    After reading this, I don't want anything to do with Aiken at 6 (unless something comes out between now and the draft). I wouldn't be unhappy with Allard. If they are confident and want him, go for it. Does the possibility of not having a pick as high as #6 for a while really have an effect on their decision here?
  2. Tibs
    Probably just to make us all mad

    Lots of rambling, but the last part is pretty good. Tucker is still my favorite of who could be available when the Twins pick.
  4. Tibs
    Yes, but with the new bats they have been using the last couple years there isn't a huge difference between them and wood bats.

    At 27-18, the Twins would have to go 45-72 the rest of the season if it is going to be another 90 loss season. That's a .385 win percentage. 48-69 (.410) puts the Twins at 75 wins. The wheels would really have to come off for those to happen. Not impossible, but something is different about this team and I'm not inclined to believe a collapse of that magnitude will come. They are really on a roll right now.

    Ermahgerd. I can't even with Gonsalves
  7. Tibs
    Since the Twins forfeited their 2nd round pick, does that mean they forfeit the money for that slot too?
  8. Tibs
    If the Twins ended up drafting Tucker, I would be sooooooo happy

    Enough that MLB will have to make a rule saying someone is not allowed to hit this many triples in a season.
  10. Tibs
    That makes sense. Maybe we'll see Molitor use a different strategy down the road.

    After reading the whole thread, I'm struggling a bit with this concept. If we bring in Perkins in a tie game, then that means a different pitcher probably has to come in when we take the lead. This is assuming Perkins pitched before the 12th or couldn't go more than one inning. What's the difference between pitching Duensing before Perkins and pitching Perkins before Duensing? Both cases have Duensing pitching, but in the second case you have already used your best reliever. How does this have any less disaster written all over it?

    When you have Shane Robinson, Kurt Suzuki, Eduardo Escobar, Danny Santana, and Eduardo Núñez in the same lineup, you aren't going to hit a lot of homeruns.

    I'm more inclined to believe a BABIP of .426 has a bit more to do with pitching poorly than straight bad luck. Suggesting it is bad luck is a bit out there in my opinion and if bad luck is why he is performing so poorly, I think the coaching staff could realize that and keep him in the rotation.

    First of all, 9 triples in 39 games is stupid. Secondly, is Ryan Eades still viewed as a guy who could move quickly?
  15. Tibs
    I may be a little biased, but if the Red Sox called me with that offer for Byron Buxton I'd ask if they forgot to say the other names they are throwing in. At this point, that is basically a one for one trade with Buxton and Swihart.

    It's good to see Zack Jones second in the minor league organization in BB/9 for relievers
  17. Tibs
    I'd be ecstatic if the Twins drafted Bregman or Tucker.
  18. Tibs
    I guess my question is how much is his BB stat being affected by all the hits he is giving up?
  19. Tibs
    Let's pretend that Max Kepler is still hitting well halfway through the season. Does being on the 40 man give him a chance of being on the Twins before September? His case is interesting to me as he was placed on the 40 man well before he was major league ready.
  20. Tibs
    I'm going with Kepler. Booser had 6 Ks in 2.1 IP. That's pretty impressive
  21. Tibs
    Good for you. That doesn't make a 25 year old not young.
  22. Tibs
    That's along the line of what I was thinking. I don't see people using the GO/AO stat specifically much so I wasn't sure what to make of it. There could be. Hitting fewer fly balls should result in a higher batting average but less power, generally speaking.
  23. Tibs
    On milb.com, it lists a players GO/AO stat. Aaron Hicks has a GO/AO at 2.00 through 25 games this season while his minor league career average is 1.15 and his MLB average is 1.18. Is there any significance in this stat?
  24. Tibs
    Oh wow. That's bad. I know he's an infielder, but I don't see how a major league player, who the manager is confident enough to put in the outfield, doesnt make that catch.
  25. Tibs
    I don't know the severity of the injury, but high ankle sprains usually aren't a two week thing. A high ankle sprain can easily take over a month to recover from, many times 6 weeks or more. I'm assuming his replacement won't be getting just a quick look at AA.
