    Agree completely, and I will raise you. Cody Allen was drafted in the 23rd round in 2011. He was in the major leagues the following season and was never demoted. I doubt the Twins have ever promoted a pitcher that fast. I would like to hear more from Falvey about what Cleveland saw in this guy to rush him through the minors like that. A 23rd rounder.

    Plouffe has lost his edge. Hard to get that back. Generous guy for sure, but I am not going to wish him well, since he does not seem to be hurting, right?
  5. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Maybe that is what they are describing. I don't know.

    No ill will towards Bruno, but I think this will go a long way towards relaxing the younger guys coming up. I would hear Bruno barking at Buxton between pitches of his at bat and think to myself: please stop.

    Mostly agree. The veteran comments from Falvey-Levine did not initially bother me; I figured it was an acknowledgement to Mauer and maybe Dozier. Levine gives us that quote about all those players in Texas who were leaders. I think what he is describing is chemistry, not leadership. You probably wouldn't find many clubhouses with four natural and equal co-leaders. What's ironic is he didn't mention Napoli, who was also on those Texas teams.
  8. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I hope Falvey-Levine work on improving the players we already have, than search far and wide for more veteran leadership.

    I personally like your idea of playing the best players, but that's just me. Do you have room for one more in the naive club?
  10. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I don't think a single person who predicted the Sano experiment to fail didn't already know that some players can make the position switch just fine.

    i don't remember the context in which I commented on Schwarber so I apologize if I derailed another discussion you were having. The Cubs played the odds with Schwarber in left throughout 2015 and it all caught up with them in the postseason.
  12. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Did you check on Schwarber's performance in the NLCS last season?
  13. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Falvey and Levine are both said to be people persons, but what if they don't get along with each other? And maybe Falvey's final words after accepting the Twins offer was "hire whoever else you want" which would kinda mean St. Peter is the actual PoBO, or maybe Cleveland suddenly reeled Falvey back in and Levine will be the new Twins PoBO? Intrigue!

    So this is a done deal?

    Actually (to my surprise) Boshers has been pretty good against lefties. With Rodgers and O'Rourke, that makes three good lefty specialists, though I don't know if you can realistically carry three such guys for long stretches. I would rank Rodgers the best of the group (if having the worst numbers). O'Rourke seems like he potentially has a wipe out slider like Miller's but it's too bad his fastball isn't a tich higher than 90. I can see protecting all those three.
  16. Hosken Bombo Disco
    He will own that forever, and deservedly so!
  17. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I think if the Twins were in a postseason series right now, you write Plouffe in as the third baseman. Easily. Going forward I just don't see it. Out with the old. I am open to the idea of trading Dozier or moving Mauer to left or third, but I just don't see either happening. I think this season taught us that cutting Mauer's innings in the field will keep him fresher and more productive.
  18. Hosken Bombo Disco
    It was a spit take moment when I first heard that.
  19. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Honest question. What happened to Demry Croft? Why doesn't he play?
  20. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Santana and then Rogers/O'Rourke tie for distant second. Those guys were tough on lefties and should be something to build on.
  21. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Ok, so being a bench coach in Major League Baseball must be something like Disney World for adults. It's basically just fun and games for six months, and if your team wins, you get to come back and do it again next year. There is no natural right to remain a coach on a team that just finished in last place again. Maybe coaches don't have much effect on the players, but that doesn't mean I want Neil Allen warning our pitchers against falling behind 1-0 in the count, or Brunansky standing next to Molitor in the dugout barking at Buxton between pitches of his at bat. It's true that you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear and that Neil Allen probably isn't the source of our pitching problems, but still.

    I am assuming it would be poor form to make an announcement with Cleveland still alive in the postseason. There is plenty of business to take care of before then, the Twins want continuity, so at this point I'm also assuming Antony is the GM this offseason or through 2017. Not necessarily a bad thing but we'll see.
  25. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I disagree.
