Dozier was a bit of a disappointment, with his .978 OPS vs lefties last year and BB/K ratio more than double what it was vs. righties.

Bartlett... What not?

LaBombo replied to Bark's Lounge's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk

For about a year now it's seemed as though Plouffe's defense was more or less given a pass just because nobody believed he'd be at third by the time the team was close to contending. But if anything goes wrong with Sano's ascent to Twins third baseman, there's nobody else on track to be a better option than Plouffe.

Hats off to Cola for following the dream instead of the money. Well done. Bonus points for translating for Arcia in the postgames. That being said, the stark contrast between the adulation over his nice week and the detached skepticism about Anthony Slama is puzzling.

Chris Herrmann Promoted

LaBombo replied to Seth Stohs's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk

Yup. The fact that a catcher's outfield defense is drawing raves ("terrific"!) and is deemed worthy of center speaks volumes about the lowering of the bar for what is surely one of the worst defensive outfields in baseball. And it's interesting that there's already been an almost angry defense of the Herrmann promotion even though nobody was particularly down on it.

Bartlett... What not?

LaBombo replied to Bark's Lounge's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk

My fear is that Hardy's monumental offensive 2011 season aside, the franchise will thirst for his defense like water in the Sahara before their almost magical inability to have an actual functioning shortstop comes to an end.

Chris Herrmann Promoted

LaBombo replied to Seth Stohs's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk

Yes! Parmelee can play RF and 1B. Herrmann has been used at RF and 1B and 3B and LF and CF and Catcher. There's a huge difference. Bartlett put on a clinic regarding that subject today. Also, you mentioned catcher in a way that made it sound like you believe having three catchers has value. Why?

Chris Herrmann Promoted

LaBombo replied to Seth Stohs's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk

Outside of his ability to be a third catcher, how is Herrmann as versatile as Parmelee? And in what way is a third catcher not a waste of a roster spot for a dugout therapist to help Gardenhire cope with his phobia of catcher injury doomsday scenarios?

Bartlett... What not?

LaBombo replied to Bark's Lounge's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk

Six games in and the offense is producing at a level that it can't possibly sustain in a way that can make up for an offensive zero. Six games and eight years in to Pedro Florimon's development, we know that he still can't hit, and very likely never will. His value is entirely defensive, and therefore fairly subjective and debatable.

Chris Herrmann Promoted

LaBombo replied to Seth Stohs's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk

How about taking Gadzuksie out of the lineup to play Pinto? His hot start is even more likely to end abruptly than Cola's given his firmly established history of being a .235 hitter with poor plate discipline. In any case, the injuries to Willi and Arcia and the debut of SuperUte Bartlett in the outfield have revealed how shallow the organization is in terms of MLB-ready outfield depth.

It wouldn't surprise me if he gets a free pass again this year with a farewell tour featuring Sano and Buxton in 2015. Wouldn't have a big problem with that if not for concern that there might be a temptation to retain him beyond next season if it goes crazy 2001 good.

Easy choice. Ipecac Escobar over Baneberry Bartlett, unless Escobar is so bad that he literally starts crying on the field.
