  1. I did not see this PH coming. Edit: I guess Shelton saw the LH available in the pen. I'm stupid.
  2. Im sorry. I apologize in advance, but this just bugs me... "Have." Not "of." Could have. Should have. Might have. Would have. Will have. Will not (won't) have. You are perhaps thinking of the common contraction "should've." Short for should have. Pedantic rant over.
  3. Gray batting against a LHer. Don't sign any long term leases, Mr Lewis.
  4. Keaschall effed that up at least as much as Wallner.
  5. Top prospect Gonzalez? Gonzalez has yet to take a single AB for the Twins. Currently posting a .633 OPS in St Paul. They wasted the money and resources needed for a starter on Andrew Desclafani. Thankfully he never tossed a pitch for the Twins. Topa... Carlos Santana is completely unrelated. That trade made the Twins weaker. Without question. Squandered an asset for worse than diddly squat.
  6. If I were a GM, I'd avoid using small sample sizes of offense, snipped from large samples, as proof of concept. Particularly while simultaneously mocking the use of small sample sizes of defense. And just so we're clear...is it your contention the Twins franchise is on great shape these days?
  7. Topa hanging around as a little reminder of one of the worst trades in team history.
  8. Gotta be tough for Delaware to make any money with $11 beers and $18 cheeseburgers.
  9. This season was over last trade deadline.
  10. Yep. Cycling through DFA claims is how you get the Twins pen. Also, the :just convert some starters" line we see trotted out sounds fine but it's hard to pull off and certainly can't be done in an offseason. Nobody has enough spare starters sitting around in the high minors with the kind of stuff needed to really be a difference maker to throw a half dozen at the issue. You might find one or two per year. Bullpens need to be built, with quality, over time.
  11. Hahaha. If we're talking big picture, this season ceased to matter last trade deadline.
  12. One reliever, even a good one, would make little difference. Good bullpens are 10 - 11 deep. Bad pitchers dont get better because you pitch them in the 7th instead of the 8th.
