    I would say after the coach has had 3-4 years. I think their start has earned them the ability to take credit for moral victories. I hope they also regret leaving a chance to win on the field. If they go 3-3 over the next 6 games they will have improved. And I see a much better product on the field each week compared to last year. Personally, I don't like Fleck's schtick, but things do seem on the uptick. And when they are, I can recognize moral victories. I think you're being far too harsh.
  2. TheLeviathan
    When you are transparently building from the ground up.....moral victories are just fine. The key is learning from them.
  3. TheLeviathan
    Same for me, but it is on FS1 if you have access to that.
  4. TheLeviathan
    You're taking a top 8-10 hitter in the middle infield to downgrade him to league average....and have him play a position he hasn't played defensively. I don't see the upside Mike. In general, I can't ever see a scenario where I'm moving a middle infielder to a corner unless the guy is 40 and can still hit like a machine.
  5. TheLeviathan
    I'm not sure he'll be an equal defensively and he's not a better hitter than Rosario. Plus...now you have two infield spots open. And those are harder to fill.
  6. TheLeviathan
    And they're likely to lose Corbin this year as well. I see them dumping Grienke and trading Goldschmidt as a full rebuild signal.
  7. TheLeviathan
    I agree, though I don't think you could do that with Goldschmidt. But maybe Jake Lamb?
  8. TheLeviathan
    I guess it depends on what they end up doing overall. But yeah, I don't think it will take much to add him.
  9. TheLeviathan
    Moving Polanco's bat to the corner OF reduces a lot of my interest in keeping him. I don't see how the Twins get better in that scenario.
  10. TheLeviathan
    If you're looking for a contract you can take on cheaply....Zach Grienke continues to be number one on my list. And now it's being reported in AZ that they are likely looking to dump that salary.
  11. TheLeviathan
    Rocco Baldelli? There's a blast from the past. I seem to remember loving him on old baseball video games.
  12. TheLeviathan
    Is the 33.5M including Logan Morrison?
  13. TheLeviathan
    I would target Iglesias or Galvis. The other option is to explore trades. Im just not sure what's out there.
  14. TheLeviathan
    Polanco's OPS and wRC+ would still be top 10 as a second basemen. You lose a little bit there, but gain a lot defensively. Basically, he's a premium hitter whether he plays 2B or SS, so better that he plays the position where he can be a plus defensively rather than a minus.
  15. TheLeviathan
    Garver and Austidillo's flexibility might mean three catchers. Gardy would be proud.

    We're all secretly blaming our wives here because doing so with anonymity on a sports page is our only outlet. (In case my wife reads this.....I love you hunny. You're the best. I was obviously joking about ever being right)
  17. TheLeviathan
    Well, he was with a key troublemaker in his entourage. Once you add your wife it's nothing but shenanigans of the highest order.
  18. TheLeviathan
    That's fair, there absolutely could be more to it. I leave the door open to be highly critical of Sano should more come to light. As sketchy as all those details are, he was with his wife, in the DR (where having an unlicensed vehicle or being out at 3am or any number of things could be MUCH different than our assumptions), and the police released him without charges.
  19. TheLeviathan
    Sure, which is why it was wise to wait and see. It could have been a major indictment of him. Or it could be an accident. I think it's telling how many people rushed to think the worst when all they had to do was wait about 10 hours to get the full story. In the meantime he was suggested to have bribed the police, willfully ran over the cop (because how could anyone do this accidentally with a backup camera!), was out at 3 am with his entourage, etc. Sounds like he drove the cop to the hospital, paid all his bills, and tried to do his best to make amends. What a monster!
  20. TheLeviathan
    Yup, looked at McFarland wrong. Tommy Hunter, Brandon Morrow, Juan Nicasio, Pat Neshek, and even our own Addison Reed are closer to that 3/27. I would say Miller and Allen are both superior players in the eyes of GMs. I'm guessing they are both much closer to what Wade Davis or Greg Holland made. If I had to guess, Miller probably gets something in the range of 4/50 and Allen maybe a shade under that.
  21. TheLeviathan
    Maybe, but that's what guys like TJ McFarland and Mike Minor got last year. I'm guessing Miller, Allen are 10+ players.
  22. TheLeviathan
    What do people think is "buy low" on Allen exactly?
  23. TheLeviathan
    Certainly, but I think others took your thinking farther in this thread to places far less justified.
  24. TheLeviathan
    I was out until 3am with my future wife in my mid 20s too. Didn't make me as awful a person as some of you jumped to in this thread. Other things might make me awful, but not that in and of itself.
  25. TheLeviathan
    Well there you have it: just a bad look. Glad to see things were resolved responsibly and fairly.
