    Excellent stuff as usual
  2. Richie the Rally Goat
    If he's hurt, DL, otherwise some extra time with Bruno is in order. He's got nothing left to prove in AAA.

    The phrase "utility infielder" in context with the Minnesota Twins brings shudders up my spine. In other organizations it wouldn't any more than "fourth outfielder", except Gardy loves to play the fourth outfielder Ala Nick Punto every day. I don't have a problem with Escobar playing every day. As SS goes, he's the best combination of hitting and fielding since Hardy, but he's no where near the hitter that Hardy is. If Santana can prove himself to be THE Shortstop, it would be awesome to have Escobar as the utility infielder, provided the manager plays him as such. Additionally Esco can play a descent 3base and 2base without his hitting suffering too badly, I think he's a very good candidate. if Santana can't prove himself to be THE SS, Esco is a fine stopgap.

    Don't look now, but this is at least the second article this season call Bull Dozier under rated. That makes him not under rated any more.
  5. Richie the Rally Goat
    Well written article. I'm still fuzzy on your math
  6. Richie the Rally Goat
    Put Pelf on the 60 day? DFA Florimon? DFA Burton? If there is a will there is a way

    Ehhhh, I'd tread carefully. Thrylos knows his/hers stuff. Do I know Thrylos well enough to know gender? No. Do I know well enough to trust statistical analysis? Yes. besides, you're using conventional wisdom for starters on a releiver. His xFIP suggests his BABIP will regress to the mean and his ERA will balloon. It's not a week or month hot streak, true, but he has a total of 76 appearances in the bigs. Far too small to trust over math.
  8. Richie the Rally Goat
    He's also supposed to be working in both corner OF spots. Ominous, but expected
  9. Richie the Rally Goat
    it won't be, but we can hope. My other low man on the totem pole would be Guerrier... Well really it's Nolasco, but that unreasonable
  10. Richie the Rally Goat
    Oof! Arcia's been brutal lately. 0fer3, 2 ks, 8 pitches
  11. Richie the Rally Goat
    Willingham made that really routine catch look really hard
  12. Richie the Rally Goat
    Why not us? Why not now? We keep trotting out Mauer and Nolasco
  13. Richie the Rally Goat
    13 man pitching staff again huh? I hope you're wrong, but afraid you're right
  14. Richie the Rally Goat
    Statistically Pino has been far better. I know he's thirty and a junk ball pitcher and less likely to sustain quality, but if 1.9 era and 9k/9 innings doesn't get you to the bigs, what will?
  15. Richie the Rally Goat
    I'd rather it was at the big league club, but a good thing overall
  16. Richie the Rally Goat
    And Escobar has shown great improvement hitting and fielding given the consistency of one position, so you may jeopardize the long term gains at a position of extended weakness for a short term issue. He's played well at SS, leave him there. Nunez has played well in a reserve capacity (and is day to day) bring in someone who is a full time third basemen, preferably with options.
  17. Richie the Rally Goat
    What are "things young men do to cause carpal tunnel syndrome?" Alex
  18. Richie the Rally Goat
    JB, I love your turn of phrase, it never fails to make me smile.
  19. Richie the Rally Goat
    Nill-k grip?
  20. Richie the Rally Goat
    But staying in the basement watch the twins sounds like something a teenage boy would do... http://www.twinsdaily.com/showthread.php/12019-Buxton-Sano-Video-and-Article-on-Injury-Recovery

    twins with a lowercase t
  22. Richie the Rally Goat
    What happened to the football jargon?
  23. Richie the Rally Goat
    I know! Right! You should see the posts regarding the Souhan article about Sano and Buxton. All of the unintended double entendre
  24. Richie the Rally Goat
    Just like pitching BP, or Nolasco with an 0-2 count
  25. Richie the Rally Goat
    Has anyone heard of this Little Debby Romero? I heard he plays third base.
