  1. I have no idea how to judge their character.... But on the field they look great
  2. One run losses or wins are largely luck. So, this is a fluke....I don't know what people wanted molitor to do differently here, other than tell Buxton to steal.
  3. I agree with all of that Chief. I still would prefer Buxton not swing there, but I agree that's a pitch he's got to hit well. He's sitting on it...
  4. Two things I don't understand.... Buxton not trying to steal when he's a pinch runner. Buxton swinging away with the bases loaded and the pitcher being unable to throw a strike.
  5. They sold a AAA player to the team they are chasing? Interesting. Kirriloff just keeps going!
  6. Of course it can be survived. That is not sufficient to make it a good trade.
  7. I feel bad for the other actors.....and behind the camera people....
  8. I suspect so, sure.....but as fans, do we care if they made money on this, if they don't spend it? Also, do we care that they gave up a potentially valuable minor league player, and pool money? If they end up with a payroll as large as this year's, next year, I'll be very surprised. And will then likely praise this trade.
  9. I'm confused. Isn't the value of that pick any player picked after 73? I'm not sure why people keep looking at the 74th pick specifically. The twins did a pick. The only way this works too help the team is if they spend the money next year.
  10. I'm not sure how you got this out of my post at all. But polite, very polite
  11. I don't think people realize how much money they have coming off the books. They would have to spend close to the most any team has ever spent to touch the new money.
  12. Some of these posts read.... meh, why bother drafting and then signing players, they never work out anyway.
  13. Does it matter, given everything else coming off the books? I can't see them spending sixty plus million in free agents in one year.
  14. How much more payroll can they use, once you take out Mauer, Dozier, Santana, Lynn, and others? That's over fifty million.... Are we expecting adding another six matters? That would be a lot of signings.
  15. I am not a fan who roots for efficiency. I want wins. I can't imagine they will be close to this budget next year, with Mauer, Dozier, Lynn, Santana all coming off the books. Probably others too. So, not sure how your calculation matters, unless they spend the money. Now, if this catcher turns out.... Good trade. But they lose a top pick, and the money that goes with it.
  16. Not a fan, at all. They just gave up a high pick for nothing. Wow. Money talks, I guess.
  17. Plus, they need to find out if he can get better..... And they aren't good this year, so may as well be now.
  18. In college it was gyro and fries, but that could have been because they were free.... Pizza or gyro or tacos
  19. So, with Sano at first.... How long until we see Gordon? Maybe he should be playing third in NY?
  20. This is why some of us said that they should not platoon Max...
  21. I look forward to the day Wade is the fourth OF on this roster. Or whomever he is traded for.
