    I prefer Sano at DH.

    This game has been absolutely nuts. And either team could still win this one.

    Can we please end this Nolasco experiment? Berrios would be much better at this point. He's tearing up AAA and has nothing left to prove there. We're terrible. Why can't they get him back up here and say goodbye to Nolasco? Forget about how much he's making, focus on the future and play Berrios!!

    The Twins love to smash aces like Price, Hamels, and Sale. Their true weakness is when they face the mediocre pitchers.

    We see the half-season as a starter in 2015. He may have had a 4.37 ERA when he was benched, but his FIP (can't locate the exact stat, but it was somewhere in the 3s) indicated he was better than his ERA and his 71/18 K/BB ratio was fantastic. Not only was he striking out batters, but he finally wasn't walking them anymore. He continued looking good even after he was sent to the bullpen. I don't know what's up with May right now, especially with his lackluster fastball. I'm guessing he's still hurt or something like that, but I don't think this is what May is going to look like for the rest of his career. The Twins need to figure him out before he joins the long list of failed prospects.

    Interesting... I always take a cautious approach to defensive metrics, as some can differ greatly from others. I know Dozier isn't the greatest, but I don't recall him being so terrible. I'd like to see some evidence of that. Also, I find it odd that Escobar is the 5th best defensive SS in the league with all of his errors. I remain very skeptical of these...

    Pedroia had 5 hits?! Dang it, I shouldn't have left him on the bench in fantasy baseball...

    I can't believe I forgot the Grouch himself!

    It definitely makes sense to move Abad now. We already have a lefty who should be good in the long run (Rogers) and that leaves two guys on minor league deals, so trade the one who has more value right now. Then, after Abad goes, call up Chargois.

    Source: http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2016/07/twins-outright-neil-ramirez.html Neil Ramirez has been outrighted. He's been taken off the 40 man roster but apparently already cleared waivers, so the Twins will send him to AAA. To fill his spot, Buddy Boshers will return. I know most people here and I really wanted Chargois to be called up, but Boshers definitely deserved to come back as his numbers this season have been sharp at both the MLB and AAA levels. Hopefully Chargois will be up soon, though. I believe this leaves the Twins with 3 spots open on the 40 man roster. So many open spots... what could they do with them?

    Could you post the link? Thanks.

    WOW! ROSARIO!!!!!!!!!!!!
  14. Danchat
    KEPLER!!!!!!!

    Of course, right when our starting pitching is finally sharp, the bats go cold. That's the story of the Twins 2016 season.
  16. Danchat
    Yep, I think this is exactly it.
  17. Danchat
    For a bench spot? Maybe. I was talking about a spot at SS or 2B where he can get ABs, and neither are open for him.

    We know Molly's job is safe in 2017, so we also know who else's job is safe in 2017... I dunno, I'm more worried about getting Berrios, Chargois, and Polanco up to the majors right now, and since Santana isn't blocking anyone right now, I'm not worried about him.

    I don't even know what a media guide is! Now, time to google it...

    Phil Mackey also tweeted out a bunch of useful info... but I'm not sure how to post tweets here. @PhilMackey (I can't figure this out) I find it interesting that TR was told a month ago that he was a goner. The Pohlads really do see this as Terry's mess and not Molly's fault at all.
  21. Danchat
    Wait, I read the tweet wrong. Forget I said anything.
  22. Danchat
    Well, I'm just as shocked as everyone else is. It's very odd timing, but according to Wolfson's tweet (that was posted a couple pages back on this thread), it seems that there was a rift in philosophy about what to do at the August 1 trade deadline. What does this mean for the next few weeks? Will the Twins stay put and make few/no moves, or was TR trying to hold onto veterans that the Twins need to shed? That's what I want to know. My fingers are crossed, hoping Antony doesn't get fleeced in a trade. Anyways, for the long run, this is the right move all the way. The Pohlads finally realized that the total system failure included the GM.

    Calvin & Hobbes and The Far Side are my favorite two comics. This is coming from a guy who wasn't alive during their runs as a newspaper comic.

    Reminds me of Jordan Schafer... wait a moment, I just saw a tweet... Heh.
  25. Danchat
    Anyone ready to say bye-bye to Ramirez and hello to Chargois? 'Cause I sure am.
