    Adrianza plays mostly shortstop, and apparently plays it very well. I might read those comments as smoke signals about the imminent release of one of the other players who plays those positions. Time shall tell.
  4. Hosken Bombo Disco
    It will be funny to hear Joe Buck try to pronounce his name at the All Star game next July.
  5. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I would assume Falvey/Levine think so.
  6. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Dick lied?
  7. Hosken Bombo Disco
    This guy can catch the ball. I like the move. We don't need every player to be a masher at the plate. Small sample but Fangraphs loves his UZR/150.
  8. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Concur. When you lost your tackle in the fourth quarter and brought in Compton as backup, I texted a friend and said "watch #76 - he is a kid who grew up in the Twin Cities (Rosemout) and played at South Dakota." It was Compton who looked fresh and made his blocks, while it was the other guys who got Ryan in trouble. Though to New England's credit they were harassing Ryan on and off all night.

    Weighted ball training sounds fantastic. I also wonder what is the ideal hand or finger size for throwing certain pitches, like how we read about Berrios tipping his change or maybe certain other pitchers should give up on their split finger.
  10. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I would think you were on to something, except for the above poster's quote from 1500. My impression is that Cleveland has carried 13 pitchers more often than other teams, though I don't know how much Falvey had to do with that.
  11. Hosken Bombo Disco
    This might pave the way (so to speak) for his home state's bright future in real estate!
  12. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Not surprised, since he's not allowed to grab them by the pussy anymore (stupid rules grumble grumble).
  13. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Don't forget his ability to enter a game late and get thrown out attempting to steal D-San is not long for this roster, otherwise if he has another blah spring and does make the roster anyway, I am putting on my tin foil hat and assuming Falvey is testing Molitor to see how he uses him.
  14. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Good article. I agree with all of it. The positional redundancies have been frustrating and Park's acquisition last offseason only made things more confusing. D-San doesn't really represent a redundancy as much as just a player not good enough to hang in MLB, so guess not so worried about going to camp with him. Hopefully Molitor has sobered up with regard to his value to the team (starting SS, or not batting him second in the order Opening Day) As someone pointed out, as a deep bench guy Santana has more value than Park.
  15. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I feel your pain but nothing about what was described above screams "trick" or "magic" to me.
  16. Hosken Bombo Disco
    In fairness, that's probably not a recent picture of her.
  17. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Belisle will be fine. He's not here to save the season. The Twins have some young arms to play with. Falvey was one of the minds responsible for the Cleveland plan to shut down Toronto in the ALCS, and the pitchers executed very well. Cody Allen was a 20th round pick who raced through the Cleveland system, never optioned back to the minors after his debut, and became closer shortly after. They acquired Andrew Miller, enough said. Again I need to give the new front office and analytics guys the benefit of the doubt in figuring out how to put these bullpen guys in positions to succeed.
  18. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Ryan was fired because it was becoming apparent to Pohlad that Ryan was no longer up to the job, and a new set of eyes was needed. It was also becoming clearer to Pohlad that the analytic style and successes of younger GMs was no longer a fluke. To top it off, last season's team, right out of the gate, was almost purposefully assembled to lose 90 games. Trevor May was kept in the bullpen. Sano was put in the outfield (but in hindsight probably had some maturing to do anyway). Nolasco over Duffey, while Duffey finished 2015 pretty impressively. Opening day we went with Buxton and he wasn't ready; disappointing but not unexpected. Perkins was hurt but wouldn't tell anyone. Then you had the disappointing decisions of Molitor in that opening week: using Jepsen in tight spots, using D. Santana as a starting outfielder at the top of the order, not to mention some odd in-game decisions that I don't necessarily recall at the moment. Arcia was a train wreck (I was wrong about him) though in his defense he was never really allowed to settle into a routine. Ryan's big acquisition was JR Murphy who didn't exactly start out hot, and a bunch of other guys had slow starts too. When the team was sitting 8-20 in early May, the release of Casey Fein and demoting a couple other relievers was billed as a major overhaul of the roster, or some such. It obviously wasn't enough. In those following weeks was about the time Pohlad started sending hints to Ryan. Last season's team, simply was bungled to perfection. You don't agree?
  19. Hosken Bombo Disco
    You speak far too kindly of him.
  20. Hosken Bombo Disco
    It was an earlier post today. I apologize. I am not trying to be confrontational, I just genuinely don't get it. We had multiple trustworthy reporters with inside sources who do this for a living tell us (among other things) that the Dodgers would not offer Alvarez.
  21. Hosken Bombo Disco
    You also pretty much claimed that the national media have no sources.
  22. Hosken Bombo Disco
    there is a difference between a leak and a report. Leak: someone like Doogie Wolfson says he hears the Cardinals are very interested in Dozier Report: someone like Berardino says "according to *sources*, Alvarez was not on the table." See what I mean? There were leaks, but there were also many, many reliable reports during this whole episode.
  23. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Fascinating.
  24. Hosken Bombo Disco
    How about what was not offered?
  25. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Why do you put so little stock in the reporting of Passan, Rosenthal, Heyman, Neal, Berardino, and a handful of other Dodgers and Twins reporters with close ties to their teams?
