    It's almost like you are on to something...

    Even the ump thought it was strike three
  6. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Those two are like the Falvey and Levine of clubhouse leadership
  7. Hosken Bombo Disco
    winning is funner
  8. Hosken Bombo Disco
    But helps if the player, umm, plays well.

    Drew Butera, Nick Punto, and Bobby Wilson walk into a bar. "Rings drink for free," said the bartender.
  10. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Possibly. That was an interesting anecdote by a poster upthread, though I am confident Mauer in his heart wants to keep playing. But I could see him being talked into retirement by his loved ones.
  11. Hosken Bombo Disco
    haha well, people were climbing on top of each other to praise the Logan Morrison signing, and Morrison was 30 with just one good season, ever, period.
  12. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Well, what I'm trying to say is if Joe Mauer didn't exist, but there was a player available in free agency this winter who is one year removed from an .800 OPS, still gets on base above average, plays gold glove defense, even at 36, and is open to a one year deal as platoon partner or bridge to Rooker, this place would eat that up. That signing would get high praise here.
  13. Hosken Bombo Disco
    well, not sure about Blue Jays, but if this was a different player not named Mauer, then probably yes? This site loves one-year deals -- never any downside to them. Unless it's Mauer.
  14. Hosken Bombo Disco
    If you can stomach the learning curve Sano would need to play first, then all the better. I don't think I can. I'd rather have Mauer hand off to Austin or Rooker after another season or two. Also, Sano is a wildcard himself.
  15. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Agree there must be a reasonable alternative to Mauer, but it just adds one more thing to do this offseason, for gains that are uncertain. (Think Morrison signing).
  16. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Hasnt Donaldson been hurt, with dead arm? Would Sano at 3B and Donaldson at 1B would be better than what you proposed? Don't know, just asking
  17. Hosken Bombo Disco
    So what are the alternatives at first if the front office cuts ties with Mauer?
  18. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Between 1B and DH (leadoff) and some PH, I see Mauer as a 3/4 time player. That's how he has been used in recent seasons so no need to change that. I really have no problem with that. I have come around 180 degrees on Mauer since 2013-2014 when he was not hitting and struggling to learn the position (more like 90 or 120, but whatever). If you insist he only be a half time player, then that works too. Mauer could be available to late PH and defense sub in more games. That has value. Mauer/Austin is the best platoon arrangement since Mauer moved to first. It's too much of a risk in my mind to confer 1B to Austin full time yet, or promote Rooker, or exercise Morrison's option and use a Morrison/Austin platoon. And we are talking one year contracts. I wouldn't fault the front office for balking at a multi-year deal request. Hope that helps.

    He's been working with Garver? *ba-dum tsch

    Funny story: ...(and by funny, I mean not that funny) I heard someone on the radio a few weeks ago (Atteberry, Molitor, don't remember) and they kept talking about what leadership Logan (Morrison I assumed) was showing by always coming to the park early, doing clubhouse stuff, "first to arrive last to leave" and all that, and then mentioning how he would go into Molitor's office to give him tips and share observations and whatnot. First thought: That's weird, Logan Morrison has only been here for one season, that's not his role. Second thought: Didn't Bud Norris and Mike Matheny get in trouble for that in St. Louis? Third thought: Oh my god, they are talking about Logan Forsythe, and, umm... huh?
  23. Hosken Bombo Disco
    This is the eternal question. The Twins were terrible 1994-2000, but they were also coming off a second World Series championship. So the KC Royals have not shown “sustainable” success, but they had two pretty damn exciting seasons mixed in there, 2014 and 2015. Which would you prefer?
  24. Hosken Bombo Disco
    secondary effects of the July 27 decision?

    Thanks for sharing and coming to this thread anyway — as a result I clicked it three times on three different devices
