    Why did you pluralize year? He was awful last year. As documented in this and the other Arcia thread, he's hit well this year when given continuous playing time.
  2. Mr. Brooks
    If we fired Ryan and Mollie a month ago, there is a chance that Arcia would be getting a shot as the everyday DH, Sano would be rehabbing at 3B, and May would be stretching out to start. Based on that I'd say there is absolutely good reason to make changes in season.
  3. Mr. Brooks
    Have you considered the possibility that Arcia was playing hurt last year?
  4. Mr. Brooks
    I'd say it's better than 50% that he's already safely passed that date.
  5. Mr. Brooks
    JR Murphy sits at .229. Thats OPS, not batting average. Too early to judge, but IF we did, the Yankees got the better by a landslide.
  6. Mr. Brooks
    Holy crap, how old are you?
  7. Mr. Brooks
    No, he doesn't. It's the minor leagues. No reason he can't start and go 2 to 3 innings. Heck, even if he started and only went 1 inning, that would still be different. It's a different routine and mindset, starting vs relieving.
  8. Mr. Brooks
    It shouldn't, but still does shock me that May is, it appears, staying in the bullpen. I guess I assumed it was a no brainer that now is as good a time as ever to put him back into the rotation.
  9. Mr. Brooks
    Not to go too far off topic but who would you say is the best pitcher of your lifetime? For me it's probably Pedro.
  10. Mr. Brooks
    Regarding Santana, the article also makes it clear that the Twins would likely have to eat a large chunk of his contract. That is simply not happening so long as Terry is still the GM.
  11. Mr. Brooks
    That was a minor league contact. If the Twins want to retain his rights they can for 4 more years.
  12. Mr. Brooks
    Grossman is not eligible for free agency until 2021 at the earliest.
  13. Mr. Brooks
    I think we all strive to be young for our age.
  14. Mr. Brooks
    Well if Arcia has a large enough sample size to be determined as a failed prospect, then I want to know how soon you are prepared to trade Buxton for cash. Not comparing their talent or upside, just the sample size given to them.
  15. Mr. Brooks
    Can I get a preemptive list of the excuses we'll see to let the Twins off the hook when Arcia becomes a valuable player? And yes, before you ask, I'll absolutely eat crow if he busts out.
  16. Mr. Brooks
    Sorry but I disagree on this depth. In fact I see it as a pretty big dry spot. Rosario and Grossman have ceilings of 4th outfielder IMO, and ABW, Palka and Harrison will likely never see more than a cup of coffee.
  17. Mr. Brooks
    Because if it was that easy to throw the ball exactly where you want, they'd all be Greg Maddux.
  18. Mr. Brooks
    In addition to depending on Perkins, I'd add counting on prospects to come up and contribute quickly, which hasn't panned out at all.
  19. Mr. Brooks
    Hrbek is my 3rd favorite Twin of all time, behind Kirby and Johan. I realize that adds nothing to the specific topic, but I'm just sayin.
  20. Mr. Brooks
    Both sides incur a risk when a contract is signed. Glen Perkins owes the team nothing. That said, I find his comments very curious. If it really makes him sick, he should donate it all to charity. I appreciate declaring that he intends to bust his butt to get back, but I don't really understand the comments about the money.
  21. Mr. Brooks
    I'm sorry but having a good 10 game streak doesn't make Duffey as good as Blyleven. Which hall of Famers is Grossman as good as, based on the hot streak he had?
  22. Mr. Brooks
    I disagree. It's a good thing for prospects to deal with slumps. It forces them to think about adjustments so they don't just cruise to the mlb on sheer talent alone. Now we (and he) get to see how he responds.
  23. Mr. Brooks
    Yep, Drew Butera is hitting like Ted Williams in limited use this year.
  24. Mr. Brooks
    Doesn't there need to be an original surge in order to have a resurgence?
  25. Mr. Brooks
    In #2, who exactly are you trading for a 28 year old ace that still leaves Sano, Buxton, Berrios, Kepler and Polanco? Any team trading a young ace is asking for one of Sano/Buxton plus Berrios plus one of Kepler/Polanco.
