    I was hoping you would bump Barreiro but that works too. oh and I am agnostic about trading Dozier #OnTopic
  2. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Kershaw?
  3. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I'll be in my car listening at 4:30 in the afternoon, with that show on, purring like a kitten * also, catn't? ISWYDT
  4. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I am only available to listen between 4:30 and 5:30 so I am assuming that's when Cat Talk will go on the air.
  5. Hosken Bombo Disco
    He gone /hawk
  6. Hosken Bombo Disco
    yes, I agree completely. Short interview but I loved everything Falvey said.

    I think Yasiel Puig is good for the game but bringing him here is a bad idea. It would be fun to watch Molitor and Twins Daily posters grapple with the reality that is Puig. The highs and lows of Rosario and Sano will look downright boring compared to what this guy does on a daily basis.

    I think even Jeter would disappoint a few here. Sometimes it seems like anyone lesser than Johnny Bench, Ryne Sandberg, or Brooks Robinson is a failure of leadership. /trolling The Twins are holding a better hand than people think. Mark my words.

    Thank you for driving the discussion!

    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.
  11. 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?
  12. Hosken Bombo Disco
    For all we know, there's a bidding war for Dozier going on. Why interrupt?
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I think the most you can quote is two.
  17. 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.
  18. Hosken Bombo Disco
    There is also a 50/50 chance I will do a 180 on my position.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. Hosken Bombo Disco
    It's either that, or more of this

    I like the automated strike zone idea. I don't know the tech, but I imagine it could be implemented non-invasively and without any umpires losing their jobs. The home plate ump holds a clicker, and if the pitch passes through any part of the zone, the clicker vibrates. The ump calls a strike.
