    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.
  2. 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?

    For all we know, there's a bidding war for Dozier going on. Why interrupt?
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I think the most you can quote is two.
  8. 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.
  9. Hosken Bombo Disco
    There is also a 50/50 chance I will do a 180 on my position.
  10. 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.
  11. Hosken Bombo Disco
    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.
  12. Hosken Bombo Disco
    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?
  16. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Maybe that is what they are describing. I don't know.
  17. Hosken Bombo Disco
    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.
  18. Hosken Bombo Disco
    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.
  19. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I hope Falvey-Levine work on improving the players we already have, than search far and wide for more veteran leadership.
  20. Hosken Bombo Disco
    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?
  21. 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.
  22. Hosken Bombo Disco
    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.
  23. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Did you check on Schwarber's performance in the NLCS last season?
  24. 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!
  25. Hosken Bombo Disco
    So this is a done deal?
