    Did you check on Schwarber's performance in the NLCS last season?

    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.

    He will own that forever, and deservedly so!

    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.

    It was a spit take moment when I first heard that.
  8. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Honest question. What happened to Demry Croft? Why doesn't he play?
  9. 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.

    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.
  14. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I disagree.
  15. Hosken Bombo Disco
    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?
  16. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Milone-Hosmer...Molly gets the lefty-lefty matchup he wanted. (100% sarcasm)
  17. 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.
  18. Hosken Bombo Disco
    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. .
  19. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Are we winning yet?
  20. Hosken Bombo Disco
    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.
  21. Hosken Bombo Disco
    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.
  22. Hosken Bombo Disco
    speaking of...
  23. Hosken Bombo Disco
    yup. That, and call his own pitches, become a 50/40 fastball/slider guy, or something.
  24. Hosken Bombo Disco
    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.
  25. Hosken Bombo Disco
    That is pretty remarkable.
