    interesting story, although raw bb and k totals for pitchers don't mean much without including ip.
  2. mickeymental
    maybe the big question is whether joe mauer will hit miguel sano's weight.
  3. mickeymental
    al worthington was automatic.
  4. mickeymental
    one possible problem: they've already got walk-averse danny santana in the lineup.
  5. mickeymental
    except that capps is four years older.
  6. mickeymental
    any options left on joe mauer?
  7. mickeymental
    ortiz had an .839 ops (120 ops+) in 466 plate appearances during his last year with the twins (2002), along with an .809 ops (108 ops+) for his entire time with the team (1693 plate appearances).
  8. mickeymental
    if he were 6'2" instead of 5'9" he might have joe mauer's power! oh, wait ...
  9. mickeymental
    i hope that, come september, we're not left saying "well, at least joe mauer had those two good weeks back in the spring ..."
  10. mickeymental
    so far this twins squad seems a lot more resilient than recent versions ...
  11. mickeymental
    Yeah, but he landed that rbi single like a lunar module.
  12. mickeymental
    no idea how my eyes saw .661 ... but they stand corrected.
  13. mickeymental
    i'd argue that for shortstops, a .661 ops with 9 hr, 17 2b, 44 rbi, 15/21 sb and 446 plate appearances in 2013 is more than "remotely" handling big-league pitching.
  14. mickeymental
    speaking of knowing whether or not to give up on someone, 28-year-old pedro florimon has a .786 ops and 0 errors at pittsburgh's indianapolis aaa affiliate ...

    twins management deserves some credit for putting together a pretty good homegrown infield, especially if danny santana settles in at ss.
  16. mickeymental
    practice makes perfect.
  17. mickeymental
    Good point. Thanks.

    "While minor league pitchers can only dream of being able to locate four distinct pitches in any given outing, it was important for us to see the importance Nolasco placed on his pitch selection and location." makes me wonder: if true, how do minor league pitchers ever transform into major league pitchers? do they advance to the majors without being able to locate four distinct pitches and then acquire the ability once there? or is this comment some degree of hyperbole?

    how different the twins would be if they kept carlos gomez in the outfield. twins management got trashed for the johan santana trade but, actually, they did very well (even woulda done well if they'd kept hardy). i see deolis guerra is AAA in the pittsburgh org. did the twins get anyone for him?
  20. mickeymental
    oakland sold 653 tickets for a game in april 1979; an estimated 250 fans showed up. that's pretty close ...
  21. mickeymental
    the improvement must be due to torii hunter's leadership.
  22. mickeymental
    but ... but ... but ... what about all those teams torii's great leadership has led to the world series?
  23. mickeymental
    that's kinda my point. i mean, i understand that a bad major-league experience can set a guy back psychologically. but at the same time i have to believe that jorge polanco's five-game stint with the twins last season was a positive experience. sometimes a guy will stick -- like danny santana last year and kirby puckett back in the day. or like seemingly half the lineups for the cubs and astros ...
  24. mickeymental
    would buxton be up if he was in the cubs org?
  25. mickeymental
    maybe it's time to return hicks to the mound -- then trade him to the national league where he'd be an above-average hitting pitcher.
