    Pennsylvania math?
  2. USAFChief
    Late to the proceedings, but the 2nd base umpire HAS to call the automatic DP on the grounder to 2nd, earlier in the inning. HAS to.

    huh...that could be me in the bottom row, second from the right. Can't tell without my glasses.

    Francisco mem'ries Misty watercolor ones Wild or not wild? Yes.

    you know what they say..."Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man..."...well darn, I'm oh-for-three. Again.

    Some time in AAA might or might not help Vargas, but the point is, what is most helpful to the 2015 Twins? For the record, while your point might be valid, they mostly ride airplanes in AAA.
  7. USAFChief
    My vote: same as before, I think Pelfrey should be in the pen. That has a chance to improve both the rotation and the pen.
  8. USAFChief
    This IS the same Tommy Milone, right??
  9. USAFChief
    Fix the bullpen and stop giving away roster spots would be a good start.

    I agree, " as often as possible." Where we differ is, "forget about the present" seems to me to eliminate the possibility of "as often as possible." If punting the present had any strong likelihood of improving the future, I would feel less strongly about this, but I don't think it does. It wasn't you, but your post about "2016" has been written here in 2012 about 2013, in 2013 about 2014, and 2014 about 2015. We were even promised parades by now. :-)

    I see "the benefit of not playing him" as a practical matter...the Twins are once again playing with a 24 man roster instead of 25. Whether that's because they wait around for a week with an injury, or to carry someone who won't play is pretty much the same thing. If they want to send down Vargas once Arcia returns, wait till then. For now let Rosario play OF, and Escobar be the utility infielder. Vargas will get enough ABs, or he shouldn't have made the team out of spring training.

    Non concur. Strongly. The team's W-L record is the least important thing? It is the ONLY thing that matters. The goal is to win games, to get to the postseason, and to win the WS. Developing prospects is secondary to that, always. They are currently over .500. In contention for a wildcard. Improving on that should be the ONLY thing they worry about. If they get to a point where winning isn't possible, fine, make some moves with only the future in mind, at the expense of the present. But if management is not worrying primarily about 2015 right now, every single one should be fired. And for the record, I doubt they are thinking about 2016 right now. And while I'm on a good rant, please explain what Doug Bernier on the roster does for 2016.
  13. USAFChief
    looks a bit like Nishioka fielding a ground ball, no?
  14. USAFChief
    Are these stats meaningless? Bernier, age 35, career MiLB OPS: .674 Vargas, age 24, career MiLB OPS: .854 I ask again...what purpose does Bernier serve on the Twins? What does he bring to the roster that isn't already there?
  15. USAFChief
    Liriano and Worley sked for the Buccos. No word on Mike Redmond being signed as a player-coach to catch.
  16. USAFChief
    What does Bernier offer? At least Vargas is a PH option late in a game where you really could use a bomb.
  17. USAFChief
    PM chief.
  18. USAFChief
    winnah!

    Tying run to the plate. can't like.
  21. USAFChief
    concur.
  22. USAFChief
    I blame JB.
  23. USAFChief
    I'd go that far.
  24. USAFChief
    Wish, granted.
  25. USAFChief
    Big league play, Plouff-see.
