    Long as you're not a snitch, you should be OK.

    You got away easy. Most guys your age pull a femur or an aorta.

    Gibson walks a run in. Wait, check that. Sanchez swings at ball four. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

    Hi, Dick Bremer! Are you reading Twins Daily tonight? You pretty much gave a shout-out to this article a moment ago without naming names.

    I remember watching Eduardo Escobar in the process of breaking out in a similar fashion. I think it was in Spring Training some years ago, during batting practice he was clearly having some "fun" going for homers, and I figured, nah, just messing around, boys will be boys. Lotta laughing with teammates during this. Nope, this was serious work, in between the laughs. Next, during real games during the regular season, every now and then you could see he would take a serious rip during a plate appearance, at a very intelligent moment in the game when a surprise HR could be a difference maker - then if that didn't work he'd switch modes back to his normal swing for the rest of the PA - until eventually he was behaving like an all-purpose hitter fulltime. I don't know whether the same timeline's going to happen for Ay-Ray, but home run power is often the last of the tools to develop.

    FTFY, for this thread

    If Larnach is traded for any reliever, the drafting strategy is a failure. The FO has pointedly avoided best starter available in their drafts, in favor of picking surer hitting talents. This looks like an intention to trade some of the eventual surplus, for pitching that is further developed. To trade him for a reliever leaves unanswered the question, "so where are the front of the rotation pitchers supposed to come from?" All the above is IMO.

    I'd feel better about the idea if some other team had scooped us on this bold strategy.

    I dunno. Some teams have probably been tempted to send a thank-you basket.
  23. ashbury
    Perhaps in part due to a deep bullpen with lots of arms.
  24. ashbury
    If we trade off any and all of the well-regarded prospects? Yes. Probably so.
