    With no one on base, then really why not? I can't fathom the umpire would be thrilled with no one there to catch balls, but Suzuki playing a little rover out there, I could get on board.
  2. SwainZag
    Cruz also has had trouble his entire career staying healthy. He has played more than 130 games 3 times in his career and turns 35 on July 1. If there was a time to take a chance on Cruz, it was before last season like the O's did. A 4 year, $57M dollar contract to a soon to be 35 year old is not one a team in the position of the Twins should be signin, at least IMO.

    What did he get tossed for?
  4. SwainZag
    But how many of those guys are prototypical leadoff guys? I
  5. SwainZag
    If he projects as a SS and Twins management thinks he is a more valuable asset at SS than in the OF, why would sending to AAA to play SS everyday to hone those skills be a worse option than playing on the MLB roster in CF?

    But why? You could probably say Santana was called prematurely last year. If he continues to struggle mightily at the plate and defense stays shakey for the next 3-4 weeks, what's it going to hurt if he is sent down to right the ship while Escobar took over as the starter? If it was just fielding that concerned people I would agree, but when he looks completely lost with the bat as well....
  7. SwainZag
    Haha...I was leaning more towards, if he keeps hitting AND they believe Pinto can handle catching he becomes a trade asset from a team who loses a catcher. Also....hard to take one of your best performing bats out of the lineup.
  8. SwainZag
    Well their current catcher does lead the team in OPS, is tied for the team lead in HR and is 2nd in slugging and OBP......

    Run differential shouldn't mean much after 12 games. 39% of the runs given up came in the 11-0 loss to DET and the 12-3 loss to KC. That skews things a lot.

    Good to see Torii flash that patented big smile! 6 solid innings from May, hopefully a sign of things to come! 4 K's and more importantly, 0 walks!
  11. SwainZag
    Joesph Patrick Mauer! Just because it's your birthday doesn't mean you get to play lazy defense!
  12. SwainZag
    Gotta give it up to Moss on that play. He played that off the wall perfectly and threw a strike to Kipnis.
  13. SwainZag
    Mmmmmmm Back-to-back swing and a miss strikeouts
  14. SwainZag
    Atta boy Robinson
  15. SwainZag
    May can't keep leaving those fastballs up in the zone like that. Even the pitch he got Santana out on was up.
  16. SwainZag
    Hughes looks like he just woke up from a nap
  17. SwainZag
    In other news....NFL reinstates Peterson, effect Friday.
  18. SwainZag
    Would be nice if Escobar could open it up here and really make that error hurt
  19. SwainZag
    Dang.....I really thought that was in gap. Great play by Cain
  20. SwainZag
    Well Santana should have scored on Mauer's hit in the 1st....so it makes up for it.
  21. SwainZag
    Seriously that was a god damn laser. Kennys mad, Kennys hit ball hard. Where the hell did that s come from in his name?
  22. SwainZag
    Good piece of hitting there by Dozier, though I'm surprised when anything gets through the Kansas City infield.
  23. SwainZag
    In this regard would it have really mattered? You could have still brought up this stat with him having 202 IP and a career season without his last start.
  24. SwainZag
    So better than league average is medicore? Ricky had been a 3 WAR average player for 6 years before coming over the Twins.
  25. SwainZag
    Will bringing him to the majors help his control against better hitters than he has been facing in AAA? Counting today he has walked twice what he has struck out and damn near thrown as many balls as strikes, I don't see how calling him to the majors fixes any of that.
