    I'm sure Milone is a great guy, but this is over, right? I mean, the three year flirtation has reached its foregone conclusion, right? Right?
  2. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Milone-Hosmer...Molly gets the lefty-lefty matchup he wanted. (100% sarcasm)
  3. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I'd vote for him in a heartbeat, but it might be too late to get on the ballot in some states.

    FYI: Schafer batted lead-off in his final game with the Lancaster Barnstormers back on May 31st. http://www.pointstreak.com/baseball/boxscore.html?gameid=328045 You're welcome. .

    Are we winning yet?

    Will this hire report to St. Peter--is that still the plan? If the Twins make an outside hire, I don't see what leverage they have insisting that Molitor remain manager. Personally I'd like to keep Molitor as an instructor. He got high marks for that.

    Will the Twins sniff the postseason in 2017? Doubtful, but this is still essentially the same team that sniffed it in 2015, minus Torii Hunter, Mike Pelfrey, and half a season of Glen Perkins. When spring training rolls around I will be drinking the kool aid again anyway, so I figure why not get a head start.

    speaking of...
  9. Hosken Bombo Disco
    yup. That, and call his own pitches, become a 50/40 fastball/slider guy, or something.

    Trading Santana this offseason does make a lot of sense. For me personally it gives the impression of forfeiting 2017, however, and I'd rather go into 2017 trying to win games and see what happens. There's too much raw talent here. You never know.
  11. Hosken Bombo Disco
    That is pretty remarkable.
  12. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Ervin, and maybe May. Pink slip Santiago and Milone. Let the others compete for starter jobs in spring training. The top priority the next couple years starting yesterday should be to cleanse the organization of its pitching personnel and philosophy, but yeah, a starting rotation will need to be filled out.
  13. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Infield defense is not great but Twins pitchers are worst in the AL in home runs allowed and line drive % Also, rotation thread.
  14. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Not trying to squash anyone's arguments here, because I think fielding percentage is important, but using it to evaluate defense is probably something like using batting average to evaluate offense, in my opinion. It gives you a general idea. A player got a lot of hits and hits are good. It won't tell you if a player got off to a cold start, like how Mauer was hitting below .300 in June 2006 and then a month later was at .392 or how Dozier got off to such a cold start this season. Average won't tell you how much speed or power a guy has. It won't tell you a player's injury history. It won't tell you how old he is. Also, to summon Moneyball, it won't even tell you his OBP necessarily. Fielding percentage gets a chair at the table for sure, but that's about it. Not the head chair by any stretch. IMO.
  15. Hosken Bombo Disco
    We get it. You hate Polanco and Sano. What's your solution?
  16. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Perhaps tongue in cheek, perhaps not, but I give you credit for offering an alternative plan!
  17. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Right. Fangraphs is free and on the open web so I used that. I think it still has a pretty good reputation.
  18. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I also am willing to keep the Polanco-SS experiment going into next year. No team has the luxury of waiting around for 3 full seasons of data to be collected before making a decision. Until Statcast is made for public use, Fangraphs is the best we got. I disagree that a Polanco-Sano left side would have poor range. Polanco has shown range on a few plays and Sano's range grades out really well. Assuming Plouffe is not around, I think a left side with those two would play right around average or slightly below over a long stretch, with its good moments and not so good moments. I think Dozier can continue at second just fine and we are good at first base. It's a myth that only Twins players make errors, though you'd never think that from reading the game threads. Infield, like the outfield, seems ok to me. It will be interesting to see who is calling the shots, and what they make of this.

    Nice article. There also looks like a slight wrist tuck to compensate for the finger.
