    May over Berrios yes. Not quite sure I want Santiago to be a lock over Berrios though. Given how bad Jose was when he was called up, I think some AAA time would do him good anyways.
  2. diehardtwinsfan
    yes, I remember being very confused at first when typing Terry Ryan and seeing it show up as Jerry Ryan....

    Those were the days... That site was not for the thin of skin. Some of the world filters were pretty amusing too.
  4. diehardtwinsfan
    I thought we had someone around that could handle these SCORCHING hot takes.

    I'm not quite sure why people are so down on him. He was more than I thought we'd get for Nunez. If that K rate continues, he can be more than a back of the rotation kind of guy. The question is whether 2016 happened b/c he got lucky or b/c something clicked.

    Are you sure there's no implementation in the minors? Seems that was part of Allen's rather scathing review in that fastball control/command was not emphasized nearly enough at the lower levels. I'm not sure this implies that it is the only thing Allen is doing.

    the big issue is that 5 seasons thing. For a 16 year old, he's a 40 man add at 21/22 depending on his start date. In Polanco's case, he hadn't played above low A at that point. Thanks for the info Spy.

    I don't see the harm. Seems the hitters had issues like that too, not working on directional hitting, but just swinging during BP. Seems like having a plan to actually accomplish something is good... should help with some of those fine motor skills needed to put that pitch where the pitcher wants it.
  9. diehardtwinsfan
    cannot argue with any of what you said. He needs some days off... especially against lefties.
  10. diehardtwinsfan
    This thread went creepy in a hurry.
  11. diehardtwinsfan
    Those 3 are out for sure.
  12. diehardtwinsfan
    That explains the mis-management. I seem to remember him having to be added and kind of being annoyed that some kid starting in high A was getting added to the 40 man, but I'm fairly sure that was to prevent Rule V exposure. They really should get an extra year for 16 year olds and not treat them in the same way high school draftees are managed.
  13. diehardtwinsfan
    sorry... not what I meant. 40 man add. He had to be added to the 40 man, which required those options to be used regardless. He wasn't an early 40 man add if I remember right. In that sense, the FO had no choice but to burn the options... yes, he could have gotten more ML PT, but in 2014 he clearly wasn't ready since he was in High A if I remember right.
  14. diehardtwinsfan
    wasn't he out of options when added?
  15. diehardtwinsfan
    Technically, he did break out in High A.... however, the K rate he notched in A+ did not translate to AA. Hopefully we see numbers along the lines of his A+ numbers in AA.

    over

    I loved this article. Nice to see a bit of the backstory.
  18. diehardtwinsfan
    That's honestly my primary strategy... selling covered calls. I tend to be a bit more bearish though and prefer to sell when the market is overbought ( like it is now)...
  19. diehardtwinsfan
    My understanding with this is that it was always intended to be two seasons and only two seasons. I suppose that could change with popularity, but I do like the idea of developing a show from beginning to end so that it actually gets an ending. So many of my favorites shows really ended poorly due to stuff like that.
  20. diehardtwinsfan
    Why are you selling calls on a stock you're bullish on? Just curious.
  21. diehardtwinsfan
    No clue. The sites were competitors for a while.
  22. diehardtwinsfan
    Battle Your Tail Off.
  23. diehardtwinsfan
    Unfortunately, I tend to wake me up all by myself before my alarm clock goes off... but if I don't, the new puppy will most definitely do so.
  24. diehardtwinsfan
    The real story would be interesting, but I'd love to know where you concluded that the Twins were the only bidder. Don't remember seeing that (though I could be wrong).
  25. diehardtwinsfan
    Anyone else heading down this year? I should be there March 24-26.
