Aaaaaand, the radio crew is again talking about the "slow track."

Last night radio crew kept talking about the "slow track" dirt basepaths too. Didn't really bother me, but I didn't need to hear it like 6 times.

That's fair. I'm a completely different person than I was 20 years ago.

That's disappointing.

She should be, I'm probably much cuter than her. *Edit: Disregard. I just googled her and she is super cute.

Week in Review: From Slumping to Streaking
Joe A. Preusser replied to Nick Nelson's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
What a great week. We only need 2 of 3 to meet my 5-1 road trip prediction, but another sweep seems very possible. Keep it rolling boys, make hay while the sun shines.- 31 replies

You are making a ton of suppositions here. Did he never work on his defense? or did he, and it just wasn't that good? Or was it OK, but he never got to show out? Work on his hitting approach? Did he? Didn't he? Was it coaching? Was it stubbornness? If he got tons of chances to "turn the corner" and didn't, is it completely on him? On his coaches? Both? Neither? You say it isn't an argument about humans vs robots, but you're still treating him like a fixed entity, that based on his "potential" should have succeeded if only he'd TRY hard enough. You assume his failure (although he wasn't actually THAT bad for us) was all about effort and never about circumstance or bad luck or any number of other variables. Respectfully, you don't know that at all.

I don't think he was a "throw in" at all. He was part of the trade equation that helped balance the other parts. The Twins looked at the whole equation and decided it balanced well enough to make the trade. Then, they hoped that piece (Descelafani) could contribute at the back end of the rotation. In that hope, they were unfortunately disappointed. This isn't rocket science, it's negotiation 101. Anyone claiming ulterior or ancillary motives are just confirming their own biases. For multiple reasons, I am happy with the trade return. Polanco's bat should be just fine, but it was entirely reasonable to move on.

Come on man, we're all flawed humans. Just what are you expecting from him or or anyone? Cause if it's perfection or even excellence you're just setting yourself up for a whole bunch of disappointment. My life had been littered with unrealized potential, along with some realized. The misses won't define me, and shouldn't for Sano just because he happens to be à public figure with heightened expectations. He doesn't owe you or the Twins anything. These are real people, not commodities.
