    I don't think shelving switch hitting is a good idea, but I do think that with the roster we have, switch hitting will become less and less of an option for him over the next couple years. With Buxton roaming center, and good hitters like Arcia and Rosario (and Kepler?) manning the corners, there won't be any real reason to play Hicks against good right-handed pitchers. I think he'll naturally settle into a role of part-time outfielder, bench bat, and good defensive replacement, and if that's the case, I'd expect the majority of his at-bats to be right-handed anyway.

    On the optimistic side, good for Achter! On the more realistic side, more needs to be done. The Fryer for Herrmann swap is bascially a wash. We wouldn't even notice something like that if they were both in AAA (where they probably belong). Boyer is still on the roster needlessly. A couple of other thoughts: the DFA of Fryer opens a spot for a waiver claim. AJ maybe? Herrmann can just be optioned again so no harm no foul. Also, not a great debut for Duffey, but hey, free health care for life, right? Anyway, I think he'll be back, just probably in the pen.

    I can accept if I'm wrong. But I always see Aderlin on milb.com, so I'd love a definitive answer. Anybody know him personally?

    Agreed about Duffey. I'm also looking forward to some analysis of the 40 man decisions coming up this offseason, and not just to find spots for young pitchers. If done right, I think there ought to be a purge of the fringe guys anyway. Simple rule 5 concerns seem like they should exclude at least a few of the fringe guys we've got right now. There's too much talent in the upper minors (and now, mercifully, leaking into the major leagues) for some of these guys to hang on.

    Aderlin.

    HA ha ha ha hahahaha! Oh wait. That wasn't a joke?
  7. 70charger
    No kidding. I hadn't heard of this guy before today, and I wasn't exactly sure whether Pitz was trolling.

    This is pretty much my thought too. Prepare yourself for the long run, and hope to catch lightning in a bottle the rest of the way. Stranger things have happened, and what we're doing now with the crusty vets sure ain't working. If that's throwing in the towel, consider me on board.

    He didn't say Dozier was "better" either. He said he was a guy to build around. Frankly, for the next four years (I think that's what Dozier's contract is, and Tulo's is what? 5?), I think he is a guy to build around.

    Did you even glance at the stats? Like at all? This has zero basis in fact. Butera has a career OPS+ of 38. This year it's a whopping 10. Suzuki has a career mark of 86. This year it's a frustrating, but still miles better than Sweet Drew, 62. You're off by orders of magnitude.

    Me (and probably most fans) when the Twins bullpen comes in. http://imgfave-herokuapp-com.global.ssl.fastly.net/image_cache/1392481271477251.jpg

    Kennys Vargas running the bases: http://imgfave-chat-herokuapp-com.global.ssl.fastly.net/image_cache/1392480801358833.jpg (He should just hit more home runs...)

    Hear hear! Well said, Mr. Buhr.

    96 MPH fastballs can't melt steel beams.

    Hate to rain on the hate parade (which I happily contributed to), but O'Rourke has been a real bright spot in this bullpen.

    Only if Canada takes Justin Bieber back.
  18. 70charger
    No Foxtrax for that Escobar "strike"?
  19. 70charger
    You set that line pretty well.
  20. 70charger
    Congrats! I mean the second thing.
  21. 70charger
    Usually when I say "cut him," I'm being facetious because that person is doing really well. I'm not being facetious about Boyer. Cut him. Yesterday.
  22. 70charger
    Progressing well it seems. Will start rehabbing and swinging very soon.
  23. 70charger
    Whee! More bunting!
  24. 70charger
    Ha. Gross. I'm picturing that scene from Dumb & Dumber, with the cop.
  25. 70charger
    See!? This! This right here is why you score some runs when you have the bases loaded with no outs!
