  1. As well as a barrage of racial slurs (where applicable).
  2. You're right, Dave going on a Vodka-fueled rage at Target Field would make for great theatre.
  3. "Technically" the Pirates were a winner in the games that Correia recorded a decision.
  4. Sign a knuckleballer.......or three.
  5. A little Punto scrappiness, grit, hustle, and determination wouldn't hurt either. Oh yeah, and slides into first.
  6. How about getting Carlos Gomez's "excitement" back?
  7. I'd take that season too. But considering that his career ERA/FIP is already 4.50 in the NL, with a ton of time in pitcher's parks, with only one season north of 180 innings (and just one other even approaching it), I have to agree on the longshot. Oh yeah, and he has to do it twice.
  8. My napkin math says roughly 180 innings of 4.50 ERA/FIP.
  9. I see no uses of the word slappy, nor do I see any Megadeth t-shirts.
  10. Jeff Gray > Delmon's "best" OF position
  11. That, and the catcher constantly having to stab at the ball when it ends up nowhere near the glove.
  12. Yikes, I haven't driven "the loop" in probably 15 years.
  13. This is true, the Twins were right there with the Royals for the 2nd most innings thrown out of the bullpen. Being less reliant on the pen certainly couldn't hurt.
  14. No, team control isn't simply about money, it's about guaranteeing that you can keep your best young players on the team for an additional year without risk of them choosing to go elsewhere. Can you guarantee right now that Hicks will sign an extension to stay in Minnesota when the time comes?
  15. Did any of that attempt to account for Correia throwing nearly half of his career innings in the caverns of the NL West?
  16. I think it's safe to say that this is more about Hicks than it is about Gibson.
  17. Coming out of the bullpen minimizes his exposure to righties, and can maximize his strength. He hasn't simply been "fine" vs lefties, he has owned them to the tune of a .560 OPS against. He turns lefties into Jeff Mathis.
  18. Did he forget how to get lefties out?
  19. Please don't shoot our top prospects.
  20. Yes they were, which was below average (3.55 AL ERA for relievers, Twins were at 3.77). And they were fortunate to rank even that "well," as suggested by their 25th/28th FIP/xFIP rankings and third lowest BABIP mark. Duensing being back in the bullpen on the full-time basis will help, as will Fien pitching a full season (assuming he continues to pitch well), but above-average as a whole? That may be asking for too much.
  21. The bullpen is above average? It wasn't last year, and they haven't done much to improve it for this season.
