    Every arm in a bullpen matters. Every arm in a pen will find themselves in multiple games that have yet to be decided over the course of a season. The "last man" will be in fewer than the first several, for sure, but close games happen all the time in MLB and you can't just have an arm that you only use in blowouts. He'll be needed.

    I don’t think Jason Belmonte* agrees about the speed of a bowling ball limiting hook. *probably the world’s best bowler

    I bet I can predict 80 percent of what Bert Blyleven says.

    I will be shocked if anyone still thinks Adrianza is a starting SS by June 1.

    In this thread, you've stated that - masking agents aren't as good in the DR as in the US - MLB deliberately set up a system that will catch a few players but let the majority pass - MLB WANTs players to use PEDs, in fact they've actually "set up a system that pushes PED use" - No one in baseball think the players are to blame for PED use. ... I don't think it's Nick with the strawmen.

    is it just Dominicans who are too weak to resist? All Latinos? All poor people? The solution is for players to stop taking the shortcut of PED use. Not in making excuses because some players don't have the ability to do so.
  7. USAFChief
    Right. That's why MLB and the union set up an elaborate and reasonably rigorous drug testing program, with penalties you've already said are too stiff. Because both the players and the teams want the players using PEDs.

    oh for Pete's sake. Jorge Polanco illegally boosting his career is denying some other player the ability to preserve their future. As if ANYone has a heaven-sent right to a MLB career to begin with. If I lie on my resume to get a good paying job that should have gone to you, to preserve my future, is that also ok with you?
  9. USAFChief
    "Polanco noted that he is fully aware of how the B-12 vitamin got into his system." B-12 vitamin?
  10. USAFChief
    The Mitchell report came out over 10 years ago, and the changes to MLB's drug policy came about at least partly because of the Mitchell report. How would the Twins know who Jorge Polanco is training with in the offseason? How would they prevent him from training with anyone he choses? The Twins are the biggest victim here, not the perpetrator.
  11. USAFChief
    No one in baseball thinks that's true? Source please. BTW, if not Jorge Polanco, who do we blame for Jorge Polanco? I'd also like to know how you propose the Twins "stop letting players train with the Angel Presenals of the world."
  12. USAFChief
    did you add 20 pounds without affecting your waist size?
  13. USAFChief
    won't the owners have to pay a salary to someone else on the 25 man roster? Baseball is "pretending" to test players, and issue 80 game suspensions? Jim Pohlad shouldn't have to pay for Jorge Polanco's screw up, any more than he already is by the damage done to his product by Jorge Polanco. There is no conspiracy here, no racism, no back door deal, no cover up, no targeting. Baseball came to it's senses, bargained with the union, and came up with a sensible, enforceable policy that has benefited everyone from owners, to players, to fans. The game is better for it. Jorge Polanco violated that policy, got caught, and now must pay the penalty. It's as simple as that. sheesh.
  14. USAFChief
    IMO there is zero possibility he didn't know what he was taking. None.
  15. USAFChief
    I think that's a myth. Guys that give up a lot of baserunners have high pitch counts.
  16. USAFChief
    If Garver is much better in center, I pray Buxton stays healthy.
  17. USAFChief
    Concur.
  18. USAFChief
    Good stuff Nick. Suggestion: Add someone really old to your trivia team. Someone for whom it’s not really trivia but more like a recap of what used to be “current events.” I know a guy.
  19. USAFChief
    Probably too late, with this extended string of dominance.

    Lance Lynn: Greatest Twins pitcher of this decade, or greatest all time?
  21. USAFChief
    I would have preferred the Arrieta deal, but it’s close, and even I understand committing $75m is a lot different than committing $12m. They’ve done quite a remarkable makeover of the pitching staff. That’s enough.
  22. USAFChief
    No you didn’t.
  23. USAFChief
    This is not Terry Ryan's team any more, for sure.
  24. USAFChief
    I think you mean "median." A bit below median.
  25. USAFChief
    I don’t think Dozier has the arm to play third. He struggles as it is.
