    12 games until the trade deadline. 6 vs playoff teams and 6 vs cellar dwellers. To get to .500 they need to go 7-5.

    The Twins don't have an Eduardo Tait in the system
  3. DJL44
    Can we do a bait-and-switch on all the teams who want Duran and Jax and sell them Brock Stewart and Danny Coulombe instead?

    He is in the lineup

    $4 tickets were too good to pass up so I ended up a the Saints game last night. It was "bring your dog" night but my dog is very bad around other dogs, very old and struggling with the smoke in the air so he stayed home. Jonah Bride was good on both sides of the ball, made a couple good defensive plays. I was excited to see Emmanuel Rodriguez. He has a very explosive swing. The first hit he had pinballed off first base (the actual base) and the umpire before ending up in RF. Unfortunately, I think he hurt himself swinging and missing in his second at-bat. That usually means a core injury. Trent Baker was not good; he kept falling behind batters at the bottom of the Cubs' order. Gillispie was meh but he threw strikes. Jose Miranda looks lousy. His batting average has slipped below .200 now. He's not squaring up pitches consistently and when he does they go right to a fielder. McCusker has a lot of levers to pull in the same direction but when he makes contact it is loud. Eeles must live in the weight room when he's not on the field. His lower half is huge for his height. Sabato missed a backhand scoop on a ball in the infield. Not an easy chance, but something a top fielding 1B would have converted. He's at the right level for his development - no reason to rush him. Gasper had a nice block behind the plate, otherwise I hardly noticed him which is good for a catcher. I didn't get to see Austin Martin. Does he get Saturday nights off?

    There are a few more - reach on error, fielder's choice, catcher's interference (the tough one to get) https://sabr.org/journal/article/was-there-a-seven-way-game-seven-ways-of-reaching-first-base/ If Buxton hadn't put up a cycle himself the story would have been the team cycle in the 2nd inning.

    It was a bit weird to see Genesis Cabrera entering in the middle innings. A guy named Genesis should clearly be a starter. If he's going to work in relief he needs to change his name to Matthew, Mark, Luke or John.

    Clemens is fine and they also have Keaschall and Lee who can play multiple positions.
  9. DJL44
    Plays like these are why I want to sell Castro at the deadline
  10. DJL44
    Is Correa going on the IL? He'd be eligible to return for the Dodgers series and would only miss 5 games.
  11. DJL44
    He's a sex offender. I did some dumb stuff when I was younger, but I managed to grow up without becoming a sex offender.

    Pulling Skenes after 5 innings is just proof that Pittsburgh is tanking.
  13. DJL44
    Does that mean the front office will have to work over the trade deadline? That's the best week to go to the lake.
  14. DJL44
    Yesavage has some high upside. That would be hard to turn down for a reliever.
  15. DJL44
    This is worth tracking as the season progresses. Thanks for giving me something to root for.
  16. DJL44
    I believe he was signed as a minor league free agent this past offseason. In that respect, he's already been released once by the Twins and brought back as a "project". The odds of success for a prospect who reaches minor league free agency (seven seasons in the minors without being added to a 40-man roster) are not good.
  17. DJL44
    In the near-term they need to win 9 of their next 15 games just to reach .500 by the trade deadline.
  18. DJL44
    The bullpen could look different in 2 weeks.
  19. DJL44
    Misiewicz is less interesting than Funderburk. This does give Travis Adams an opportunity to stick around after Zebby Matthews returns.
  20. DJL44
    What's the upside on Eeles? Below average second baseman? That's the kind of player you use when they're cheap and non-tender in their 2nd arb year.
  21. DJL44
    Joe Ryan's first year of arbitration was $3M. Raises are rarely more than double. Zac Gallen got CYA votes in three different seasons and his arb pay has been $5M/$10M/$13.5M. Do the Twins really need to cut loose multiple players so they can afford to pay Joe Ryan $7M next season and $14M the season after that?
  22. DJL44
    Painter, Miller and Tait sounds like a good start. Throw in Abel or Chace and we have a deal. Ryan has more surplus value than Santana did when the Twins traded him.
  23. DJL44
    How many playoff teams have three top 100 prospects to start the bidding?
  24. DJL44
    I would vote no on all of them except Gossage. Billy Wagner as a Hall of Famer while Johan Santana can't get 5% of the vote is a sick joke. Santana was at least twice as valuable as Wagner. Maybe if Santana had pitched less effectively he could have stayed in the bullpen and made it to the Hall of Fame.
  25. DJL44
    Stewart has a long history of injury. He might pitch until the end of his team control and he might throw the last pitch of his career before the season ends.
