  1. Sano might be a bad right fielder, he might be acceptable. But I don't think it's too strenuous. I don't think a couple short sprints an inning or four previous to his third AB of a game is going to mean he doesn't have the legs for that AB any more. In fact, I'm rather incredulous that theory exists.
  2. Our catching situation is even worse than we thought.
  3. If spring training counts, Quentin has done enough to make the team.
  4. "May" Wait, that's only 3 letters. Are you sure 3 down, and not 3 across?
  5. Just as long as he doesn't show the rest of us.
  6. If we're contending nobody is treating fWAR as gospel in this thread, then to be fair, it should be pointed out nobody is contending May "sucked" either.
  7. I can't wait for the fireworks when President Clinton nominates former President Obama for the SCOTUS seat formerly held by Justice Scalia.
  8. Concur, except the part about adding reliever(s) this past winter. I don't think they ever made any serious attempt. Trades are possible, too, if one believes money should have gotten in the way. And if they had added only one solid pen arm, I'd still think May to the pen probably makes the most sense.
  9. 70 innings of Burdi/Chargois for the 2016 Twins would most likely be a disaster. Chargois has 64 professional innings total, 33 above A ball. Burdi is probably a better bet to be ready at some point this year or next, but certainly can't be considered a sure thing in April, 2016. In fact, were the Twins counting on either of them for prominent bullpen roles to begin 2016, THAT would be something to complain about. Loudly.
  10. I have to admit a certain admiration for the sheer audacity to proudly display the hypocrisy it takes to declare the nomination needs to wait for an election and then turn around and decry the "politcizing" of the process. There's a certain magnificence in the ability to say such things with a straight face.
  11. I don't dispute it might cost him money...but many of the same folks up in arms about Trevor May's potential loss of income turn around and argue the Twins should keep Berrios (for example) in the minors for two weeks to delay free agency by a year. That certainly has the potential to cost Berrios money down the road, what's the difference? I suspect nobody really cares about how much money it costs May, they're just looking for reasons to oppose a decisiion they don't agree with. There may be baseball reasons why May to the bullpen doesn't make sense. Make them. You also won't get any argument from me over the Twins lack of effort in improving the bullpen over the winter, but depending on who they had added, I'd probably still think putting May in the pen was a good idea. Not to mention, they DIDN'T address the bullpen, so "what ifs" are fun, but don't get guys out in the 8th inning of a 1 run game.
  12. I have a hard time getting worked up over the possibility that Trevor May might make less money as a reliever. That's an argument? Seriously?
  13. Gotta go make supper. Bring it on home, ladies and germs. Good thread.
  14. Sano is so athletic, the back of his baseball card is two baseball cards. DiscGolfer drinks.
  15. Nope, it really happened. Busted out of the box and legged a triple into a double.
  16. If we're making food confessions...I love Olive Garden.
  17. Sano is so athletic when he turns out the light at night he's in bed before it gets dark. DiscGolfer drinks.
  18. The potato oles are still on point.
  19. Disk golfer, at this point, has to reach UP to get a beer off the bottom shelf.
  20. Either that or there was massive amounts of saki involved.
