    Ya I'm just going off memory too so could be throwing non factual things out there a little loosely. So long as a couple people buy it...

    That's awfully presumptuous. How many HRS did Dozier hit when he was 23?
  9. troyhobbs
    They were tailspining before Sano was called up and then tanked at the end of the year again but he did provide a brief surge. More so than any other individual in the lineup anyway
  10. troyhobbs
    Remember Sano carried this team on his back the 2nd half of last season and was a big reason why they almost made the playoffs, meanwhile Dozier was scuffling pretty hard. It could be that Dozier is having his best year and Sano is having his worst.

    Hope's and dreams has been the mantra of mgmt the past 5 seasons. One would expect guys like Sano, Kepler, Rosario, etc to replace those HRS and pitching is way more important than a handful of solo HRS. The board is also ignoring how bad the bullpenext is.

    Ya from tied for last place to outright last place
  22. troyhobbs
    Santana's ERA is 3.54 and he probably won't win 10 games this year. So the Twins need like 4 more Santanas, or at least 2 studs better than Santana, and/or a loaded bullpen to actually contend. Flirting with .500 is not contending. If Santana isn't demanding a trade at seasons end he's only in it for the money (and that's cool).

    Kepler spent a lot of time at 1B in the minors, Rosario bounced between 2B and CF, Sano to RF was a major head scratcher, Escobar has been forced into a UTIL role, as has Danny Santana (and Nunez), Dozier and Plouffe used to be SS, Mauer was C, etc. So you got like 2 or 3 positional players on the roster that play the same position they played coming up through the minors. Total system failure....

    Also not trading Plouffe. TR was determined to "add bats" while assembling the worst defense behind the worst pitching staff in baseball. So now you have a slightly above avg lineup and that looks like the bad news bears when they take the field. What's the over under on 90+ losses in '17?
  31. troyhobbs
    That's what Terry Ryan would do but don't think anyone has the patience to watch that strategy play out again.
  32. troyhobbs
    Sarcasm. Point is Mauer sympathizers would need much thicker skin in a more vicious market and Joe is actually treated pretty well by fans and media in MN.
  33. troyhobbs
    The ONLY reason Joe catches flack is because of his contract yet by and large Minnesotans adore him. If he was in almost any other city he'd be one of the most hated players in baseball. If Joe (or others on his behalf) can't handle a little criticism then they're not aware of the reality of professional sports.
  34. troyhobbs
    Grossman and Santana better start mashing then. Arcia probs a better option than those 2, not to mention Buxton...
  35. troyhobbs
    Seeing the struggles of top prospects like May, Meyer, and Barrios makes one leery about what else is in the cupboards.
