  1. I don't really understand the metric and definitely don't understand Buxton's number.

  3. I think the Twins should sink or swim with what they have. Any trade, even a successful one, is not going to make the Twins a true world series threat. I would like to see a focus on our younger players rather than retreads or guys who are never going to be everyday players. Let's see what these guys have. Keaschall is an obvious choice to play every day. I hope he is back soon. The twins certainly have a number of players on the 40 man roster who are not worthy.
  4. Clearly fielding has not been a priority! And unless Gaspar is a decent catcher (haven't seen him catch), he has no fielding position. Right now, given the absence of hitting, i would be tempted to call him up to DH 2/3 games a week until we get keaschal and/or Lewis back...or if Gaspar doesn't hit.
  5. My biggest problem with Julien is I don't see a field position for him.
  6. I hate your comments. I don't want to agree with them. You can't make me. Actually, yes you can. Even if the Twins are able to sneak into the playoffs, they won't be going anywhere. Might as well try to improve the team long term vs. this season.
  7. Buxton was not a free agent. And while he is not going to the poor house, he makes much less than Correa.
  8. I agree that it's not all doom and gloom. But it is a bit gloomy. It is hard to be bullish on Lewis who injures himself running to first base. He seemingly has bad wheels and that's a big problem for an athlete.
  9. Wow. I appreciate your commenting on the minor league players as I don't get an opportunity to see them (except in spring training). I did not realize that Miranda had sunk so low. And Julien doesn't seem to be much better.
  10. I just don't see Miranda, and especially Julien, in the picture for the majors. I do feel the Twins should move McCusker to first base this season and perhaps he can help next year.
  11. Sadly, there is trouble in paradise. Amazing how the Twins went from a surplus of starters to needing help. I think it's going to be a struggle until we get some starters back. Ober certainly appears like he is going on the DL. Twins are going to need Ryan, Paddack and Festa to step up to the plate. Beyond those 3...it's pretty troublesome.
  12. Nothing is ever certain when involving humans. That said, Alcala had more than enough chances. Perhaps a change of scenery will do him well. But his time with the Twins needed to end.
  13. I can't say that I prayed for Alcala's departure, but I'm not going to miss him. At all. Despite all the injuries, Buxton's talent is electrifying.
  14. Sorry that it didn't work out with Alcala, but he had plenty of chances. B'Bye!
  15. Better than Julien is damning with feint praise! But his fielding has been good and hopefully his hitting levels out to be a good bench player.
  16. I think Festa should get a pass on his performance in Sacramento. Had to fly to the west coast and pitch right away. I thought they should have pitched him the first game of the homestand. I think he would have been better served and fully rested. Yes, I know that he was scheduled to pitch in St. Paul, so he was rested to pitch, but throw in the travel and the stress of being called up...that was a tough assignment.
  17. I was thinking the same thing about sending Adams back down. Zebby's injury, the Twins need a long reliever more than ever. What the heck about Alcala? Potential? Stop it. We have enough history. Let him go. Maybe another team can untap his "potential".
  18. I think/hope you're going to get your wish with Alcala...except he goes to the DFA Team.
  19. Culpepper is ready for AA. As for not being a legit prospect...nonsense. No one is a guaranteed ML player, but the guy has a real chance.
