    You repeatedly assert this is a culteral thing...Urena is from the Dominican, no?
  2. USAFChief
    Well, yes, but the cost will be higher, since he's now cheaper for the trading team.

    RandBall's Stu, over at Twinkie Town, is incredible. He might have hit a new peak with the following: https://www.twinkietown.com/2018/8/17/17706028/winning-twingo-card-opens-pathway-to-improbable-nightmare-realm A sample: The fiery aperture opened beneath the concert area at Target Field Station. The popular rock band Imagine Dragons were playing a special outdoor show for listeners of the nearby GO 96.3 FM radio station, and were immediately sucked into a place of relentless, unimaginable suffering. But authorities say there are also downsides.

    Going to be tough to trade him this offseason. His contract expires on the last day of this season.

    The problem with Ryan LaMarre isn’t a lack of flexibility, the problem is not having a better reserve outfielder than Ryan LaMarre. You only have a three or four man bench, and one of those is a catcher. Who are you trying to get into the lineup? Have a better bench. And have some realistic options in Rochester. There is no point moving Rosario to 2nd base just to put Ryan LaMarre in left field. You put your adequate utility infielder at second, and leave as many guys as possible at their best defensive position.

    I dont think a couple months of part time hitting makes for evidence that overrides several previous years. I realize we have differing opinions on this, but I dont want a manager who tries to decide who will produce today based on the previous game. I dont want a manager who will play Adrianza over Dozier simply because Adrianza got a couple singles last week. So no, I dont agree that Adrianza was the third best hitter, no matter what batting average you throw out. I believe that given 500 ABs, there is a strong likelihood that Adrianza would be outhit by many current and former Twins, so you give those 500 ABs to the guy who should be better, and let nature take its course. The best way to mess that up is to decide Adrianza is hot, and take ABs away from the guy who SHOULD be getting them. And I guess i dont see how playing Adrianza more would make us better in August, in any case.

    Adrianza was never our third best hitter.

    after taxes and agent fees and expenses, hes probably got a couple million in the bank. But that's not going to set up a 20 something for a lifetime of luxury. I think an extension, with say 25 million guaranteed, would be very tempting. And not all that risky for the Twins. As for now, get him back up to MN.

    Something it has in common with Pepsi.
  10. USAFChief
    I cannot comprehend this.
  11. USAFChief
    Hopefully.
  12. USAFChief
    Huh. Same aspirations my father had for me.
  13. USAFChief
    Sounds like the role Adrianza currently fills. I guess there's the possibility Forsythe fills it better, but IMO neither one moves the needle much.
  14. USAFChief
    I'm also guessing if the choice is starting in Rochester, or relieving in Minneapolis, he picks the latter.
  15. USAFChief
    PM me your digits.

    Reminds me of the ol' breakfast saw. The difference between "participating" and "all in." When it comes to breakfast, the chicken is participating. The pig is all in.

    As I'm sure you're all aware, summers here in Tucson are brutally hot. I had to run to the store just now (thanks, Mrs Chief) and in the parking lot--all that blacktop!--this poor little old lady just flat passed out from the heat. At least, I assume she was poor. She had less than 5 bucks in her purse.

    From the "Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead" school of journalism: Tiger Woods is not leading the PGA.
  19. USAFChief
    Right up till the swinging K.

    Down and in to Kepler...his happy zone. Up and in...not so much.
  21. USAFChief
    You can't trust the MPG numbers out of Detroit either.
  22. USAFChief
    Terrible 0-2 pitch from Rogers.
  23. USAFChief
    EVERYONE TALK LOUD!
  24. USAFChief
    Four days a week.

    No.
