    Ouch.

    I wouldn't have even let him pitch to Eaton.
  5. USAFChief
    Well that disintegrated quickly.

    Just gettin' home from work. How much are we down?

    But that's not a fair representation of the options. It's something in 2016, followed by the possibility of something in the five years after 2016, or nothing in 2016, followed by the possibility of something in the five years after 2016.

    On the other hand, consumption reports often result in public action.

    To state the obvious...don't make the decision to have Berrios pitch in Rochester last night. Problem solved. He's clearly one of the 15 best healthy pitchers in the org, no? Really, this traces back to the pretty disastrous decision to have Trevor May make that spot start. That should've been Berrios, with a decision later to keep one of Berrios/Duffey in the Twins rotation, and the other either back to the Rochester rotation or to the Twins bullpen. But that's water under the bridge, not to mention it's not a reason to compound the mistake by having him continue to burn innings in AAA.

    1. The Twins aren't signing Chris Davis. Let's be realistic. 2. If they did sign Davis, they can still get something that will be on the field and producing in 2016 for Plouffe. It's not one or the other. 3. The Twins aren't siging Wieters. Let's be realistic.

    I'm not interested in trading Plouffe if the return is minor league talent that might be useful in 2019. Jeebus, can we ever worry about winning actual games now, instead of theoretical ones far off in someone's imagination? Plouffe can be dealt, but if so, the return better be on the field, and producing, in 2016.

    If its an innings thing, how are the innings pitched in Rochester less harmful than innings in Minneapolis? Since he hasn't been shut down, innings isnt a justification for anything. Whatever they think he has left for 2015 could be pitched in Minnesota, and a bullpen role staring a few weeks ago, or now even, would have added less innings than a rotation spot in Rochester. If its control in 2022, well, personally I think that's just....asinine. Trying to predict what next week looks like is difficult. Trying to predict what your MLB needs will be seven seasons from now, or the value of one 21 year old will be, is impossible. And even if you could, why is that inherently more important than the certainty of a postseason chase today?

    I think the lesson was always "don't let arms like that leave the organization if you can help it."
  14. USAFChief
    Opening a roster spot for Fryer is somewhat questionable, but another catcher does allow for more pinch hitting. I'm fine with Kepler not getting a call. But why Berrios hasn't had some role in Minnesota for a few weeks now is aggravating to say the least.
  15. USAFChief
    Watch your back, Mr Orange. Watch your back.
  16. USAFChief
    Perkins is still cheap, if he maintains anything close to peak performance.
  17. USAFChief
    I think possibly all the spare forks in MN were used up on various ball players.
  18. USAFChief
    MI thought then, and still do, the move was to sign Liriano to a cheap 3 or 4 year extension.
  19. USAFChief
    Another GM bites the dust. Quite the fall from the heady "#6 org" days. The asst GM he brought with him didnt even last this long...Blengino writes for Fangraphs these days.
  20. USAFChief
    When I look at Sano, I see (or hope I see) Harmon Killebrew. With a few more K's. That'd be OK with me.
  21. USAFChief
    Van, my man...long time many time, Yada yada. It appears an 8 man bullpen isn't enough for the local 9. Any ideas?
  22. USAFChief
    I don't think "we couldn't predict 2015 correctly, but trust us when we predict 2021" carries a lot of weight. Maybe that's just me.
  23. USAFChief
    "A solid reliever" doesn't fix the pen. In any case, as I said, if the Twins can pull off a bullpen overhaul that doesn't include May, great. But I'll need to see that first. I also tend to believe many fans put too little emphasis on the pen, and underestimate the difficulty of building a deep and consistently effective one.
  24. USAFChief
    IMO you have that backwards...any GM more worried about 2021 than a playoff run should be fired.
  25. USAFChief
    If they add multiple "good FA relievers" I will reevaluate my position on this. Bu I don't see that as even remotely likely.
