    Yeah, and then he can come back when Clemens inevitably cools off and he is once again worthy of a DFA.
  2. NYCTK
    Would also be nice because, let's be honest, there's not THAT much to discuss around ONE major league franchise. Anything more than 1 article a day is basically overkill, which is not to begrudge the content but just pointing out that it just results in the same article being written over and over again, and more interesting topics going into less depth than they could.
  3. NYCTK
    Who has claimed that?
  4. NYCTK
    Who the **** is Pete Alonzo? You keep doing this, and I really just don't know what the hell you want. Yes, a major league baseball team will need to hire externally from time to time. No major league roster is filled completely internally. None. Not since 1971 or something like that. You sound like a philosopher, unconcerned with the current situation and more interested in the abstract ideal. No one disagrees that it would be better if a team could develop all-stars at every single position and pay them the league minimum. Lol. You're still on this after we've seen Keirsey exposed? Just admit you were wrong about Bader already. An assertion without evidence.
  5. NYCTK
    No. This is an absolutely ridiculous theory. Looking at the OF because I seem to remember this theory bought into and a lot of people upset, or maybe disappointed when the Twins hired Bader. Keirsey wouldn't magically be a competent player if he received 100 more PAs this season. Likewise, Emmanuel Rodriguez wouldn't be playing incredibly if he were at the majors instead of AAA.
  6. NYCTK
    I think skipping out on the Jrs is fine. I don't know his father, so there's no confusion to be had :-)
  7. NYCTK
    Random waiver claim. Same how Clemens was better than internal options, Twins better 5th OF options are external. But they have to stay on the 26 man so it's never ideal. I agree, it's not worth fretting over cause he's likely not even getting to 100 PAs. But man he's failed to meet even my weakest expectations. Edit: just looked and the only CF on waivers the last three weeks was Michael Helman. So, slim pickings. We'll see if he's claimed by anyone.
  8. NYCTK
    He did that last season too, and its hideous. He looks like a toddler.
  9. NYCTK
    That's a big if. He's 367th in out of 369 players in OBP of all players with at least 50 PAs. You can make the argument that he's the worst Twins hitter of the century. His defense is good, not great. His baserunning is good but not great. He's simply not good enough to justify a major league job even as the occasional 14th man bouncing up and down. Happy for him that he got a cup of coffee and some memories. But also happy for him to go back to AAA to conclude his career. Come on man. He's not long for the league but at least learn how to spell his name, ESPECIALLY if you're gonna point out when someone spells a different player's name incorrectly.

    I'll merely construct a zeppelin umbrella. A grouping of hovering devices that float on top of large stadiums in inclement weather. I'll rent it out across the country. Fool-proof plan.
  11. NYCTK
    And outs to singles.

    How right you are. Zips projections McCusker: 235/292/410 Grichuk: 245/297/407

    Many people from Minnesota don't like Kirby Puckett. I don't like Kirby Puckett. I think he was actually a pretty bad Hall of Fame selection, ignoring his shade post career character issues, needing a lot of bonus points for the World Series to justify his inclusion. With his off the field issues, I have no positive thoughts about the man. I am just young enough that the world series moments are merely highlights. Had those stories broken one year earlier he'd look a lot less like a hall of famer than fellow domestic abuser Andruw Jones who, if he doesn't get in, has his own demons to blame.
  14. NYCTK
    Pete Rose already is a Hall of Famer. With the WWE. This is as relevant to the conversation as Lawrence Taylor or Ray Lewis.
  15. NYCTK
    You accuse everyone else of being self righteous and then write this drivel? My eyes hurt from how hard you made me roll them.
  16. NYCTK
    Nothing will ever erase the mistakes Jackson and Rose made. But we should be beyond that now. He only ever admitted to betting on baseball when he could make money off of it with a book deal. Pete Rose was an absolute scumbag and no one should read that letter and put any weight in it. He lived a liar, and he died a liar. I'm happy, elated even, that he died not getting elected to the Hall of Fame because he didn't deserve that satisfaction. Bad people deserve bad outcomes. Unfortunately we see too little of that in this world but Pete got what he deserved. Further, I think we should be calling Ichiro the Hit King. Pete doesn't deserve that title.
  17. NYCTK
    God damnit, you made the same joke but beat me by a lot.

    The complete permeation of sports betting into everything to do with sports made this ban harder and harder to justify. I find the constant barrage of sports betting odds really sickening and luckily don't have an addictive personality but MLB is all in and is even sending out game odds from their official Twitter account. I think there's a time and place for gambling, and 9 pm from your couch isn't it, and is just one more sign of the decay of this country's moral fabric. This comment brought to you by DraftKings, the official sportsbook of Major League Baseball. I personally don't care about Pete Rose getting unbanned for his sports betting. Now the rape? That's another discussion.
  19. NYCTK
    I have huge criticisms of the Twins organization, but this is just nonsense, completely separated from reality. The man only has 850 PA in all of the minors, less than 250 in AAA and you all are acting like he's been in AAAA purgatory for years. I remember these same hasty calls about Severino, Keirsey, Prato, et al. McCusker will be called up. Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow. But he will get a chance if he earns it, despite the hysterics saying otherwise.
  20. NYCTK
    Still waiting for that DaShawn breakout we've been promised from members here.
  21. NYCTK
    Mickey Gasper almost broke his SS's leg in spring training. He is atrocious in the field, which is why no team will take a chance on his offensive skillset.
  22. NYCTK
    Don't look past some non qualified players like beloved comeback player Javy Baez or sudden star Trent Grisham.
  23. NYCTK
    I think that's fair. I prefer to think of defenders in buckets instead of this desire to quantify it. But like you said, with a flyball heavy pitching staff it was incredibly obvious that a defensive upgrade in the OF would be extremely beneficial. I just hope the Twins fans remember this when Bader returns to being a 650 OPS guy.
  24. NYCTK
    Who's this "we" you're talking about? You got a mouse in your pocket? 😀
  25. NYCTK
    Ask Jax to go out. Didn't see his pitch count.
