    Yeah, I think I'm going to take this route, and say that the money freed up by trading Nolasco and then non-tendering Santiago can be applied toward improving on what we have. I look forward to the day we trade a veteran FA we signed, due to prospects beating the door down.

    Giving up the lead in the 7th means one less inning to pitch. Saves wear and tear on the bullpen.

    Also good Pat Light.

    Why is it always Bad Kyle when I tune in? In any case, Mrs Ashburyjohn and I have tickets to the Red Sox tonight so I may have to ration my baseball for the day.

    Not for players not on a 40-man roster, I believe, which would be the basis for any knock-me-over trade I would be interested in. The Twins rotation has not gone the way it was planned when the three veterans were signed to their contracts to bridge to the next generation of pitchers, and by now I feel as though ESan needs to stay with the team lest we resign ourselves to another horrible year. Yes, trade him if doing so brings back significant prospects, but don't just trade him for salary relief and 40-man roster flexibility; we don't have enough MLB-ready starters to need 40-man flexibility.

    His batting average on balls in play in AAA has been very high. 2015: 59 plate appearances, .500 BABIP 2016 (first stint): 129 PA, .393 BABIP 2016 (second stint): 64 PA, .419 BABIP I imagine International League average BABIP (not sure where to look that up and verify) is more like the American League's .300. A very few hitters can sustain it consistently above that, but not many. And Buxton's BABIP, if not a mirage, hasn't translated to the majors yet. I too would like to see him play in AAA a while longer - see how he does when the ball isn't falling in quite as handily, OR see if the major league numbers come to look more like the aberration.

    How many minor league baseball parks have you visited?
  11. ashbury
    More than the more than usual that you usually do, you mean.

    I clicked Like on this abhorrent cartoon on behalf of LaBombo, not myself.

    We scored 7 runs. Why do we have to face their closer?
  15. ashbury
    So it was YOU! You know how jinxes work. Didn't we tell you a long while ago to stop thinking things?

    Overmatched bullpen is overmatched.

    We'll want additional reassurance runs in the 9th.

    ProTip: pay no attention to my advice. Technical or otherwise.

    We have only two relievers.

    Seven runs in, and we're hoping for insurance here in the top of the 8th. Twins Baseball!

    Click UnLike on all of Chief's posts and see if you get a refund that you can spend again.

    Pressly's got that same suspicious looking black smear on the bill of his cap that Joe Nathan always had.

    In exchange for one bullpen arm who can shut down a critical at bat. Please.
