    Jim Bouton was 63 - 63 despite pitching for the yankees and had 7.5 War in 10 years. I expect more from Ryan. Keep the hair.

    Does that mean you would not teach calculus to a third grader?
  3. mikelink45
    Actually yes, if I understood it myself. Some third graders have an amazing grasp on math. get-ready-for-calculus-in-third-grade-kids This article might give you an idea why. Of course the inverse of your question is - would you have made Ken Griffey Jr go through the steps of minor leagues?
  4. mikelink45
    Keep the hair, keep the swagger. This is exciting, even if his first appearance goes bad, he has made the jump and I think it will be a real boost to the team.
  5. mikelink45
    I think it will be a pitcher. We have a number of pitcher prospects - too many to have them all in the rotation or pen in 2022. Who ever is left to develop will be number one.
  6. mikelink45
    I was a skeptic, now I am a fan - way to go OBER!
  7. mikelink45
    None of those starters look like they are ready for the Twins. Wow that hurts.
  8. mikelink45
    He may have velocity gains, but he is not ready to be in next years rotation.
  9. mikelink45
    It must be hard to create these reports, but you do a really nice job. The rotation is such a mess, please give me Ryan so I have some hope. I do not believe in Dobnak, I have no faith in Jax, Pineda should not be resigned, Maeda is gone for the year. And don't even mention Gant or Barnes. So the rotation next year is Ober, Ryan and let's hope Balazovic looks great in the spring, Winder is ready to jump up and another prospect emerges because adding a veteran starter to this group does nothing.
  10. mikelink45
    I really do not care what level they are at, just bring up some healthy arms and let them show us what we have.
  11. mikelink45
    Somebody in the minors has to be available and not on the IL - get any healthy arm that is out there and under 27 years old. Start experimenting. Do something.
  12. mikelink45
    I am not a Jax fan, even when he supposedly was going well I was not his fan. I want another young arm in the rotation. I am not interested in good stories, I want good pitchers. Gibault has the stats, but hard hit balls eventually fall in. By the way did anyone see what Berrios did today? Nice to see Sano on a positive streak and he is showing me some new talent, taking some pitches the other way. Donaldson is doing great - if only we could see this a full season - maybe 2022.
  13. mikelink45
    I sure hope so. Kiriloff has to heal, Larnach needs to find his confidence again. I do suspect Sano will DH, Kiriloff when healthy at 1B, Larnach in OF, hopefully with Buxton and ??? I am not a Kepler fan. Who is next on the prospect list for OF/1B/DH? Do you think Rooker will stick next year?
  14. mikelink45
    Rooker got on base by being hit. That seems to be his best strategy at this point. I'm very disappointed and how he has played. He's not young enough to keep taking time to develop. Of course putting in cave with a 187 average to replace Rooker with his 190 average has to be defense only. I'm looking for someone to replace both of them.
  15. mikelink45
    I keep looking for pitchers who are showing promise for the future. Days like this are disappointing. I know something that this is late in the season so the pitchers are wearing down but I keep wondering why. The season started late and even though they had no minor leagues last year didn't they work out and keep developing during that time? I do think it was another of Manfords bad decisions. But it was also a year where everybody should have healed whatever ailments they had.
  16. mikelink45
    Thanks for the insight. I read his name in the minor league summaries, but knew nothing about him. I have no expectations, but now I can read about him with some background.
  17. mikelink45
    2 - 0. I liked it. Good ball playing. The one thing I would like to see next game is Buxton starting a streak again. He had enough time in the minors to get timing, now he needs to produce for both the team and the contracts he is dreaming of.
  18. mikelink45
    Pitcher and batter of the day - I don't know either of them. That was fun, although I really enjoyed Miranda just holding the batter title.
  19. mikelink45
    Good summary - I hope he continues and makes it big. I remember being excited about Gonsalves so I have to temper my enthusiasm.
  20. mikelink45
    I have no idea. I want him in the rotation. I do not know how he heals. I hope they get some outside opinions.
  21. mikelink45
    The letter G did not work, the sesame street FO can now go and get some washed up letter H pitchers - Gant (6.75era), Garcia (10.45 era), Garza Jr (5.21 FIP) are done as far as I am concerned and reflect on this FO and their grab of unwanted vets. Time for Ryan, if he comes up and does what he looks like he is capable of doing the FO will look much better.
  22. mikelink45
    7 for 39 - last nights top prospect results. .179 with 16 Ks. Get that minor league hitting instructor to work.
  23. mikelink45
    Too harsh and real - Damn Yankees.
  24. mikelink45
    I have reached a point where I do not care if they resign Buxton. How much have they paid for how many games? He has been a liability and if he wants to prove his value with a two year contract where he tries to stay on the diamond I am fine but otherwise move on.
  25. mikelink45
    We all kept asking why too, but had as much luck then as we have with Rocco now. Managers just think that the RP will figure it out.
