    Wish I knew more about Graterol. Crazy to be so intrigued by someone this young who hasn't even really played yet! But with that kind of FB, and Bob talking about his slider, it's hard not to be excited even though his years away.

    Gotta be honest...as a duck thrown objects in my direction...im not that down on Molitor at this point even though I have disagreed with various moves made today and before today. Why? He was the manager for the surprising 2015 season. I really like some of the moves and various lineups he's used this season. If managers, coaches, QB in football and all sports get all the blame when you lose, you also have to give praise when the team performs well. And this season is still a he'll of a turn around from 2016. To be fair, the coaching changes and advisors and new analytics, plus player development have all lead to the turn around. I'm not saying Molitor is THE GUY moving forward, but this team/roster is not yet a finished product. And less than a year even on the job, I'm not going to bash the FO either, even though there have been a couple moves and non moves made I disagree with.

    Guessing Rucinski won't have to unpack much

    Hey...13 runs given up by the bullpen. A new Twins record! Congratulations Twins bullpen!
  5. DocBauer
    I could get Wheeler to be a long man, get his first shot and all, but...nothing personal...i didn't understand Rucinski. Understand it even less now.
  6. DocBauer
    This is like a really bad horror movie that I can't stop watching! Do I really have to see how it ends???
  7. DocBauer
    Seriously, this team really needs Pressly. But at this point, doesn't he have to go down to figure something out? But Chargois out, Burdi out, Jay out....who do you bring up?
  8. DocBauer
    Forget what I just said

    Do I get slapped if I say something about the Twins having 2 more innings to attempt a rally?

    "Should have gotten a live chicken."
  11. DocBauer
    This just....I don't know what it's is
  12. DocBauer
    With a big lead and Pressly struggling, I guess I can see him getting a 1 inning shot. But holy crap! What has happened to this guy? And I agree, but big lead, why wouldn't you put the fresh arm out there to get acclimated?
  13. DocBauer
    Season long and begining the season injuries has been a HUGE downer thus far. But what I find so interesting about this list...while still opinion of course...is how many recognizable names and even close to probably/maybe contributing names are this low. Makes the top 20 list that much more intriguing and exciting!
  14. DocBauer
    It's a great point, but somewhat moot as mentioned above, you take the top couple of performers off most any team and you change the dynamic appreciably...usually. And, as stated previously, it's more a question of who else emerges. With 9 man lineups and 5 day rotations, as well as normal hot and cold spells, baseball is a unique sport. Rosario, Buxton, Kepler, Polanco, Vargas, Berrios and Mejia are still so very young and developing that their ceilings are still a ways off. Mauer is starting to click along with Dozier. So yeah, its more about improvement than any regression from two pkayers, IMO.

    Recently, last Sunday I believe, on the pre-game show they were talking with someone...want to say Antony?...but mention was made that Gonsalvez would be considered as a promotion candidate from AS if the Twins needed another starter. Now, he's have to be healthy and pitching well, but I found it an interesting statement.
  16. DocBauer
    OK....who wants pie?
  17. DocBauer
    I LOVE pie!
  18. DocBauer
    I've always preferred the number of the hot girl down the way.
  19. DocBauer
    Said it before but I think it bears repeating: IMO, when there isn't that ONE GUY that is a no-brainer,I believe you pick the guy with the highest ceiling that ALSO seems the safest choice. There is just no way to know who is going to wash out, who is going to make it or who is going to be a star 4 or 5 years from now. But please, please, when that time comes, can we refrain from the "we should have drafted" talk?

    Fantastic write up! The contract is what it is and has never bothered me. Nor has Mauer himself, always been a fan. I think the issue has just been disappoinment in his decline. Exoected due to age and injury and the such, but still disappointing. I don't think anyone expects him to hit for the remainder if the season the way he has in May. But with his defense, solid IN, some doubles power and a solid BA, he's still a very useful player. Just one who shouldn't probably play every day any longer, and I think everyone agrees with this. He has been an all time great Twin, and she should be remembered that way, absolutely!
  21. DocBauer
    Palacios and Wade...clearly the very early front runners for milb hitter of the year. These 2 guys just take and don't seem to be slowing down!
  22. DocBauer
    Romero and Gonsalvez may not be ready, but it sure seems the potential is there. Slegers has looked good, for the most part, but inconsistency for a young pitcher seeing AAA for the first time is not unexpected. Berrios and Mejia could be fixtures for the remainder of the season. The team also has the finances to make a FA signing in the off-season. Despite such a fun and good start to the season, this remains a mostly young and rebuilding team. I wouldn't make a trade at this time.
  23. DocBauer
    Gonsalves may not be happy with his start, but I sure am. Seems like he mostly avoided hard contact, the HR being an obvious exception. His own description of his start accounts for the "pitchability" factor that has often been mentioned regarding him. Very excited to see how the season plays out for him. Surprised by both Murray and Cederoth. Isn't it time for Burdi to move to AAA and Clay move up to take his spot at AA?

    Despite young and at least a few years away, we all fell in love a bit with Thorpe as a very talented young SP in the system, a LH even, who might bring promise to performance at the ML level. But his injury, and illness, IMO, has taken his adventure to a different level for most of us. It's one thing to root for a prospect. It's another thing to wonder and worry about a prospect as a real human person having to endure and overcome. I'm really pulling for this young man as a Twins fan and for him to fulfill his early promise. But I think I speak for a lot of fans when I say I'm just pulling for him as a young man to overcome.
  25. DocBauer
    I know Law's 30% potential comment on Greene is not real math, but an off the cuff statement. And if the Twins go that route, I'd be happy, root for the kid and hope like he'll. But when look at build, stuff, high floor, projectable ceiling, proximity to the majors, I just thing Wright us the correct choice here.
