  1. There is no guarantee either will get better, all that is either wishful thinking, or blind faith. With rare exceptions, AAA is not Major League pitching no matter how good one may seem; unless they are facing a major league pitcher sent down for rehab.
  2. I know Pie-in-the-Sky dreamings of rookies is SOOO much more relaxing than reality.
  3. I take it you were not watching the Twins during the seventies. I will admit that frustration started after less than ten years from a World Series appearance but then started with the Twins being swept in the play-offs in 1969-70, AND back then they dominated the Yankees.
  4. Your reasoning the others you listed will do any better? Refsnyder is falling like a rock, I an wondering why they do not play Cave.

    Saddest sports city

    Do not forget the Golden Gophers who have been in Nowheres Ville since 1962, NorthWestern went from the toilet bowl to the best in those years while the Gophers just swirl around.
  6. The Twins should have never let Robbie Grossman go and kept him instead of Cave, or kept both, as the year they were both on the team Cave had more HR pop but Grossman had a better BA.
  7. I have never said boo about his batting average, only about his hitting in that he too often watches a third strike go by and too often looks like a wind-up toy dancing while batting. (To be more severe, he looks like a spoiled brat not getting his way.) It is his POOR fielding that I have "ragged" on all season.? I go by what I see, not some math nerd numbers that so many are infatuated with.
  8. I have read in baseball news high-lights that umpires with supposed game changing obtuse calls is not rare nor aimed at the Twins only.
  9. His defense is at best average and too often worse.
  10. Why, Cave II? Cave is mobile, something most of the rookies are not.
  11. He is a rookie, wait till next year; it could have been much, much worse.
  12. Rondell White earned his keep in the 2006 play off games.
  13. Really now, hmmm: Rdrs/yr SS Simmons 22 Rdrs/yr SS Florimon 7 WOW, they are the same if you are blind in one eye and cannot see out of the other. LOL ?
  14. The dissing of Simmons is here, is based purely on bias -- I don;t like his style, therefore; he is bad -- grade school prejudice. He, in his career, had only one season with a goodly number of home runs and one year with a large number of RBIs, but his career batting average , even with this years slump is still .265, and he hit .281/78/92 in 2016/17/18 so stick your childish hatred for him in your back-pocket and stick to the facts. I personally like his laissez faire attitude even over Astudillo's who looks like he is annoyed with some thing, or Polanco who looks like a deer in the head-lights.
  15. If he had he would be in the Majors; he is not, so he has not.
  16. He is there because the coaches on both sides think he should be.
  17. Bingo, jeffer's is lousy at blocking balls; commentators early in the year said the way he sits is gong to be a problem.
  18. Astudillo is a better catcher than Jeffers and a much better hitter.
  19. Twins wanted to win a game , not have a rookie blown out.
  20. Because his defense is worlds better than anyone else on the team, THAT is why he was hired.?
  21. No Baldelli and Twins win again, hmmmm.
