    Well, just demoted, but let's hope we never have to see him again.
  2. NYCTK
    We'll see how his recovery is, but with Ohtani returning to pitching today I think he's just such a unicorn to choose anyone over him.
  3. NYCTK
    Gotta be McCusker and baseball will work it out and he'll get another chance within a month. Eventually Clemens will get off his heater and a tougher decision will have to be made.
  4. NYCTK
    Calling him one of the worst players this century is fact, not prejudice. Sorry DaShawn Keirsey Sr.
  5. NYCTK
    Your adoration of one of the worst minnesota twins in this century is just baffling man. He can get those ABs in AAA or Korea, for all I care.
  6. NYCTK
    Could be argued! One completely useless with the bat. One fairly useless in the field. I just can't get over the Twins thinking he was still the same defensive player that did excel for a few seasons in Tampa. Just god awful baseball decision. I don't even really blame Margot for his pinch hitting ineptitude. Why Rocco kept trying over and over was just baffling, and part of the reason that I do think he should have been fired as soon as the season was over.
  7. NYCTK
    You somehow believe that Keirsey would be a significantly better player if he just got 100 more PAs last season in the majors. Yeah, sure, he should have played over Margot last season. But that doesn't mean he'd be any better this season. This is ridiculous thinking. And, thanks to the helpful search function on this website, I can tell you that the second comment you made mentioning Bader was: So...
  8. NYCTK
    This article really does a disservice by not mentioning WHY Baez is playing. He's playing CF because they lost two 2+ WAR outfielders that are returning very soon. So if Baez takes a step back they expect Meadows and Vierling to fill in that gap.

    The thing about such diligent minor league reports is fans develop too lofty of expectations on the minor league players that are performing well. Carson McCusker would still be highlighted, while a player like Billy Amick wouldn't get a write up proposing he's a likely call up or the future at 1B based on a 500 BABIP in high A. I'd rather learn about a player like Manzardo before or around his call-up instead of a player that likely doesn't even get to 50 PAs in the bigs.
  10. NYCTK
    Miranda would obviously be a 300 average 25 HR gold glove first basemen if Rocco just BELIEVED in him more.
  11. NYCTK
    What, you don't think his 420 BABIP is sustainable?
  12. NYCTK
    Yeah, and then he can come back when Clemens inevitably cools off and he is once again worthy of a DFA.
  13. 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.
  14. NYCTK
    Who has claimed that?
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. NYCTK
    I think skipping out on the Jrs is fine. I don't know his father, so there's no confusion to be had :-)
  18. 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.
  19. NYCTK
    He did that last season too, and its hideous. He looks like a toddler.
  20. 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.
  22. NYCTK
    And outs to singles.
  23. NYCTK
    How right you are. Zips projections McCusker: 235/292/410 Grichuk: 245/297/407
  24. NYCTK
    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.
  25. 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.
