    Dozier to the Royals for Duffy. Seems fair.
  6. HitInAPinch
    Nice AB by Polanco.
  7. HitInAPinch
    First outs of the game on flies out to the outfielders, right to left. Future trivial question?
  8. HitInAPinch
    A Walk! A WALK I SAY!! Dooooomed.

    Start of a new season with weak ass fireworks......

    The trading of any Twin will largely depend on the desperation of the big market teams to stick in the pennant race.

    Park is not on the 40 man roster. That's why he was sent down.

    I'm not worried about Kepler's hitting against lefties. There's not a whole lot of them around and stats are skewed by small sample size. I looked at a couple of his MiLB seasons, and the R v. L splits were pretty comparable. Worse comes to worse: Twins run a righty hitter out there. Same should probably go for Rosario. He got 396 MLB AB's last year. Nice start, more to come.

    So, the Padre's dropped Paul Clemens so they have a spot for FA signee Jered Weaver? He of the 2016: 12-12, 5.06 ERA? awesome...

    Jeez, look at the new guy starting up trouble right away. WELCOME!!!! I really don't see a Fire Sale happening. I just don't see a lot that other teams would consider an asset. At this point, I don't consider much on this team as being "set". And that includes the OF. Oh, there's definitely potential in Rosario, Buxton and Kepler. But still not proven. I'll wait. The infield has, IMHO, 2 guys playing out of place: Sano and Polanco. When Mauer's contract is up after next year, I see Sano at 1st. And I would try my damnedest to make sure he's not a full-time DH. Polanco: Well, there's Dozier. Dozier seems to be an ill fit for a rebuilding team. But he has value. Some team will be looking to add a 2B guy with big power around the All Star break. Polanco just doesn't seem to have the skills to play SS: bad footwork. Pitching: Don't get me started. There are at least 2 filler-types in the starting rotation. About 5 in the bullpen. I do understand what management is doing: They signed veterans to be spot fillers until some MiLBers are deemed ready. Don't know how that's gonna work out. My guess is went the FO is ready to move, Chargois is the first one called up. Just a gut feeling. And when another is moved / moved off the 40-man roster, Park is called up.

    er, should have been "embracing". that's what happens when you post before 3am.....

    I still have my doubts, but at least we'll have a real chance to see what he can to over the course of the season. I don't have any stats prediction, but I'd bet the house on a pretty big 1st half / 2nd half split. This year is about playing more games / innings in a season than he's ever played before.

    I'm not so sure about the "most recent injuries don’t have anything directly to do with his pitching arm" commentary. His left [landing] leg was fractured and the mentioned "thoracic outlet syndrome" are no small things when combined. Great news that he's embarrassing the need to change, but I have my doubts about his returning to the 2014 level.
  19. HitInAPinch
    Umm, no.
  20. HitInAPinch
    Kinda describes the Twins World Series rosters, doesn't it? Yes, the '87 and '91 teams an 'ace' and a closer, but the rest of pretty, meh. The successful path in life is to be Offensive. Or something like that

    Typical Game Day Threat:

    "Nothing ventured, nothing gained" phrase of venture (a risky or daring journey or undertaking) 1. proverb You can't expect to achieve anything if you never take any risks. That's what I meant.....
  23. HitInAPinch
    If only I could listen to the games on AM radio......
  24. HitInAPinch
    So, Upon Further Review: Park was sent down because there were no open spots on the 40 man roster. Or just waiting to open a spot or 2. Reviewing the current 40, I can think of at least 4 that I could live without. Mejia and Duffey: YES to both. Now then, let's begin the season with moving some dead weight out.

    Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Literally.....
