    A mental image I. Did. Not. Need.

    Just arrived. Score of 5-2 (CBU!). Looks like we got a well-pitched game from Hughes. About ready to bring in Perk to finish this one out?

    So you think an equally plausible theory is that the Rays decided to trade Young because they'd be going to the WS that year? It's not like the rooster crowing because the sun rises. Teams make moves; seasonal results then happen. You can't chalk up a WS appearance to one particular move, but all you can do is look at the moves and make the judgements.

    One. Which brings his grand total to ... zero. / Yes, it was an "innie". // His frat house nickname in college was Buttons.

    "But we love him," is what I've heard behind my back, by mine, for six.

    I would like to apologize for the recent stretch of bad performances by the Twins. Due to a house move and other activities I have been unable to take part in TD Game Threads very much. I am sure that once I am back on a regular basis, the team will straighten itself out as before. Again, my apologies.

    Come to Spring Training sometime, if you haven't. Watching Kelly work with the young'uns is one of the highlights, either during drills or when he's managing one of the minor league games. (Jeff Smith comes to mind as being more "all business" around his charges.) Kelly might be a bit reserved in matters relating to the general public, but he's a different guy when in his element. That's probably true of a lot of us.

    I'm not going to invest the effort to decide.

    FTFY. I have it on good authority that Chief is lazy.

    How about his RHP split?

    A meaningless plate appearance I watched (and wrote up) in spring training is totally consistent with what we're seeing now that he's been called up. Some pitcher got two strikes on him - one called, one sharp foul. Sano just looked so locked in at that point. He watched the next pitch go by, low, for a ball. And another out of the strike zone. And another. And ball four. But he seemed so utterly ready to punish a pitch had one been in the strike zone. Just a simple walk, in a spring game, but I was sold, both on Sano's discipline and on the fun spring training is. OK, I already knew the latter.

    Yeah, I picked a different guy on the same team and it hasn't worked out quite as well.

    For one thing, his lack of speed on the basepaths suggests to me that he lacks the quickness to play short at the major league level.

    Unless and until the makeup of this roster changes, I am against signing anyone to a multi-year contract when part of the unstated logic is "and if all else fails, he can play corner outfield or first base or DH." That is how we got Ryan Doumit, and similar (restricted) logic had us with Josh Willingham for longer than it turns out we should have. (And I was for the Hammer signing at the time, mea culpa.) We have a first baseman, and the rules state that we can only put one DH into the starting lineup per game.
  16. ashbury
    If it depends on the weather then the rule wording needs to be sharpened up a bit, IMO.

    Avery will play CF for Rochester more than Kepler would, I am guessing. And Walker is not a factor in CF. So I don't see Avery as having too much impact on a callup for those two.

    I'm going to combine an apparent auto-correct failure in Nick's post with Chief's observation, to suggest that we're going with the "There Must Be A Pony In This Pile" approach.
  19. ashbury
    I admire the apparent OCD that would both detect the duplication, and offer this solution. Bad hitting shortstops? Nick Punto.

    John Paciorek, of the 1.000 batting average and OPS+ of 495.

    And kinda goofy.
  23. ashbury
    It would be a big responsibility but I... hey waitaminnit!
  24. ashbury
    No, the first baseman. Who's on the bench.
