    I concur. With both of yous. I'll stay out of New York AND Chicago.
  2. USAFChief
    The number of people who seem to WANT the Twins to lose is astounding. Not TRYING is worse than getting beat. By far.
  3. USAFChief
    Well this is going pretty well, don't you think?
  4. USAFChief
    Now you've gone two far.
  5. USAFChief
    How many is that in metric?
  6. USAFChief
    I agree with this. But I wonder if Brock wasn't referring to putting someone on the 40 man before they're useful.

    Two things about curveballs...if a hitter is pretty sure a curve is coming, it's a lot less effective. The other thing about curve balls...it's not the great curveball that you snap off that gets you in trouble. It's that hanger that rolls up there, thigh high, with a big "hit me" flashing neon sign. Throw one bad one for every good one, and you are likely not a very good pitcher.

    Bottom line: he must hit better than he has, or he's not going to stay in anyone's lineup. There is no level of defense that makes up for a 50 OPS+. Fortunately, he probably will. He was a good hitter throughout the minors.
  9. USAFChief
    Yes.

    Rogers now hasn't pitched since an inning Jun 8 at Seattle. Thanks, Molly. Sunday is on you.
  11. USAFChief
    Maybe, maybe not, but we'll all be groan at your grammar.
  12. USAFChief
    Old...and mean. Your ban will be over in three days. Sonny.
  13. USAFChief
    You listed six options.
  14. USAFChief
    When they first recalled Berrios he WASN'T better than the crap we had.
  15. USAFChief
    Fans care about many things. In any case, it's pretty difficult to tell most fans that trading away your best pitcher is about winning.
  16. USAFChief
    Fair. I disagree, but fair.
  17. USAFChief
    If they trade Santana while in contention they deserve an empty TF. And then we can hear more about revenue. About how the power arms are just two years away. And start the death watch countdown for Falvine. Lather, rinse, repeat.
  18. USAFChief
    Sometimes. On the other hand, sometimes trading what's working for what you hope might someday work is how teams sustain windows of sucking.
  19. USAFChief
    Just another reason why "don't sign big time free agents until you're already good" is folly. Sign em when you can. They might not be there later.
  20. USAFChief
    No, I don't think so. He was firm about his position on purpose.
  21. USAFChief
    I've said it multiple times, but when I watch Kepler I see Paul O'Neill. Which would be a pretty good thing, if true.
  22. USAFChief
    Well, they're prolly tofu dogs anyway, so who cares?
  23. USAFChief
    Not only can hitters sit on it, it ends up in the middle of the zone too often. Even if a hitter is sitting on a fastball, 98 on the low outside corner is tough to square up. Real tough.
  24. USAFChief
    That's probably from the famous SoCal smog.
  25. USAFChief
    Signing a starter for 4-6 years at 8 figures per year, and signing a reliever for 1-3 years, at 7 figures per year, are not apt comparisons. Complaining about large sums of wasted money, and complaining about not possibly wasting modest sums of money, are not apt comparisons. Even if every single FA signed fails, you have your entire minor league system to count on, putting you in the same position as if you hadn't signed a single one. All you've lost is money, and innings. Personally I don't give a rip if ownership makes a few million less. That ain't my goal, and I hope it's not theirs. The point was, indeed, finding bullpen solutions. Arguing that free agency isn't one route is not supported by any argument I've heard put forth here or elsewhere.
