  1. I enjoy these writeups because they could prove interesting and useful for getting up to speed if one of these players happens to get drafted. But using an early draft pick for one of these? I don't think so.
  2. According to Wikipedia "he signed with the Twins in 2009 for US$800,000, the largest signing bonus given by an MLB franchise to a European-born player." That's why.
  3. Ditto with the hopes that the bad issues recede in the rear view mirror soon.
  4. It's almost as if the way they make the outs is less important than the frequency with which they do.
  5. Do they have a choice? I mean, you pretty much have to go up there and guess and hope.
  6. Sorry, all out of eyebleach here. Maybe Walgreens has some.
  7. "In play, no out." Whew, a single this time.
  8. Still getting used to the idea of having someone as good as Duran.
  9. Radio running about a full minute behind the Gameday feed. Annoying.
  10. Just a coincidence, and I cast no personal aspersions in this, but our four most expensive position players are not in tonight's lineup. About $70M worth of annual salary sitting there on the bench. Or, as the Yankees or Mets would probably term it, the petty cash fund.
  11. Worse than you realized, as it currently looks like Vazquez is our only substitute in tonight's game.
  12. He needs also to be prepared to bat lefty if he's called in to pinch hit against a right-handed reliever at a crucial point.
  13. Leaving Vazquez as the only bench option?
  14. He did not live through the Fernando Rodney Experience like the rest of us, so, yes, inexperienced. 😀
  15. Meaning, to hit worse than he has since 2018, when he had a broken pinkie finger that kept him out two months?
  16. Ah, well then, if you pay good money then it can't possibly be a scam. 😀
  17. After seeing Willi Castro fail to be decisive on that popup to short left the other day, this description is welcome for our prospect.
  18. This moment feels like the point in an action movie where the hero has just saved the world, before the Final Boss shows up against whom the hero will have to save the galaxy.
  19. I don't understand how Buxton isn't at least on the list. I expected him to roam CF while still hitting like a corner defender. Expectation not met = disappointment.
  20. I trust Dave St Peter, who I assume will call the shots on this business decision, to get it right. Just so long as he leaves the communication of the end-result to the public to others in the organization.
