    the Minnesotans (who don't even sell liquor on Sunday) call Canadians ignorant stone aged drunks just as much as Wisconsinites. We're supposed to stick together man!
  2. Richie the Rally Goat

  3. Richie the Rally Goat

    and I missed it!

    I think Pitching in general is a weakness for this team. Where KC has mediocre starters but the relievers can carry the wins. This team has no one behind Perkins, May, and Jepsen. My prediction is those three get overworked in the first half of the season while Molly waits for the reinforcements to reach maturity. If 1-2 of the triple-A guys doesn't get ready and come up quickly, and show his value in the MLB, it could be a real tough year.

    im really disappointed there aren't better options for both of them.

    I'm happy you have your ability to voice your opinion, even if I disagree.

    fair, it was an outlier not the norm, still those guys are available at reasonable trade costs and normal overpriced free agency rates. You don't have to give up the farm to get a 5th starter

    the issue wasn't the trade of Gogo, it was the treatment and patience. I'm not sure Buck and Gogo are good comps though. Buck seems to have a better head for the game, but that's just conjecture based on a handful of articles I read on the internets. Personally I find it reassuring Buxton is trying to adopt a more aggressive approach at the plate. I agree the Otis Nixon batting avg/obp comp is a different era of baseball. .278/.351 in 2016 would be a great season to build upon.

    right, and if May proves in 2015 that he's not well suited to the rotation, but is well suited to the bullpen, how much worse than Nolasco could he be? How hard would it be to sign or trade for a Nolasco/Milone type guy if you did lose one of them? Criminy they got Milone for a 5th outfielder But if they gave May a shot and he ends up being special, the gamble pays off. If they don't give May a shot in 2015, when? At what point does he become a reliever?
  17. Richie the Rally Goat
    Why can't Santana, Gibson, and Hughes be 3,4,5 in the rotation? Berrios 1, May 2. It's not like the rotation was very good last year or any of the years in the previous 4
  18. Richie the Rally Goat
    on what basis? You can't take everything TR says at face value.
  19. Richie the Rally Goat
    I think Duffey can succeed in the Rotation too. However I would spin your phrase around. Hard to see Duffey in the rotation over Nolasco because this team has a history of deferring to vets and refusing to give up on bad contracts, of which Nolasco is both. You are right, that bullpen Seth predicted looks very realistic, and very poor. They need help and Duffey could very successful there. The rotation needs help too as 123 needs to become 345 or 235. With May now a reliever, who else is ready/close besides Berrios? There's several pitchers getting close in the pen. Not many starters. The pitching will be a sore point until the next wave can establish themselves.
  20. Richie the Rally Goat
    they could take 13 pitchers. Extended spring training type of deal could give them extra time to separate wheat from the chaff, or swing a trade
  21. Richie the Rally Goat
    I wouldn't like seeing Nolasco in the rotation, but I totally get TR playing it out. If I were TR I wouldn't care about Ricky's attitude. I'm sure he deals with lots of players who have a concept of their performance and value that differs from his. If Ricky becomes Icky, it's going to hurt Ricky the most by far. Let it play out.
  22. Richie the Rally Goat
    Hey John, I always like your writing which has cut back recently. Good article, I wonder the same thing
  23. Richie the Rally Goat
    Fantastic post but my feeling is go scorched earth rebuild or go big in free agency, don't half-ass it. If with a straight face you can look at 2012-14 and say the Twins needed to spend real big to not be a really poor team, why can't you look at 2015 and say, if they had put good dough into 2 relief pitchers in the offseason they would have had a real shot at the playoffs? What's the threshold for hindsight 20/20 rule? I think you could repeat that meme again in 2016
  24. Richie the Rally Goat
    Fantastic event! Being a bald guy winning a Harry's Shaving kit was icing on the already delicious cake.
  25. Richie the Rally Goat
    Great event, Laudner was fantastic, Pags killed it, and Meatsauce was a fun and entertaining host.
