    After the incident early in the season [where he didn't hustle out of the batters box] Arcia needed an attitude adjustment. His current stats [ 29 AB's .103 BA ] are abysmal. I thought the original move should have been to AA-ball. Let him let a look at who's nipping at his heals.

    And yet, who was playing shortstop last year and who was sent to the outfield? Obviously, some people didn't get the message
  3. HitInAPinch
    Sporting events are always better with Wisconsin people around :-)

    I was getting a little worried about Oswaldo......
  5. HitInAPinch
    IMO, I think this shows that after 2 years and 229 AB's, Escobar learned how to hit in the MLB. Removing him as a starting SS for a player that has minimal MLB experience as a SS was a dumb idea.
  6. HitInAPinch
    Not being comfortable playing position you haven't played before can affect the rest of your game. Being a utility player after having a successful season as a starting SS is pretty much a career death sentence for most. WAR is one of the Sabermetrics that I don't believe in. It's trying to do too much and, IMHO, leads to false conclusions.

    2014, with a 133 game sample size, doesn't count? Right now, I'd say his only problem is playing out of his comfort zone in LF.
  8. HitInAPinch
    Interesting that of the '5 tools' hitting is Cameron's strong suit. Would be a great choice at #6. I wouldn't worry too much about Boras. He beat's the crap out of teams that have the money, but is gentler with those that don't have as much. Boras can be very creative.

    Seriously, what is the fascination with Josmil Pinto? I'm just not seeing it. Then again, I'm only looking at statistics and not seeing him in action.
  10. HitInAPinch
    I'm curious if Ryan is "floating" any names around on the wavier wires. Just to see if anyone is interested.......
  11. HitInAPinch
    Last word I read from the Strib, they're looking at JR Graham to start.
  12. HitInAPinch
    Twins seem to have a fair amount of DH-types. I really hope they can make Arcia a better OF. Even a little better.
  13. HitInAPinch
    Yeah, could have misread Baseball Reference, again I think there's a very good chance he can do it again. Summer heat cures a lot of ills.....
  14. HitInAPinch
    So, if the success of these young pitchers continues, what's the order of call-up? And whom would they be replacing? I can see 1 or 2 starting spots if Milone continues his success during his recall [tradeable], Pelfry keeps up his current success [tradeable] and Nolasco remains as a very brittle pitcher [spot-starts needed].
  15. HitInAPinch
    FYI: From RotoWorld, Nolasco contract: 2015: $12 million, 2016: $12 million, 2017: $12 million, 2018: $13 million club option ($1 million buyout)

    Terry Ryan is on record saying “We’ve gotten away from ‘go down, get a couple of at-bats and come back up,’ “ Ryan said on May 23. “All of a sudden, the guy is 0-for-12 and not helping the team. … He needs to look like he’s ready to help us.” Currently, Arcia is 2 for 18 with 15k's. Hopefully he get's pissed off like Milone and forces his way back to MLB.
  17. HitInAPinch
    I'm curious: what role would you have Chapman playing in the Twins bullpen?
  18. HitInAPinch
    Ah, another "Homer" trade scenario First, no way the Reds trade him. Not for a package of unproven talent like Sano, Buxton and Meyer. And you'd have to toss in Perkins, as well. And I'm really curious why you would trade for a pitcher like Chapman and make him a setup guy.....
  19. HitInAPinch
    "He is one of only three pitchers to belong to the 400-win club." I'm stumped. I got Johnson and Cy Young. Who's #3?
  20. HitInAPinch
    The more they move us away from "a kid's game", the worse it gets......
  21. HitInAPinch
    Like I've post before, if the pressure on Santana is due to his defense at SS and it is affecting his hitting, why not move him back to CF and install Escobar as the starting SS? Hicks isn't doing so well that he's a mortal lock at CF. Although his BA is back up to .255 now. Dump Schaefer [THAT I think is a mortal lock] and contemplate Robinson, as well. Trade Arcia? Well, you'd have to try and sell him as a player with potential and power. Which would bring up the question: Why are you trying to trade him?
  22. HitInAPinch
    Is he still available? Can he catch???
  23. HitInAPinch
    Lies, damn lies and statistics.
  24. HitInAPinch
    Am I looking at the wrong Josmil Pinto? I keep looking at his AAA stats and reading about his fielding and keep wondering why people keep talking about promoting him. And have him as a backup. I'm just not seeing long-term potential.
  25. HitInAPinch
    Unless this group of starters suddenly become consistent innings eaters, I fear the only result in a 6 man rotation is the bullpen would get grossly over used.
