    No. And keep it up, Platoon. First ban of the new season will feel SO, SO GOOD.

    Happy day everyone! Shameless plug: there are a half dozen or so April game threads still in need of a volunteer...you know what to do!

    Logan Morrison says hi.

    I don’t know what your definition of bad hitter is, but he’s got a .719 career minor league OPS and hasn’t slugged .400 at A, AA, or AAA. I don’t like Granite much, but I’ll take him over LaMarre.
  18. USAFChief
    Only 150?? Great, another china doll. Bilateral carple tunnel weakness?
  19. USAFChief
    He has 2800 PAs in the minors. We already know what he'll do. I sure wish the Twins had added a RH hitting OFer over the winter, but LaMarre ain't it.
  20. USAFChief
    Holy cow, Tom...impressive editorial work!
  21. USAFChief
    LaMarre’s problem isn’t splits, it’s that he’s not a good hitter against ANY pitching. He has over 2800 MiLB PAs with a .719 OPS. On a side note, I also mistrust almost any “reverse platoon split.” There are small sample size examples, but the number of hitters who actually hit same handed pitching better over time is minuscule. I will bet against those small sample size examples continuing every time, and I’ll win that bet almost every time. The Twins could really have benefitted from bringing in a decent RH OF bat.

    Joe Mauer isn’t winning or losing a job based on spring training. The backup outfielder, a bullpen job or two, the backup catcher...these are often a different situation. There is a competition going on in ST, and those jobs will be won or lost based on talent, tools, and track record, AND on how those players perform in spring. As mentioned above, spring includes not only the games, but over a month of daily workouts and practice from which the staff can judge. How else would you do that?
  23. USAFChief
    Congrats!
  24. USAFChief
    Given he throws LH, I doubt it.
  25. USAFChief
    As it should be.
