    I only dislike the trade for Miller. Even if Miller would have been this year's Cy Young winner, I wouldn't have liked the trade. Pitching is just soooo fickle. Pollock looked great in the game in LA last night. Miller horrible. Batting practice. Could have been watching Twins' pitching! If the players perform, all GMs look great. Watching the Dodgers rearrange pieces all year and win..... that is a special front office team. I say grab the Anthro guy and win some games again.

    Kershaw is always at peak trade value. Should he be traded. How about Trout? Altuve? Votto. Etc. I get the idea, just not the results. Twins luck may change with Ryan gone.

    Or Kirby Puckett until he is done. One or two teammates. Not utilizing prospects to trade at the peak of their hope and dreams value is how you get nothing for what are already redundancies like an Arcia ... or perhaps Buxton before it is over. Danny Santana and Vargas had value once. What a fail signing old man Trumbo was. It is always a good mix that become winners.
  4. h2oface
    Pretty well. They are not part of the problem.

    The fad is trade your best players for hope. Hope has never won a world series. Ever. I expected Santana to regress without his juice. And a partially torn UCL to finally go. But no. I don't trade Santana..... or the "replaceable" 30+ homers of a matured Dozier. For what. More hope and dreams? 30 dingers is sooooo replaceable, eh? Happens all the time in a Twins' uniform? How has that been working for this team? All these prospects that pan out? Jump on the advanced stat trade em if you got em bandwagon if you like. I personally like a couple long term familiar family players like Dozier in the midst of hope that only disappoints. May is another mediocre starter that even if he starts, will be a waste of innings. Trade some of the hope for actual producing players. Enough of these posing prospects.

    Mujica with 2 walks in 1 inning. Better demote him to AA, eh? Is Vargas just not interested when in the minors now?
  7. h2oface
    .......most of the time. He arguably has the two top bloopers of the year, though.
  8. h2oface
    It's hard not to be a homer when dealing with your favorite team and considering politicking for access is involved. How has Mauer significantly exceeded your projections? Suzuki and Dozier started slow, but the two vets are about all that has. Better luck next year. Always fun to do.

    Nunez traded for a pitcher that is supposedly MLB ready, but needs to be shut down in a month and miss a September tryout even? I must have slept through the reason. Damn.
  10. h2oface
    Just to be the baseball player he expects himself to be. Man up. Not boy up. Time to mature. Please don't make this about me, the poster. Just an opinion. I think Mickey Mantles dad told his son the same thing when the going got tough, or at least that is how the story goes.

    I am sorry. That is not how I meant that. This is like taking a political sound bite of a portion of the discussion/comment. I will not take the bait,
  12. h2oface
    So sorry. I wasn't on the page of the most recent posts when I posted the comment. Previous comments had referred to "I would say one "can't miss" or established player" and "a can't miss ace from AAA...." (I believe that should qualify as one) and "Top 15 pitching prospect on an org list isn't necessarily cannot miss...." and "I also think if Dozier is traded we get back a pitcher who is one or two on the depth chart plus a catcher who is can't miss....." I guess it was a worthless and paraphrased take that was unnecessary. Please disregard.

    Yup. At 61, and a fan since 6 years old when they arrived in the Twin cities, I kept tablets of hand made score sheets and used non calculator math to calculate new batting averages after every at bat. I have earned my disappointment for years before you were perhaps born. When 70% failure is considered great, disappointment is part of the deal, whether one admits it or is in denial. I don't expect every prospect to be great, but I do expect THE Prospect, the anointed one, to be great,and to do it immediately if not sooner! I stick by my statement regardless of attempts to shame my disappointing disappointment.
  14. h2oface
    Patience is overrated. Time for Buxton to man up and smarten up. It is getting embarrassing.
  15. h2oface
    Can't miss ace pitching prospects? Can't miss? I wish there was such a thing.
  16. h2oface
    The pitching, that's who.
  17. h2oface
    Crunch all the stats you like. I would like to amend my evaluation of the trade from "a big so what" to "a massive so what". Hindsight rules! This Santiago is the pitcher the Angels would take Nolasco for.
  18. h2oface
    Plouffe trying real hard to make this game memorable.

    This was a reference to his kate hudson reported paintings above his bed... as a centaur. Nevermind. http://deadspin.com/5394232/a-rod-news-from-the-you-cant-make-this-stuff-up-department

    Only if he rides in on a unicorn in while wearing a Speedo.
  21. h2oface
    If we can see this, why can't Molitor?
  22. h2oface
    How are you feeling now?
  23. h2oface
    Time for an update, but yeah, that's the guy.
  24. h2oface
    How about now, then?
  25. h2oface
    I totally agree. An outfield of Rosario, Buxton, Kepler would have erased a bunch of runs on the two flys that Grossman let fall for doubles. Just not enough range. Berrios sure could have used better d behind him, including Escobar's limited range that turned an out into a RBI single and Centeno launching a rocket into left field.
