    Do we have a 23 man roster tonight?
  2. USAFChief
    Well, Sano and Escobar is certainly better than Sano. And Pressly was a pretty important piece of the pen, so IMO, yes they sold.

    The primary difference for the Twins, as I see it, is they only need to catch one team. And they have games to play against that team.

    What is the cost benefit analysis of watching meaningful baseball games through August and September? I, too, want the Twins to win a WS. But I also want to watch meaningful regular seasons. And this season wasn't lost yet. And for the record, as Spycake has pointed out "all of the GMs" in situations similar to, or worse than, the current Twins HAVEN'T sold yet. Do you suppose you're overestimating your particular expertise in the area of how MLB teams operate?

    they moved the Monster???!?!!

    I'm jealous!! I'm (at last count) behind you by 9 cities, but I'll get there. I need a north central road trip (Cle, Chi, Det, Tor, Pit, Cin, Phi) in the worst way. FWIW, Camden Yards is still my favorite stadium ever. Fenway was way cool, AT&T also (but the traffic and prices reduced the fun for me). Overrated in my book: Safeco (I don't like airplane hanger design), Petco.

    eh? I don't see a single position player I feel confident will be worthy of a full time position next year. Who am I missing?

    Not to hijack this thread, but this is one prime reason why I disagree with the "wait until you're one player away before you sign a big time free agent" theory of management. There is a large chance that guy won't be available to you then. Go get the players you need when you can. Same is true for trades, by the way.

    nitpic: Getting to the big leagues does not guarantee they "will contribute for 6 years or more." Lots of players make it to the big leagues, but do not have 6 yr careers. https://www.nytimes.com/2007/07/15/sports/baseball/15careers.html And there is the very real possibility, of course, that they won't make it to the big leagues at all, the fate suffered by most minor league players. If we're talking odds, you're ignoring lots of information here.

    they'll have to push Burdi off closer and down to a setup role then, I guess.
  11. USAFChief
    Tying themselves to more of a part time first baseman with zero power just shortens the bench. He plays too little, and provides too little, and will cost too much.
  12. USAFChief
    of course it will, just like all money that is spent. You do get the benefit of what you buy with it, though, which in this case is 1.4 years of Gibson on the mound.
  13. USAFChief
    I agree that most any SS or 2nd baseman can stand out in LF and catch fly balls. The question is...why? What is gained?
  14. USAFChief
    I dont think replacing Dozier with Adrianza will result in a more productive infield. I dont think "relief pitchers are fungible" is accurate either, BTW.
  15. USAFChief
    actually, I believe you're much more likely to get fired if you try to sell stockholders on the notion that it's really a good thing that their stock crashed, because you've invested in some penny stocks that will possibly pay off big time in only half a decade.
  16. USAFChief
    No more misleading than the “Fangraphs says 1percent chance!!1!” hokum I keep reading.
  17. USAFChief
    The season wasn’t over as far as I’m concerned. Regardless, I’d expect better roster management out of our front office.
  18. USAFChief
    Thanks, and thanks Bill above. Btw, Damn near everyone here is smarter than me, Sconnie. But I beat most everyone in “experience.”
  19. USAFChief
    Someone smarter than me: does Alcala need to be on the 40 man next year?
  20. USAFChief
    Concur.If the only time you raise the pot is when you have the nuts, you’ll get blinded off long before the final table.
  21. USAFChief
    Thanks for playing hard, Mr Rosario. And with a 2 man bench and six starters! We appreciate it. By the way, as a reward, we’ve dealt Misters Escobar and Pressly. Keep up the good work! - Derrick and Thad
  22. USAFChief
    Reality is a sell off doesn’t guarantee anything about the future, but it sure torpedoes the present. And mod hat on: cease and desist with name calling and characterizations of other posters.
  23. USAFChief
    How to know you’re ******* up: trading a pitcher to Houston.
  24. USAFChief
    Boo.
  25. USAFChief
    They should have at least been down to five starters with another reliever on the roster BEFORE this series started, and I’m not willing to just accept that their deal with AZ all materialized this afternoon. Maybe they don’t care about winning, but I still do.
