  1. It was posted on MLBTR? Oh I guess that’s all the proof we need. For the record I like our front office but people just go hyperbolic so often on this subject
  2. The whole Cleveland thing is speculation. We have no idea what his role was. I’m not ripping the guy I’m just saying slow the roll. He acquired Odo which was great but he was hardly some unknown only to be mined by Falvey
  3. I hate the DH. I don’t care about pitchers hitting, hell I just watched Jason Castro flail away for the last three years. I like the strategy that it brings to the game and the position switches
  4. Garver is a good reminder that some prospects don’t make it until later age. His swing is so solid that I expect him to continue having success with the bat
  5. The answer: yesterday. He does not have the skills to be a good MLB shortstop. He could be one of the best second baseman however.
  6. Most of the trades listed and the alternate suggestions were made by Terry Ryan. Pretty impressive list
  7. A different view of this might be the old regime used a method that allowed them to get decent MLB performance out of limited talent.
  8. Tovar for sure. Absolute great player. Tapani is also a good candidate.
  9. Thanks Seth. The mocking of pitch to contact gets old. The philosophy is much better described as get ahead in the count and don’t walk people. I’d say both of those things still apply.
  10. Arreaz has one strength - hitting for average. If that diminishes he will be fighting for the 26th spot on a roster in the future
  11. They should be able to find 5 guys out of all their choices. My biggest concern is they ride the veteran guy even though he is not performing.
  12. I’m afraid that baseball has changed so much that historical comparisons are no longer valid. The juiced ball last year means you can throw all of those stats out the window. Your point is well taken however that the Twins have quite a tandem at the corners
  13. I’ve wanted a right handed hitting back up CF for three years. I think the FO has a bit of a bias towards keeping Cave since they gave up a good prospect for him.
  14. Very interesting article. I wonder if his extreme workout routine is playing into the decrease in velocity. Perhaps he is losing some elasticity in his motion
  15. He could do it but there are a couple of big ifs. First is better command of his pitches and second is having a legit change up
  16. Read my mind. Johan went from good to great once that change up was mastered. Here’s hoping.....
  17. Every year is different. Predicting is a fools errand so people should settle in and watch the games play out
  18. If he can’t stick at SS then he should have been traded. Second baseman are readily available and we have a better player in CF now
  19. I support RBs theory. Get your 13 best pitchers and use them whenever and however you need them to get outs. Maybe that means guys whose job is to piggyback and it likely means almost everyone has the conditioning to go multiple innings.
  20. Any metric that says Cave is an above average outfielder should be disregarded. He is not good in the field and should have been dealt in the off season if you are keeping Marwin
  21. The apology is meaningless. My opinions will be based on his actions not his words.
  22. I’m always leery of pitchers who struggle with command. There are plenty of guys who throw hard but fail in the majors
