    Total System Failure, revisited?
  2. PDX Twin
    So if you put together the 5-10 highest salaries in the front office, you might match Nelson Cruz?
  3. PDX Twin
    Is the squirrel in the lineup for tonight?
  4. PDX Twin
    Um, does anyone in the front office make more than the MLB minimum player salary? Or are you suggesting that, maybe, Max Kepler will spend the winter pondering?

    Trout is a great player. But I'd still go with Willie Mays in his prime. Power and average to compare with Trout, but with more speed, defense, and throwing arm.

    Very interesting analysis. Now that the opposing scouts will have read it, will Sano (and the coaches) be able to adapt to the changes in how he will be pitched?
  7. PDX Twin
    Should I remember someone named Juan Morillo?

    Does platooning make much sense in today's baseball? Most of the time the starting pitcher only pitches 4-6 innings. Unless you are right at the top of the order (and Cron is not), you only see the starter twice, then you see whatever relievers take over. Granted that there are a lot more right-handed relievers than lefties, but it seems like the era of the straightforward platoon vanished with the complete game.

    I'd say more of a rough "inning" than a rough "outing." He was pretty solid after the shaky 6th.

    I totally agree that Mauer's absence has been a major component of the infield errors. Cron has scooped some errant throws (especially earlier in the season), but Joe was a catcher and was remarkably good at keeping the ball in front of himself (and usually catching it).

    It seems like many championship teams get some key performances from a new arrival down the stretch, much like the Twins have gotten from Arraez in the middle of the season. The unexpected success boosts team morale and gives everyone a bit more confidence. Now that arrivals cannot come from late waiver deadline trades, they have to be promotions. Could Graterol be the guy who comes up and keys 2-3 wins in the final month?

    Kepler is very athletic and played a lot of first in the minors. He's a very good outfielder, but we have lots of outfielders coming up.
  13. PDX Twin
    Um, Smeltzer and Keller?
  14. PDX Twin
    How about "The Future"? (Won't age well, though.)
  15. PDX Twin
    It would be interesting to put together an "All-Personality" team!
  16. PDX Twin
    Sorry!

    The box score doesn't tell the whole story on De Aza's dramatic home run for Pensacola. Game was tied 8-8 with two on and one out in the bottom of the 8th. He hit a sinking line drive to center. The CF dove for the ball hoping to make a circus catch, but missed it completely. The ball rolled to the wall and De Aza circled the bases and slid safely home as the throw (which was in time) was a little off target. I'd have been tempted to call it a single, RBI, and E-8, but I guess it's OK to pad the stats a little.

    And we've had essentially zero trips to the IL for our starters. Only a couple of one-start vacations, one of which was a blister. I wonder if there is any causality here.
  19. PDX Twin
    He's an ass-man? Is that like a centaur? At least he's a grown one!

    As I said in another thread (but didn't intend to be prophetic): We don't sweep anymore; we've got a Dyson.
  21. PDX Twin
    I don't think we sweep anymore now that we have a Dyson.

    I moved out of Houston 31 years ago, but when I lived there (and the Astros were winning) baseball was just kind of a quaint diversion until the Oilers season started. The interest level in baseball was pretty low even when they made it to the NLCS against the Phillies. Unless things have changed a whole lot, population overestimates the level of fan support that shows up in attendance and TV ratings. (Does anyone have data on that?)
  23. PDX Twin
    He ain't Kirby?
  24. PDX Twin
    Note that a Twins' trade for Bauer would no longer be a trade "within the division." Would the Reds turn around and flip Bauer to the Twins? Would Bauer love to go out and beat the Indians down the stretch?
  25. PDX Twin
    How about trading for Bauer from the Reds?
