    At the very least, I anticipate an active winter on TD discussing permutations...

    Paddack is under contract. Assuming his inconsistency this year has been the remnants of TJS recovery (and I'm of that mind), he's in the top 5.

    I was having the same thought while listening to last night. If Lewis is back by even Aug. 1, that's a 20-25 game audition. These things have a way of working themselves out, so I don't get too anxious about this, and it's a good problem to have, but it does create an interesting situation with Lewis and Lee if Lee shows himself better defensively. The assumption has been that one of them will transition to 2B, but Lee didn't play there a ton and Lewis played none (or virtually none). Teams tend to give the incumbent his job back when returning from injury, but I'm not sure it's that clear cut.

    This isn’t the purpose of the article, but when you add a rotation of Lopez, Ryan, Ober, SWR and Paddack, backed up by Varland, Festa, et. al, followed by Duran, Jax, etc., they already have a pretty impressive floor. This assumes letting Farmer, Santana, Margot and Kepler go, all of which seems likely. What would that make the payroll?
  5. IndianaTwin
    With a penchant for rotating through the DH and with where things are now, I’d list Miranda at 1B rather than Julien.
  6. IndianaTwin
    It all depends on the return. I can’t see them taking on the contract for someone like the Phanatic, even if he was available, and guys like Billy the Marlin do nothing for me. Wally the Green Monster would need a position change to be a Limestone Monster. Remember, too, that he’s a 10-and-5 guy, so he’s going to have to approve a trade. Aside from Colorado and maybe Seattle, I don’t see many climates a bear is going to accept. I think they are stuck with him. If they are going to make a change, I’d rather let him walk as a free agent. They aren’t going to give him a QO, and he’d probably accept it if they did. Why don’t they bring up Shucks from Cedar Rapids and let the young guys play? He’s some sweeeet corn.

    1. Unless you have reason to have a seat “inside the fence,” when you get to town, your first stop is the grounds where the ceremony happens. Put out your blanket and lawn chair to reserve your spot. We put ours out around 9 a.m. on Saturday morning and were still back a ways. It will be safe until Sunday. 2. Visiting the Hall is great, but it will be very full on Saturday. If you have the ability to visit earlier (even Friday) or later, you will likely have a more enjoyable experience. If Saturday is your only option, by all means visit, but know it will be packed. 3. Cool as the ceremony is, the Saturday is evening parade was even more enjoyable for me. Particularly read point 3 in my blog from the Oliva induction for more than explanation. 4. Have fun!

    How can we ever win a one-run game if they keep extending leads?
  9. IndianaTwin
    First job out of college was as a sports reporter and a local volleyball team had Nicki Miller, Nikki Miller and Niki Miller.

    Going to take a little nap on the couch after this game before I head to bed. It’s my snors d’ouevre.
  11. IndianaTwin
    Can’t really bring myself to root for said team. Best I can do is to say that I wouldn’t mind if they don’t lose tonight.
  12. IndianaTwin
    Would be interesting to see if a particular menace made that name fall into disfavor, with parents not wanting to put their kid through elementary school with that gift.
  13. IndianaTwin
    Bringing new meaning to Mar-gone.
  14. IndianaTwin
    And if you live in Bulls country, including northern Indiana, Paxson and Jordan. Don’t remember anyone naming their kid Rodman, however.
  15. IndianaTwin
    I hear he doesn’t do those.
  16. IndianaTwin
    As was Peyton.
  17. IndianaTwin
    This cuts to the chase for me. Trading Kepler is more likely to weaken this year’s team than enhance it, and they’re not going to mess up the clubhouse mojo for the minimal return that it would get.
  18. IndianaTwin
    So you’re saying the Twins should trade their left (sic) fielder because he’s sucked, but that teams better than us might want him?
  19. IndianaTwin
    If the Mets were to sell, it’s hard to imagine it being Garrett, given his future control. More likely would be Adam Ottavino, who actually has a better FIP, WHIP and K/BB and who is a free agent after the season. His ERA is ugly, primarily because of a single four-run outing. He wouldn’t be a sexy add, but between him and Garrett, I’d prefer the O when you consider the cost.
  20. IndianaTwin
    Let’s go on a 48-game winning streak and get to .500.
  21. IndianaTwin
    Mariners announcers bragging on Dylan Moore playing multiple positions while Castro is at the plate. Moore will probably hit the 20-game thingie at four positions, with 29 at SS, 21 at 2B, now 17 at 3B and 15 in LF.
  22. IndianaTwin
    Agreed, but it does force them to use a player.
  23. IndianaTwin
    I thought so too, but on the replay it looked like they did get him on the back of the leg. Given that it’s the bottom of the eighth, though, I agree that it was worth the challenge.
  24. IndianaTwin
    With LLR scheduled in the eighth, I like going to Okert there and planning for Staumont in the ninth.
  25. IndianaTwin
    That’s a nice response to the Mariner TV graphic noting that only Crawford and Rodriguez have not struck out tonight.
