  1. The Twins seem to be in good shape as far as everyday player go. I have a concerns over the quality of the current and future Twins pitchers. So, the projection that needs to be done is, which player, Greene or McKay, projects to be the better pitcher in the short-term?
  2. Couldn't it, wouldn't it, be more beneficial to Hughes and the Twins to sit Hughes, let him actually work on recovery and call up a MiLB starter or two to see what they've got? To me, this seems like a slap in the face-type wake-up call.
  3. Oh, crap. There it is! That's what i get for posting before 3am LOL
  4. Why not shop Dozier instead? At 29, he's still in his prime. I would think Polanco would represent more risk to the buyers than Dozier. Just curious.....
  5. Right up there with "So's your Mama!" p.s. yeah, that's the best I got.....
  6. Polanco has been much better and consistent playing time is the key at any position, any career. He still seems a little clunky at times. I like him better at 2nd. BTW: anyone else hate Baseball Reference's new format? Can't figure out how to get Polanco's splits.... EDIT: Figured it out. Go to a different site....
  7. #5 Fill the bottom 3rd of the order with OBP guys. I've been kinda saying this for a while. LEN3 posted the same thing early this morning: "As the leadoff hitter, he is dependent upon the bottom third of the order to get on base for him." I'd move Mauer to the latter half of the lineup, Buxton to 7th, and Grossman and Polanco 8th and 9th. Or something like that. Using the bottom 3rd as a hitters graveyard should be a thing of the past.
  8. Kyle Gibson is what he is: a .500 pitcher, at best. If he were an innings eater, it would be a different story. However, since a slow build up in innings, Gibson max'd out at 194 innings and started going in the opposite direction. As the team on the field grew younger, they became successful to the point where we can both see progress and hope for the future. In the starting pitchers, Gibson and Hughes just seem like the past. Berrios should be up, in the bullpen, and entering games at the start of an inning. Keep him in "starting" mode. Duffey should not be moved into a starting role, IMHO. Damn shame about Trevor May...
  9. So far today, no
  10. Man, I really don't understand what happened to Mejia. That was a Jim Hoey-type implosion! Give him time to cool off and get back on track. Right now, it sounds like Bubba Boshers and Kennys Vargas. No Berrios, but I believe he should be called up as a 'start of an inning' type. Keep him working on his windup. Gut feeling is Vargas wouldn't have gotten the call if Park were healthy. No need for a 5th starter until May 6. So we'll get to see Gibson and Hughes at least 2 more times? Good Times! not.
  11. I'm starting to think Buxton might just be a slow starter. You know, the old saying "as the temps warm up, so do the bats".
  12. Jeez, Duffey. Throw the curve already!
  13. I think there's 3 left. Lemme check.... Yup, 3
  14. What do they mean by "tag someone anywhere"?
  15. Sano get's beaned [looked kinda intentional, to me] and then McCann hits him with his face mask. I can't see how MLB would penalize Sano. Unless the PC police are in control.
  16. I'm thinking Sano is good for a couple Home Runs tomorrow....
  17. Wow, Sano has really improved his defense this year. Smooth throws.
  18. Ok, can we get Mejia out of the game now? EDIT: Thank You!
  19. Polanco makes 'em pay!! I really like that kid! http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/sports/images/baseball/1999/griffith2_102099ap.jpg
