    Sorry to hear that. My head is normally too numb to ache.

    So let's get one of these started. How bout that. I made a sticky... I'm powerful now!

    It takes one seat on the bench every 5 days. That isn't taxing for anyone. Hammer shouldn't be playing every day. His OPS isn't high enough to justify a hard benching of Parm. I'm not saying Parm should put hammer on the bench. I'm saying share the load. No Twins player has the stats this year to support any player suffering.

    I agree... Metrics are always hard but an organization needs a way to identify and reward the best of the ilk. I admit I don't know the average salary of scouts. 30 grand is a number that has stuck with me because I remember that figure from something I read maybe 5 years ago. Things may have improved since then but I think they are still underpaid and the quality of scouts is something that should be competed for.

    If I were the owner... I would make sure that the scouting department had the best scouts in the country period. I would pay them ridiculous money to attract the best and retain the best. If Team X has the biggest scouting budget in baseball. I would double that figure and still not make a dent in payroll because of player salaries. I would use metrics to determine success rate. If teams started to spend more on scouting in response... I'd continue to spend more. 17 scouts averaging (what) $30,000 a year. You could increase the crap out of this and it won't cost you a MLB bullpen arm. $30,000 in average salary and they are finding the players who are paid multi millions. Scouting would certainly become a top priority for me as owner.

    I typically give Gardy the benefit of the doubt but... Gardy is screwing up here in my opinion. 1. If the lefty trio of Sale, Danks and Kazmir is gonna keep the lefty Parmelee on the bench. Look ahead at that lefty trio on your schedule and don't bench Parmelee for the Righty Axelrod before the lefty trio. 2. Parmelee is the best defensive OF of the bunch. Doumit and Willingham are (in my opinion) significant steps down defensively. If Doumit and Willingham deserve more playing time than Parmelee... They better hit a ton better... They ain't hitting a ton better. 3. Parmelee splits do not suggest that he should be benched against lefties and we play a lot of lefties against lefties. 4. Rotation... With a sensible rotation... Nobody has to rot on the bench for 4 game stretches. Nobody at all. 5. Who? On this team... Is playing well enough for automatic everyday starts. Mauer... And? 6. 5 points above that have nothing to do with Parm needing to play because 2013 doesn't matter or his two home runs last night. Gardy mistreated Parm last year with absurd bench time as well. There has to be a Parm negative that is overshadowing Parm positives in someone's eyes.

    I'd be surprised if Correia is traded. I think Correia will be asked about but... IMO... Ryan isn't going to trade the most consistent starter on the team for a Hudson Boyd type prospect and other teams are not going to give up a Trevor May type prospect for him. I think we best get used to him. This is just my opinion.

    They ain't trying to swim or bail.

    I'm all about the quantity of at bats...
  15. Riverbrian
    That triple probably bounced you over to Restaurant Impossible now.
  16. Riverbrian
    Yep... No way of knowing for sure... But it's quite possible that Thomas was trying to tie the game.
  17. Riverbrian
    Thomas... You can't K in that situation... Somebody run this note to him in the dugout.
  18. Riverbrian
    That Bottom of the order is ruthless.

    Lightweight!!! North has been drunk since Thursday.
  22. Riverbrian
    If he had a longer bat... He would have been awesome.
  23. Riverbrian
    Umm... And... There's no baseball on Pitch perfect either.
  24. Riverbrian
