    I hope you're right!

    This is a thing too, from the Strib http://www.startribune.com/twins-reach-deal-with-marwin-gonzalez/506221452/ : Adrianza is still not 100 percent following offseason surgery on his left shoulder. The injury affected Adrianza’s follow-through while batting righthanded, forcing the switch-hitter to bat lefthanded against lefthanded pitchers during the final weeks of last season. He’s been icing the shoulder since arriving at camp and will only bat lefthanded during spring training games. Surgery took place on Oct. 9, and he was told recovery would be six to eight months. “Everybody knows I can’t hit righthanded right now,” Adrianza said, “so they might have to figure out who’s pitching to decide if I play.” I didn't know he was not 100%.

    Yean, I'm kind of assuming the front office has some sort of hopefully genius master plan to hack MLB pitching. I'm also hoping that the plan works, but guessing that it won't...

    The answer is simple: Ramos for Capps.

    Now we're talking!
  6. blindeke
    Well it's a start.
  7. blindeke
    No.

    Let's hope the pitching geniuses can work with this guy!

    I think about this comparison quite a bit. We are not a "small market" team...
  10. blindeke
    This is entirely correct.
  11. blindeke
    Agree. Very good.
  12. blindeke
    Let's dream on this! Put it together and take the division.

    What is the revenue money for if it is not for signing people to play for the team?
  14. blindeke
    They should sign Ottavino.

    This article gives me PTSD, just reading the names of those pitchers... [shivers]
  16. blindeke
    Great list.
  17. blindeke
    Well that was an epic ending...
  18. blindeke
    Go get DJ.

    Conclusion: he is not entirely terrible.

    "In fairness, the Twins aren't committed to Cron – they could cut him before the end of spring training at a negligible cost – but I suspect they wouldn't make this claim if they didn't (at least presently) intend to keep him." This is a crucial point from the article. Next week, the Front Office might waive him. We don't know... They are just stockpiling options, IMO. Let's wait to pull our hair out until he makes the Opening Day roster.

    Well, it can't hurt I guess.

    Let's all remember that the people who actually *play* baseball are very young, and getting younger all the time. Mauer just retired at the age of 35. Twenty-something world-class athletes have very different attitudes about the history of baseball than crusty fans.

    I've not been to the DR but have friends who have spent a lot of time there. It's very different from Minnesota, and paying off people or extorting them is a thing. We can only imagine how famous Sano might be in his impoverished hometown. Watching the Pelotero film, you begin to get a sense of that...

    Lovely writeup John. Thanks!
  25. blindeke
    His platoon splits are pretty balanced.
