    Harold Reynolds? Well that settles it.
  2. USAFChief
    Concur.
  3. USAFChief
    I want Buxton in CF, and Arraez at 1b or 2b or 3b. There's 400 PAs for good hitter at DH easy. You don't make the Twins better by sticking Gilbert Celestino in CF and Buxton at DH.
  4. USAFChief
    Relax. Dylan Bundy's price tag is dropping into Twins Territory as we speak, and I suspect we'll be stashing minor league FA relievers at St Paul any day now.
  5. USAFChief
    Nice work on the article.
  6. USAFChief
    WAR is ****.
  7. USAFChief
    Better to set $11m on fire in the form of Joey Gallo, and watch 200 plus K's to go with 90 hits.
  8. USAFChief
    Let's compare JD Martinez to Joey Gallo. Last year. Last 4 years. Career. Whatever. Please. Let's do a comparison. Martinez is 36, and might be in decline, but his CAREER OPS is higher than every year of Gallo's career except 2019...a 300 PA year for Gallo BTW. And Martinez OPS isn't built solely on walks and a few HRs. Joey Gallo can't hold Martinez' jock as a hitter.

    At your age you should be careful you don't fall and break your hipster.
  10. USAFChief
    Martinez was a much better lineup add, IMO.

    If you're defending something you don't believe you're either in debate class in high school, or arguing just for the sake of it
  12. USAFChief
    I'm OK not getting Swanson. And SS was filled when we traded for Farmer. THAT'S what I'll pile on for.
  13. USAFChief
    Wut?
  14. USAFChief
    Then maybe next time say "only batting average."
  15. USAFChief
    "Gallo's been good-to-great every year BUT one." Ah...no. he's had one good to great half-season (2019).
  16. USAFChief
    Your implication then is that batting average DOES say something important about Gallo's offense? Because if not, you're completely missing the point of Joey Gallo. He can't ******* hit.
  17. USAFChief
    Did you know not all OBP is not created equal? Walks aren't worth as much as singles. And worth way less than XBHs. The idea that batting average isn't important is poppycock.
  18. USAFChief
    I'll miss the "home run in a silo" jokes. Never gets old.
  19. USAFChief
    Not just dancers Mike. Ballet dancers.
  20. USAFChief
    I'm going to miss being informed 100 times per year that Kepler's parents were ballet dancers. And I prefer a 3 hopper to 2nd on a 3-2 count vs a called strike 3 on a 3-2 count, thankyouverymuch.
  21. USAFChief
    I guess I can understand this process, but... The recurring embarrassing gaffes, completely missing obvious new info, really does this place no favors IMO. It makes TD look like amateur hour. I suggest refining the process.
  22. USAFChief
    It isn't just annoying, IMO. It makes it hard to take TD seriously. It's amateurish. Sloppy.
  23. USAFChief
    F. Only because that's the lowest option. Why? How does this help IN ANY WAY?? The only thing this accomplished was moving Falvey farther along in his annual wasting of whatever salary is available for FAs.
  24. USAFChief
    Every year. Instead of going out and getting players that actually help us win, we get the leftovers. The dregs. The "gotta spend this somewhere" FAs that do NOTHING for the team except fill a roster spot and soak up salary. We don't get rotation help, we get JA Happ. We don't spend for actual bullpen pieces, we sign half a dozen DFAs and watch them stink up the place two or three at a time, lather rinse repeat. We don't assemble a rotation over the winter, we overpay for mediocrity at the deadline. We don't spend the money to get an actual player at SS, but we can sure waste a minor league piece for Kyle Farmer and portion off that $30m on 3 or 4 wastes of space. We need a new front office.
  25. USAFChief
    Stop it. He's put up a borderline elite OPS once, in 2019, in less than 300 PAs. Based on a ****load of walks and some all or nothing power. He's had 100 hits in a season ONCE. Never driven in 100 runs. Never scored 100 runs. Joey Gallo is not an elite hitter. Not close.
