    Probably too late, with this extended string of dominance.

    Lance Lynn: Greatest Twins pitcher of this decade, or greatest all time?
  3. 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.
  4. USAFChief
    No you didn’t.
  5. USAFChief
    This is not Terry Ryan's team any more, for sure.
  6. USAFChief
    I think you mean "median." A bit below median.
  7. USAFChief
    I don’t think Dozier has the arm to play third. He struggles as it is.
  8. USAFChief
    If you tossed your Willie Banks autographed baseball, I bet somebody drilled it for a ringing double off the right center fence. Back to Vargas...he has never demonstrated enough to get too worried about.
  9. USAFChief
    Need? No. But you’d certainly WANT one, because you’re better off having one than not. That’s the important question.
  10. USAFChief
    In addition to Spy's age rebuttal above, Vargas has 764 AAA PAs, and another 556 in AA. More time in AAA wasn't an issue either.
  11. USAFChief
    K and/or 4-3 a lot.
  12. USAFChief
    Dozier has been a fantastic player for the Twins, and I hope he has another fantastic season. But he owes them nothing, and vice versa. Offer a QO, and let that dictate 2019.
  13. USAFChief
    And Morrison has had an OPS higher than the .730s once since 2012 and isn’t an OFer. There’s nothing wrong with adding Morrison, but we’ll see both how he hits and how he gets ABs. And I still would have preferred a RH hitting 4th OFer....which were available.

    Carlos Gomez, Matt Holliday, Carlos Gonzalez, Jose Bautista, Austin Jackson, off the top of my head. Trades, too.
  15. USAFChief
    Instead of impacting the outcome of the games, how about violations impact the players' wallets? Make pace of play violations a fine, and there will be few violations.
  16. USAFChief
    I think a RH bat who can play corner OF makes so much more sense.
  17. USAFChief
    I'd caution you about railing against things that haven't been said.Because as far as I can tell not one poster has called Sano a terrible, lazy waste of a human being.
  18. USAFChief
    //hat tip to Chief Jr// what, Mauer needs a day off already??
  19. USAFChief
    Too easy: EE-Zee-Zee.
  20. USAFChief
    yes.

    It's rather mind boggling to me to see so many posters posit that being overweight doesn't negatively affect a baseball player. That just doesn't make sense. Not rendering him useless is not the same as not negatively affecting his performance. At the very LEAST, it slows a baseball player down. It almost certainly HAS to negatively affect ankle, knee, and hip joints. And I'm just not buying the idea that a 3rd baseman isn't negatively affected defensively if he's carrying extra pounds. C'mon people.
  22. USAFChief
    Nit pic: the Hicks-Murphy trade was awful from day one. Awful, from any perspective. Nothing like this, IMO. I agree Odorizzi is worth much more to the Twins than Palacios.
  23. USAFChief
    I don't see how adding Odorizzi/Sanchez suddenly makes us deep in pitching.
  24. USAFChief
    he went to Houston fairly cheaply.
  25. USAFChief
    the obvious question: have Falvine done much of anything to improve spots 5-16? It requires a leap of faith to conclude they have.
