    Was grumpycat too mean? I don't want to seem mean.* * But, maybe you did not hear about the Urias rumor ashburyjohn was floating earlier

    And maybe the players weren't aware of that or were told it wouldn't matter.
  6. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I would guess the players are protesting because they had every reason to believe this issue was settled when the "I'm glad this is over" comment was made, and now they feel betrayed by the coach/AD/president or some combination thereof.

    However, it doesn't explain why we have 12 fingers and 12 toes......
  8. Hosken Bombo Disco
    "someone with knowledge of the situation" maybe?
  9. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I wouldn't have an oz. of courage to do that.

  11. Hosken Bombo Disco
    yes, I agree completely. Short interview but I loved everything Falvey said.
  12. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I think Yasiel Puig is good for the game but bringing him here is a bad idea. It would be fun to watch Molitor and Twins Daily posters grapple with the reality that is Puig. The highs and lows of Rosario and Sano will look downright boring compared to what this guy does on a daily basis.
  13. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I think even Jeter would disappoint a few here. Sometimes it seems like anyone lesser than Johnny Bench, Ryne Sandberg, or Brooks Robinson is a failure of leadership. /trolling The Twins are holding a better hand than people think. Mark my words.

    Thank you for driving the discussion!
  15. Hosken Bombo Disco
    yep, she nailed it. (should I be scared) Honestly, at SS I think we can string it along with Polanco or Escobar another season (we're not supposed to win more than 70 or so, right?) and actually Esco was above average in 2015 so maybe he recaptures that form. Pitching. As you know, there are roughly 29 other teams also trying to trade for quality pitching. There will be a trade for pitching at some point.
  16. Hosken Bombo Disco
    aahhh right. So catching was a top priority, easier to address, and maybe the new guys already had a good opinion of Castro and decided he would be the best fit, quick and easy to sign to boot. I can buy that. Pitching is a different beast and it's every team's top priority all the time every day, so maybe not an important distinction?
  17. Hosken Bombo Disco
    For all we know, there's a bidding war for Dozier going on. Why interrupt?
  18. Hosken Bombo Disco
    So they should have traded Dozier and Santana already, regardless of return? I'm sure you've negotiated things. It can be a courtship dance. If their top priority was to trade Dozier for whatever they could get, they could have done that by now.
  19. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I feel it's unrealistic to expect Falvey and Levine to be trading assets for quality pitching prospects before they even unpack their boxes and arrange their office furniture. Good trade opportunities come at other times in the year, too.
  20. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I am therefore assuming that these trade ideas coalescing are slightly unrealistic, and the Twins would either need to part with a prospect themselves or eat part of a problem contract.
  21. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I think the most you can quote is two.
  22. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Not a random event, nor do teams improve linearly from year to year, either. There is too much talent now, with or without Dozier, to continue pushing expectations out into future years. Pitching has been poor in the second Ryan era, I get that. The 2001 team was 20 games over .500 at the All Star break. The talent came together and they were very young.
  23. Hosken Bombo Disco
    There is also a 50/50 chance I will do a 180 on my position.
  24. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I know .00001% is exaggeration, but 1/3 of the teams make the postseason nowadays. So, closer to 33% chance. A mid-80s win pace gets you in the pennant chase most years.

    An automated strike zone wouldn't need to remove an umpire from behind home plate, or eliminate the need for the ump to call the balls and strikes.
