    A whole lot of snark in this thread. It's nice watching an OF come to the plate and actually show some patience and lay off the off-speed stuff. Something Buxton, Arcia and Rosario have shown very little of. While the power he has shown and the BABIP of .393 will probably fade, he has actually looked like a hitter with a plan going up to the plate which has been a breathe of fresh air. He's only 26 and has less than 900 ML PA. Reading this thread you would think he was some 33 year old re-tread having a career year. Even as a 4th OF type I think he has some potential.

    BULL DOZIERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Well guys. I was wrong. Plouffe thought the swinging bunt could get it done. He was wrong.
  4. SwainZag
    This seems around right
  5. SwainZag
    He's just setting the table

    I'm calling a Plouffe walk off. Book it.
  7. SwainZag
    That was a nasty pitch

    Can we win this one? I want to win this one.

    You had me until you suggested the Twins trade Sano.

    If I am not mistaken next year is the last year he will be under control right?

    http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/15955489/james-shields-traded-chicago-white-sox-san-diego-padres-erik-johnson-fernando-tatis-jr Shields to the South Side for SP Erik Johnson and SS Fernando Tatis Jr.

    With only 4 OF on the roster in Buxton, Grossman, Arcia and Kepler you have to assume he is going to see a lot of playing time
  16. SwainZag
    And just like that he is sitting 3rd in the AL in WAR for 1B and probably staring at his 7th AS appearance if he keeps it up for a few weeks.

    I read zero of this thread btw. All I have to say is......Pat Dean just beat and out-pitched King Felix, and Mauer homered. I gotta go to bed.

    http://www.chicagotribune.com/tca-jose-bautista-gets-punched-in-fa-20160516-premiumvideo.html If he doesn't put his arm up it hits him in the ribs. Unless you have some video of Bush claiming to throwing at his head I don't see how you can say that. Edit: This video was much harder to find than I would have expected

    He also played in CF on Sunday

    And he's a very competitive athlete who has been documented to work hard at his craft. I'm sure there was a good deal of pressure on him, but at the end of the day he knows what he needs to do to be in the major leagues. I would assume right now he is a lot more upset with himself for not stepping up when he was given a chance rather than be upset with management after making the move.
  21. SwainZag
    Completely agreed, but as of right now, it looks like it was a pretty good decision.
  22. SwainZag
    The problem was that Duffy was lit up in spring training. You can look to last year all you want, but he was missing something this Spring and you cannot just ignore that. Milone on the 1 year deal is a lot easier to waive and hopefully have someone claim rather than Ricky and his multi years left on his deal. As Twins fans we should be rooting for Ricky to string together some good starts and hopefully bump up his trade value to someone needy come July.
  23. SwainZag
    I think it's a highly unlikely that Gibson is traded or put in the pen. 4 starts is too small of a sample size to do anything to a guy who has improved over the past 2 years.
  24. SwainZag
    Esco and Murphy are a combined 0-6 with 14 men left on base. The rest of the team is 5-12 with 6 walks and 4 men left on base.
  25. SwainZag
    Christ, Escobar. That was awful.
