    "The Hammer"?? No, "The Ogie" http://hfboards.hockeysfuture.com/image.php?u=125449&dateline=1417556742

    Curious: Sano seems to hit a wall after playing several in a row. After a little time off, he comes back really strong. I wonder if we're seeing the same thing in Buxton..... Concur on Rosario!
  3. HitInAPinch
    Umm, yes?

    Lewis' arm: I've read the same thing, too. I've also read the exact opposite. Weird...

    Good Grief! Did I just create TD's 1st ever 'Ignorant Threat' ??

    How does the drafting of Royce Lewis affect Nick Gordon? Wild guess / thinking big: If Lewis shows ANYTHING in his first season, or 2, Gordon is part of a trade to get a really good Starting Pitcher.

    Well, the thing is, if you don't want Boras in your clubhouse you're probably missing out on some pretty good talent. Make the player deal with Boras, with a clause: If the player is successful, you will flip him for a group of prospects. Win for the player, with for the team and a win for the Boras. :-)

    I've never been to a Saints game. I'm moving back to SW New Mexico shortly, so I'll miss out. They sound like a great, fun organization!

    Would love to read Falvey/Levine's cliff notes on the draft. I remain blissfully ignorant on such things, so I can honestly say, I'm not wrong.

    Is his defense enough to cover-up his offensive failings? IMHO: no. His offense has not been trending up. Ave. is hovering around the Mendoza-line. Molitor has been benching Buxton an awful lot lately. I don't know what it will take to get Buxton rolling offensively. I hope someone can figure it out. Or maybe the old baseball adage "As the summer warms up, so will the bats" will kick in for Buxton.

    "Am I trying to polish a turd?" I would think the stench would have pushed you away.... I'm sorry, but this is nothing new for Gibson over the past couple years. IMHO: time to move on. Beyond that, WHAT AND OFFENSIVE EXPLOSION!! Maybe Rosario, like we've seen with Sano, just needs more time off. Escobar and Grossman getting more consistent AB's. Could be a fun Summer!

    I believe he has been working the system. I'd like to see him dig a little deeper. Offense and defense seem to be on the uptick. Would like to see more of those AA-AAA pitchers. Couldn't be worse that a guy who give up 6 runs in 6 innings, when he had a 8 run lead in the third....

    2nd explosion for Mejia this season. Not happy with the "just didn’t have it today" narrative. It was another slaughter. Baaa, Baaa, Baaad.

    Falvey on his selection of Lewis. A little tidbit on Boras. http://stmedia.stimg.co/FALVEY21.JPG?w=600&h=600
  15. HitInAPinch
    I feel the same about Boras. Run with Lewis as long as you can. If it ever becomes that time for Boras to start thinking about bigger contract money, you should already know it's time to trade Lewis. I'm a little tired of the Twins holding onto the "Hometown Boys".
  16. HitInAPinch
    Random thoughts: First, I'd never back-off a player who had Scott Boras as an agent. We all know his MO. If the drafted player develops quickly, be prepared to trade him quick and benefit before new contract negotiations begin. 3 HS players drafted in a row. An indictment of college players? I think #2 is a real possibility. Hey, if you're not willing to play the game, stay home. Did anyone really think drafting a high school pitcher would save the Twins starting rotation next year? Or the following year, or even the year after that?

    A little further down in that article: "Greene, a Los Angeles suburban school standout, has the highest profile because of his blazing fastball — but indications are that the Twins have discovered some concerns as they did their due diligence on him, like the quality of his breaking pitches." So, something (or maybe more?) that we've already read about Greene. Sooo.... my question(s) is/are this: 1. Do the Twins select a pitcher with a development schedule that aligns more with the development of the current MLB team: 2. Or, do they look at the higher upside of Greene and say, "yeah, we can wait for that". I can really see this both ways. If guys like Gonslaves and Felix Jorge are on that MLB path, I'd be inclined to take Greene. If not, well I've read that the Twins are interested in McKay. Edit: That's some pretty good depth on that curve. I'm leaning more towards Greene...

    Very interesting stuff. Thanks!
  19. HitInAPinch
    Just one 0 for the entire collection of second-guessers? Doesn't seem fair, somehow. Maybe a little, foul?

    TWINS WIN !! http://www.chesterlandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Fotolia_8425271_M.jpg

    Nice play up the middle!

    Allow me to summarize this trades result: https://youtu.be/gnZeQcCBtVA?t=6

    Thanks, Tom! I don't get to watch many games anymore. Really appreciate your write-ups. P.S. still miss Nunez....
  24. HitInAPinch
    But, seriously folks: I've got to assume there's something in the MiLB pitching that Falvey and Levine don't like, right now. Me, I'd like to hear what that 'something' is.
  25. HitInAPinch
    but, but, but, he's a Canadian!!! Sorry, couldn't resist.....
