    I think the plan for Graham has always been to stash him at the back of the pen, similar to most rule 5 guys. If he can work his way into higher leverage usage, I think the Twins will allow it. But I don't blame them for not using him that way to date, and personally I wouldn't trust him with a 1run lead now yet, either.
  2. USAFChief
    As to the OP, the only things I'm wondering are why he was signed in the first place (which was the reaction of 90 percent of this board when it happened), and why it took so long to DFA him.

    I think the Twins think they need 13 pitchers because the 8 man bullpen was really 6. Stuffer and Graham were not usable in any game still winnable or losable, so most days it's like they weren't there. That was bad enough, but recently both Perkins and Thompson are LOOGYs at best, so now how big is the bullpen?
  4. USAFChief
    Good. However, the thread title is a bit misleading. Bout gave an old man a coronary.
  5. USAFChief
    Except where we could use it.

    For my money, he's looked like a big league hitter, and a low minor's SS. Shaky, all the way around, on defense. A bad error, but mostly just really shaky all around, even plays he made looked iffy. But one game isn't much to go on, in either case.
  7. USAFChief
    yes. //obligatory//
  8. USAFChief
    Well, now you DO sound just like Mrs Chief.
  9. USAFChief
    I do love me some Jon Miller on the radio. Fabulous.
  10. USAFChief
    You think I'm crazy too?
  11. USAFChief
    Don't feel bad, my wife doesn't even need a thunderstorm to think the same of me.
  12. USAFChief
    seems like photoshop'd do the trick, at least to sew some temporary uncertainty, and'd be way cheaper to boot.

    They had been, for two months, pretty fun to watch. Recently, this is the opposite of fun to watch. It'll pass, the question is, will they still be in contention when it does?
  14. USAFChief
    Meanwhile, how does Dozier not beat that out?
  15. USAFChief
    FIFY.
  16. USAFChief
    nitpic: it's "Smalls." And you really should watch the movie. Fantastic!
  17. USAFChief
    Well played, Mauer.
  18. USAFChief
    Nothing says "we take ourselves seriously" quite like seeing Shane Robinson up to hit late in a game you trail, with runners on.
  19. USAFChief
    Call me crazy, but I don't think proper technique on a grounder involves the ball contacting the shoulder or chest.
  20. USAFChief
    Has a KC hitter even had to lean back from a pitch yet?
  21. USAFChief
    Well played, all around.
  22. USAFChief
    Bring back the trees, hope St Peter doesn't notice. Cut concession prices in half, hope St Peter doesn't notice. Trade for Cole Hamels, hope spinowner doesn't notice. Trade for Troy Tulowitzki, hope spinowner doesn't notice. Start making moves in an attempt to fix the pen, starting with Oliveros, then dipping into AA, don't care which names, just give me someone who can break a pane of glass with his fastball, hope Mikewantswins notices.
  23. USAFChief
    Anyone else having site issues?
  24. USAFChief
    Teams not even bothering to put someone in RF any more?
  25. USAFChief
    How long before teams don't even bother to play a right fielder with Mauer at the plate?
