    I've said it before and I will say it again. May of 2015, while fun at the time, is the worst thing that could have happened to this team as it relates to building the future of Twins.
  2. Loosey
    I think 2018 could be a very fun year for Twins pitchers. Nolasco would most likely be gone and not resigned, Ervin Santana will be in last year of contract, Milone will gone, Gibson the jury is still out on. 2018 Rotation Competition in Spring will hopefully be: Hughes Santana Gibson Meyer Berrios May Stewart Gonsalves Duffey

    If he doesn't stick at 3rd base long-term. (depends on your definition of long-term), then the next viable spot for him is 1st base once that position opens up in 3 years. 3 years is short term in my opinion.
  4. Loosey
    Thought the same exact thing on #3. I also agree on 1 and 2.
  5. Loosey
    I think Sano is good enough to be a serviceable 3rd baseman, at least until Mauer is no longer able to be a 1st baseman. My hope is to have Sano play 3rd base through Mauer's existing contract, then move him 1st after that. Perhaps Mauer is re-signed but I would guess it will be for much less than he makes now and he will be 36 by then.

    He has been a very pleasant surprise among a lot of unpleasant ones this season so far. Outside of his first week and half, he is far surpassing my expectations.
  7. Loosey
    This actually isn't a bad plan from Duffey's perspective: 1) It hedges the risk he flames out in the future, essentially it's an insurance policy that he hasn't paid for yet. The risk is he will have very high premiums if he becomes very good. 2) If Duffey makes $50M over his career he owes Fantex $5M. So Fantex has made $2.5M profit over the course of Duffey's career. If Duffey invests correctly with his current $2.5M. He could potentially make that lost $2.5M back in the same timeframe he would earn $50M contract. Say 10 years for simplicity sake.

    I seem to remember everyone wanting to give Arcia another shot. But yeah, Nolasco was disliked.
  9. Loosey
    So Duffey in for Santana, Berrios for Gibson, and might they actually pull the trigger and do Meyer for Milone?
  10. Loosey
    I agree. So I thought they would be .500 (81-81). They started 0-9. So my new expectation is for them to be .500ish the rest of the way. So my adjusted estimate is 76.5-85.5. They have half wins, right?

    I think last year many people adopted prospects then forgot about them and quit posting. I took over on Stephen Gonsalves after he went to FM and hadn't had an update since his 2nd start in Cedar Rapids last year. I like it this way. Now anyone can go an post an update, or check out what others have posted on each prospect.

    That's the only time I watch ESPN as well. I will probably just ask my parent's for their comcast account number to use WatchESPN and then I am good to go I think. I'm interested to see how this goes in my trial run before I officially cut it.
  13. Loosey
    I only scanned the article, but in my opinion it would make more sense to bring up a veteran type of guy if they aren't going to play.
  14. Loosey
    I assume it has something to do with cost. Otherwise they would be on every streaming service imaginable.
  15. Loosey
    I think they give you a free Roku now as part of a deal they have going on. Not that helps the Apple TV issue. But if you don't mind having two streaming devices. I'm about to give them a try since they have free trial before I completely cut.
  16. Loosey
    Cutting the cord next month then when my 2 year deal with DirecTv is done. Back of the napkin math saves me $110 a month. Are both packages needed? I did some research and it only seems like ESPN and Disney (and a few obscure channels) are the only thing on the single feed that comes off of beta multi-stream.
  17. Loosey
    Pitch recognition is his biggest issue in my opinion. That takes time to learn. Keep throwing him out there and let him see the nastiest stuff available. Once he figures out how to determine a slider from a fastball I think he takes off. Right now he is guessing. And when he guesses right he hits the ball pretty hard, so the talent clearly is there from a hitting ability standpoint.

    Will the local Fox carry NFL games on Sundays through Sling?
  19. Loosey
    On sling can you have both of their packages? The $20 Beta and the $20 traditional package. It seems if you choose the beta package you limit your options outside of viewing some of the regional sports packages. I currently have DirectTv and the family and I watch about 8-10 channels (FSN being my most important). Most are Sling if I combine the two services.

    My assumptions on when they reach .500: They will take 3 of 4 from The Brewers - April 21 Record: 6-10 Lose 2 of 3 to Nationals: April 24 Record: 7-12 Win 2 of 3 vs Indians: April 27 Record: 9-13 Win 2 of 3 vs Tigers: May 1 Record: 11-14 Lose 2 of 3 to Astros: May 4 Record: 12-16 Win 2 of 3 vs White Sox: May 8 Record:14-17 Win 2 of 3 vs Orioles: May 11 Record: 16-18 Win 2 of 3 vs Indians: May 15 Record: 18-19 Win 2 of 3 vs Tigers: May 18 Record: 20-20 That will be pretty tough to do looking at it after writing it down. Need to win 2 of 3 almost every series. They then Play 7 in a row against KC And Toronto beginning May 19.

    Math isn't your strength is it?
  22. Loosey
    I wouldn't say we set our expectations low. I would say the Twins brought him up twice when he clearly was not ready for MLB pitching. So even though he is a top 2 prospect, doesn't mean he is MLB ready. He was the #1 prospect 2-3 years ago when he was in A ball. If the Twins brought him up then it would have been absurd and everyone would have expected failure. I think he needs more time to develop in the minors and will in time start to show signs of being a star.
  23. Loosey
    If this years Twins continue to bottom out I will actually not be too upset. Last year as many have stated may have been one of the worst things development wise that could have happened to this team. It gave the impression they were ready to make the jump to the upper echelon of teams. But that was all based on things like all of young guys stepping up their game from what it was last year. Now this year the Twins will most likely be sellers at the July deadline and there are some pieces that could and should be moved in order to really start the rebuild and put guys in the right positions.

    He's basically had less than 2 full years of Minor League ball under his belt due to injuries and early call-ups. 276 minor league games. Compare that to Andrew McCutcheon. He played 511 minor league games first. Basically double that of Buxton. McCutcheon is more who I would compare him to instead of Trout. Trout is a generational type of player, McCutcheon is an MVP/All-Star. I'll take that too. He will be fine in time. Send him to AAA let him get some confidence and then bring him back up. I wish they could send the whole team AAA for a confidence boost, but Buxton will do.
  25. Loosey
    I thought that was one of the new rules changes this year. No more than 1 hit per inning. I was wondering why the Twins haven't been complaining when other teams have done it.
