    Rosario walked-son!
  2. Willihammer
    And then he registered for Twinsdaily?
  3. Willihammer
    Yes, and I for one haven't seen it before.
  4. Willihammer
    Just walked a career .600 batter to setup the DP...
  5. Willihammer
    Need a K here Gibby
  6. Willihammer
    Gotta be the Perkins injury right?

    I'd almost say those are two examples proving the risk is not so bad if you sign early enough. Tabata's expires after next year and while he's only been worth 1 WAR to date, that's just a $15m gamble. Castro has been paid $17m to put up 3.4 WAR so far. He is owed another 4/40. Had he not signed the extension he would be a FA this winter. What would he have signed for? My guess is someone would have given him a 2 year deal at least. So again, fairly marginal compared to late-signed extensions eg. Andrus. edit: correction, Castro wouldn't be a FA til next winter.

    Yeah, and 4/6 of the fails were pitchers. This is why I would try to get a deal done this winter. For reference, the deal was 8/135, signed after 324 games. Freddie Freeman.
  9. Willihammer
    Ugh, crap. I really hope this doesn't linger.
  10. Willihammer
    Thanks, so there is some risk but more for pitchers probably. Seems like the extensions for position players tend to fall somewhere between "good deal" and "stupidly good deal" with very rare exceptions (Gyorko and... any others?)
  11. Willihammer
    Has there ever been a bad pre-arb extension in the history of these deals?

    Alive Inside is good too, uplifting. Dude brings ipods and headphones to nursing homes. Plays music from the childhoods of people with advanced alzheimers and the light up. Really amazing to see.

    I recently watched Little Hope Was Arson which was fascinating. Man, the south is so different... Print the Legend- low cost 3D printing and its implications for consumers and copyrights, freedoms and responsibilities, etc. really interesting. Elephant in the room was another good one, about the insane number of exotic pets in the country and the stress they put on local authorities. I enjoyed Blackfish too. People have strange ways of relating with animals.

    Are you watching his PAs? Seeing what quality of hits he's getting? I'm not. That's why I look at bb, k, ISO, ISOd because that's the best I can do here in MN. Its possible his .500 BABIP is the product of scorching liners, but not likely. If he were squaring up balls so regularly, he'd probably have more than a handful of XBHs esp. with Buxton's speed.
  15. Willihammer
    If the Twins finish this road trip in a tailspin then I'll join the chorus to see Buxton Polanco and the rest of the kids but for now they are too close to a WC for that IMO.
  16. Willihammer
    Call it a poorly timed slump then. He did not look good and I would rather roll the dice on a guy who has been a 2-5 Win player for his career, even if he is 40, then a rookie whose AAA peripherals are, at best, okay.
  17. Willihammer
    Like I said, not eye popping. Yeah he could come up and succeed like Rosario has. I'd say its more likely he flounders like he did in his first stint. We would be better off with Hunter in that case.
  18. Willihammer
    I would agree if any hits were extra bases. But a .128 ISO combined with .500 BABIP suggests he's getting infield hits or balls are finding holes.
  19. Willihammer
    Well, we'll never know for sure. To me it looks like he's going to first the whole way. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if that little brain fart were the cause of the bobble. Like when you load yourself into your car, pause and subconsciously you know something's not right. And when you start the ignition the car lurches in to the back of the garage because you didn't press the clutch. And when you open the door to examine the damage you see your cup of coffee sitting on the roof of the car. Ah! That was it! We've all done that right?

    http://m.mlb.com/video/topic/6479266/v381289383/minnyy-headley-hits-a-walkoff-groundout-in-10th I know its a moot point by now but does he look like he's going home to you? Slow-mo at 00:45
  21. Willihammer
    I'm also not sure Buxton helps this team. His peripherals in AAA aren't exactly eye popping.
  22. Willihammer
    Twins now 55/91 in SB attempts after going 2/5 today. Is Molitor's stopwatch broken?
  23. Willihammer
    Not enough bat to PH. Not enough glove to defensive sub. Not enough speed to pinch run.
  24. Willihammer
    The YES broadcast showed a slow replay of it and it looked clear that Nunez thought there were 2 outs. The ball was hit right to his glove, he started towards first with his feet in preparation to throw there the whole time. Its almost a shame he bobbled it. Had he not, the Twins would have no choice but to give him the Hicks treatment, right?
