    This is zero percent on Molitor.
  2. TheLeviathan
    Yeah, how that show managed to get multiple seasons is one of mankind's great mysteries. It started pretty well, but my god by midseason the first year it was a **** fest of red herrings, stupid writing, stupid characters, and nothing to like. My wife and I bailed on that show and never looked back. And we were all in the first few hours.
  3. TheLeviathan
    I'm glad to hear that, it was a show I've been eyeing.
  4. TheLeviathan
    But you were right about Nishioka! Does that help?

    RIP BYTO.
  7. TheLeviathan
    Suck up.
  8. TheLeviathan
    This is a guy I'll be making a concerted effort to track this year. I hope this investment really pays off.
  9. TheLeviathan
    Well now the only question is can we make this thread beat Dave's fake Dozier predictions.....
  10. TheLeviathan
    Luis Castillo's filter was brilliant. Burl Ives was a favorite of mine as well. But TROLPO? Damn I loved me some TROLPO. The wiki site, short lived as it was, also contained some absolute brilliance.
  11. TheLeviathan
    Scarlet BYTO labels for us all huh? *Eyes suspiciously*
  12. TheLeviathan
    I miss BYTO, there was a little bit more of an "unhinged" element to the conversations and I miss that. Things wheeled a bit more freely and as a result there was some pretty awesome stuff we came up with over the years. We were our own little whacky society of Twins fans with our own language, memes, etc. I miss the hell out of that. That said, I see the vision for Twins Daily and I've come to appreciate it's existence as well. Like Pseudo said, most of us have known each other for a huge portion of our adult lives so the sense of community from BYTO is still here. And the baseball content here is really, really good, so it's been fun to merge those elements.

    Huh, yeah, not sure where I pulled Grossman from. My bad. Park I understand misgivings about, he's 29.
  14. TheLeviathan
    Well, I don't like Grossman much, but if we're going to heap praise on Mauer for his OBP it's worth pointing out that Grossman did provide that skill in droves. Even if he also was a butcher in the field. With Vargas, I see things to like. He's a player who looks willing to learn, adjust his approach, and try to get better. I try not to judge players who aren't given adequate, consistent playing time too harshly. And with young players I'm even more cautious. I know you feel good about Max Kepler (and so do I) but if you started watching Max about halfway through August through the end of the year you'd also wonder why anyone would be high on him. He was brutal in all phases. Those things happen to young players. I'm wiling to judge Vargas can't play or isn't a part of this team's future when I've seen a good, long stretch of playing time. And he's only had one of those two years ago.
  15. TheLeviathan
    He has to have opportunity to do so.
  16. TheLeviathan
    I would argue virtually anyone should've been starting over Plouffe. Yet another victim of that decision. So, yeah, he should have kept playing. And he damn sure should be playing over Adam Lind or the husk of Justin Morneau. The kid has hit in the minors, he's not even a fluke like Dozier. There is a history there of production.
  17. TheLeviathan
    He was on a tear in July and then inexplicably stopped playing with any regularity for all of August.
  18. TheLeviathan
    I'm not sure I care all that much about pedigree. All of your concerns, except for defense, are as much or more so issues with Buxton. I suggest the issue is unfairly holding limited initial results against a player. Especially one given limited consistent playing time. Vargas may well be a non-factor, but like all young hitters I don't measure them by the sum total of their early at bats but by the growth they show.
  19. TheLeviathan
    Quite possible, but his playing time also became inexplicably sporadic.
  20. TheLeviathan
    I get that you don't like Vargas, but this is far from even-handed analysis. Do you treat Buxton's production the same way? I see Vargas having changed his approach significantly last year, I'd love to see what he could do with a full season of ABs. If he can't produce, then we move on, but this team needs to invest in players like Vargas.
  21. TheLeviathan
    As far as I know Legion (and his mother I suppose) are the only characters in the x-universe. Plaza was a brilliant casting choice also.
  22. TheLeviathan
    I wouldn't call him injury prone, but we're close to that. Some bodies absorb impact and avoid injury better than others. So far, his track record isn't very good on that front. It's a major concern i have about him.
  23. TheLeviathan
    Everything non-Punisher and non-Cottomouth stunk about those shows. And that was a sizable portion of both. I'll give it a shot, Marvel has earned that much, but the luster of this group of shows has worn off a bit for me personally. Now....bring Fisk back into a prominent role and you might turn me around 180.
  24. TheLeviathan
    I'm not particularly convinced I'm going to like The Defenders either. I've liked some of the parts building up so far, but Luke Cage and DD Season 2 were both a bit of a let down for me personally. (Well, at least everything in the second half of those seasons.)
  25. TheLeviathan
    Doctor Strange. And pretty much everything Chuck Norris ever did.
