    That occurred to me too. Supposedly he was Miguel Sano's mentor, and how'd that turn out? (although in this case it might be more on the pupil than the teacher). Also, has Cruz hung up his cleats? Maybe he wants one more kick at the can.

    You said it!

    These reclamation projects usually fail. Might as well give it a shot, though. Might be the next Oil Can Boyd (see Expos)

    Pablo and Arraez both trending under 4 now. Good one!😀 Wish I'd thought of it....
  5. chinmusic
    That's it? It was an unparalleled pitching masterpiece. He was brilliant!!

    Having Michael Taylor in CF and Buxton at DH is a patchwork solution. It's the type of alignment, I think, that can work well temporarily. For half a season, it's been a huge handicap. It's like being down 2-0 before the game even starts. A players only meeting is not going to bestow perfect health on Buxton, or provide flexibility at DH. I have nothing at all against Taylor. He has some surprising pop, and provides speed and defence, but he's not a full time player. Correa leading off is, like, whatever. Shuffling the lineup is smoke and mirrors. Unfortunately, the Buxton situation and its domino effect continues to steer the ship. So what's the solution, or is there one?

    On the lighter side.... I can guarantee with ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY that Correa will not hit into a DP in his first AB (see lineup) No such claim will be made regarding subsequent at bats.
  8. chinmusic
    Not as confident as you are, but I'll be thrilled if you're right.
  9. chinmusic
    I've wondered for a while if his wrist really is OK. Drop off in power is reminiscent of last year.
  10. chinmusic
    Ok, the Kepler bashing is getting old. I wanna see a response from Gleeman😀
  11. chinmusic
    Yeah, it was strange. His self confidence may be non existent at this point. Pity. He was supposed to be such an integral piece. He ain't no Sonny Gray (bulldog quotient). That said, you never know, maybe he'll get it together.
  12. chinmusic
    I'm guessing that was meant as a "pithy" comment. But let's just say if Kepler needs to make any decisions, I would imagine he'd be capable of deciding for himself what he wants to do, and where he wants to do it.
  13. chinmusic
    Interesting article. It was the bomba squad season that skewed my evaluation of Kepler. At the time, I thought great, he's ready to take the next step. And I was right! He took the next step backward.
  14. chinmusic
    Agreed. The lineup always feels more solid with Polanco in it. More depth.
  15. chinmusic
    Yeah, I think so too. He's certainly due, and Rocco keeps putting him in the lineup. Also, I'd love to see Lopez have a really dominant start. (lots of other things to wish for, but I'll leave it at that)
  16. chinmusic
    Good question. Maybe Correa's insane off season has taken a toll. Who knows. Meanwhile, his protege, Royce Lewis, just exudes confidence and energy. As an aside, what about Buxton? Surely he's hurt... the lack of production is hard to believe. Well, hope springs eternal. Taking the rubber match vs the Astros tonight would be a good start.
  17. chinmusic
    So did Shannon Stewart. It can become very painful and frustrating, as it can easily reoccur. Let's hope for the best.
  18. chinmusic
    This year or any other year. It was right down the middle! Unbelievable!
  19. chinmusic
    Eric Davis comes to mind as equally fragile. Another incredible talent.
  20. chinmusic
    And amazingly, he finished the at bat. Well, maybe the diagnosis and recovery time prove inaccurate.
  21. chinmusic
    Just one?😀
  22. chinmusic
    Yeah, but not known for his fielding. He ain't no Brooks Robinson. The ongoing evolution of the Twins this year, both offensively and pitching wise, is fun to watch. But defense really is a huge issue.
  23. chinmusic
    Alex Colome. Now that's sinful!
  24. chinmusic
    2-2 (after last night)
  25. chinmusic
    I think I read that Pablo Lopez was the NL pitcher of the month last April with the Marlins. Be that as it may, all 3 of Gray, Ryan and P Lopez have done wonders in solidifying the rotation. Here's to an equally robust May!
