    Absolutely not. Dont care how good Julien is doing at the plate 1. it was the 5th inning and 2. Farmer isnt hitting any better. I would prefer to keep the guy who has 7 HR, in the game until 8th or 9th if they need to pinch hit.

    The wrong Box Score is link for each affiliate.
  3. Paul Walerius
    And he was excellent in the pen.
  4. Paul Walerius
    Gallo walked?
  5. Paul Walerius
    I agree. If that throw was at the base Witt beats it. Not to mention it was right on Witt. Correa just had to catch it and his glove was on him.
  6. Paul Walerius
    I don't believe he has but he is 36 (35 last year after injuries). I am sure there are others that don't throw hard, he is just the first that came to mind. For 6 years he was a top pitcher in the league winning CY once and could have easily one it a second time.
  7. Paul Walerius
    That would be nice however as a FA do they want a short term deal? Bellinger (28) maybe more likely than Montgomery (31) but I don't know.
  8. Paul Walerius
    I don't believe Kuechel had high velocity. If he can get up to 92-94 and have good control those other pitches will help him keep hitters off balance.
  9. Paul Walerius
    I'm all for it if he can perform, but .237 at St Paul doesn't scream that he is ready. That being said guys like Farmer or Santana aren't necessarily locks to make the roster, IMO. They are getting paid a reasonable amount that wouldn't really be tough to DFA if Severino, Miranda, Martin and Lee have a great spring.
  10. Paul Walerius
    I understand what you are saying but when was the last time he was out an extended amount because he slammed into the wall?
  11. Paul Walerius
    Doesn't look hard no, just remember most of the games we lost, when Gray pitched, they didn't score runs or Rocco took him out at 80 pitches because he wasn't sharp (even though he was not giving up runs).
  12. Paul Walerius
    I agree slightly. If he couldn't play the OF he should have been shut down before season started. I don't think he is able to be a DH every day. He took one bad AB into the next. You could argue that it was because of the injury, but that makes my point. If healthy we need him out there in CF at least 60-70% of the time. With Bux and Willi on the base paths, that would be a lot of fun. Coaches need to cut the players loose to steal more bases, especially if there are guys hitting .200. It puts more pressure on defenses, which could create more hits for those guys.
  13. Paul Walerius
    I agree, as a starter Louie wasn't great IMO, wasn't bad either. But in pen he was very good. Lopez, Ryan, Ober and Paddock is a good start for rotation. Go get one more good arm and they are set.
  14. Paul Walerius
    Problem with Dobnak, he was a good story but throws soft and doesn't miss bats
  15. Paul Walerius
    Can they sign Tsyoshi Nishioka too?
  16. Paul Walerius
    Hey Tom, great video. It's nice to have this laid out for us fans. What do you think the chances of Jeffers trade? I am not saying it should or shouldn't happen. That being said here are the moves I would make... Lopez Gray 2 yr 36 mil with 1 yr option. Ryan Paddock Ober (Would love to add Montgomery but won't happen) 1b: Kirilloff/Severino 2b: Julien 3B: Lewis SS: Correa LF: Waller/Castro CF: Buxton/Martin RF:Kepler C: Vasquez/Carimargo
  17. Paul Walerius
    Headrick was a rookie so I will give hime a pass. Going into last year I had the same feelings about Sands but he ended up (after IL stint) with 3.74 ERA. Before the injury I believe it was under 2. Strikeouts could come up /9 a little but fairly good numbers. Winder is the only one I am not high on for now. Seems like he is a long reliever type that will give up a lot of runs (over 4 era)

    Draft picks

    Paul Walerius posted a blog entry in Paul Walerius

    I was curious to see if/how draft picks were improving. Here is the basic stats for just the last 2 drafts as of Aug 26th
  19. Paul Walerius
    I think the problem with his bat is if he is needed for 3-4 ABs in a game. I like him as a pinch hitter/defensive replacement.
  20. Paul Walerius
    If I am a betting man Paddock is not going to be back. they will give him the offseason to make sure he is good. With Kuechel there is 0 point to bring another starter to the pen (Ober/Meada probably end up there as well). Buxton needs to be able to get into the field though, that is a must, otherwise, keep him on IL and bring up Martin.
  21. Paul Walerius
    Everyone knows that if Rocco is gone Pohlads will have gardenhire coach. He coaches his tail off.
  22. Paul Walerius
    Why would you trade one of the only hitters that is performing? Leaving Gallo in there does nothing. Move AK to LF.
  23. Paul Walerius
    Gallo was traded last year, with similar money involved, I believe. I think somebody could be interested at the right price. We aren't going to get a lot unless we eat some of the money. It is a possibility though.
  24. Paul Walerius
    The problem is, Farmer, Solano and Castro. They have all played into the lineup. They need to trade Gallo and Kepler if they are keeping both.
  25. Paul Walerius
    This is exactly the time. It isn't Rocco, who we could discuss deserving firing, but hitting isn't there. They need to do something. Not addressing it will mean 0-22 in POs
