    Fives, even!

    The lack of contact skills really worries me.

    Happened to me a little bit ago when Pensacola had their series against Chattanooga.

    Whoa. Any indication what Cabbage did and/or how long he's out?

    I'm like 97% sure Raymond Luxury Yacht was being sarcastic in responding to a previous poster, but thanks for laying it all out like that. This was a sucky report for injuries, but it doesn't seem like it's time to hit the panic button yet.

    Arraez reminds me a good deal of Polanco when he got his first taste of the majors. Nothing scares him, he never gives away at-bats, and his contact skills are readily apparent.

    This is where commas are important.

    Why would you automatically assume that every team would just call up a minor leaguer for the 26th spot? Seems to me like that's about as likely to go to a free agent as any other. Speaking of which, there are a couple of pitchers still on the market that would make great 26th men if the rules were effective immediately.

    Great answer. Dude was unreal before he shredded his knees.
  11. 70charger
    Good.

    It won't last. Brothers and sisters are natural enemies! Like Packers and Vikings! Or Chiefs and Vikings! Or Saints and Vikings! Or Vikings and other Vikings! Damn Vikings! They ruined Minnesota!

    You might be tongue in cheek here, but I’m intrigued. Take someone with a Mauer hitting profile. Stick Rosario behind and deeper than the traditional second baseman position and slide your second baseman over toward the bag for the up the middle shots. First, short, and third don’t move. Then play Buxton in center-right, and Hamilton in left field. How much would Mauer hit then? Edit: I wanted to add that Rosario is your second key (or a Marwin Gonzalez / Zach Cozart type) because he can play the infield, having spent a lot of minors time at second base, plus we know he can slide right back into the outfield too.

    It's hard to tell if you're being sarcastic, or whether you've really accepted that his point was about predestination. (This is why we can't have intelligent conversations about what is and isn't security.) It's about acceptance of risk. You could die while crossing a suburban street, and yet we don't stump for TSA checkpoints at every crosswalk. Is it possible that something bad happens to you at a baseball game? Sure. Will your security theater do anything to prevent it? Of course not. Still, we accept the risk. A risk, by the way, that has resulted in exactly zero shootings or terrorist attacks in more than a century of open-gates baseball.

    You don't understand the difference between simple and simplistic.

    And my response showed why the question was moot...

    I think it’s you who needs to look it up on Wikipedia. The one speculative benefit you mention (complete with a “citation needed”) is absolutely overwhelmed by the listed downsides. But hey, go read it for yourself if you need to: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_theater
  18. 70charger
    This post comes bound up with innumerable unexamined assumptions, not the least of which is the ridiculous idea that this pseudo security would ever stop an incident from happening.
  19. 70charger
    Why are we so obsessed with security theater? Useless faux-solutions to problems that have never existed.

    I knew nothing about him before today, but I like the hire based on what I’m reading. More than that, I love the fact that the FO isn’t hiding behind traditional ways of doing things to prolong their run. Reward comes with risk. Failure, on the other hand, is easily achievable whether risks are taken or not.

    I was pretty shocked to hear the bullpen mentioned for Thorpe. For me, that’s a failure of development. His pitch mix, durability, and makeup scream starter. He’s not leaning on a wild 99 mph heater with a marginal secondary. He’s got four pitches, none of which blow you away, but great pitchability. His upside seems like innings eater at worst. If he puts it together he’s he real deal.

    Great handle. Welcome to the site.

    Excellent post, and Oliva - in my homerish opinion - should be in the hall. At least Joe's got that decade at catcher to balance out the horrible deficiency in voters' minds of not being a Yankee.
  24. 70charger
    Great idea for an article. I'm pretty shocked at the sorry state of the left side of the infield and, especially, center field. Not to take much away from Sano and Polanco as players, since I think their best years are ahead of them, but half a great season at 3B, and a 92 OPS+ at shortstop? Total meh. Pretty sorry state of things that the Twins of previous years this decade couldn't muster up anything better.

    You'd think his swing would be a good candidate, but I wouldn't mind if this pose became the inevitable statue at Target Field. Anyone else?
