    No. Everything about that comment says that Molitor is making this decision. Like I said, it wouldn't surprise me if Falvey and Levine are hands off this spring. It wouldn't thrill me but it would in fact explain a lot.
  2. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Well, neither of us know for sure, but there is a certain logic to Falvey and Levine deferring to Molitor this spring, given that Molitor (despite his biases) knows the players better and has the blessing of ownership to continue managing this season.. at least through April. Also from the original post: Honest question: what is ambiguous to you about this?
  3. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I would lock up Buxton and I think he would be open to that conversation. I would wait on Mark Reyno--- I mean, Sano. I love the guy, don't mind his defense, but with those whiffs, it could still go downhill for him.
  4. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I also think Hughes is stashable in the bullpen
  5. Hosken Bombo Disco
    lost to.. Hughes? Yes I think Berrios should be in the majors. Period. I get that there will be an opening in the rotation soon for some reason or another. If it's true they are only sending him down to stretch him out, then they can easily put a date on his return or name exactly how many starts he will make in Rochester before being called back up. Does that help you understand where I'm coming from?
  6. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Yes indeed. I am relieved that the b.s. is coming from the mouth of Molitor and the holdovers, and not the new guys.
  7. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Yes. However your last statement bothers me, because we already know Berrios can succeed at AAA. He shouldn't need to prove it over and over. And maybe Meyer's career takes a different turn if he was promoted in 2014 when he was pitching well. But what really bothers me about the Berrios situation is the phony "competition" he was in for the fifth spot, when evidence indicates they had their minds made up before spring training started. Reminds me too much of the Trevor May competition last spring.
  8. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Thanks for filling in the gaps on the Berrios demotion. It's interesting how Falvey and Levine seem to be letting Molitor take the reins this spring.
  9. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Berrios has been looking forward to pitching in the WBC for three years. I doubt he sprung this on the Twins at the last moment.
  10. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Surprised? Nope. I don't think that's the word you are looking for.
  11. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I forgot you are in Florida trying to have fun, so I will drop it "Berrios is not stretched out" is one of those perfectly reasonable sounding things that, actually, doesn't hold up as well when you scrutinize it. Molitor has already implied that Berrios wouldn't be able to "get his work in" and I was wondering if someone with the Twins told that to Bonnes directly this morning. That's all. I mean, I'm not disagreeing, I'm just asking for more information, because it sounds too much like Twins-speak. I think Berrios would be just fine getting stretched out for a 75-90 pitch start on April 8 or thereabouts.

  13. Hosken Bombo Disco
    The Twins Daily report.
  14. Hosken Bombo Disco
    There is a lot of opinion here; that's fine. I expect you will be in the vast majority on this decision. I will wait for the more detailed report.
  15. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Berrios has pitched in four games, I think, and I would guess Hughes has pitched in four or five. If we are going to count Hughes's Milb scrimmage, then we should probably count whatever work Berrios did between March 12 and March 23. Did he through a good bullpen in that time? I have no idea. That's where I'm going with this. I doubt very much that Hughes has pitched "many more" innings than Berrios. It would be nice to get some more information.
  16. Hosken Bombo Disco
    But that's my question. Are we talking about innings Berrios has pitched in games? How much game work has Hughes had? Bonnes made it sound like there was an informal press conference so that's why I am wondering. I don't think that explanation holds. At least not by itself.
  17. Hosken Bombo Disco
    yes, seriously.
  18. Hosken Bombo Disco
    To whom can we attribute this explanation?
  19. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I get that, but the tricky thing with the so-called "third pitch" is maybe most starts you don't need to throw it but a couple of times. Duffey pitched well enough at the end of 2015 and is young enough that we should extend him some more rope imo.
  20. Hosken Bombo Disco
    All true. It's just so hard to watch a guy like Berrios pitch so well in the minors for so long.
  21. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Chargois could have helped his case by not getting hit so hard. I would love to see Berrios and Duffey in the opening day rotation. If they can't get on track after a half dozen starts, you send them to AAA. As soon as they string together 2-3 good starts or get their mechanics back or whatever, call them back up. That's what option years are for. I never understood why the Twins turned that formula on its head. And if Berrios and Duffey start in the rotation and do well, all the better.
  22. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Adrianza is a must-keep, in my opinion. I don't mind average or slightly below average fielding, but if Polanco's bat goes cold or he gets hurt, the Twins have no better option than Adrianza. I love Escobar but Polanco is probably the better player.
  23. Hosken Bombo Disco
    A little disappointed he didn't cite Parker's articles. Sometimes I think these national writers just stick their noses in their data and don't do much surfing for other information.

    The wide diversity of necktie colors is impressive. Red, blue, purple.... https://twitter.com/VP/status/844977432713146370/photo/1

    I love that high zone whiff rate. It will be worth watching Santiago's starts just to hear Bert say he needs to keep the ball down.
