    Garver!

    OMG...OMG...Ive been called out! Where is my blankie? Honestly, really want to jump in. My work schedule...retail...is kind of weird. Think I just got September today. Really want to toss my cap in the ring and take a shot!
  3. DocBauer
    Just amazing how you can watch big shots deep, or toward the gap, sort of time it in your head and just say: "yeah, Byron has that."
  4. DocBauer
    Me? Routine? What did I do now? Ohhh...you meant Buxton.
  5. DocBauer
    Is attempted decapitation a fineable offense?
  6. DocBauer
    Not wanting to be accused of hyperbole or rose colored glasses, but when you see what Berrios is capable of, and knowing his fitness regime and competitive mentality, don't you still have to think he might be a true #1 in the next couple of years?
  7. DocBauer
    Smalley does love to talk...as do I so maybe that's why I like him, lol...but he is smart in what he says. He breaks things down really well, IMO
  8. DocBauer
    Another One. Think we're going to be OK at catcher for the next few years. All due respect to Giminez
  9. DocBauer
    Gee...this Berrios kid has some potential huh?
  10. DocBauer
    Have to say, I know some people don't like Smalley, but I really enjoy listening to him.
  11. DocBauer
    But on a serious note, Buxton untouchable, and Kepler maybe so, (Still a bit raw but oh so talented), I have stated before that were I a team talking to the Twins about a trade for a high end SP, Rosario would be at the top of my list. Now, we're I the Twins, he might also be untouchable.
  12. DocBauer
    Too bad he's only good enough to be a 4th OF. Lol
  13. DocBauer
    ROSARIO!
  14. DocBauer
    OK, change of plans now. We can't keep paying him $24M, but as long as Mauer can hit some, get on base some, learn to rip shots to RF lime that, and keep playing defense like that...he can play as long as he likes.

    I remember Brito well, and of course Hocking and the Twins players mentioned. But i am sorry to say I barely remember Russo even though I followed tne Twins milb back in thise days via Sporting News, Baseball Digest and other soirces. Either a failing memory or he just never got the hype of other guys. But thank you for this! It was fun going down memory lane.

    I believe these stats on Rooker should be updated through last night's game. Fort Meyers: 37Games/ 132AB/ .288AVG/ .377OB/ .583SLG/ .961OPS/ 6-0-11XBH/ 22R/ 35RBI/ 16BB-43SO Obviously the SO are a little high, but entirely unexpected. But those numbers, even in relatively SSS sure look promising. I agree AA for 2018 looks like a strong posibility.

    At 2 years, I'm in on Santana. At 3, I'm probably still in. More than that and frankly, I'm uncomfortable. But I like his bat, power, and the fact he can actually still play in the field. You brought up some very interesting SP options. Arrieta? Or buy lower and hope for lightening? (What the Cubs basically did when they got Arrieta in the first place). Not sure i know the answer, but will pkace my trust in the FO. But the point is to build the best team and win, right? Would it really be wrong or far fetched to also bring back Colon on a 1 year deal? The truth is, he can STILL pitch and he's good in the clubhouse. AS the old saying goes, there is no such thing as a bad 1 year contract. Mejia probably inherits the 5th spot with Rochester loaded! Tons of available depth, no pressure (for lack of a better word) to promote any of the kids, and there are trade possibilities as well. But then again, maybe in the long run the last two spots should be Mejia and an open audition. I also like most of the pen arms and it's potential. And even with the names you listed, Reed, Bard, Jay, Chargois and even Burdi are available and potentially ready at some point. I'd really like to find a second LH arm and still would be in favor of a veteran "proven" arm for stability, experience, leadership, etc. Overall, you state pretty much what I feel to be true; this team is really only a couple guys and continued development away from being a real contender.

    Totally understand and appreciate your thoughts and perspective. But this really was an overview of the system, and it's depth and perspective at this one position. But remember, everyone starts here initially before they become ML. As to the rotation comment, even though thus is about SS, I also am intrigued and excited about the depth of pitching at AAA and AA next season. Let's say the Twins make a bug trade or quality FA signing, (I still prefer the FA route), and for fun, let's say they even sign Colon for 2018, (and there have been reports the Twins are interested in doing so), you have a rotation...initially at least...of FA, Santana, Berrios, Colon and Mejia. And there is no pressure, and depth, for Slegers, May, Gonsalvez, Romero, Jorge, etc. You now can bring them up when ready, Opportunity, etc.

    I know it may be as much semantics as perception, but I don't feel the bullpen is "terrible" or has been "terrible" this season at all. I think there have been stretches of "terrible" that make this bullpen "inconsistent" in the grand scheme. I feel this exact selection could apply to the rotation as well. Look, this team is in contention, has been in contention all season, has been. 500, usually above, only below for a few days here and there, for the entire season. We all know the pitching, rotation and bullpen, aren't where they need to be. But you don't contend and play above. 500 ball with a staff that is "terrible". Remember how we all pretty much wanted Belisle run out of town at one point? Suddenly we look up to realize he was pitching borderline lights out for weeks on end. But the perception was he stunk. Rogers, maybe overworked, didn't look good after the break, but has been better again lately. Pressly has the big arm, big SO totals, and streaks of pitching well. He's also been pretty bad in stretches. Could almost say the exact same about Duffey. And now we have a couple good looking kids getting their feet wet and a 3rd who is now getting that chance. "Terrible"? I say no. Inconsistent? That I agree to!

    Rooker....WOW! Anyone have any information in Jay? I know it's really SSS but looks like he's throwing well. I must have gotten confused because I thought he was having surgery.
  21. DocBauer
    Sorry if I'm obtuse or ignorant, but I never have figured your TD name.
  22. DocBauer
    I should added...and why. Lol
  23. DocBauer
    LOVE watching Colon. He does well and has fun doing so. I'm in favor of he and Santana both on the staff for next season BECAUSE of experience, production, leadership, and the damn fun they seem to have! (Well...fun in Colons case at least).
  24. DocBauer
    Chicken chicken...Canadian bacon stuffed version of Colon bleu...winning dinner!
  25. DocBauer
    Has anyone ever seen Keanu Reeves and Curtiss in the same room? Just asking.
