Twins (Prielipp) vs Mets (Holmes): 4/22/26, 6:10 pm CDT
USAFChief replied to C-Gangster's topic in Archived Game Threads
In a rather strange twist of fate, the Minnesota Twins first ever home game (at Metropolitan Stadium, of course) was against...wait for it... ...the Washington Senators.

They say you'll always see something at a ballgame you've never seen before...

Luis Robert always looked to me like a superstar waiting to break out. Still waiting.

Great AB, Brooksie.

Question of the week: are you optimistic?
USAFChief replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
Ditto, although I got in at under 74.5. -
Whew! Good deal. No need to decide who stays between Outman and whichever nondescript backup infielder currently resides on the 26 man. We can keep both!!

This is not 5 players for 4 positions. Bell is not competing for LF or RF playing time. His 5 games a week must come at 1b or DH. And realistically, his bat must be in the lineup every day. Scratch him from your scenario, other than any DH time reduces opportunity for the other 4.. Conversely, none of the other 4 factor in 1B playing time. Wallner, ERod, Larnach, and Martin are competing for RF/LF and DH...if DH is never covered by Bell, Buxton, Jeffers, or Caratini. Lets say 6 games, 12 OF spots avaliable per week and 4 DH spots--total of 16. That leaves 4 starts per week, if you let all of them switch between RF and LF willy nilly and minimize others at DH. Realistically, though, they're not going to put Martin in right. Probably not putting Wallner in left, and I have no idea what flexibility there is with ERod...all of which further complicates getting even 4 starts per week. All 4 are taking up 26 man spots, leaving 8 to cover CF, 3rd, SS, 2nd, and 2 catchers. You have in effect 2 bench spots left.
-
Hahaha. We needed a other run, Hunter. C'mon! You needed to be first, not second!
-
Why would anyone do this? Now you're using in effect 7 starters to fill 5 spots. With a bonus of taking away 1/4th of your pen.

One. One Prospect. Prielipp hasn't been called up. Edit: "Never mind." -E Littella

Banda is still in the pen.
