    A month ago, many posters wanted Castro DFA'd or traded since we didn't need him with Garver and La Tortuga. Arraez can go back to Rochester and play every day, which is better for him and the team in the long run. He doesn't provide much that isn't already on the bench anyway, and he's not really a 1.000 OPS guy. For this team, right now, it makes way more sense to keep Astudillo around, and let him fill in when/where necessary.

    A guy who slots at the top of the Twins playoff rotation? Who matches up with any starter they'll face in the postseason? There's no deal out there that would be bad. Who wouldn't you give up for that? What are we trying to accomplish here? Win a WS, or stock up the minor leagues?
  3. USAFChief
    Maybe so. But that's still the starter to go get. Make an offer they can't refuse.

    Robles and Soto. Kieboom, maybe someday. Who else?
  5. USAFChief
    In addition, Adam Eaton, of the .373 SLG, is the starting RFer and leads the team in PAs. Brian Dozier is putting up a .697 OPS. The bullpen sucks. This is a bad team.

    The Nats have no reason to blow it up?

    Current Twins roster OPS's, sorted top to bottom. 1.140 1.036 .989 .967 .873 .862 .851 .842 .842 .817 .745 .696 .658 And we just sent down a guy sporting 1.050 If you had told me in March that Jonathan Schoop would have an .817 OPS on Jun 3rd, I'd have been thrilled. He's fourth from the bottom.

    Awful stadium, but we have no room to criticize...we had the Metrodome. Also awful.
  10. USAFChief
    Littell.

    This wasn't hard to predict. Arraez plays only one position, and isn't going to take many PAs away from Schoop. Hopefully Cruz is healthy and mashing. Makes a huge difference in this lineup.

    He really didn't. Go look at his second half game logs: https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/gl.fcgi?id=kimbrcr01&t=p&year=2018 Synopsis: 22 of 28 appearances from July through the end of the season were scoreless. He gave up more than 1 run in only 2 appearances, a July blown save against the Twins, of all teams, where he gave up 2 runs on one hit, and an appearance against Baltimore in late September where he gave up four runs (and he came back and struck out the side against the Yankees in his next game. His ERA went from 2.16 on July 1st to 2.74 for the season. 47 K's from Jul-Sep. Only 2 appearances in the second half without at least one K. 62.1 IP, 31 Hits allowed, 96 K on the year. Don't let a couple games and the post season fool you. He was a dominant reliever last year.

    Guess: Langeliers. Hope: Jackson Rutledge

    time to start watching the Sox?
  15. USAFChief
    you can have 30 in an inning. Ever seen a bad little league game?
  16. USAFChief
    if we had Scherzer, we'd have had 30 today!
  17. USAFChief
    Winnah. Yawn. Routine.
