    Happy Anniversary!
  2. USAFChief
    No, I understand that. I'm suggesting you should look up the data.
  3. USAFChief
    I'm reluctant to speak for Hosken, but I took his post to mean, if you are going to cite something (like RF) as the best evaluation tool to use, it would help if you would provide the data. "I prefer RF, here's why, and here's Adrianza's minor league RFs." You might then go on to compare that to some relevant examples, to put the data in context. In other words...I don't think it's on us to "look it up."

    I would argue there's room for a 3 person 1B/DH combo, as long as the team can get the platoon advantage almost all the time. For that to work, at least one (Vargas) has to be a switch hitter.
  5. USAFChief
    Why, I can make a hat or a brooch or a pterodactyl...
  6. USAFChief
    I don't disagree. I'd rather they found a better option. But in the context of this thread, and what they DO have, if they're truly trying to improve the D, i think the way to do that is start Adrianza.
  7. USAFChief
    He has to stay healthy, like every player, but I don't believe in "injury prone." Some players have chronic problems (Thome's back), but outside that, it's random chance. And he's at the point where he should be in CF almost no matter what he hits. It's time to find out one way or the other. He represents a good part of the future, if he can't hit, at least they'll be pretty sure of it.
  8. USAFChief
    Why?
  9. USAFChief
    Since I expect 155 games in CF from Buxton (given health), I'm not concerned with CF defense.
  10. USAFChief
    If they truly are committed to improving the defense, they start Adrianza at SS, with Polanco moving to utility infielder. Santana is gone, possibly Escobar as well. If not, I guess Adrianza could replace Santana/Escobar, but then they're not really committed to improving the defense.
  11. USAFChief
    Dozier doesn't have enough arm to play on the left side of the infield.
  12. USAFChief
    There are 3 (2 if they carry 13 pitchers) bench spots not counting catcher. You're going to dedicate 2 of those spots to late inning defensive replacements? Including OF? That doesn't make sense to me.
  13. USAFChief
    Jack Squat to the Twins.
  14. USAFChief
    Alternate facts.
  15. USAFChief
    Is it "EYE-ray?" My Spanglish is even worse than my English.
  16. USAFChief
    The Twins "should have no trouble scoring runs?" I hope you're right, but that seems pretty optimistic. As for Grossman, I'm going to have to see it again to believe last year wasn't a mirage.
  17. USAFChief
    I'm not at all sure "final" is correct. Opportunity for lawsuits, IMO. The more I look into this, the more I believe the University process needs overhaul, from athlete oversight, to the EEOE office, to disciplinary SOPs. Nobody looks good, including the female, who changed her story yet again. She now admits she wasn't intoxicated.
  18. USAFChief
    I'm approaching 40. In dog years.
  19. USAFChief
    I predict I'll be up at 3, getting a brisket into the smoker. As to the game, I predict a NE win. 31-27 sounds about right. Somehow, Belichek will find a way to bend the odds slightly in his favor in a technically legal but entirely questionable way.
  20. USAFChief
    Have you read the Dozier threads? Set aside a week to ten days, if not.
  21. USAFChief
    "But I try not to let that cloud my judgment of the front office and conflate "I'm disappointed" with "they failed". Precisely.
  22. USAFChief
    I very much want to like the new front office. And I understand they are doing some reorganization, that hopefully will pay dividends down the road. The offseason isn't over. I also understand that as a fan...I'm left pretty underwhelmed with the visible effort to date.
  23. USAFChief
    Possibly so.
  24. USAFChief
    "The way the picks fell?" They had the first pick.
  25. USAFChief
    Can someone refresh my memory...what did the Twins wind up receiving for having the first pick in the rule 5 draft and ending up with the guy drafted 8th?
