    Twins Insider Podcast [posted @4pm today] http://www.startribune.com/as-buxton-s-struggles-mount-twins-gm-search-quietly-heats-up-podcast/389897432/ Very interesting stuff on Sano and Buxton.

    Forgot all about this afternoons 1st game. Who is this E. Escobar who pitched the final inning?
  6. HitInAPinch
    If it's a Molina and NOT a catcher, NOT interested

    Combo of things. He is slow afoot, left-handed and doesn't have a strong arm. As a LF, slow afoot lessens his ability to throw runners out because he has to turn-around to make a throw. He ain't no ballerina. The lack of a strong arm exacerbates the issue. A right-hander in LF would almost always be in a position to make the throw back into the infield right away. In RF, or even CF, Grossman's problem would be less prominent. I'd call Grossman a classic #4 outfielder. Not good enough to start, good enough for pinch-hit, DH and occasional OF duties. If there's a MLB-ready OF in the minors, Grossman is an easy cut.

    To me, it depends. Danny Santana and Robbie Grossman have been serving a purpose: Delaying callups of MiLBers who are not quite ready. Need a little more seasoning. This is where the Twins failed Buxton, IMHO going all in on an unproven commodity at MLB-level was desperation move for CF defense. So, who are the ready/almost outfielders? I know ABW and Palka get mentioned a lot [power]. How about Wade? Earlier this year, Wade was ranked higher than ABW (March 4, FanGraphs) If they're not ready right now, why are we talking about ditching either Santana or Grossman? Should Grossman (or DanSan) be in the Twins plans? IDK. Show me the plan!

    I've been digging around a little to see if there's something physical that has caused Gomez's decline. He's had hamstring and rib issues this year. The decline really started with the Brewers. Maybe with a couple weeks off to heal and a change in scenery, he could be worth a look. Anything to keep Buxton in the minors longer, IMHO.

    Yeah, there are exercises that can help. But in very physical jobs like landscaping and MLB pitcher, those back issue, as you know well, will come back.
