    Chargois had a nice day today. *Ducks*
  2. TheLeviathan
    Losing Polanco does hurt, but I don't think the Indians come anywhere close to 3rd in the AL in offense next year. I also imagine their pitching (while still clearly the best in the AL) won't be quite so dominant. They had the best ERA+ in the last century. Odds are not good for repeating that. I think the depth the Twins have in their lineup and their pitching staff makes up a lot of ground on the high-end pitching of the Indians. But the Twins are a far shakier bet because there are still so many players we're unsure about.
  3. TheLeviathan
    I don't think the margin is that great. The Indians were historically amazing as a pitching staff last year, I'm not sure they can repeat that level of production. And I'm not terribly convinced their offense can muster what it did last year either. (I have similar concerns about the Twins, but I think the margin is closer to 2-3 right now)
  4. TheLeviathan
    I commend you for handling that way less derisively than it deserved.
  5. TheLeviathan
    Boy, that infield looks thin. I hope they're still in the market for someone.
  6. TheLeviathan
    It's hard to imagine winning playoff series after losing to a team that just got whooped by 61 the other day.....
  7. TheLeviathan
    The Indians deserve to be favorites, but the Twins are not far behind. I think the margin here is slim enough that injuries are going to make a huge difference.
  8. TheLeviathan
    Legion returns soon. Jemaine Clement + Aubrey Plaza = entertainment.
  9. TheLeviathan
    I hear he weighs 600 pounds and will be allowed a designated runner as well. As long as we're dabbling in hyperbole.....

    Since there are some people that know Betsy personally or may be more connected, is there more information about the investigation out there? In particular, reports I heard indicated that there was "conflicting" accounts. I know Betsy and Miguel have conflicting accounts, but what of the other 18 people? Maybe there is nothing else to know, but I would be curious to find out if anyone has anything more clued into the investigation. (Plus, I think that we know a lot about one version of the events, but there were a sizable number of questions at the outset about other people from the Twins that may have been present)
  11. TheLeviathan
    I'm happy for the team and for Miguel. I hope for Betsy there is justice in telling her story and having people listen and sympathize with her.
  12. TheLeviathan
    Are there any guys out there that could operate as a corner OF and infield? I guess I'd like another guy around with Sano's lingering issues. Or can Aybar go to AAA as that insurance?
  13. TheLeviathan
    Kepler breaks out: 25 HR and an .800 OPS
  14. TheLeviathan
    I hope Garver gets about 100 starts this year. I'd like to see the kid play a lot.
  15. TheLeviathan
    Hard to put a positive spin on Erick Aybar being made into a necessary bench piece. This just stinks.
  16. TheLeviathan
    I hope someone gives Vargas 500 ABs this year.
  17. TheLeviathan
    Safe to say you have missed the point. Go Sano!
  18. TheLeviathan
    What is disingenuous is believing you know anything about his fitness level. You were among those quick to jump on him based on rumors. Rumors that photographs quickly squashed, yet the crowing about his weight continues.
  19. TheLeviathan
    No, but he can be adequate like last year and thats just fine. Yes it is. Our FO seems to agree since they just gave a 1B/DH a two year deal. Thats rather damning to your implied demise of Sano at 3B. As for your weight questions, I dont have intimate knowledge of Sano's health data to assess what he "should" weigh. Any bold assertions to the contrary require a hefty amount of layman medical hubris. I hope he is healthy and focused on being a force. I hope the organization is holding him to account on that. Im happy to see the organization remaining comitted to him at third. And I hope he kicks some serious butt this year.
  20. TheLeviathan
    Right, you aren't even aware that there were conditioning concerns there. You should go look back at some excerpts of Jack Morris on Barreiro's show. Morris rips Sano, but he also ripped Perkins so I can respect his consistency and fairness. I can't say the same for everyone else ripping Sano. If injuries are your concern, I expect you to start a thread soon about how Buxton can't stay on the field either. For whatever reason, Sano ripping seems to be something of a sport for some fans. I just don't get it. This kid is one of the best talents we've seen in our uniform in decades and it feels like we're trying to run him out of town.
  21. TheLeviathan
    No threads here blasted Glen Perkins like this. Certainly not with the intensity and frequency. Nor did our favorite local Sano basher. (Reusse) And his move from 3B seems entirely driven by speculation of TD posters, so Im not sure what value that really has other than a self-created reason to attack our best player.
  22. TheLeviathan
    We all want this for all of our players, but only Sano gets villified to such a degree. I appreciate those in this thread who point out the three simple facts that matter: Sano is a ferocious power hitter, the team needs his ability, and he has been a capable fielder. Some who want him to be Villain #1 might be wise to remember that.
  23. TheLeviathan
    I preferred Cobb, but I love this move. It was needed.
  24. TheLeviathan
    Give him a 1 year deal for 15M.
  25. TheLeviathan
    Learn how to pitch. Especially with your left hand if possible, I'm sure someone will!
