  1. Relief pitchers are failed starters. As of yet, he is not a failed starter.
  2. The legit ceiling for him is competence. Catch balls he can get to and hit the cutoff man. He isn't ever going to have good range (but he can minimize his missteps) and his arm will never rate better than acceptable (again, minimal mistakes on throws can mitigate a weak arm). I can handle that if he's hitting a bit. He doesn't have Wallner's physical gifts. He also doesn't have Wallner's head.
  3. In re Wallner: Just because you were willing to date Raquel Welsh did nothing to increase those odds. Wallner gets released. That is his end. A trade is just as likely as that date at the Copacabana with Ms. Welsh because you are willing!
  4. We're almost to the point where I'll take a belly itcher if he can stay off the DL! Almost...
  5. Nolan Ryan. But yeah, short list. Intriguing, but short.
  6. One was an all-star game shortstop. Only once, but... a little bit of a difference from a guy who can't start on a poor to middling team. I can't see anyone offering much of anything for Clemens. Not enough positive history. That said, somebody overpays at the deadline for anybody. May be Clemens this year. Doubtful, but possible.
  7. I troll the Brewers site on occasion, and this story literally started on a "Who would you like the Brewers to get?" page. Not even a bloggers idea, but a Wisconsin fan's fever dream.
  8. Ready, or not, he's back. Outman dfa'ed. (Please hold your applause until he is out of earshot)
  9. I'd just add that he should be getting his time with the same SS - whoever that may be. The combination is second only to pitchers and catchers in the meshing needed to improve. Keystone Combo, and whatnot.
  10. Just need another BP arm to cover for "starter" who will be even less likely to provide any length. Poor 5th starters almost cost one reliever to cover them. Add a full reliever needed to piggyback an even worse guy. And now you're looking at almost 2 full BP spots because you have NO length for a third of your rotation. Have one of your 4 "front of the rotation" guys go 3+ and you need to look for "arm fatigue" or other nebulous "injury" to reset your bullpen and roster. Unless you want more roster moves based solely on available options, just forget this roster destroying "idea".
  11. Toronto originally got him from the Mets. Hope he gets straightened out and does well. Easy guy to root for.
  12. A 90 mph fastball is detrimental to your arm's health. "A highly unnatural act" as described by Sandy Kofax. He never said what his curve was...

    Love The Wrench, but sorry to see the nom de plum retired. [And, we're all gluttons for punishment or we wouldn't be Twins fans]
