    The Edwin Jackson comparison is interesting. Both Nolasco and Jackson signed 4 year deals (into their 30s) for about the same amount of money, both stunk it up for two years as a starter, the second year being worse than the first year, and now Nolasco enters his third year. Here is how Jackson was used in his third year: strictly relief, and mostly mop up duty. He made no starts. The Cubs were 4-19 in the games Jackson pitched in. Two of those wins were extra inning wins he pitched the 10th and 12th inning. The Cubs then released him in late July to clear roster space I assume. This is how I want/expect the Twins to use Nolasco. They aren't going to cut him right away. Maybe the best case scenario is that Nolasco is pressed into spot start duty and makes the best of it for a half dozen starts. He's just not good enough to catch fire and make himself appealing to any other organization for the salary he is owed.

    exactly. You can't just see it the first time and move on after that.

    Four more primaries tonight. Is Rubio opening that can of whup-ass? Can't wait to find out!

    I'm also interested in the velocity of the pitches Park is hitting over the fence. Any of them 93-95 or higher? If so, I will wager he's good to go!

    Two losses today, but looking at the box scores, mostly good news all around. Gotta love spring training games!

    This is not the type of information I came to this thread to read!

    ESPN has somehow become truly loathesome. It's too bad because their commercials were second to none and SportsCenter was appointment television. They were a pioneer.

    Tim Lincecum threw closer to 99 than 89 when he first came up.

    The great thing is that Kirby was all those things even before that Game 6!

    Pohlad cares about the Twins? The contraction guy? In all seriousness, you are right. The idea is to put each player in the best position to succeed, and to field the best possible line up. Not sure that's happening as it relates to Sano in RF, but we'll see.

    Thanks for the Arcia nugget. He can make plays, though a majority posters here refuse to believe that!

    Great reflections. Setting aside everything else, Kirby was also a guy who collected hits in bunches. There hasn't been anyone in MLB quite like him since. During that 1987 season there was a weekend series in Milwaukee where, over two games, Kirby went 10-11 with 4 home runs.

    Has Berardino said anything about when Burdi hits Target Field?
  16. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I think you are probably right.

    Today apparently, Trump rescinded his vow to kill the families of terrorists. What a great guy, I know. But maybe it's a small sign that he will change his position when presented with facts and given time to think. Part of me wonders if he isn't treating this like a business deal. He's saying all the things the Republican base wants to hear so he can close the sale. What if Trump wins the nomination, cleans up his language, and then positions himself as a moderate against Hillary? ..Again, not excusing him and there's basically zero chance I will vote for him.

    I love Buxton. You can tell he is going to be good. Have we decided on a nickname yet? Buxtonsie just doesn't quite roll off the tongue for me.
  19. Hosken Bombo Disco
    That also sounds like a good thing.........
  20. Hosken Bombo Disco
    That sounds like a good thing!

    My god. God bless him and his family.

    I'm sure Nolasco is giving his best effort and wants to do well, but yeah, I don't know if his heart is into being a Twins pitcher here, given all that's happened the past couple years and how the pitching staff is shaping up with talent.
  23. Hosken Bombo Disco
    The Twins have looked good tonight. Park and Mauer had good at bats and Escobar got a ton of ground balls, converting all of them. Nolasco was Nolasco but thankfully he is no longer considered a key contributor to rely on. Cheers to game threads in 2016!

    I expect this to be discussed ad nauseum tomorrow. An average right fielder catches it* *with the caveat that it was hit about 700 miles per hour EDIT: 7,000 mph

    I'm resigned to him starting in AAA. I just don't want to see more than a handful of starts from Berrios in AAA, say 3 or 4 at most. There is a logic to it, though I don't agree with it.
