    Because I don't remember the 102 loss season and can't help but want to experience that as a Twins fan.... Because I'm a masochist
  2. Richie the Rally Goat
    I'm encouraged by this direction, but like Mike above I would like to reserve judgment until results
  3. Richie the Rally Goat
    Yup, if 90+ losses 5 of 6 years doesn't give one the true value of Dozier to this team relative to starting pitching, I don't know what will.
  4. Richie the Rally Goat
    Polanco and Escobar could eventually be a better 2b/SS fielding tandem than Dozier and Escobar or Dozier and Polanco. Dozier's not going to improve much as a fielder. Polanco still has youth on his side to improve his fielding.
  5. Richie the Rally Goat
    Doogie's interview w/ RA touched on May potentially going back to the rotation. http://kstp.com/sports/twins-interim-general-manager-rob-antony-interview-darren-doogie-wolfson-may-sano-polanco/4230249/

    Seth made the argument that we shouldn't really compare Mauer to catchers in the hall, but then rattled off the list of catchers in the hall. It's only natural because catchers are unique to all position players. Just look at all the safety equipment. Even pitchers don't get that and they have the ball hit at them on purpose at 60'6" If Joe can pull off a late career surge and earn a year or two extension, I think he can get in.
  7. Richie the Rally Goat
    is there a Mike Trout in that list? Mauer is by far the best on that list, but stopped being remotely close the day he was diagnosed w/ concussion. Now he's a real good player but not elite. Is he a "problem"? No, but this is a crappy team filled with average at best veterans. Plouffe, Dozier, are never going to move the needle when this team has so many pitching holes
  8. Richie the Rally Goat
    I get wanting your 26th man to be up and down, but I don't get using a guy for 26 you have to add to the 40 man that you don't intend to keep in the 40 man but don't want to risk losing.
  9. Richie the Rally Goat
    How have you come to this conclusion? Or is this a should statement disguised as a prediction?
  10. Richie the Rally Goat
    i don't think Plouffe would clear waivers. He would be a guy someone would claim in the hopes of making a low cost trade, assuming he would be non-tendered in the offseason anyways. A low voltage trade could get you 6-8 weeks of Plouffe and arbitration rights vs a crazy free agency price.
  11. Richie the Rally Goat
    probably, what team doesn't matter. The point is putting Suzuki on waivers has a very low probability for successful trade because of all of the things that the Twins can't control such as waiver priorities.
  12. Richie the Rally Goat
    you are correct, a trade could be had with the team that claims him, but Atlanta could claim just to stop the trade from going forward assuming they will not come to a trade agreement and the Twins will revoke waivers. Suzuki would never be waived being he's at the end of his guaranteed contract. He's more valuable to play the game than for his roster spot to be taken up by who? Murphy?

    Suzuki isn't passing through waivers unclaimed which makes him most likely to bring a good return of players who are likely to be traded in the next 12 minutes

  16. Richie the Rally Goat
    http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2016/07/jonathan-luroy-no-trade-indians-brewers.html Lucroy exercised his no trade. Suzuki could be a much cheaper fall back option
  17. Richie the Rally Goat
    do you really think starting the search two weeks before the trade deadline helps? If you are serious about interviewing outside the org, how many teams are going to allow AGMs to interview during the season?
  18. Richie the Rally Goat
    thanks John. Appreciate the transparency. I kind of agree with the stance you took. I wouldn't have made the move Pohlad did, in that I wouldn't have told Ryan he was fired until the end of the season. I would have waited until the last day of the season to do anything, then I would have given him a chance to retire or be fired on the spot.
  19. Richie the Rally Goat
    me too. The couple of times I've had the chance to chat John up at events have been great.

    jeppy was released
  22. Richie the Rally Goat
    I keep waiting for Joe to come up injured with some hard to detect injury (related to concussion or not) that puts him on the DL and after 6 weeks requires some kind of invasive treatment or surgery that sidelined him for the rest of the year
  23. Richie the Rally Goat
    my child is two and has never lived in or visited a house with a land line but if you hand her the old toy https://www.google.com/search?q=vintage+toy+telephone&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us&client=safari#imgrc=WAvkzwoh4-FUBM%3A She knows exactly what to do with it. On the other hand she taps and swipes my tv like it's an iPad
  24. Richie the Rally Goat
    if Dozier is so good, why des this team suck so bad? With Dozier, Escobar, and Sano on this infield Polanco would not play more than once a week until injury, and therefore would not progress, and Dozier will most certainly regress before his contract expires.
  25. Richie the Rally Goat
    id be ok w/ Polanco at 2nd. Dozier has been using a bit more of the field lately and may salvage a bit of trade value. Not much w/ that weird contract
