    That is pretty slim pickin's for a 25-year period. Especially when the list includes both players drafted by the Twins and players the Twins acquired by trade.
  2. terrydactyls
    Zimmy, Festa, and Zebby followed by Adam's, Prielipp and Raya and using Alcala and Funderburg properly? That's eight pitchers. What happens to Lopez, Ryan, Ober, Paddock, Duran, Jax, Sands, Stewart, etc.? How large of a pitching staff do you want?

    I thought it read more like a bad imitation of Jane Austin.
  4. terrydactyls
    There are catchers at 18 and 21 in the first round and 40 in the comp picks.
  5. terrydactyls
    No mention of defense for pick #16. The comp pick has crappy defensive skills. But they can hit. This sounds like so many drafts in recent memory.
  6. terrydactyls
    In summary, he needs to improve.
  7. terrydactyls
    Maybe if McCusker can get his batting average above .450 and continue hitting for power, the Twins "might" consider giving him an MLB tryout.
  8. terrydactyls
    Who is this Hugh Slump of which you speak?
  9. terrydactyls
    Jose Salas has been mentioned quite often in these recaps. I checked the box score and he's hitting .294. Has he finally figured out how to hit a baseball? Good for him.
  10. terrydactyls
    "Carson McCusker went 3-for-3 with his eighth double, two walks and a stolen base. He extended his career-high, 11-game hitting streak. Through 30 games, he is hitting .352/.424/.686 (1.110) with eight doubles, nine homers and 29 RBI." Why is he still in Saint Paul? Can he play 1B? If not, then start training him.
  11. terrydactyls
    100% agreement on these two comments.

    I don't live in Minnesota so I don't get to see many Twins games. But from the few I've seen, it appears Bader is really enjoying playing in Minnesota (or just playing?). How do you locals feel about that?
  13. terrydactyls
    I played 3B for many years (first baseball, then softball). I remember many games when the only time I touched the ball was throwing it around the horn. I used to stretch between pitches to stay loose (and to keep my head in the game). It can get pretty boring playing 3B.

    When Falvey was in Cleveland he was well known for his pitching "pipeline" and the team did well. In Minnesota he is being lauded again for a pitching "pipeline" and the Twins suck. What's the difference? Cleveland had Terry Francona and the Twins have Rocco Baldwlli.
  15. terrydactyls
    The Saints have five guys with an OPS over .800? Twins have two and both are on the IL. But they do have Clemens, Kiersey, and Gasper on the roster. Makes no sense.
  16. terrydactyls
    Trades? What trades? The Twins have the world's greatest bullpen, a starting rotation that the 1970 Orioles would be jealous of, and an offensive juggernaut that boasts six players hitting under .200 and a team WAR of 3.4! Why would we trade any of this treasure trove of talent?
  17. terrydactyls
    I was part of the 1849 gold rush and I strongly object to your stereotyping of those hard-working explorers. I mean, gosh darn it to heck, some of us had fourth grade edumications.
  18. terrydactyls
    If metrics is the way of the future, why not get rid of the "manager" position and just install a computer monitor with direct access to a Cray computer? (By the way, do they still exist?). Rightly or wrongly, I miss the days when a manager would look at the on-field situation and make a decision based on his feel for the game.
  19. terrydactyls
    "4-3 tgat would be great" whatever that means.
  20. terrydactyls
    Their research would have been more thorough but all their federal funding for research was taken away.
  21. terrydactyls
    Or about 45 minutes if you aren't a Caretaker!
  22. terrydactyls
    "Augured" by five walks and two stolen bases? Augured means to foretell a negative event. Did you mean "augmented" by any chance?
  23. terrydactyls
    I sort of concur. I would fully agree with you if you had said "must watch" instead of "much watch".
  24. terrydactyls
    There is one quick fix that will eliminate all of the negative statistical results detailed above. Get the stat nerds to create new, wonderful, bigly advanced metric that twist all the negatives into positives. They can call it RMA+ (Reverse Metric Analysis Plus - I have no idea what the "+" means but I see it a lot so it must be meaningful).

    I remember the name but not the player. Zoilo Versalles is the SS I remember.
