  1. Seth, was Burdi wild like Ankiel-wild, or just missing? What was his ball-strike ratio, please?
  2. Anyone not make this list?
  3. And, of course, it begs the question of whether the Twins' data can be broken down further between TR's administration and The Bill Smith Era....
  4. I'm a Ryan fan as well, and agree with him about free agency. It's going to be painful for the next couple years, but that is far more a product of the Bill Smith Era (!) than TR's patience. FA spending or the prospect thereof, in fact, was likely a significant factor in Smith getting a Pohlad's shoe up his pants. Smaller market teams build best from drafts and development. Smith managed the Twins' talent very poorly, and that explains why we are where we are today.
  5. Dougie Baseball's aggressiveness doesn't look (to me) any worse than Gardy's, particularly with umpires. They'll ask Gardy to come back for a one-year deal. Question is, will he take it? I think Gardy hasn't any other alternatives if he wants to manage.
  6. Arcia, Buxton and Hicks, LF to RF; Sano, Florimon, Dozier and Colabello around the infield, Mauer behind the plate, Willingham, Pinto, Rosario, Plouffe and Parmalee on the bench. Let's get on with it, although I'd love to see Justin back next year.
  7. Actually, since the ASG the Twins have been playing .500 ball, and it's been the pitching, not hitting (abysmal) that's got them there....
  8. Wot? Beresford dissed completely??
  9. Ahhh, yes, let's repeat the Hicks mistake as soon as possible. The kid's 20. Let him go rip up the IL next spring. It's not as if the Twins will contend in 2014.
  10. With the minor league system in good shape, standing pat doesn't mean the Twins chose poorly.
  11. Nice guy. Deserves to be making his major league debut very soon. While AA's stats suggest a makeup similar to Scott Diamond's, Scott's post-surgery effects may have been underestimated.
  12. Porcelain horse collar for our vaunted system last night. Hmmmmm.
  13. This presumes there are a bunch of GMs as idiotic as Bill Smith was when he traded Ramos for Capps, quality closer extraordinaire....
  14. Morales has a history of very slow starts; hope this recent streak is a harbinger of good things to come.
  15. Perhaps banking on global warming, Selig-style, isn't such a good idea....
