    yes.

    Halsey picked a good day to go golfing.

    I'm looking for a game thread vol for Tues-Thur this week vs Oakland, May 5, 6, 7. Any takers?
  4. USAFChief
    concur.
  5. USAFChief
    yes.

    How dare they?! Celebrating good things, and trying to generate interest in their product.

    Absolutely true. Perhaps also not based on 75 PAs. I also think a guy almost 40 at least has a chance to approximate what he did when he was almost 39. For the record, I doubted Hunter would move the needle much from the day he was signed. But to me he doesn't look "done," just farther away from his prime. Someday, he'll be far enough away to no longer be able tp play big league ball. im not convinced that day is today. He's still in good physical shape, still has the bat speed, still can play a respectable corner OF. I like that he will do whatever it takes to win a game...I think there's value in young players learning the big leagues are a zero sum game. To win, someone else had to lose. Those other people don't just let you win, you have to take it from them.

    Never again. Not even in mixed rec league softball. Which is a good thing, because people who take a walk in mixed rec league softball should be stripped of their citizenship and deported. Without appeal or trial.

    Perhaps it's less "good timing" for the post you quoted and more "bad timing" for the OP, and all those who jumped on that bandwagon. I'd like to see more than a handful of PA's before I ignore the previous 9000. By the by, what does UZR say about Hunter in 2015?
  10. USAFChief
    Florimon had a .611 OPS (68 OPS+) for the Twins in 2013, not .661. Career big league OPS .565.
  11. USAFChief
    I agree he's miscast as a four hitter. I think he'll be just fine at lead off, or batting second.
  12. USAFChief
    Actually, I'd wager a cold Molson he doesn't put up a .700 OPS in AAA, either. He hasn't posted a .700 OPS since A ball. His career minor league OPS is below .700.
  13. USAFChief
    I'm confused...the Twins should play the guy who "did not get his swing going" instead of the guy who "got his going" in hopes the first guy might get his swing going? That doesn't seem so clear to me.
  14. USAFChief
    If there was ever a place where "out of context" is ok, this is it.
  15. USAFChief
    If the White Sox aren't above .500 by May 15th, I bet they have a new manager. Lots of expectations there, and he wasn't on firm ground to start with.
  16. USAFChief
    Yesterday we learned a 4 run lead wasn't safe from the bullpen. Let's see what they can do with a 7 run cushion.
  17. USAFChief
    His next AB? EDIT: Or did you mean to the minors?
  18. USAFChief
    That prospects are hard to gauge, and face setbacks, should be part of the timeline. You can't set up a plan that relies on a series of unlikely events to line up perfectly to suceed, and then write it off as "no one's fault" when those events don't line up. There are other methods of assembling winning talent than "wait through a half decade of suckage to get enough top picks to eventually emerge in another half decade."
  19. USAFChief
    Just your routine ol' 5-6-3 PO.
  20. USAFChief
    Quick TR...offer up Milone for Sale. Look at the ERA!!1!
  21. USAFChief
    By the by...another fine job by guest game thread host Sample Size of One. We now have a large enough sample size to say Sample Size of One's talent is not just a small sample size.
  22. USAFChief
    off topic.
  23. USAFChief
    Who's this ragarm on the mound for the b**** sox?
  24. USAFChief
    Oliveros would require a 40 man move, no?
  25. USAFChief
    He had moved toward CF to back the play up. Had the ball bounced off the wall toward the infield, he would have been in position. When that ball hit off the top of the wall, it then bounced off Schafer's leg and rolled along the fence toward RF, 90 degrees from where it "should" have bounced. And it rolled a long way. Ironically, had Arcia loafed, he would have been in much better position to retrieve that ball.
