    Zonk 10:31 Didn't Fangraphs post an article entitled "Don't give up on Byong Ho Park". So then what do the Twins do? Exactly that. Jeff Sullivan 10:31 They must really not think he'll get over his injuries

    NatsFan 10:27 Byung-Ho Park just got DFA'd. Discuss. Potential 1B depth for Nats? Jeff Sullivan 10:28 Looks like Dave put up a post about this. At least the first part. Good! Korean players continue to get way too little respect.

    How many years does he have to hit badly, run badly, and field badly, before we realize he's bad?
  4. Mike Sixel
    They are not ranked all that high compared to other systems. Looking at their system compared to others....I would hope you'd be in the top 5 or so, after this much losing, not 11th or worse (fangraphs or BA has said they'll be in the bottom third, IIRC). None of what you typed compares them to other systems. We'll see where they sit in a few weeks or so.....for KLAW, MiLB, FG and BA, but I would hope it would be higher, given the losing. YMMV, of course.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Well, are you are sure he's better than what they had? Are you sure they could not have DFAd Dan San, or another RP that won't now make the roster?

    Ray Of Light 10:22 Will De Leon be a sold #3 or #4 for TB this year? Jeff Sullivan 10:22 I'd say No. 3 results plus a stint in the minors or on the DL
  7. Mike Sixel
    I recently asked if Grossman could play 1B and DH, this is all my fault. Sorry everyone.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Over three years? I am no longer sure that is the case.

    Dave Cameron...not a fan: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/the-twins-quit-on-byung-ho-park/ money quote: One could reasonably argue that the Twins should have kept him around and hoped to find enough playing time to be the team that got some value out of a potential improvement, but since they just had to have Matt Belisle pitching the seventh inning in a non-contention year, some other franchise will now get to make a bet on Park’s cheap upside.

    I'll say this again, I don't think he gets claimed, and he's in AAA to start the year. But, I'd rather not take that risk, and would rather risk losing Dan San instead. Not certain this team should be getting older at this point in the rebuild..... edit: Dave Cameron has convinced me, he won't be a Twin at $3MM a year....someone will claim him.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Can the sports bar be above the other parts in the list of forums? It gets much more action, and the order matters on limited screens....
  12. Mike Sixel
    I do agree, likely he isn't claimed.
  13. Mike Sixel
    They DFAd him for a 36 year old RP.....and if you mean Dan San, sure, he can put on a glove, but he's demonstrated that compared to a replacement level player, he's a bad fielder and base runner and hitter....
  14. Mike Sixel
    CamdenWarehouse 10:00 Park was DFA'd! Jeff Sullivan 10:00 I'm just going to keep adding these comments to the transcript Feels like this is where the Rays should pounce
  15. Mike Sixel
    I replied that, and he did say I guess.....

    mike sixel 9:52 The Twins DFAd Park to sign a 36 year old RP.... Jeff Sullivan 9:52 I will continue to say that I hate this
  17. Mike Sixel
    Kevin 9:47 BYUNG HO PARK DFA'd Jeff Sullivan 9:47 First impression: I hate this DFA'd for Matt Belisle? 9:48 As always, I have to note that the Twins know more than I do. Maybe Park isn't recovering very well from his injuries. Maybe he's a complete ass. But I hate this
  18. Mike Sixel
    Exchange with Eno Sarris on Twitter: eno: We gave Vargas the DH job on the podcast last night. mike sixel: and yet Dan San has a job eno: can play a position I guess

    if the Twins get a Dillon Tate type for Park, Vargas, or a newly signed DH type, I'll be very pleasantly surprised.
  21. Mike Sixel
    10-15 years? No way. It didn't take CLE that long, since we know the tools didn't even exist then. This can show immediate payback.
  22. Mike Sixel
    You can flip a DH only type at the deadline? Has that happened lately? And, if Park is good, can't you flip him at the deadline? And, we care about "guaranteed" performance in a rebuilding year more than finding out what Park can do, or Vargas (if they sign someone)?
  23. Mike Sixel
    Hence him saying IF....and making him a sleeper, not some certain thing.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Since there is a new thread, which I agree with, btw..... I'd give the FO an F on signing a 36 YO RP, and DFAing a 29 year old 1B/DH. Also, keeping Dan San so far....he can neither hit nor field nor steal bases? Uh, wut?
  25. Mike Sixel
    Punto was a much better player. But yes.
