    Run schafer!

    Boom goes May. His outings are an example of how not to succeed at pitching. Good stuff, but he is a terrible pitcher.
  3. alskntwnsfn
    Scott Van Slyke would be awesome. He is a great hitter. I hope TR has at least inquired.
  4. alskntwnsfn
    seasons not over yet.

    As a group, I'd probably take their top 3 over anybody else's in mlb. That's what I meant. Only thing they lack is a quality loogy, unless Tim Collins gets back on track quickly. Doesn't really matter with Davis and Herrera though.

    Bummer.
  7. alskntwnsfn
    I think the Royals have the best pen in the game. Anyone I'm forgetting?

    Johan
  9. alskntwnsfn
    I hope so too, they have not been as good as their era. Plus we've already hitched our Wagon to the starters.
  10. alskntwnsfn
    Not a good night for our pen. They were due for some regression though.
  11. alskntwnsfn
    Good pitch but guaranteed fastball there. Not well hit but still.
  12. alskntwnsfn
    Still more than Mauer I'm sure.
  13. alskntwnsfn
    Davis is filthy.
  14. alskntwnsfn
    Too early to call him Cy Hendriks
  15. alskntwnsfn
    That's what happens when the ump sets up way inside.
  16. alskntwnsfn
    It was a ball by a lot, but yeah he got the call.
  17. alskntwnsfn
    ballin.
  18. alskntwnsfn
    Ibanez is my pick to click.
  19. alskntwnsfn
    I'm going to catch on with someone else, and every time I pitch against you I'm going to shove it, up, your... Hendricks?
  20. alskntwnsfn
    What's the bid for drinks with Marney?
  21. alskntwnsfn
    Pretty sure vandalism is not a great way to get into college. #knowhowNOTtogo

    He is way faster (and better base stealer) than either of those guys and he makes way more contact. You realize he's hitting 300/400/411 for us in 19 games, right? And is 8-9 in stolen base attempts. He has 8 K's! Defensive stats (#grainofsalt) say he's saved runs in LF too. That's a pretty useful starter if he can keep it up.

    They probably won't have to worry about this until next June or July. Let's see how the rest of this year goes and where Plouffe and Sano are at come next year. It would be pretty hard for Sano to do better than Plouffe defensively this year, he is one of the best at barehanding bunts. Plus, who knows if Sano's arm will be ready to handle 3B. Lots of unanswered questions. I want to see Sano ASAP too, but unless he has a monster spring it's probably not going to happen until June-ish. You could give him some reps in LF this spring, just in case they're both raking and we need to squeeze them in the lineup.

    There were some plays in this last series that could have really helped out the staff. Some were errors, some were tough plays that weren't made. It's too much to expect perfection from any defense, but they could be doing more. The tools are out there, they just gotta execute. You're not going to find better hitters and better fielders than we already have for reasonable money through free agency. At some point, as a pitcher, you've got to strike somebody out when you need it. Can't expect your defense to make every close play, all the time. About the only place we could improve is on Danny Santana in CF. He's certainly fast enough and has a great arm, but on some of those long doubles he has trouble right at the end. That's just repetition though. He'll get better the more he's out there, but maybe spending today with the jugs machine wouldn't be a bad idea, though I'm sure they are all pretty tired after the last several days. Arcia too. He made a bad decision on diving for that ball in front of him and it cost us. Overall he just has to learn to when to let it rip and when to just take what the game gives him (at the plate and in the field). If he learns to do that, watch out, he could be unreal.
