    Mysterious and spooky... and altogether ooky! (snap twice)

    Any reason why Trevor Larnach should not be on this list as well? I know most had him on the list last year and were wrong, but the same reasons seem even stronger now.
  3. big dog
    To be fair, this team used some pitchers who were even worse than Rogers. They needed him early in the year. It does some like he was kept past his sell-by date as the year went on, though.

    and speed, You can say that Boggs and Gwyn were at least "not fast", but they both had about 40 points more slugging percentage and long runs as good fielders. No thank you to Luis. He's been on 5 teams in 5 years. He plays a limited role really well, but teams need someone with more skills.
  5. big dog
    Yeah, and watching Hosken, Bombo, Lenny, and... Nevermind.

    Not only is buying one expensive, the return process is a nightmare.
  7. big dog
    Well, maybe it was a 5/8 measure anyway.

    The other three guys haven’t exactly come back to haunt. Cano is the only one in the deal that anyone would want today.

    I know (or I think) you are joking, but I was telling this to a friend the other day. My wife of 36 years overheard, and this morning she said that she hoped I would start cheering for the Brewers because her life would get a lot happier.

    The Pohlads and this kind of approach have just beaten me down. I'm seriously thinking of trying to forget the Twins, the girl I always loved who hasn't loved me back in 20+ years. In fact, she makes fun of me by telling me she'll go out with me but never actually doing it. Time to find a small-market team that is actually working. Go Brewers! But we all know I will come crawling back the next time the Twins smile at me with a potentially good trade or a, gasp, mid-level FA signing. Then I will get stepped on again.

    I'm not sure I will go for a 10-year career, but if the bet is "he'll be out of baseball in two years", sign me up for the over. No question.

    True, I didn't randomly pick that sample. I was just providing more context to the 8 scoreless innings that started all this. Look at the whole year if you like. His ERA is 5.16, his WHIP is the same as it was in those 8 innings. His K rate is better for the full year than it was for those 8 innings. My point was, those 8 innings don't tell us much positive except he didn't give up a run. Pick any smaller sample you like to show me he's great, that's fine.

    Putting on my Travis Adams Skeptic hat... 8 IP, 0 runs ERA = 0.00 that's good 5 H, 6 BB, 5 K WHIP = 1.375, K/BB = 0.83, K/9 = 0.625 that's less good I'm still not convinced, but he had a good outing last night (against a team without much offense).
  14. big dog
    He puts the ball in play and he runs it out hard. That's something to appreciate.
  15. big dog
    They absolutely should sell but the Pohlads are holding out for too much money. Oh wait you meant something else?
  16. big dog
    Great. Nice work. You have awoken Jontu and Cnthol. This is not going to end well.
  17. big dog
    Just noticed that former Twin LaMonte Wade Jr. was called up by the Astros. Good luck to him, as long as he doesn't help them win a wild card spot.
  18. big dog
    Henry Mendez for Bader's expiring contract looks pretty good. Garrett Horn for Coulombe's expiring contract too. Two pitchers for Castro's expiring contract. Jiminez for Dobnack and Paddack. Right now we could get any of those guys back for nothing or almost nothing. Wouldn't you characterize those as smart trades?
  19. big dog
    Right, because all good pitchers who come up with the Twins continue to get re-signed and spend their entire productive careers with the Twins...trying to think of one...nope, I'm pretty sure that just doesn't happen.
  20. big dog
    Who are you and why have you never observed what happens on the internet before???
  21. big dog
    Cole Sands would at least raise the floor. I’m ready any time.
  22. big dog
    Almost anybody looks good when you see clips of them hitting homers. But man, Cholowsky looked REALLY good.
  23. big dog
    Anything that moves Adams out of our bullpen... (not including an injury to Adams, of course, nobody should want that)
  24. big dog
    For those of you who enjoy beating dead horses, I'd like to suggest you drop Varland and start 5 threads on how letting the Yankees pick up Brent Headrick (2026 stats- 1.8 WAR, 4-1 record, 1.45 ERA, 2.65 FIP, 41 IP, 47 Ks, 16 BBs, 1.131 WHIP) on waivers was the dumbest mistake ever, because it was huge. Just don't start in on Lecroy/Ortiz again, please.
  25. big dog
    Let's make Adams' spot available.
