    I'm just intrigued by the phrase "Palka Power Caps" from the subject line. Sounds a product Daniel will endorse if he makes it to the big show.

    Maybe they see him as better than a Danny Santana type. Your last sentence is the key. Assuming Polanco continues to hit in September, his 2B play at AAA will seem less odd if Dozier is traded. Not trading Dozier is the move I will consider odd, at this point.

    He's not going to display new skills on the field. What matters to potential trade partners is that after coming off the DL he shows he can play several days in a row without pulling up lame.

    Well, I stopped by to sample the scintillating conversation, and got beguiled by the tumbling sagebrush, but now I gotta go run my errands. Hopefully I come back to a large Twins lead. http://media.fakeposters.com/results/2012/11/08/9zvoni067u.jpg

    Grossman and Plouffe make those two plays, right? (On a day they're both in their usual spots on the field, I mean.)

    Strat-O needs to add a feature allowing Kangaroo Courts, so there can be fines when things like that happen. Then a big Strat-O-Party at the end of the season with the proceeds!

    I think a couple of years is enough time for a pitching coach to establish a record to judge him by. Allen's had some successes to point to: who expected Kintzler to be serviceable in closing out ninth innings? The veteran ESan has done well. Fernando Abad did well in his short time here, and Taylor Rogers has done well since coming up. There's a couple of other pitchers with so-so records in the bullpen, Tonkin and Pressly - Tonkin's perhaps achieved his ceiling, Pressly I still keep expecting more from. One might give Allen credit for getting another smoke-and-mirrors season out of Milone last year, but that magic apparently wore off. Blaine Boyer's 2015 probably also needs to be added to the list of successes. And yet... to me this is no better than a so-so resume for the past two years. If I were in charge I would thank Allen for his service and offer to give good recommendations to his next prospective employer, and roll the dice with somebody else. Stu Cliburn from AAA, somebody from outside the organization (as Neil Allen himself once was) - I don't have preconceived notions. I just think coaches are relatively expendable in the cause of finding a stellar one, and Allen doesn't seem to be stellar.
