  1. Worrying about a pinch runner role is like worrying about your house paint color when your roof leaks badly and the foundation is rotted out.
  2. Are you sure about this? Perhaps you're thinking of Eddie Gaedel?
  3. None. With the Twins sweep, there won't be any save opportunities.
  4. I cheated. Are you looking for 5'3" Senator Yo-Yo Davalillo?
  5. Let's just focus on one problem here..."comparing players from different eras." WAR incorporates defensive measures. Ignoring the inherent difficulty of measuring defense using today’s methods...Tell me how Fangraphs measures Harmon Killebrew's defense.
  6. 1. Decent job sorting through guys nobody wanted? Huh? 2. There's no such thing as "fine as the 7th or 8th guy." There's no such thing as "low leverage."
  7. Much respect for you David, but I could not disagree more strongly. Provus is fantastic IMO. I hope stays for decades.
  8. As for the crowd, I'm surprised there's so many people there.
  9. Everyone would do well to remember Peter is not an actual poster. Peter is a bit. He thinks he's funny.
  10. Always enjoy these recaps, Nick. Even if the subject matter itself is rather ... distasteful.
  11. Turns out you can't just assemble a pen from the DFA list. I mean, you can. Just not one that helps.
  12. Only fair to start every player once a week? Hard No. This isnt little league.
  13. At Twins Daily, there are a lot of interesting articles on the front page, but we encourage you to dig into the other pages on this site. Check out the Blogs page to see more Twins content. You can even start your own Twins blog there. And then there are some great discussions in the Twins Daily forums as well Here are just a few of the topics from this week. Mick Abel to the IL Mick Abel looked the part of big-league starter through 20 innings pitched this season, before being sidelined with an injury. Matthew Trueblood wrote an excellent piece with tons of great info, leading to lots of good takes by the TD faithful...you should be adding yours! Luke Keaschall and Sophomore Slump Small sample size, of course, but Luke Keaschall looked the part of polished big league hitter last year--in between injuries at least. This year has been a struggle, to put it kindly. Cody Christie takes a look at the "sophomore slump." What do you think? History of MLB #3 Picks I'm not much of a prospect work, but I know many of you are. TD always does a fantastic job covering the MLB draft. Here's Jamie Cameron's stab at who might the Twins select with the third overall pick this summer. Agree? Disagree? Lots of great info and opinions here.

  15. I'm all for playing Martin more, but please, let's not "play him all over the field," or "drop him in at 2nd base." Let's leave him alone to learn and play a position. One of the issues with Martin has been defense. He's been getting better in LF. Leave him there. Anybody can play anywhere is just a bad idea.
  16. Johan Santana led the 2004 Twins in Ws (20). Follow up: who had the 2nd most wins for the 04 Twins? (((Distant cousin of Carlos Santana?)))
