    I really liked your writing style. Great article.
  2. The Mad King
    Where does Severino play in St Paul?
  3. The Mad King
    I liked the way you laid that out. Throw SWR into the mix too
  4. The Mad King
    After last seasons injury I've kind of assumed he's done. I hope I'm wrong.
  5. The Mad King
    Yeah he's not coming up to be a backup anything. If they don't have a place for him they'll end up having to trade him or someone else for pitching. He won't be riding the bench

    Camargo - what are the chances of getting through the season with just two catchers again?
  7. The Mad King
    Are all games available on the MLB app?

    Joe's downturn in both seasons came after trips to the Bay area. Just throwing it out there....

    I just want to see him stay healthy for the year, the numbers will fall in line

    Nice theory they have (see Earl Weaver - pitching, defense, and 3 run homers) but they have to remember Mad Kings Rule #1. Or maybe Rule #76, I don't know - past performance does not guarantee future results.

    For reasons too lengthy to get in to, I had to watch a great deal of Twins games this year with the opposition broadcast. Let me tell you there are some BAD broadcast teams out there. I'm going to miss Mr Bremer.
  12. The Mad King
    Staying healthy is still my number one concern.

    I don't know how they factor defensive metrics, but I can't look at errors and think it's the end all of stats. Let's say I'm playing SS. I'm 62 and not very quick. I might never make an error unless they hit the ball right at me because I have no range. CC on the other hand, is going to dive for balls I have no business getting to, but he's going to make a few errors because he's getting to stuff most of us can't get to. Plus, there's fielding errors, throwing errors, and mental errors. Maybe they need to split those up in the stats. In short, CC has better defense than me, despite my idiot little league coach who put me there.

    Thanks for these updates

    Nice take, Ted
  16. The Mad King
    I'm getting some thumbs down on another thread about it, but I think this was his career year.
  17. The Mad King
    This is going to go over like an iron dirigible...
  18. The Mad King
    My approach would be build a roster as if BB does not exist. Anything you get out of him is a bonus. And I'm not ready to bank on Royce until he can stay healthy for a full season. I wish this more than anything ...
  19. The Mad King
    I'd pass on Castro for 3.6 - I'd rather have Gordon at 1. I'd take Alcala at 1. I really don't expect to see him hit 100mph again but 1 million is chump change in today's baseball. Everything else I'd agree with Ted on. Didn't they send the AAA catcher to AFL? I'd wait to see how he does before deciding on Vasquez. Vasquez's experience may be more valuable than numbers reflect, but if the kid has a breakout like Lewis and Julian have in AFL ...
  20. The Mad King
    Going into the season I was not happy with the decision. Ending the season - yes the pitching staff done well. Now let's see if his results are repeatable.
  21. The Mad King
    Replacing Sonny is not going to be an easy task. Pablos contact didn't exactly break the bank, maybe they can do something similar? A bounce back by Miranda (at first) would be a great stroke of luck. Castro & Taylor both over produced. I'd bring Taylor back. Can Lewis stay healthy for a full season? Bullpen help. I'd love to be optimistic but that's a lot of ifs for the off-season and I haven't even mentioned the bullpen. Until now. *Oops. I already mentioned the bullpen
  22. The Mad King
    I just hope he can stay healthy
  23. The Mad King
    Obviously when your say "best lineup" you mean batting-wise. His defense warrants him being part of the best lineup but, yes, he needs to be moved down. If he turns it around and produces from the bottom of the order, all the better. That's how good teams win. I'm all for seeing Walner and Lewis moved up. I'm also all for letting Walner & Julian hit against lefties. How do you learn if you don't get the chance?
  24. The Mad King
    Julien, Chris Williams, my dog... All better options at this point
  25. The Mad King
    Sound logic. And he stays healthy...
