    Who says he is overriding the doctors - thats not what I said. If I were to guess the doctors report came back as such - he is physically able to play now - he would benefit from some additional rest - there is minimal additional damage that can be done in the near term but he has a high probability of ending up back on the IL if he were to come back early. Buxton wanted to come back early to play at the field of dreams game and be a competitor. I am sure Tom, Zoll, Buck and the doctors all had input. Tom has clearly shown he is a novice at his job. Thats why I said losing Falvey at the time was such a big deal. You had no qualified individual leading the ship. I will agree with you that Zoll can execute transactions but in my opinion is not qualified for the job. Thats where Tom's ego came into play. Now the Team for the most part has made him look good.

    If you don't think Tom is having some input I don't know what to say. Buxton is a competitor, but at the same point he has made poor decisions in trying to make this season and I'm going to use this term loosely - a "competitive" team. You have had a lot break right and we are still a sub .500 team. Pohlad is the one making the decisions, Zoll is just executing per his owners wishes. Tom is being much more activiely involved which is poor managerial set up. You have someone with minimal baseball knowledge pulling the strings. Its part of the reason why Falvey left.

    Prather is up now. A was stacked at catching.

    Jeffers at 2 for $20 million? Haha, yeah thats not happening. 3 for $60 million will be the base rate.

    That was a bad series - a sweep puts us back right before the Atlanta Sweep. Record 63-68 Playoff odds - 20.4% Lottery odds #1 pick 1.29% Top 6 12.9%

    It makes investing at the deadline look a little more prudent.
  7. Hawkeye Bean Counter
    I’d add Jack Anderson as one of your last 2 spots.

    I’m about as optimistic of a fan as they come. I said this team would be .500- we were bound to have some hitters outperform, I thought Bradley could do well and I said the bullpen would do better than expected. This year in the AL has no elite teams. So yes a chip and a chair and see if you can get hot.

    Minter isn’t flashy but gets the job done. I would love to sign him to a 1 or 2 year contract.
  10. Hawkeye Bean Counter
    Wowzers you found 2 years where they still wouldn’t have a playoff spot secured. I like this team and they have potential, but they’re still a sub .500 team in late August.
  11. Hawkeye Bean Counter
    He is signed as well as all the other picks. Hopefully things have been going well with all the pitchers after the draft and they will be ready to go next season.
  12. Hawkeye Bean Counter
    Similar to Houston there is an adjustment period - there is also an aspect in A ball they are seeing pitchers of less quality than they saw in college. They should both be in high A shortly and then I think we will get a better idea of where they are at.
  13. Hawkeye Bean Counter
    There is only 1 bat that I would consider as a DH bat and its Arraez which he won't do.
  14. Hawkeye Bean Counter
    This team has fought all year long. But in any prior year this team would not be in the hunt for the playoffs which is the intrigue of this year.
  15. Hawkeye Bean Counter
    Taj Bradley with a strong day, Culpepper and Clemens came through with the bats and the bullpen and Gomez closed out the sweep. Twins hold the final spot in the playoffs Record - 63-65 Playoff Percentages 39.2% (5 teams in the AL less than 2 wins behind) Lottery odds - will take a break on this as we are currently in playoffs and would not be eligible for lottery. Edit - The Alex Jackson recall win streak continues

    The answer to your question
  17. Hawkeye Bean Counter
    I don’t have Netflix so a game I would have loved to watch I couldn’t.
  18. Hawkeye Bean Counter
    Hoffman has some control questions but he has the most swing and miss stuff in the bullpen.
  19. Hawkeye Bean Counter
    Well I do my best, this part of the year I struggle a bit more as we have lots of activities.
  20. Hawkeye Bean Counter
    Won the series against the Braves now going for the sweep. Solid starting pitching - Bell with the homer, Jeffers with 2 run double and the bullpen and Gomez closed it out. Playoff odds on espn back up to 30%
  21. Hawkeye Bean Counter
    Amick was called up to the Mets AAA. Still striking out at about a 40% clip but hitting the cover off the ball in his other at bats. 7 home runs and nearly a 1.200 OPS. Still seems to be a small sample size and plenty of swing and miss, but potentially a 3rd/1st baseman with legitimate power. 30 home runs on the year.

    After thinking about this some more, I think Alex Jackson cursed the team when he’s DFA’d and reversed it when he was called back up, LOL. I am really starting to wish we had another year of control on Minter. He has been solid since coming over. I just hope Amick doesn’t make us regret that trade for a rental. Gomez just keeps knocking down saves. That and Bell continues to rake at the end of the season. I will have to update the playoff chances in my post trade thread but I was getting close to giving up on the team. One last point, Culpepper seems to be hitting his stride. Let’s get the sweep!

    I think @HarmonK03 should change his name to -thumbs down guy 2. No offense to @Thumbs Down Guy
  25. Hawkeye Bean Counter
    I am sure there are some other teams that have noticed the value received in trades and how quickly the bullpen was rebuilt primarily through minor trades (1 medium one) and working through dfa candidates and converted starters. Even with early season woes this may end up a top 20 bullpen on overall stats and potentially a top 10 in overall effectiveness by the end of the year.
