    Overall, not a big deal. However, if the Twins MI is giving up runs at critical junctures of the game, then, yes, it is a big deal.
  2. Blake
    I think the Twins can afford one of either Arraez or Polanco. Having two average gloves and great bats, up the middle, is asking for trouble. Donaldson addresses the 3B issue but the middle is still weak. I think Polanco should be on the trading block.

    I'm looking at it from the vantage point of someone like myself. I find it incredible someone can even get around on a 95mph fastball to begin with.

    By the way, it still astounds me that knowing what pitch is coming is that much of an advantage for a hitter.

    In looking at Logan Morrison's accusation, meh. If the teams listed were using electronics to pick up signs, I'm not sure I care, because it doesn't appear it was being used in real time, unlike what Houston was doing.
  6. Blake
    I believe there has been an explicit ban on electronic sign stealing for quite a while, which I believe factored into the harsh penalties levied against Houston.
  7. Blake
    I was talking to a guy that knows a bit about this, he was a catcher in the minor leagues, and he thinks stealing signs the traditional way is part of the game, but electronic sign stealing is a bridge too far. Which I agree with.

    I'm not really interested in position players. The team won 101 games last year yet fell short, due to lack of pitching.
  9. Blake
    The "three batter minimum" rule will last until managers decide to call a pitch "hard inside" and "accidentally" hit a batter, getting the pitcher ejected. Oops.

    Signing Grandal put a better fielder behind the plate. What are the Sox going to do about the rest of the infield catching the ball?

    I wouldn't mind Gibson coming back but I think he is a candidate for a change of scenery. No matter what, I wish Mr. Gibson nothing but the best.

    Not sure what provoked this memory, but, here's a bad yet hilarious video.
  14. Blake
    eh, the team will probably regress to 97 wins, and make it out of the first round of the playoffs. So much for sustainable success!
  15. Blake
    A rookie manager who walked into a clubhouse that didn't know him, beset by injuries to players, a patch-work pitching staff yet 101 wins. Yeah, he done good.
  16. Blake
    It's all fun and games until the breaking stuff is called a strike.
  17. Blake
    Stealing signs is all well and good, but, still have to hit the ball.
  18. Blake
    Read the article and all I can say is the president of the Player's Union is trying to make a mountain out of a molehill.
  19. Blake
    I'd rather the Twins use the spot for one of the rookies, say Smeltzer.

    Weren't there rumors of the FO approaching Buxton about buying out some of Buxton's arbitration years, similar to the contracts of Polanco and Kepler and Buxton turning the Twins down? I don't see where Buxton really has a gripe, because if it's true, he would have been paid a lot of money for playing in Triple A ball.
  21. Blake
    Why limit Mr. Garver to singles? Looks to me like Mr. Garver is able to do more than hit singles.
  22. Blake
    I think it's a good question and I have no idea what the answer may be. It's kind of funny, but how much has the new FO raised the bar of expectations of this off-season with the success of this last season? "Victim of their own success" might be an apt description.
  23. Blake
    I was thinking in term of a FA acquisition by the Twins over keeping Cron. I think the Twins may be a little too much "station to station" as currently constructed. Whether there's a player available that fits the bill, I have no idea. More along the lines of something I think the FO should keep in mind. However, since I haven't recently slept at Holiday Inn, nor put together a team that won a 101 games in the regular season, you can guess what my opinion may be worth. Great response, by the way, thank you.
  24. Blake
    One part of me would really like to see CJ Cron come back, the other has reluctantly concluded the team needs to add some speed on the base paths. When the bats aren't working, the Twins need to find a way to manufacture runs. If CJ Cron has to be sacrificed for more team speed then so be it.

    Of what is this 3rd and 7 you speak? This is a foreign tongue of which I know very little.....
