    Dozier, by quite a bit. Buxton a distant second.
  2. USAFChief
    And fWAR for pitchers is...even worse than for hitters.
  3. USAFChief
    I fear it might already be too late to get a decent discount. The incentives for Buxton to sign such a deal are melting away. His chances of not having an MLB career at this point are down to injury risk.
  4. USAFChief
    Right, but we shouldn't hold his youth against him.
  5. USAFChief
    Buxton for sure. For as many years as he'll agree to. Sano is a tougher call, but I probably make an offer. I am leery about what security might do to motivation. Rosario, I just let it ride at least another year. Sign Berrios too.
  6. USAFChief
    Play hard. As hard as you can. To do less doesn't make you immune from injury, and is an insult to the game.
  7. USAFChief
    Consider yourself perma-banned.
  8. USAFChief
    We get your point, but that's not MLB. As for Molitor, I hope he's better than I think he is. Which is entirely possible.
  9. USAFChief
    Sung to the tune of George Of The Jungle, I presume
  10. USAFChief
    Miguel Sano got a vote?
  11. USAFChief
    I still think PJ is a good hire and will be the best Gopher coach since Warmath. He inherited a team that didn't recruit well enough the last couple years. Particularly at skill positions. Let's give him more than two B10 games.
  12. USAFChief
    If the Twins aren't good situational hitters, why would you waste an out bunting, to put the team in a situation calling for situational hitting? If they're not good at getting a runner in from third with 1 out...you bunt to put a runner on third with one out??
  13. USAFChief
    Yes, this is the disagreement. IMO he lost plenty of games by leaving his starter in until the damage was done.
  14. USAFChief
    I don't know about that. Would Molitor have removed his best starter in the top of the first after recording 1 out? I sincerely doubt it. It's one of his primary weaknesses...his strong tendency to wait until his starter has suffered max damage, and THEN remove him. And it has nothing to do with the quality of his bullpen. If it did, he'd leave the starter in after the 3 run HR too.
  15. USAFChief
    Great work, Tom. Hope you're back next year.
  16. USAFChief
    Revere has a career .280 MLB BA.
  17. USAFChief
    Concur. I thought the umpiring was great. Tight zone. And there were a number of Twins hitters who got pitches to hit, and didn't. Umpiring had nothing to do with this loss.
  18. USAFChief
    He has 300 PAs of decent in AAA. Nothing of consequence (.700-ish OPS) in his other 4 minor league seasons. Zero power. His "good ABs" added up to a .611 OPS this year. If Zach Granite is your plan for fourth OFer, you're doing it wrong.
  19. USAFChief
    As a minor league emergency depth piece...ok. A 6th or 7th OFer. As a regular backup major league OFer? Wayyyyyy too limited offensively. No arm. No thanks.
  20. USAFChief
    The Twins SHOULDT have knocked Severino out in the first? That was the mistake?
  21. USAFChief
    no. Pray tell, what IS the difference?
  22. USAFChief
    Whew, I'm home. Wasn't sure I'd make it in time for the game, my car wouldn't start and I had to take the bus home. I feel kind of bad too...the ride home reminded me how mean people can be. As I was sitting on the bus, a young lady got on with her baby. The bus driver took a look, and made a comment, I didn't quite catch it all, but something to the effect of "ugliest baby I've ever seen," or words to that effect. I felt bad, and she ended up sitting right across from me, crying her eyes out. "Tell you what," I said. "You go back up there and tell that SOB off! Here, I'll hold the monkey."

    I was in a Walgreens yesterday, when this duck walked up to the checkout counter with some chapstick. The counterperson was a bit taken aback, but recovered enough to ask, "Cash or credit?" "Neither," said the duck. "Put it on my bill."
  24. USAFChief
    Sano did not look ready to face big league pitching this weekend. Seems like the right call to me.
