I'm a huge Duffey fan, but there's no way Nolasco, Duffey, or Milone deserve another start right now.

was originally trying to make a joke about moving Mauer 7th in the batting order

Who wants the second inning? http://toc.h-cdn.co/assets/cm/14/37/980x635/540f80538c399_-_06-tcx-minnesota-twins-bullpen-0812-xl-lg.jpg

yah usually you don't want to throw all 100 in the first inning.

MLB is telling me the Duffmeister has gotten off to a typically Dufftastic start.

9th?

Rob Antony's voice mail greeting: "Leave me an offer, if it blows me away I will call you back." * everybody realizes we are just having fun, I hope
-
Another rule I hate is that all the other teams can make trades whenever they want, but the Twins are only allowed to make trades on the day of the deadline. I hate that.
-
Is even that allowed? For the Twins to trade for a prospect?
-
I can see it now. Rangers scout in Target Field last night, scouting Ervin Santana. Called Atlanta about Lucas Harrell instead. ...and they all lived happily ever after (except for the Twins fans)

So You Want to Make a Deal
Hosken Bombo Disco commented on nicksaviking's blog entry in nicksaviking blog
The fact that Antony has done essentially nothing in 9 going on 10 days is just head scratching. Not that I want him to make a splash, but I thought he would have made some moves of some kind. So I wonder what's up with that--does he have cold feet, does he have basically an identical picture of the team that Ryan did, is he privy to other information about who the next GM is going to be and doesn't want to disturb the cart (remember how some people pretty confidently claimed that Molitor was the only candidate to be the next manager). Either way, disappointing. Not even a Chargois call up yet. -
This Mauer thread is always second or third down on the forum list when I notice it. At this point I would be happy if the mods permanently pinned it 7th.

I went to Fangraphs, sorted all third baseman with 150 innings played in 2016. Small sample alert. Then I found the Out-of-Zone (OOZ) plays made, divided by innings played, multiplied by 9. Similar to how ERA is calculated. I am not sure how Fangraphs determines OOZ information. I was looking for an OOZ/9, or how many out of zone plays a player converted per nine innings. Plouffe did better than I expected with his hurt ribs but by this measure, you could argue Sano showed more range than Plouffe. (yes! i was right on the internet!) Out of 43 third baseman in MLB with 150 innings at third, Sano was 9th, Plouffe was 22nd, and league average falls between 16th and 17th. This is the highlighted column - sorry for the small print in image. This doesn't tell if Sano's range makes up for his errors, but it's still my opinion it does. Because I want to believe Especially if those are plays toward the line that Plouffe doesn't make well anymore, for example the double play ball Springer hit in Meyer's start that went for an RBI double. Sano's OOZ/9 was 0.457, league avg was 0.356, Plouffe was at 0.335. For comparison, Arenado has a 0.596 and Valencia has a 0.236 (which is not anywhere close to worst). Last season Plouffe was 0.41, the seasons before that he was 0.21, 0.18, 0.16, and Sano was 0.23 last season with 2 OOZ plays in 77 innings
