    Last time we had the first pick overall we landed Joe Mauer. I wonder who the top high school player in Minnesota is... Just trying to get ready for the 2017 draft.
  2. Riverbrian
    I just went back and read it. I missed the original posting. Thumbs UP!!! (High Five) I gave you a well deserved belated like

    Kintzler is settling into his new role of Long Relief Closer.

    I decided to look at the waiver wire of my fantasy league. And there was Giancarlo Stanton still available. Guess my league is kinda slow. He's gone now... I got him.

    I didn't want to trade Dozier back in May when he seemed hopelessly broken. I didn't want to trade when he seemingly got back to the normal Dozier because I thought that he would be a nice veteran to compete with a young team that's going to do some great things in the future. Now... My God... Trade Him... You should be able to land a young pitcher with incredible upside and ready to start his MLB career in 2017. Like a Urias and maybe a talented add on. Trade for pitching only... If you can't get that... Keep Him. But you should be able to get that... So trade him!!! Dozier has turned himself into... Da Dun Dah... The INCREDIBLE PACKAGE!!!

    I could sense and relate to him.
  7. Riverbrian
    I'm actually glad that Dozier made a couple of outs tonight. He was starting to scare me.

    If I could only use one lineup for the rest of the year. Mauer... Plouffe and Suzuki would not be in the lineup in that scenario. If I'm allowed to create different lineups... I would mix Mauer and Plouffe in. Polanco would be my leadoff guy. Dozier 3 Sano 4 Vargas 5 Buxton would stay 9.. I'm not worried about the few extra swings he would get. I'll just patiently wait for continued signs of improvement and not change anything. 2 6 7 and 8... I'll draw out of a hat

    In my opinion... Only if you factor in Defense or experience related intangibles does Plouffe end up as the better player. But only if you factor in Defense. And if you factor in Defense... Plouffe is only a decent steady defender who is miles from the "I take hits away" type guy so in my opinion... That boost just doesn't add to much... It certainly doesn't add up to... This guy needs to play every day. At the plate... Vargas appears to be better... At least with my eyes and his stats appear to back my eyes up. Bottom Line... It's never black or white to me... It's never this guy sits and this guy plays to me. Plouffe can sit... Mauer can sit... Sano can sit on occasion and so can Vargas. When someone (vargas) sits all the time. That's when I don't like it. Especially when the guys playing in front of him have not out performed him at the plate. A good manager can figure this out in our current situation without someone getting splinters. A good manager should figure it out.

    He could help fix our pitching He is the only one who could help fix our pitching. Dozier is more likely to fix our pitching than Neil Allen.

    His couple of good weeks (I'll say Month) with the Twins in 2016 is good enough for me. Ask a player to perform and then bench him when he does. I'm flat out against that. He's earned a chance to continue performing like he was. Who was out performing him? If he can't... He can't... Let him show us. And... If you stretch it out... 475 MLB AB's now for his career and I don't think he has done anything to not be allowed an opportunity. Other players are forgiven for having stretches like he had in 2015. I'm actually surprised that you don't feel the same.
  12. Riverbrian
    I'm actually kinda relieved that Vargas is up I won't be totally relieved unless Molitor actually plays him. He earned it.
  13. Riverbrian
    (Shakes Head) I'm actually looking at the second hand of my watch How long it takes for Vargas to get here is going to reflect the amount of support that I give Rob Antony going forward.
  14. Riverbrian
    9 Hits plus only 1 Walk... 10 Baserunners His Last outing was 6 hits and 5 Walks for 11 Baserunners Let us celebrate this WHIP Improvement (HIGH FIVE)
  15. Riverbrian
    Wimmers has a max effort change up and it goes well with his max effort fastball.
  16. Riverbrian
    Rochester Red Wings season is officially done now. Is it ok to assume that Vargas is on his way to Minnesota?
  17. Riverbrian
    If you didn't know the limestone was there. While Jumping for that ball. Logan would have looked as ridiculous as anybody as ever looked in a professional baseball game.
  18. Riverbrian
    And still he's one of our top 3 pitchers!!! (High Five)
  19. Riverbrian
    And Mauer ends up patiently waiting for a pitch that never comes. Joe doesn't have a chance to get back to what he once was.
  20. Riverbrian
    Yeah... Women!!! They also give you no credit for percentages. Wife: You spilled again!!! You Spill all the time!!! Riverbrian: It's not like you don't spill on occasion! Wife: Once a Year... I spill a beer... You spill once a week. Riverbrian: You have maybe 3 beers a year. I'm having a beer all the time. Based on percentages... I'm kicking your ass! Riverbrian: Where are going with the TV? Wife: I'm moving it into the kitchen Riverbrian: Gates and Padlocks to keep me out of the living room again? Wife: Yep Riverbrian: I'll go get the gate out of the garage.
  21. Riverbrian
    You had me until he struck out.
  22. Riverbrian
    Kennedy proves that the Royals are not perfect.
  23. Riverbrian
    Yeah I'm assuming that you are not allowed in the living room anymore either.
  24. Riverbrian
    Rosario Smosario Ho Hum When does Buxton and Dozier hit again!!! C'Mon!!! Hurry up!!!!
  25. Riverbrian
    All evidence of the game that no longer exists must be removed. When I spill a beer in the living room. I must remove all evidence of it before my wife gets home. If I don't... she will know that it existed.
