  1. I am not a big Arcia fan and believe he should rarely see the field but in this lost season he needs to get some regular dh at bats.
  2. Generally considered by whom?
  3. Thank you. The Sox looked quite comfortable in the box despite the velocity.
  4. No need to see Arcia in the outfield. He won't be a regular outfielder on a good team but I am fine with giving him some regular at bats in the dh spot. Don't look now but your SS of the future might be Vielma.
  5. I would keep him as I would be trading both Plouffe and Dozier. He would be great insurance in case Polanco didn't work out.
  6. It's baseball, it happens. Many times guys don't blossom until several years after they run out of options with their first team. You can't hang onto them for years of mediocrity hoping they will figure it out at 29.
  7. Agree that he should be stretched out and starting. They have to find 5 starters or their future is not good despite the young talent.
  8. Park is not a major league hitter right now. He runs into a cookie once in a while but really never even puts the ball in play.
  9. Park needs to go to Rochester and Arcia to dh. Do this for a month and see what they both do.
  10. When do the statute of limitations run out on the Ortiz situation? I'm guessing there was a bad decision made about Walter Johnson if we go back far enough.
  11. He did it on his own. The manager didn't call for it.
  12. Alex Meyers problem is the way he has pitched, not the way he has been handled. If he is hurt or ineffective that is not on the Twins.
  13. I love this. It was a complete bone head play by Nunez and somehow this is Mollies fault. Sometimes players screw up and it is completely their fault.
  14. Dan gladden pinch running for the rays
  15. I sure hope mollie didn't call that bunt. Why the heck didn't they let Buxton run
  16. It's the minor league DL. Who cares how long they took - they've been treating his shoulder the entire time.
  17. I posed the question because there is no way, given the circumstances, would I pay Trevor $10 million or more next year. I'm not sure how many teams would which really complicates trading him.
  18. Sure liking how the outfield looks when these two guys are out there. I really hope they show enough not to go back to Rochester as that would really force some change. D. Santana, Sano, Arcia and Park could all be affected. I would option Park today and give Arcia a run at DH. When Sano comes back he rotates from 3rd to 1st and DH until Plouffe gets moved. At that point park and Arcia battle it out for DH.
  19. His pitch recognition seems better. He's laid off some breaking balls outside the zone but is aggressive on pitches he can handle. You can see he has some pop in his bat - his hits aren't cheap.
  20. Not going to get excited but his pitch recognition appears to be better.
  21. Plouffe with a bone head running play. He's been in the big leagues for years and he makes that play. They are down 7-3 need a huge inning and he tries to take the extra base as one of the slowest guys on the team. I'm done with the so called veterans on this team.
  22. I think the Twins true identity came from TK. He was the guy that committed to defense, pitching and making contact. I haven't seen that commitment since. If the Royals copied anything it was TK.
  23. Don't look now but Ricky is your best Twins starter in this disaster of 2016.
  24. Yea well the last three Twins hitters have taken first pitch fastballs right down the middle then chased breaking balls. Does anybody watch the game?
  25. Ok gripe number two. Mollie plays the infield in when the Catcher was at first. Easy double play candidate at regular depth.
