    Plate discipline, man! Plate discipline.

    Well you have all that experience standing on one foot telling the nice occifer you only had one or two.

    WHY DIDN'T THE PUT HIM ON THE 60 DAY INSTEAD OF DFA'ING MOYA!!?!???!!//`
  4. USAFChief
    No Buxton. He was eligible to come off the IL today, no? Worrisome.
  5. USAFChief
    Always with the age cracks...

    It's not hindsight for many. This sounds to me like an argument that the current Twins coaching staff needs upgrading. Is that your point? The Twins don't have the staff to get the most out of players? Not to mention, there's no guarantee Pressly needed any "unlocking." As Spycake and others have pointed out, Pressly was already really good, and getting better, when dealt.

    "Lethal flamethrower." I guess it's sort of like "grave" danger. Is there any other kind?
  8. USAFChief
    How's about having Garver, Castro, Astudillo AND Hicks as a 4th OFer? Because Hicks has nothing to do with any of those three.

    I could live with acquiring Smith and a RHer such as Ian Kennedy. Smith would be a great fit for the pen. Pay up. That's the cost of not doing much in the off season or elsewhere.
  10. USAFChief
    Same for May. He hasn't been a starter since mid 2015. BTW..."lethal flamethrowers??"
  11. USAFChief
    Rosenthal on a minor league deal makes all the sense in the world. Much better odds of him being good again than Allen, IMO.
  12. USAFChief
    What I take from the list of "a lot of seemingly tantalizing relief options out there" is that there really isn't much likely to be out there. It's going to be difficult to improve the bullpen.
  13. USAFChief
    I believe you are correct. Good catch.
  14. USAFChief
    Headline is wrong. Should be "1 bad inning makes awful uniforms forgettable."
  15. USAFChief
    Game thread is every bit as exiting as the game.
  16. USAFChief
    no...he fell asleep there.
  17. USAFChief
    Really need to convert this inning into some runs.
  18. USAFChief
    Said this about a week or so ago: Ian Kennedy would be a nice addition to the Twins pen. Take on some of the salary and he'd be nearly free.
  19. USAFChief
    Why would the Angels be trading away a 23 yr old first year player who looks like part of the future?
  20. USAFChief
    woof.

    A player DFA'd is removed from the club's 40 man roster. Within 7 days, He must be either placed on waivers, traded, released, or outrighted to the minors. In all cases except a trade, the major league team is still responsible for the remainder of the player's contract. A player can only be outrighted once. That isn't a factor for Allen though, because as a player with more than 5 years MLB service time, he can refuse a minor league assignment. Allen was released, meaning he is the property of no MLB team, and is a free agent. An MLB team signing him to a MLB contract would only be responsible for the prorated portion of the MLB minimum. In Allen's case, I believe the Twins signed him to a minor league contract, so they're not even responsible for that.

    I don't trust Tyler Duffey and probably never will. On nights when everything is working, he's effective. Those nights aren't frequent enough, IMO. To quote myself semi-quoting our old friend Denny Green, from a game thread back there somewhere..."He is who we thought he was."
  23. USAFChief
    Concur. The conversation for best ever starts and ends with Babe Ruth. It's not close.
  24. USAFChief
    2 IP the night before for Rogers. Pretty telling on how Baldelli views the rest of the pen.
  25. USAFChief
    I hope they get one at 3/$36. That would be a fine signing.
