    How would we make the determination of incompetence anyway? Is anything short of netting Darvish incompetent? I think it's pretty clear the Twins are serious in their desire to retain Darvish's services; they may not, however, have the resources--or be willing to assign such a share of their resources--to obtain Darvish's services. But I don't see how anyone can credibly question their competency or their seriousness at this stage.

    Terms are more favorable than first reported. In any case, isn't Rodney still on the mound pitching in game 163? I didn't know he was available.

    Bleh,

    When these moves work out, people freak out about why the Twins don't make these kind of moves. When the Twins make these kind of moves, people freak out about the risk they won't work out.

    But who watches the watchers, er, moderates the mods? Thanks for keeping this place tidy and dolling out only the most deserved infraction points.

    Be specific. Since you're privy enough to judge, what is it they could have done better? This criticism ignores that Ohtani's choice seems to be regional. The whole walk-the-talk criticism is context-deaf, and awfully blowhard.

    Now do we trade the Int'l pool money or sign some former Brave prospects...

    Why would any team acquire Santana while giving up pitching? Santana has more value to the pitching-hungry Twins than other pitching-hungry teams, as the Twins are closer to contention. The teams that are more competitive than the Twins, seek better pitchers than Santana, and would rather give up dollars than player-assets. The only kind of trade I could see working would involve the Twins taking on money, say Santana, etc. for Price or Lester, who have their own warts and far worse contracts.

    The idea of a third catcher is to safeguard against an injury should you pinch hit. You can't throw any position player behind the plate like you can at first base or in the outfield.

    It's also possible that they acquired Jaime Garcia in mind knowing the possibility that they would move him (pay his salary and obtain a better return) was very high. The Twins scuffled at the same time the Indians and the Royals (who faded down the stretch) got very hot. I doubt its a case of the Falvey/Levine changing their minds about the Twins ability to contend, so much as certain contingency came about which they had anticipated and made good on. Swapping Ynoa for Little and Enns, acquired two near ready arms for one not ready anytime soon arm. That outcome wasn't possible without Jaime Garcia and his salary--regardless of the Twins likelihood of contention at the time of either move.

    Why would the Padres sell Lamet one year into his serfdom?

    Just watched that highlight where the camera can't get Gardner into frame on that Joe Mauer liner to left field with two on. Did he really catch it? What was the cameraman's name? The producer's? The ghost of Phil Cuzzi haunts us.

    Very proud of our club. It was too bad not see Sano and Buxton finish this game, but makes me imagine the good things to come.

    It's funny, because I wonder what the hot take on starting Severino is... It's easy to second guess decisions, when the team lacks the assets to make an impervious decision. There's plenty of blame to spread around, but I don't fault Molitor for starting Santana.
  18. PseudoSABR
    So you would have started Berrios?
  19. PseudoSABR
    w00t! Hate that I have to work right up to the game!!

    Really rewarding to see that offensive outburst from our young core, especially at home. I was stuck with the Diamondback's broadcast, and the announcers were really impressed by our young hitters.

    OOTP18 is a great game. Too bad I already own it, otherwise I'd be entering the contest for sure.
  23. PseudoSABR
    Jack Morris literally just realized the Twins were losing.
  24. PseudoSABR
    Why not next year? Advanced college hitters can move quickly through a system, though all don't succeed. This is totally optimistic. I hope he'll be ready shortly after Mauer leaves after 2018 (or Mauer stays at severely reduced salary and role).

    I was thinking maybe they saved on both Lewis and Rooker, and the combined savings were necessary to net Carlson. Is Doogie speculating or sourcing?
