    I don't know why, but I keep coming back to Arraez=Yangervis Solarte.

    You can also work, and read baseball forums...at least I've heard that...asking for a friend?

    I don't think he has to be a catcher, per se. He's okay-enough to play in a few other places, and he can actually hit.....this is why you have a bench/utility spot on the roster. He's tailor-made for it

    Hi Tom, What makes Rooker not another Walker, Palka, Arcia, etc.?

    My reaction to Mauer's potential retirement reaction: Joe is essentially that boyfriend/girlfriend you had, and you broke it off because you were an idiot and didn't realize what you had all along. You don't know what you've got, till it's gone....or some other equally bad Cinderella song.

    Thanks for the post. I think the attack angle/launch angle hype machine is all part of the cat-and-mouse game that is baseball. Pitchers are pounding the lower part of the zone and sinkers are (somewhat) effective; attack the ball with more of an uppercut. Attack angle increases and is paying out; pitchers move to more high cheese and curveballs to miss bats. All equates to more strikeouts, but higher homers. Perhaps the next trend will be to normalize the attack angle between flat and high to combat the high balls/curveballs to maximize average and power; perhaps something else. Whole thing reminds me of outfield shifts. Shift on power hitting, pull happy guys; then teams recruit and use more whole field hitters. What's more concerning to me is that the Twins always (to me), seem to be chasing the most recent trend, instead of being out-front. Ryan Pressley's curveball rate comes to mind.

    Macho.....Nacho man, I want to be, a nacho man....

    This team's so bad, even the lurkers can't watch......I think I have an ulcer.

    Except Escobar

    I've got him clocked at 1991, but I'll admit a margin of error.....anyways, who's counting. Great article!

    He generally is pretty smooth with a small step https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGt5fTrOc1g

    Do you have Pressly's vertical release charts from 2016? It would be interesting to compare that chart as well.

    How is that regrettable, LeCroy was an adventure every single day (I don't have a Twins autograph myself, but I do have a signed Sean Salisbury photo....)

    In 2008, he had a pretty good year at AA, but not much after that. I can't recall the one Spring where he absolutely went off in Spring Training, and I thought.....this guy can bring the lumber.....and that's the year I learned, finally, not to read anything into Spring Training stats.

    Beware all Luke Hughes impersonators.

    Parker, Would you say that it's a modified cutter grip?

    I'll be there for my every three years trip. I'll be there with my fam (wife, mom, three kids) to see the last two games (one in Sarasota and the last in Fort Myers). Not entirely happy with the timing of my trip, but my oldest insisted he be able to play hockey with his friends (hockey, meh.....).
  20. LimestoneBaggy
    You are not alone Brian....Go Hawks (or whatever team name they may be).
  21. LimestoneBaggy
    I would miss the skills of a good catcher framing the plate, and a good pitcher expanding the zone. I'll understand if that isn't a popular opinion, I just enjoy the added in-game of that combo vs. the umpire vs. the batter.
  22. LimestoneBaggy
    This is what I want our roster of quality starting pitchers too look like (am I asking to much?)
  23. LimestoneBaggy
    Injuries, pitching depth, regression...., I doubt highly the Twins land both of these guys, but I'm not opposed to signing both (and although they are expensive, I don't think it would dampen signing more relief pitching). I actually don't see too many other places the Twins need help other than pitching, pitching, pitching....besides, we already have some crazy options for a new third baseman...
  24. LimestoneBaggy
    Didn't see the game tonight, but I did get to run through this thread....I regret nothing...

    I get your thoughts, but as life-line bad outfielder, it's incredibly difficult to pull up on a ball you can catch so you don't get hurt (in fact, I've always thought it bad ju-ju to even think about a letting a ball fall). If you can get it, get it; otherwise, you start to think too much when going for a ball (you kind of need to operate on instincts and let it fly to get to the ones others don't get". But I can see your point (I've also run head on into a fence in beer league softball, so what do I know)....
