    Going to be tough to trade him this offseason. His contract expires on the last day of this season.

    I dont think a couple months of part time hitting makes for evidence that overrides several previous years. I realize we have differing opinions on this, but I dont want a manager who tries to decide who will produce today based on the previous game. I dont want a manager who will play Adrianza over Dozier simply because Adrianza got a couple singles last week. So no, I dont agree that Adrianza was the third best hitter, no matter what batting average you throw out. I believe that given 500 ABs, there is a strong likelihood that Adrianza would be outhit by many current and former Twins, so you give those 500 ABs to the guy who should be better, and let nature take its course. The best way to mess that up is to decide Adrianza is hot, and take ABs away from the guy who SHOULD be getting them. And I guess i dont see how playing Adrianza more would make us better in August, in any case.

    Adrianza was never our third best hitter.

    after taxes and agent fees and expenses, hes probably got a couple million in the bank. But that's not going to set up a 20 something for a lifetime of luxury. I think an extension, with say 25 million guaranteed, would be very tempting. And not all that risky for the Twins. As for now, get him back up to MN.

    Huh. Same aspirations my father had for me.

    I'm also guessing if the choice is starting in Rochester, or relieving in Minneapolis, he picks the latter.

    PM me your digits.

    I suspect the answer to this question will depend on how many RH pitchers he faces.

    I’m not going to be happy about it, no matter how many times you tell me to be happy about it. A baseball season, to me, isn’t something to be tossed into the trash can so lightly. We only get to enjoy one per year. And for the record, You are vastly overstating the impossibility that a baseball team can come back from a half dozen games down in July. It’s been done before, it’ll be done again.

    Yeah, I see Kepler make contact up and in, but it’s all bat handle, or late. Or both.
  12. USAFChief
    Well they clearly aren’t ready today, after dropping 20 percent from the top of their roster. “That wasn’t going to happen this year” is more opinion than fact, however. I’m willing to bet I can find the same posts from the same posters last year, confidently proclaiming the Twins had no shot.

    Great work, Tom. Thanks.

    The front office essentially did exactly that last year. Added, then sold, in the space of a week. And they turned out to be wrong, BTW.
  15. USAFChief
    I agree, Ervin. They took away a lot of your good pieces. It's a shame. It might have been necessary, or even smart, but it's still not what I want to see my front office do...Give up. Shameful.
  16. USAFChief
    When I watch Kepler, the problem I see is he gets eaten up by FB's up and in, regularly. That's death in the big leagues.
  17. USAFChief
    As Mike noted, they are not remotely comparable situations.
  18. USAFChief
    The trick, of course, is in knowing who to show patience with. There was no upside in showing patience with Alexi Casilla, for example, but we got half a decade of repeated attempts to put him in the lineup, with few other options. What were they hoping Casilla could turn in to? And of course, to be both a good team and show patience, you have to have enough well above average players to make up for the below average production from the guy(s) you’re being patient with.

    Cave MAY end up a viable 4th OFer, but they cannot pretend he’s a viable regular CFer.

    Hildenberger is the latest Molitor overuse casualty.
  21. USAFChief
    I think Harmon was probably the best to ever wear a Twins uniform, but Kirby had the greatest impact.
  22. USAFChief
    He was worth more in the Twins lineup over the last two months, even at a remote chance of catching Cleveland, than the org filler they received in return.
  23. USAFChief
    Good for him.
  24. USAFChief
    Perhaps you could provide one for us.
