  1. He's clearly been convinced by the national media that the Astros are unbeatable
  2. Nothing like coming into a game where everything you do is unearned, right Phil?
  3. Torii acting like having 1st rounders on your MLB squad is luck
  4. It doesn't get any easier after McCann
  5. Why are we pulling Jose here?
  6. I see that the break didn't help Polanco's patheticness
  7. Twins trying to stay out of the double steal that embarrassed them a couple weeks ago
  8. Is that a picture of our winning percentage on Sunday morning?
  9. OK.... Santana's available
  10. Vargas is a passable major league LH hitter. Unfortunately for Kennys that is just about the last thing this teams needs.
  11. The title of this thread needs to be changed to "Royce Lewis (not yet) Promoted"
  12. All PO are a CS, but not all CS are a PO. Seems odd to call one play two different things in the box score
  13. The box score showed him with a CS and a PO. Not accurate?
  14. Jorge got them because he's on the 40-man (so is Romero) and his starts lined up with when he was scheduled to pitch
  15. Ervin Santana and Gibson have pretty close to the same xFIP. My brain can't handle that fact and I have no idea what that tells me about Ervin, Gibby, or xFIP as a meaningful stat. Now the rest of you are burdened by this information just like I have been today.
  16. Except he did extended spring training last year, which will not show up on MiLB.com, but are real innings, if we're talking about ramping up his innings limit. I suspect he'll get to 140-150 this year. I wouldn't be shocked if he gets to 130 and he gets a call up to the majors to throw in the bullpen in mid August, and accumulate another 15-20 innings
  17. It's a moot point. $14M for Santana is a bargain. If the Twins were looking to deal Santana, his possible suitors would view that option year as a huge positive.
  18. Santana has a team option for the year after next. At $14M, that's an absolute lock to get picked up unless he just completely falls off a cliff. (Also, it would vest if he throws 200 innings next year or 400 combined between this year and next year) Basically.... unless we trade him, he's on this team for 2 more years after this one
  19. Gonsalves only has 23 AA starts. I'd hardly call that repeating, just because some came last year and some came this year.
  20. I'm a Buxton fan, don't get me wrong... but getting Archer would be pretty sweet
  21. Perhaps a more interesting question.... would you include Buxton as the main piece of an Archer trade?
  22. Happy to see Granite get a start but I kind of wish it wasn't at the expense of Buxton, who's had a nice last week or so. Couldn't we sit Grossman and DH Kepler or Rosario. Other than yesterday, Grossman has been scuffling a little.
  23. I think keeping the lefties together messes with opposing teams more than breaking them up. I'll use us facing the Red Sox as an example. The first two games of the series were Sale and Pomernaz. They are both lefties. We sat Mauer and Kepler against Sale. You don't want to sit them both two days in a row, so they both played against Pomeranz even though they have significant split issues against lefties.
  24. This leads me to believe that Mauer's back is more serious of a problem than we might believe and Kepler will be splitting time at 1b with Vargas, and Granite will be playing a decent amount of RF
