    I'm guessing it's a Warren Zevon reference.
  8. USAFChief
    Dickbert are shocked.

    Would be nice to have a do-over on Mauer's base running gaffes about now.

    On Pinto specifically, wasn't there general consensus he would come north until the concussion scare late in spring? That's obviously not a concern, so I would view bringing him up differently. Bringing him up would be more of a return to the plan than a change from it, no?

    The Twins have had years to watch and evaluate Santana's ability to play SS. They made a decision this winter to play him there, and had an entire spring training (not just games) to evaluate that decision. Nothing he's done in 2015 should be a huge surprise to them. I hope they aren't changing their minds based on 10 games. Things can change, for the better or the worse, but I don't think you decide they've changed for good based on such limited data. Let him play.

    Lucky you.

    We most likely have a thread winner already.

    My "nonconcur" was for the statement that "you fill a ML roster with mediocrity until a legitimate building block comes along. There are no other options." I think there are other options.
  15. USAFChief
    Concur.
  16. USAFChief
    No other options? No GM was able to upgrade the talent on the big league roster this past offseason? Every GM is reduced to filling out his roster with mediocrity waiting for legitimate building blocks? Nonconcur.

    Brock's got it right. When enough people make it a campaign issue, politicians will take note. But my guess is, there are more than enough people who like the law to keep it as it is.

    I knew that...it was a poor attempt at humorous word play on my part.
  19. USAFChief
    No, I'm pretty sure they've been called the "Wild" since the franchise was awarded.
  20. USAFChief
    We need a couple runs here. Minimum.
  21. USAFChief
    I'm going to assume these numbers are from baseball ref? Can someone explain the methodology? It's not making sense to me. Looking at career numbers for Mauer, for example, I see ..437, .339, and .376 as batting averages when hitting to left, center, and right, respectively. But that can't be correct, because Mauer's career batting average is .318. So I'm not sure what the "hit location" is measuring, but it's not his overall numbers when going to a specific field. It can't be.
  22. USAFChief
    Gad-ZOOK's!
  23. USAFChief
    And .204/.204/.241 to RF. Neither his "to RF" or "to LF" numbers mean much out of context though. He hit .277/.367/.371 overall, which is what matters. And why he needs to be able to pull the ball, just as much as dead pull hitters would benefit from learning to go the opposite way sometimes. Maybe some are happy with an empty OBP from a three hitter, I'm not.
  24. USAFChief
    Shaizah.
  25. USAFChief
    I could not disagree more. IMO, the inability to pull the ball last year got out of hand. He and Brunansky seem to agree with me, BTW...it's been mentioned on several telecasts now that they worked hard to restore RF to the realm of possible for Mauer.
