    Run differential is the Twins biggest issue. If you can't figure out how to give up fewer, you can at least consider how to score more.
  2. USAFChief
    One of em HAS to be Mauer on first. He refused to swing in an RBI situation and drew a walk.
  3. USAFChief
    I will P&M about every one of them. Then I'll think to myself..."but the 3 runs are nice."
  4. USAFChief
    Do it.
  5. USAFChief
    yes

    I guess a PTBNL might be workable. But if the Twins accept cash as any part of a deal for Dozier, I'm heading down to 1 Twins Way with molotov cocktails.
  7. USAFChief
    Or perhaps the Dodgers would have a trophy in their case.

    Yoan Moncada says hi.

    I HATE this team. The ********** ******* *******'s are getting my hopes up.
  10. USAFChief
    That's an excellent question. I'll be disappointed if they haven't taken any action to improve the pitching prior to opening day. But I was happy with the hiring of new leadership, and I'm going to give them some time. One thing I'm absolutely positive about is this: while trading Dozier seems like one obvious way to try to get improved pitching on this team, it's not the only way. If it's the only way, then that, to me, makes it even MORE imperative they get a fantastic deal. Because if it's the ONLY way, and a trade is a failure, then by definition we are doomed. Forever.

    With all due respect...you don't have a point. If you are taking out Dozier's best year, then take out his competition's best year as well.
  12. USAFChief
    WAR is a terrible metric to value pitching, but using the coin of the realm...14-15 WAR from De Leon over the next six years is a pretty aggressive estimate. I'd be inclined to make the del if the Twins were somehow guaranteed something like that. But they aren't, and the most likely return is considerably less.

    It's only a start, but the recruiting class rating jumped 20 spots in 36 hours. One of the reasons I wanted Claeys fired was the awful recruiting. I'm very hopeful Fleck, over the course of a couple years, is able to recruit at least in the upper half of the B1G.
  14. USAFChief
    And hair. HOF hair.
  15. USAFChief
    And I think you overestimate how.much of a net gain a below average starter is, simply because you have him for a number of years. I agree we need pitching. I hope F/L prove to be resourceful enough to find it.
  16. USAFChief
    Ish indeed. But you don't trade Dozier to get a back of the rotation starter. By definition, below average, but not putrid starters, shouldn't be that hard to acquire. And that's a big reason why Ryan isn't, and shouldn't be, the GM. The record speaks for itself...whatever he was doing wasn't working. But we have new leadership. Hopefully, they can capably fill the end of the rotation ... Without using their best player as trade bait to do so. If the a twins make a trade, and De Leon ends up a decent #4 for 6 years, that's a failed trade. It certainly won't be any primary reason for any success over those years.

    I recognize Falvey and Levine, but who's the girl?
  18. USAFChief
    I kind of liked it. "Over the top" is too mild, but it seemed genuine to me.
  19. USAFChief
    Well, to me, "failed to meet expectations" = "got to the tournament and then maybe even did something" So I'm ok if they fail to meet my expectations.
  20. USAFChief
    He's building a wall, and Wisconsin is paying for it!
  21. USAFChief
    Fleck may or may not work out, it's always hard to tell in advance, but this is a home run hire. As much crap as Coyle has gotten in recent weeks, this was a demonstration of how a B1G level AD works. No "committee," no settling, no questions. He obviously knew ahead of time who was available and interested, and went out and got him. Immediately. Despite the serious issues currently surrounding the program. Well done. EDIT: and I concur with NIck...Fleck is nothing like Brewster.
  22. USAFChief
    How 'bout them Gophers??!?
  23. USAFChief
    I disagree strongly with sentences 1 and 2. Very strongly. I'm not sure what you mean by sentence 3.
  24. USAFChief
    Sounds like Fleck. IMO that's the best possible outcome. I hope in 4 years or so we're terrified he's leaving.
  25. USAFChief
    no.
