    I hope the AL and NL can be retained, but expansion to 32 teams sounds OK. Two square 16 team leagues would seem welcome for scheduling. ScottyB has a nice scheduling plan laid out above. Of course, I would like to see KC and the White Sox stick with the Twins, but I guess you can't have everything. I'm not sure what I would think of being in a division with both New York teams and the Red Sox.

    I took that comment as meaning "outside the TD walls". We are lucky to have journalists and contributors like yourself and Tom (among many others) that keep us informed on the entire organization. I get called "Stat-man" by the company I keep for watching games, but most of the information that I get starts here.

    Probably leverage of situations and FIP Also, looking at the numbers, Hildenberger's BABIP was almost 100 points higher at .304 than Busenitz' .212 ... Pretty much opposites on the luck spectrum

    Such a fun season! Colon's complete game, Pujol's #600, now this jack by Dozier and unbelievable catch by Buxton! Keep it coming!

    Moya was really fun to watch at the end, but I feel like he is going to get called for a balk at least once a game. That's a crap-ton of pre-pitch motion that he's got going!

    He should probably be getting ready to accept that role. Looking up and down the OPS numbers of starting catchers last year, few were lower than Suzuki. Most, if not all, of those won't be starting in 2016. Add on that he doesn't bring much strike zone or running game control to the table, and I don't see any starting jobs available for him. If Garver, Turner or Hicks don't look to be the part soon, I would keep him around as the backup on a year-by-year basis. The pitching staff likes him, and he will be a cheap cheerleader. Long term, I can wishfully think of Mientkiewicz managing and Zook as the bench coach.

    Having Edwin Encarnacion at AAA would be awesome

    Found the culprit .... Ervin, you need to discontinue use.

    If Pelf can win the setup role in spring training and turn into a Wade Davis, then the Twins would only be paying him $500K more than the ChiSox are paying Duke. That's the only somewhat twisted, slightly reasonable and rose-colored spin I can put on that contract at this point.

    Burdi's numbers are ridiculous. Even more so, if you take out that 4BB/4R/0IP debut. I hope a waiver trade or two can go through on someone like Burton, so then maybe Burdi gets a chance to make the 40-man and get a September taste. Heck, I'd even DFA Burton, if you can't find a suitor. This September seems like as good a time as any to let Burdi get rid of any MLB debut butterflies and see where his game is at the highest level.
