  1. With Tampa Bay 2024 his bat awakened a bit but his glove took a big dip. He was up to then a home run hitter about like Vazquez but that too fell off.
  2. Julien had a good year because Farmer could come in and play Second when the game was on the line, saving Juliens Iron glove butt.
  3. By dividing home runs into games pitched percentage: Blyleven - 8.6 Lopez - 11.9 Ryan - 15.7
  4. Gallo defense: Wallner's defense: Wallner will never be as good as Gallo.
  5. Sadly the Twins have become like the Viking, except they cannot bring a seasoned veteran to at least give them one good year.
  6. For Griffith Baseball was his life and Only income.
  7. Bert Blyleven did not pitch with this team behind him your analogy is poppycock. His being in the hall of fame has bollocks to do with Ryan giving up home runs. Bert gave up 90 home runs in his first five years, whereas, Ryan has give up 101 . LOL, Bert pitched 27 games in his first year; Ryan pitched 5 gaves in his first year and still gave up 11 more home runs in the same amount of time.
  8. Ryan is a Blyleven homer happy pitcher without the offense to back him up, Pablo is a much better bet.
  9. The ghost of Tavaris Jackson....
  10. It is amazing here when players annointed by opinion on TD, end up having a hard time even being average, it is ALWAYS some one elses fault. Natural born talent or a LACK of it , at Major League level, must be an imaginary thing.
  11. Texas league hits are what the Twins need a LOT more of.
  12. He reminds me of Bobby Douglas, bullet passes that are hard to catch. If he run as hard as Douglas did, just short of 1,000 yards in a 14 game season, he can make-up for his passing skills.
  13. Time for Wentz.
  14. What will be, will be. Paranoid pessimism is a fools folly.
  15. For the veteran Vikings followers, minus the won-loss record, this season reminds me of the 1971 season.
  16. Twins tradition. Bring in vet on last leg of career - replacing unqualified young players. Lack of talent leads to being "blocked" or - garbage in - garbage out.
  17. A gent with a .957 career fielding average, in AA, you want to play SS in the Majors, oh my!
  18. Yes you did.
  19. Blocking has become a monomania around here.
  20. Keaschal had a good bat for a short time, he is FAR from showing he is going to be a regular; his glove work is, not, major leage level, yet. Hope is he is not another Julien. All the bruhaha for rookies Jenkins, etc. is the same Pie-in-the-Sky fantasies the are numerous in this site. Yes Jenkins might be the next Bobby Witt Jr; or one of them might but I would take 1000 to 1 odds against that. Twins need a full time Short Stop as Lee is NOT good there; move him to Third and hope Lewis is not a beer fart at First IF he is lousy at First, find a proven Veteran to fill the whole again, with Clemens as a back-up. Wallner is a poor Right fielder and his bat is now failing him. Larnach is the better of the two; Martin hopefully he improves, even if he becomes another Rosario, whose bat made the bat happy people happy.
  21. IF that were Went today, the cry here for put McCarthy would be overwhelming, well, McCarthy is in same poo, differnt pile.
