    While the on field product might not be fully polished to a lustrous sheen just yet, game threaders appear in mid season form.

    "Almost tempted" = "not tempted."

    Lazy? Or all hopped up on drugs?? I think we all know the answer to that, hippie.

    Park

    USAFChief replied to GP830's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk

    I think Park hasa real chance to help the Twins. He was a monster in Korea. I hope he gets an opportunity. I still think there's room for him, Mauer and Vargas in a three headed 1b/DH rotation.

    I'm jealous.

    From my living room, I called about 3 or 4 fouls on blocks, but what do I know? What he did do, though, is avoid silly reach ins, bumps when he's beat, and over the back fouls, which to me are the bigger problem anyway. And for the record, Murphy is a heck of a rebounder.

    Quentin Tarantino's on first?

    I went to a French restaurant, and my lovely spouse, Mrs Chief, ordered snails. Not me though. I like fast food. //NOW it's a game thread.//

    Get out of that right wing sanctuary Phoenix. Move to liberal Tucson. And lose about 8 degrees in the summer as a bonus.

    bWAR it is. minimum 500 PAs each. double down on fWAR?

    Maybe he should be underwhelmed by the options the Twins have to slot in his spot when he's on the field. I know I am.
  17. USAFChief
    I think the ultimate question s his hands. Fielding ground balls at a level acceptable in the big leagues is really, really hard.
  18. USAFChief
    You mean RF, right?

    Five conference road wins. Five. That's like, Tubby's career total, no?

    Tell ya what...I don't even need the 3-1 you think would be fair. Give me 2-1. I'll take Dozier. My six pack of a beverage of your choice against your two six packs of a beverage of my choice. Deal?

    That this article could be written is in itself an indictment of the SS situation.
  22. USAFChief
    Bleeping stupid.

    It took 18 hrs for this response? I'm disappointed in the TD community.

    Clearly Molitor's job is maximizing production of his "division." (he is more akin to a divisional VP than a retail store manager like at your local DQ.) Part of that job description would be doing everything he can to ensure he has the right skills in his workforce, and part of that would be letting his boss know where he has, and likely will have, deficiencies. I would think he could/should have had a conversation something like: "Hey Ter...is there some reason Polanco isn't playing any short in Rochester? If Nuney is hurt or traded we're going to need him there, and looking at next year..."

    Agree with much of this, but I think we need to put things in some perspective. Getting 2-3 years of a utility infielder, even from a 32nd round pick,is not a huge success. Its a success for that guy, but not the organization. A utility infielder does little to add wins to an organization, and what little value they have isn't hard or expensive to find. You need your minor leagues to produce good, above average everyday players, and the occasional star or three. This isn't about just getting players to the big leagues. Every team does that. Getting players who can win pennants is the goal.
