    And by the way, that 2.2 WAR includes the demerits for being a first baseman.
  2. 70charger
    That's all fine. Demerit away for a first baseman. And yes, he's a 2.2 WAR player. Not below replacement. If you haven't figured out that that's what he is by now, then whatever. But to think that that is worth literally cutting him and eating his salary? And replacing him with a question mark? Come on. Who's being serious now?

    Haley sighting.
  4. 70charger
    Is there any other player that you're remotely interested in?
  5. 70charger
    Because he's not actually bad? Which is pretty obvious? Bad question. He's on the roster because he is one of the best 25 players. He's a bit above league average with the bat (106 OPS+ last year) and an excellent fielder at 1B. He's below average for a first baseman, sure, but so what? Who's your replacement? Park? He was absolutely below replacement level last year. Cutting him is a bit ridiculous. Sure the money plays a part, but Mauer isn't actively losing games like some other players on the team. The fact that he can't change what he is doesn't make him a below-replacement player, which he very obviously isn't. I tend to think the hate comes from the amount of money paid to him - which simply evinces a pure ignorance of baseball economics on the part of the hater - and the comparison to what he used to be - which simply isn't fair.

    I would have loved to see a Vargas triple.

    Can't be doing **** like that with Hughes on the mound. Okay, refocus.
  8. 70charger
    Kepler. Noooo.

    I think I agree with this. As for the last part, that's harder. Maybe Breslow is out? Maybe Duffey goes to AAA and stretches out starting to be that next guy up? I might lean toward the latter, because if Berrios is up and Gibson is out of the rotation, the starter depth becomes super thin.

    I think this is being overlooked, especially by the usual suspects. He isn't a bad person. He's not stubborn. He's not trying to make the team lose. He doesn't not care. He just can't anymore.

    I think it was Aaron Gleeman who said Tonkin is probably a pretty reasonable, major-league level 6th or 7th inning guy. Nothing special, but nothing bad. However, Molitor refuses to use him that way, clearly doesn't trust him with any leverage, and sticks him in spots where he just won't be very successful. So why delay the inevitable? If the manager won't use him right, anyway, what's the downside of losing him? I think there's something to that take.

    Mauer was absolutely robbed there. Terrible "strike" call.
  13. 70charger
    Duffey's kind of a bright spot today, though. And Taylor Rodgers was both used correctly and effective. So there's that.
  14. 70charger
    Dude...
  15. 70charger
    I'm afraid you're right.
  16. 70charger
    I'm often not so sure when it comes to Bert.
  17. 70charger
    Especially when it's not happening to the other team.
  18. 70charger
    Definitely agree. He's one of my favorite players to watch on the Twins. He's a pretty good player, and he always seems like he plays the right way and has fun. Nobody wants to see a downer out there, right?
  19. 70charger
    Rosario was super frustrating to me last year, especially on high fastballs out of the zone. I'm happy to see his approach progress this year.
  20. 70charger
    Nice rip by Escobar there.
  21. 70charger
    Nope.
  22. 70charger
    Bro, you are terrible at haikus.

    If that's the road to Essaouira, I have been there. I sent a picture of a goat tree to my five year old niece in Germany, and she immediately started whining to my sister about how it wasn't fair that they weren't growing goats at their house. I think my sister ended up telling her that goats don't grow in the cold German weather.

    Thank you, John Madden.

    They're not incompatible. Jesus came back to life and was all like "got you guys!" At least, that's kind of what I remember from the Bible...
