    Just more proof how cheap the Twins really are. They man their AAA outfield with one paycheck.

    My guess is Meyer is going into the Rochester rotation in the hopes it speeds up the process of getting him ready to help the Twins bullpen. Edit: although I agree with spy that a two week injury fill in might not be out of the realm of possibility. All of this depends on Meyer performing of course.

    Van Morrison, "Moondance" Eagles "Hotel California" Steely Dan "Countdown tp Ecstasy" A subscription to XM so I can listen to Outlaw Country and baseball. If that's cheating, Dire Straights "Greatest Hits"

    See, that's where you lose me.
  5. USAFChief
    Yes.

    Former MLB player and long time broadcaster Joe Garagiola has passed away at 90. Some of you are probably too young, but for many of us, Garagiola was one of the voices that introduced us to televised MLB, via the NBC "Game of the Week." One of the voices that will always say "baseball" to me. A good one, too. RIP, Joe.

    In fairness, everyone's bat speed looks pretty slow while drawing a walk.

    records are made to be broken.

    You'll get no argument from me about not addressing the bullpen this past winter. I wanted them to add at least one quality arm from outside the org. However, if anything, moving May to the pen actually DOES indicate 2016's win total is a high priority. They just should have done more.
  10. USAFChief
    They should do what they think will win the most games in 2016. 2017 and beyond should come well behind that in any team list of priorities, pretty much always IMO.

    Kinda off topic, but pullpen related: over on Twinkie Town there's an article up claiming that Tonkin has thrown 46 pitches in games so far this spring, 45 for strikes. That can't possibly be correct, can it? I'm going to assume that's the author not knowing that spring training "game day" pitch counts aren't accurate.

    As opposed to the actual minor leaguers Duffey faced today?
  13. USAFChief
    This would be one time when I agree with Law. I think this trade will be viewed as a steal by the Yankees a couple years from now.

    I doubt he's raising all this money from $20 donations from college kids. He's getting some serious money from somewhere.
  15. USAFChief
    I think he was pretty close to a lock even before that date.

    Side note: where is Bernie getting all the money? In the week leading up to Arizona's primary yesterday, I saw at least 40 Bernie ads on TV, probably more. Not one Trump ad, a couple each for Clinton and Cruz.

    What a sad, sad place we've arrived at when a predicted .789 OPS for our $23M first baseman is (fairly) seen as optimistic.
  18. USAFChief
    Yeah...such a rare treat.
  19. USAFChief
    Whether The Laroches are homeschooling the kid or not, he would seem to be missing an awful lot of school if he's spending six days a week at dad's work from February through September, no?
  20. USAFChief
    Concur, but I think you give way more weight to now than the future, because the future is tough to predict, at least for baseball.
  21. USAFChief
    I take that as a shot at Tom Kelly, who probably had the biggest influence on Otriz time in the organization and his subsequent release.
  22. USAFChief
    Whether the decision is correct or not is different from why they made it. Some here argue from the position of "what is best for Sano?" ( or Trevor May in another thread.). That shouldn't be why a sports team makes decisions. They seem to think this is the route to the most wins. Perhaps they're right, perhaps they're wrong.
  23. USAFChief
    This is a sports team. You treat your most important asset in the way you believe ends up winning you the most games.
  24. USAFChief
    Source?

    Actually,"one and done" is the name of my morning exercise routine. I'm a big fan.
