  1. Seriously? Keep your politics to yourself. Not here.Site rules, and all. There are places for it, even on this site. This isn't one of them.
  2. No. This is just fine. This is your Minnesota Twins. All future, no now. Turley should get 5 more starts. I am not going to get into a previous off season here.
  3. It is even more demoralizing that the offense has mustered one hit, and seems to have given up, too.
  4. I would have made moves that gave this team more pitching. It really isn't a question of best decision for the day. And not career minor leaguers that can do well in AAA.
  5. It is like they just decide to throw away some of these games. Like they don't even care. Turley. What a joke.
  6. Big deal. Good for Rooker. Get him signed and see what he can do. All minor league players should be paid more, anyway. Spend the money. Win some baseball games.
  7. Definitely! Play them while they are hot, and don't wait. It won't last that long, probably, anyway.
  8. I have moved on to Berrios, on the inconsistency of Santana's last three starts, of which 2 (one I witnessed in LA on Pujols' historic night) were horrible, and very bad. Since May 7th, his starts were horrible, great, bad, great, very good, horrible, great, very bad. Granted, he had a remarkable first month of the season. But Santana does not have the movement on the ball that Berrios has. I think Berrios is our best pitcher, regardless of his short career, and inconsistency. But neither are aces, in my book. Berrios has a chance to be an MLB ace, and not just the teams best pitcher, with time. Santana's career totals (which include 2007/9/12), steroid use, & lack of "electric stuff", will never let him be in my mind. Plus, I was not impressed with him cowardly throwing at Zunino the other day the first pitch after Zunino's 3 run homer on a pitch he offered that was right down the middle. The response was way above the waist, and way too near the head, and I am not a fan a pitcher ever throwing at a batter, anyway.
  9. Hey..... six runs to give up is nothing for this bullpen. They can take care of that in a couple innings. Maybe even one. He he's not in the clubhouse yet!
  10. Smart of him to spend the time in college. I hope he finishes in the future. We need smart baseball players.
  11. #37. What ? A pitcher, eh? The 17th most wanted pitcher? Ontario High School. Who knows, eh? So much for the big boom. Oh well. I hope we don't get another opportunity for the 1-1 pick in my lifetime.
  12. No pitcher at #35, with 16 already gone. We need another outfielder.
  13. I am just upset because of what I thought. Sure, I read and watched, and even watched Greene in person because I was very close (8 miles) and could, and this team needs pitching and an ace! .... not another guy that maybe won't stick at a position. I generally dislike High School players in the upper rounds. I just will not put scouts on a pedestal, and feel a lot of people could do the job if given the chance.
  14. Nothing happens.......... until it does. Nobody came back from a 0-3 deficit in the World Series.... forever...... until they did. There was never a draft with these unique opportunities before. It is good fodder for the talking heads, though. They need a lot of time to fill.
  15. Well, among other things, I live out here and went to 3 games at Notre Dame High School. It was a radar gun zoo. The parents of the other teammates hated it as the hoards got there early and took all the seats, and the parents and family and students, etc, got the shaft. They were happy he was shut down. It is a good plan to let the important development be done at a much more advanced watch, don't you think? No one knows the future, agreed, but we all have opinions, and isn't that what the comment section is for? And as for the many years' scouts, they all missed Trout, and many many others. They just get paid to watch. I have never been to impressed in general.
  16. Meanwhile, at Target field.................. the Giant's cast off has imploded again, and our former first rounder is no relief and gives up the next two inherited runs for a 9-2 deficit after 4. Pitching pitching pitching. 12 pitchers gone through 26 picks.
  17. Again, as it was posted earlier, it is reported that was a mistake, and what surprised McKay. Tampa was wanting McKay to be announced as a two way player. He was rightfully annoyed and surprised.
  18. The pitcher with the highest ceiling wasn't even the second choice of this Front Office. Telling.
  19. No. That is what you said, and quite well. I say what I want to say. I really don't know what your point is in engaging me now. I have the right to my opinion, as do you, your's. I have nothing for you further here.
  20. OK. Whatever. The Reds suck at picking, too, if you like. Still livid. They didn't pass on Greene when they had the opportunity, though.
  21. Falvey apparently just doesn't like to use the number one pick for the number one pick. Not in rule 5, and not here. How many times do you get that pick? Hopefully never, because you are winning. But when you do............ still livid in SoCal. The Reds didn't miss it. They know a 1-1 when they see it.
  22. Seems there was some confusion, and Tampa wanted him announced as a two way player. McKay was noticeably surprized.
  23. Good for McKay. Entitled is the system. The individual, no matter when, has the right to take control of ones career. This is a lot of supposition here.
  24. I love it that sooooooo many were wrong, but sorry for those still holding on to the story it was a good trade at the time. Go Hicks. Wish you were here!
