  1. this, I mean, who plays 3B when Sano doesn't for 15-20 games next year if not him?
  2. of course it's possible. It's also possible any value the Twins got from Kintzler this year doesn't matter to making the playoffs or not (likely, even), and possible Watson provides some when it is needed in the future (not super likely), but he has 4-6 years to try.
  3. There is an article on FG (and lots of comments) on trading Verland, btw...
  4. It would create interesting discussions around the league, I'd think, and elsewhere, about their decisiveness.
  5. Someone with managerial experience. Someone with MLB experience, either as a player, coach, or manager I have softened on my desire for someone from the outside, as nick pointed out Someone that is open to new ideas, and wants to work with non-field staff on improving how his job is done Someone that speaks Spanish would be a plus for me, though not needed
  6. well done!
  7. no. I don't think they will be buying.
  8. iirc, he's also a big musical/stage guy, not sure if that is on imdb or not....
  9. because imo.... they aren't making the playoffs this year Garver is part of the future, and Gimenez is not players tend to go up and down, so getting that process started now means it is more likely he is more ready sooner next year I don't know what to expect, and neither does anyone else until he actually plays in the majors, so gather data I don't expect anyone to agree, nor am I trying to convince anyone, you asked why I (and others) want him here. Those are why.
  10. Delmon Young: so far ahead physically (and exposure to MLB players and coaches) when young, with little room for maturity=over rated player by scouts/every one.
  11. agree with Seth, leave no stone unturned. Just don't wait too long to make some decisions....
  12. goes way back. When his site was growing, and he literally said he wanted more interactions and conversations, I really ramped up posting (like here, since none of my friends really like baseball). He mocked me for that on a chat. Then he mocked me on a podcast for suggesting anyone would want to see them do one live, then did one live a month later......so, ya, mock your fans. Good idea.
  13. I'm reading the first collection of Neil Gaiman's Sandman graphic novels. Great stuff so far. Also reading Broken Sword, and older fantasy novel. Not sure I love it....
  14. me neither, but we are reasonably sure that Vargas isn't good/great at this point. And Vargas offers ZERO positional flexibility.
  15. they weren't nice clothes, or were you asking the other way?
  16. he can play first. He can play the OF if they have to PH. He can just PH. He can catch if they want to, you know, pinch hit for a catcher at some point.....
  17. It really is amazing how good he is. Like, all time great amazing.
  18. I really don't understand this Vargas over Garver decision at all.
  19. options? On a 26 year old? ugh. this is frustrating, greatly frustrating* *I mean, as frustrating as a decision about a backup/bench player can be.
  20. sigh. I might have to break my embargo of Gleeman and listen.....didn't he also comment on Garver? Did he explain why Garver is not up?
  21. and i did wear clothes while working from home, so it wasn't that kind of streak after all...
  22. Not my choice, but I suspect he'll be the one. all that veteran presence and whatnot.
  23. sure there is. You don't need 8 RPs every game. You just don't. There is plenty of room for him right now. Free Garver. As for the hitters in the last section, not one is all that exciting. And I doubt very much Goodrum is on a roster for more than a week or two at a time.
