    Sure, but I'm not sure that's a bad thing. The issue, as I see it, is that people are suggesting that certain ways of framing dialogue can be seen as ... troubling. Instead of seeing that problem, you get defensive and suggest that Tom is being attacked. I find that interesting. You say that you can't see how the thread titles would be different as only Tom could answer that (presumably as you can't speak for Tom) but at the same time you have the ability to see how Tom is being attacked (when he wasn't). I think that's a good marker of Brock's points about white privilege and fragility.

    Do you think we would have had a thread titled "Dozier sparks comeback, inspires some head scratching"? I don't. I think it would have been something like "Dozier sparks comeback." Rosario's pop out was a bit weird but it really wasn't that big of a play.

    https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2018/04/twins-pursued-offseason-extensions-with-multiple-young-players.html The article says that all the players turned down the Twins offers.

    Racism and how fans view athletes are pretty big issues. We've had posters suggest that Buxton wasn't smart enough to be a big league hitter. We've had posters attack Torii Hunter for actions that happened 15 years ago or for being ejected but praised Molly for the same thing. I'm sure Rosario would be given a bit more of a leash if he looked more like Michael Cuddyer. How much, I'm not sure but I suspect it's a lot more than people usually think.

    Really excited to see how Rooker's bat plays in AA. They are really being aggressive with him, hope he dominates. Hopefully this is the last year that Jay is a prospect and he can get to the big league club fairly quickly.

    I do hope Dozier gets paid very well this offseason. I don't think it'll be us though. For all the payroll changes the Pohlad's have made, we're still a pretty low payroll team (I think we're #19 this year) so a longterm commitment to Dozier doesn't really work.

    Yeah, I don't remember any stories about him changing his approach or going to his curve more, either. Perhaps it was just one of those days when Castrol saw it was working and went with it. But it's certainly a good sign and worth keeping an eye on in his next starts, as well.

    SI article on Odorizzi's curveball https://www.si.com/mlb/2018/04/04/jake-odorizzi-minnesota-twins-curveball

    This is probably our weakest team in regards to future MLers. I like Diaz more than most here at TD. Whitefield and Davis have some tools, Charlie Barnes could be a legit backend starter for a ML team and Blankenhorn might be able to hit enough to make it but that's about it, I would think. Not sure if anyone else on this team is even in a Twins prospect top 30 list.

    So Trump has vocally hammered Amazon, which I'm sure his kids shorted beforehand. Trade war with China is increasing and the Dow has dropped 5% in less than a month. Probably not the economy the GOP wants going into election season.

    Man, I bet we can get this thread to top the Joe Benson one.

    This will be a really exciting team to watch. Nice write up!

    In fairness, I believe Toby has managed in college before.
  14. gunnarthor
    Yep, someone in TT posted some tweets from Gelner that said as much. It's not a real issue.
  15. gunnarthor
    Wow. They must really believe in his bat. That's great.
  16. gunnarthor
    Jeepers, that's going to be a heck of a line-up to watch.

    Dude is strong

    I don't think there's anything wrong with a thread about Darvish. We added one about De Leon. My guess is that Darvish will rebound after his bad start but it's not impossible that Lynn or Ordoizzi have a better year than him. Frankly, it's not a bad idea to keep track of guys that "got away" to remember how risky some of these contracts are and/or how realistic that player would have helped the Twins.

    I'm a little surprised. It sounds like the Twins have Romero ahead of Gonsalves, which is correct, in my view. (I hope they didn't put him in AAA to work out of the pen). But Gordon should be in AAA right away. This is probably an indication that the FO isn't as high on him as I am.
  20. gunnarthor
    That's a pretty good primer. Thanks for sharing.
  21. gunnarthor
    My guess is that he catapults up prospect lists this year and finishes in the top 50. He, Kiriloff, Miranda and Rortvedt are going to make the 2016 draft class rival 2012.
  22. gunnarthor
    Tough loss but an extra inning loss on the road to start the season isn't really worth that much angst. The Twins will be fine.
  23. gunnarthor
    Vlad Sr. approves.
  24. gunnarthor
    140ish
  25. gunnarthor
    Nope, that was Dusty Baker's kid. (Who I think was drafted by the Nats but isn't really a prospect).
