  1. Odds are always a hitter will make an out. Always. You don't give away outs in inning 2. Simple math.
  2. Never give up an out in the 2nd inning. Simple math, people.
  3. A sacrifice in the 2nd inning? Terrible decision. Awful strategy.
  4. Plouffe is a top 10 3B......I just don't get moving him. Maybe RF or 1B.....maybe. SS? What?
  5. He is not good now. Erase your memory of the good player, and compare to players now.......he does poorly in the comparison.
  6. Just. Say. No. Try the internal guys first.
  7. Good golly, stop the concussion talk already in this thread.
  8. It is a well known fact that the 3rd time thru the order is bad.....which is why some teams use their bullpen the way they do.
  9. As long as they are over 500.....Escobar should be the SS. He is just better right now.
  10. Corner OF defense does not matter. .....
  11. Thanks, I thought we might go one thread this week without that being posted. I feel better now.
  12. I don't care at all about the ASG......but Dozier should be there.
  13. Let the young guys play. Well, except Santana.
  14. I am becoming a believer in Milone.
  15. Hunter....providing leadership on how to hit......that was disappointing
  16. Won't SD want more than they gave up? Didn't they fire their manager for not winning now? I don't get why they would trade him, w/o a huge overpay.
  17. One stat, imo, doesn't usually tell much of a story......
  18. Still not a buyer on Hicks. There just is not evidence he can hit. Maybe he will, but so far, he isn't. Defensively he looks better this time around, that's very nice, and often undervalued. And looking at minor league career numbers, and not comparing AA numbers? That seems.......like cherry picking stats to make a point.
  19. So, basically, they have no catcher at the MLB level, AAA level, or AA level........and they are hoping this guy can get lucky, I think that's where we are right now. They also appear to have no RP, as there are constant rumors of them trading for one (ugh) from the local beat writers (aka, Twins PR machine). Let's hope this guy gets lucky for awhile.......
  20. I think people have timing and causation issues here...........as Mississippi and Alabama and others cut spending relative to the rest of the world's increases, as they teach non-science, as they do what they can to dumb down the populace, that is the fault of the Fed's trying to stop them? Not buying it at all.
  21. Let's hope he plays him more.....Suzuki isn't all that good, and appears to be wearing down.
  22. Swarzak seems a long time ago.....Hendriks, sure, I'll give you that, of course, it proves my point that the Twins should maybe convert starters to RP sooner.......but ya, I'll give you Hendriks. Admittedly, that could change in the next few weeks, I am actually hopeful for some of these guys, maybe moreso than the Twins seem to be.
  23. Five, compared to Rogers ever being 5.........what are the odds Rogers is ahead of him for more than a start here and there? As you point out, Rogers is behind A LOT of people, not counting Berrios and Stewart and Hu and Gonsalves.......
  24. True. They have done it in the past, my point was.....putting him in the bullpen this year means nothing for his long term future. Except maybe he has a chance to make the bigs sooner......It doesn't ruin him. It doesn't doom him to the bullpen forever.
