    Maybe I should have written that I would not buy stock in any of this divisions teams.
  3. mikelink45
    sorry - I am still laughing - the white sox can't keep this up (why) the Twins can surge to the top (why?) and Detroit can't make a run - WHY??????????? and of course the Guardians will faulter down the stretch because???????????
  4. mikelink45
    Give me a break - the Tigers have no scouting - no one in Detroit knows baseball so we are swooping in to teach them a lesson.
  5. mikelink45
    I'm okay with that everything that has been written says he's ready including the recent TD posting
  6. mikelink45
    If I can believe the TD prospect readings and all of the things that have been written on the various websites he should be coming up if those are just hype and lies then you can have it your way

    I like the potential for Jenkins to succeed over the 55 games Roden has played in the majors so far. I am not against Roden having another chance but I am ready to see what Jenkins can do.
  8. mikelink45
    Jenkins first! We have an abundance of OF options in the minors - thats what made Outman such a bad decision. Gray, Martin, Fedko can all be replaced.
  9. mikelink45
    I am never interested in a big contract - like Skubal will get. I look at all those big long term contracts like Cole, Rodon, Strasburg, Lopez.... and you buy injuries and limits to spending, but I would take rentals for this year and especially some relief pitchers. I see our young players develop, I am sorry we did not extend Ryan last year, but unless we just are blown away with talent he is as good as any rental on the market for the pennant push. I like bringing up the young players - Martin, Fedko can do down alond with Gray. That makes room for the three you listed. But I do not see the young arms that can fill the BP void. And what about Gonzales? This was a TD article on top five pitching prospects - we have Prielipp and Rojas pitching on the team (hope they quit sending Rojas down) - are any of the other three ready for a pen debut? What about Gallagher?
  10. mikelink45
    Shuffle the deck - it's time for Jenkins. Trade Wallner, Not sure about the new RP pickup - when we give cash it means the player is not valued by the team that trades him. But I am not seeing a lot in the minors to fill the pen.
  11. mikelink45
    I am enjoying this team out performing my preseason expectations.
  12. mikelink45
    Jenkins is ready - time to bring him up!
  13. mikelink45
    I offer Mike Paredes the honorable mention. Not because he has been great, but because he has been available and works hard to fill our void. His 4.60 era is eighth among all active pitchers and he was sent out against the Yankees in New York. Thanks Mike.
  14. mikelink45
    All men are created equal - not all players, not all teams. Yankee Doodle was our first (unofficial) anthem, the Yankees are our (unofficial) nemesis - happy fourth to all
  15. mikelink45
    The question is do you think our relief pitching is better than what they would be at a less effective rate?
  16. mikelink45
    If he is ready bring him up. We have watched Griffey and Trout and others succeed at 21 - the trend in MLB the last few years is to get prospects to the majors quicker. If he is prone to injury it is just as likely i the minors as the majors. So lets get his bat where it belongs in Minneapolis.
  17. mikelink45
    Actually - I do. I want the starters conditioned to throw 125 a game.
  18. mikelink45
    I guess all those complete game pitchers in the the last century must have been injured and we never knew it.
  19. mikelink45
    That is his job!
  20. mikelink45
    If we trade Ryan as expected what next? That removes Rojas for BP to replace Ryan. Then we have a rotation that lacks an Ace, a BP that lacks shut down arms. Not good for a run to the playoffs. I am worried about Ober. I see Gomez, Morris, and Raya needing to continue or step up. I like Parades approach and keep him. The rest do not give me any encouragement. We will be forced to keep Rogers and Erze, but they are not good. Then what? First we start forcing SP to go seven, even the third time through they are better than the alternatives. Second we bring up Culpepper and we experiment with more minor league arms.
  21. mikelink45
    Why just 5? With our BP we need starters to go 7
  22. mikelink45
    We had similar angst with Santana and France - too quick for us commenters to pull the trigger.
  23. mikelink45
    Am I delusional? It seems like our system is short on quality pitching, only a couple really seem like they have major league potential. I would love to see our prospect list dominating by pitchers.
  24. mikelink45
    St Louis Cardinals with Ozzie Smith and the Aparacio/Fox White Sox will always be memorable teams - I like fielding.
  25. mikelink45
    Time to move on - give Fedko a period of consistency, they be prepared to move on from both with Gonzales and Jenkins.
