  1. Are you suggesting he doesn't? Are you answering my question? I am coming up with some data which I will share in a minute.
  2. I plead guilty to "wanting to believe" like the article suggested, and I admit that fielding metrics have flaws, but realistically, who is the best third baseman right now, and who is the best third baseman going forward? In comparison to Plouffe, what Sano gives away in easy plays missed, he more than makes up for in range and arm strength. Yes? No?
  3. Great article. Sano draws 3-2 full counts in a quarter of his plate appearances, so of course he strikes out a lot. He also OPSes 1.066 on full counts. Please do not try to fix this strikeout problem!
  4. Not sure, seems like August 2 is an artificial date to me, with no natural bearing on Berrios's development. If it's an administrative burden to promote him before that day, then that's another problem.
  5. The problem is the Twins analytics department seems to have minimal influence on roster construction or on what happens on the field night after night. From here in the cheap seats, it looks like a mess.
  6. True, it's that every fifth day that Berrios pitches that gives him the most problems?
  7. No solid contact allowed, even on his off days. Because as Quade said, "you have to do it day in and day out."
  8. Which happens first: Berrios call up, or Sano demotion?
  9. Agree. He can make the difficult play, which I wish people would acknowledge. The rest of it could be just a matter of maturity and a little hard work, and those are things that can be fixed.
  10. Well, look on the bright side. The Twins will use Sano's error to justify giving Milone another couple starts!
  11. I think the issue is we have no other catchers!
  12. Did you mean, Cheetoh? http://assets.nydailynews.com/polopoly_fs/1.2548864.1456849115!/img/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/article_750/gop-2016-trump.jpg
  13. Meanwhile, come back is in progress...
  14. As we wait out another replay, we can discuss ways to speed up the game...
  15. well yeah, Sano to DH. Given the rest of the roster, then what?
  16. Sano is under a microscope but he is my guy without a hesitation or doubt. I never cared for Plouffe at third but admit that Plouffe did become pretty good there after being given a couple of seasons. But according to Fangraphs, Sano is already a better fielder than Plouffe right now. I'd part ways with Plouffe as soon as possible to signal to Sano that the third base job is his. Then hopefully Sano comes back to spring training next season a little better than last. And of course if Sano doesn't make strides at third he can move to first or DH when those positions open up in another year or two. I think trying to find playing time for Plouffe going forward is the wrong way to look at the team and I hope I'm on the same page as the present and future GM.
  17. Away they have been put! until tomorrow, anyway
