  1. More indications that the new GM needs to be from outside the system. Yuk. Albers. This is comical. The only starting pitcher we have that is worth counting on (and this unfortunately includes Gibson) is a PED graduate. Sad state of affairs.
  2. The game is having a team down 4-0 in the late innings attempt to steal second ....... and with 2 outs! Stop that.
  3. At least Santiago has solved his problem of excessive walks.
  4. It seems like it is better to be new in the organization than to be developed by it. They sure seem to get preferential treatment when it comes to MLB promotion and playing time. Not a judgement, but an observation.
  5. 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.
  6. 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,
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. Patience is overrated. Time for Buxton to man up and smarten up. It is getting embarrassing.
  10. Can't miss ace pitching prospects? Can't miss? I wish there was such a thing.
  11. The pitching, that's who.
  12. 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.
  13. I hope Wimmers to. I always like to see whether a first round pick can get to the show before they are thirty. I have seen enough of O'Rourke.
  14. Plouffe trying real hard to make this game memorable.
  15. 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
  16. Only if he rides in on a unicorn in while wearing a Speedo.
  17. This is malarkey. Nothing like Twins pitching to get a team out of a slump.
  18. Are you stalking me? Hard hit and caught by outfielders can lead to a quality start. Good thing Chargois got another opportunity. Back to the thread topic - How about that Boshers?
  19. Chargois shines in second outing. Could this have been happening for the last month? Probably.
  20. Berrios could have used some defense. Grossman and Escobar's limited range changed the game.
  21. How are you liking Boshers now? I am sticking with my fools gold analogy.
