    Word to the wise, if you are going to try to do a bit involving an Ivy League school, at least spell it right
  2. DaveW
    A C+ prospect or two, I'd be all over it TBH.
  3. DaveW
    We have a pretty good trade chip in the minors that nobody is talking about: JR Murphy, just a year ago he was able to net a guy who has a .350 BA, 1.100 OPS, plays great D and is on pace for 30 HR and 6 WAR! Equivalent of that would be a solid #2 starter IMO. I'd shop him around and try to land a Strasburg type player (if the Nats fall out of it)

    Not so fun fact: Aaron hicks has more hR then our OF combined. We need Buxton to step up asap.
  5. DaveW
    You forgot to add Aaron hicks who has a 1.100 ops and a .350 batting average. Well on his way to a 5-6 war season
  6. DaveW
    $25 to me
  7. DaveW
    Yeah Tepesch had no business being called up before Berrios. Today proved it.
  8. DaveW
    Darvish won't be short on suitors and Minneapolis won't be anywhere near the top or even middle of his list. The only way the Twins get him is to outbid everyone, which: 1. They won't 2. They probably shouldn't I wouldn't trade away anything relevant for a rental though tbh
  9. DaveW
    Santana, Gibson and Tonkin never should have been on the roster to begin with. Better late than never I suppose.
  10. DaveW
    Also hicks has an excellent eye "pitch down" to him as a strategy is all fine and dandy, but the Margin for error isn't very high.
  11. DaveW
    4 for 5 3 run, 3 RBI and his 6th BOMB of the season. Ops back over 1.170, .355 batting average. Kid is legit, and on fire. Yankees have themselves someone real special potentially, and at the very least a 3-3.5 20 HR gold glove type at worst.
  12. DaveW
    3 for 3 .350 avg
  13. DaveW
    lol at the comparison
  14. DaveW
    So far tonight: 2 for 2 1 run. Avg up to .339 ops at 1.130
  15. DaveW
    Good thing they didn't call up Berrios, lord knows that he couldn't be as good as AAAA tespech!
  16. DaveW
    Yup! Very great point. Glen was able to separate his business interests and personal feelings, a lot of people (especially early 20's males) have a really tough time doing this. "It's not personal Mikey, it's business"

    It really cant be stated enough, Santana had a completely and utterly unsustainable .404 BABIP in 2014. Since 1945, there has been exactly ONE hitter (qualified) who posted over .404 in a single season, and that was Rod Carew in 1978. The other two right behind Santana are Roberto Clemente and Manny Ramierez. 3 hall of famers basically. Which begs a less important, but IMO a more interesting question: Did Danny Santana have the luckiest season in the history of baseball? I would say yes. Can Santana potentially get better than he is now? Sure. But anybody thinking he can replicate his rookie season or anything close to it? I would suggest that it's about 20x more likely that Mauer suddenly hits 30HR again out of nowhere.

    Also should be noted that the most frustrating part of Santana (and how the Twins used him) isn't even his fault. The most damaging aspect of the Santana era is when they decided that HE should be their 4th OF/back up CF last year. That led them to trading away Hicks, who not only would have been a premium 4th OF, but suddenly looks like at the very least a 3-3.5 WAR player (and potential all start type if he keeps it up) In reality, Santana never ever should have been considered anything more than an absolute emergency option in the OF, he was never going to hit enough to even justify being a 4th OF. He is basically a "meh" MI util type player. Again, that will play in the NL, especially if a team needs a warm "professional" body if they experience some injuries, but for a team like the Twins? No way.
  19. DaveW
    Yeah my biggest worry is that Gibson ends up doing solid in AAA, has a couple "meh" starts in the 2nd half of the season for the Twins and then decide to offer him arb (and effectively another starting spot for 2018) Unless he reinvents himself somehow in the minors, I'd rather just move on at this stage.
  20. DaveW
    Give me a break, Santana was never a whipping boy. Many of us just said it made zero sense for someone like him to be on a rebuilding club. Zero upside, a minus player across the board (basically replacement level) that's just stating reality. Let him catch on with an NL club as a depth piece, best of luck to him, but as mentioned there always were better current options on this club over the past couple years, and especially moving forward.
  21. DaveW
    Hyperbole is fun!
  22. DaveW
    So far so good. Keep beating up on the bad teams, and hope to stay as close to .500 as possible against the good ones.
  23. DaveW
    Nope. This was his first one. Solid timing!
  24. DaveW
    Walk off Hr! Hopefully this jump starts him a bit (turns the luck around a bit as well hopefully)
  25. DaveW
    Mega Hunk Joe Mauer!!!!!!!!
