Lamarre hands down the Sire of Fort Myers. What a stud! -
Adrianza, Garver, and Morrison are all emergency outfielders. Grossman is almost emergency at this point. If Granite is hurt, you gotta have somebody... Agreed on middle infield, they are thin there too, but at least Adrianza is a pretty good SS. Two bat only guys on the bench could bite them.

its “battle your tail off” - gotta invoke the Gardyisms when writing about a scrappy 4th/5th outfielder ala Lew Ford or utility infielder ala Nick Punto All joking aside, it’s a fun story and I’d like to see Lamarre succeed. What if the change is real and he’s a late bloomer? Granite could use a little seasoning, and depth is great for the trade deadline.

Lynn must have needed some extra work and needed a few extra days... else Lynn and Gibson would be switched
-
and how many games can a bad last man in the pen let the opposing team back in a game? That causes additional wear on the first arms in the pen that should t have been in the game at all...

Did I miss a transaction/60 day dL of Phil Hughes?

according to the mlb document the league notifies the GM and the MLBPA 72 hours before notifying the player. I was way off on my timing, but Falvey must have known. Now maybe the results of the test were announced 4 days ago but Polanco knew he’d failed it before the ink was dry on the cup label...

http://www.mlb.com/pa/pdf/jda.pdf According to the policy, the team, the players association, and the league knows 72 hours before the player does. My guess is this has been a week or less. My employees were non-union, but i suspended my reports as soon as I found out or at the beginning of their next shift if they were off. I’d literally find them in the plant or at the beginning of the shift wait at the time clock. Everyone knew someone got popped if I greeted everyone at the door, which was once or twice a month.

the team must administer (or schedule w/ the third party) the test, no? Maybe not the analysis, but the collection. Or do you mean when the team gets the results?
-
you had me until Lewis. Don’t mess with him out of necessity.
-
Boy am I disappointed in Polanco. Even if he didn’t intentionally take the roids, which is suspect, he made a bad choice by taking something that he didn’t know what it was.

yabba dabba don’t go there

Rooker’s destiny is in his own hands. Depth isn’t affecting Rooker’s development plan. Wade might be impacted, but if he makes his case, they’ll figure out the finagling. Seems like Levi Michael has to figure some things out... he hasn’t been in the discussion at all.
-
now all they need is a left handed outfielder named Quarry and the screwball comedy script writes itself
-
https://youtu.be/FG0-cncMpt8 I had the same thought. Maybe Antony will put a piano in the locker room just to see if Cave can play it...
-
seems more like Pirana small ball... nibbled to death rather than the Darvish home run

Article: Twins To Sign Lance Lynn
Richie the Rally Goat replied to Tom Froemming's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
nope, I’m saying TR never had this kind of offseason where he could really play hardball like Levine has. TR overpaid for Ricky Nolasco and Phil Hughes because the market was there for the better talent to take contracts outside of his ability/willingness to pay. This new FO has done really good things, but they’ll need to do it again next year. I can’t wait to watcj -
Sanchez gets somthing between 400 and 500k

oportunity may not be the same next year. It doesn’t matter how good you are, if the opportunity to sign someone who misjudged the market doesn’t exist, the FO won’t get the same perceived “value” they’ll get scrap heap ala TR -
ive been in favor signing him, I think last year was a bounce back from TJ year and 2018 on he’ll go back to a more normal year more or less. I do understand the doubters. Not everyone recovers from major surgery the same way. Yes, I expect his BABIP to climb and his k rate to climb with it. He relied heavily on his sinker last year more than other years. It’s not a good pitch for him, but with health he shouldn’t have to rely on it. Less sinker means better ability to pitch up in the zone, out of the wheelhouse of the uppercut swing types

Indeed it could be an outlier, but we don’t know. A thousand mile journey begins with one step.

had to check the time stamp to make sure the was a prediction

itll be Vargas... but Sanchez is owed less than a mil, so he’ll be cut shortly before the escalator -
It’s official Lynn agrees to one year 12 mil with Twins https://mobile.twitter.com/jonmorosi/status/972587636866117632
