    prolly a good thing we're not counting on Kiriloff to take his spot

    Advice Needed

    dxpavelka replied to a topic in Other Baseball

    I'd be a fan of pitchers pitching 6 or 7 innings....

    Worth noting that they get paid for how they approach things in the off season and we don't.
  5. dxpavelka
    Worth noting that we really don't yet know what "normal" even is...
  6. dxpavelka
    It's almost as if Simmons wasn't a problem. It IS, however, only two games.
  7. dxpavelka
    I do what I can.

    Going out on a limb and saying that angst about Berrios is an overreaction.

    The object is to win ballgames. One thing we've learned the last few years is that there is more than one way to accomplish that. As far as the fourth had goes, regarding known injury risk and downward trend of the past two seasons, we might not have targeted the right guy but we may have traded the right guy....

    Unless they thought they could upgrade their team by doing so. New closers emerge from unexpected places every year. Twins have a number of potential options. The sky is not falling.
  11. dxpavelka
    That's all fine and dandy but let's be honest: With 16 pitchers on the roster, nobody's getting stretched out as a reliever.
  12. dxpavelka
    "The self-anointed “competitive” Twins roster just got a huge downgrade in their bullpen on paper no matter how you shake it." The games aren't played on paper. They're played on my television.

    That's not many innings for a guy who only has 235 innings pitched in the last 4 seasons and has never pitched out of the pen. I'd rather seem him in St. Paul getting starts every 5 days and stretched out when a need in the big league rotation presents itself.
  14. dxpavelka
    Surprised there's not more surprise about Winder making the squad. Seems like they'd want him to get innings in St. Paul.
  15. dxpavelka
    Do we call Bundy Al or Ted?
  16. dxpavelka
    then don't
  17. dxpavelka
    I just want to know if we're gonna call Bundy Al or Ted?
  18. dxpavelka
    I'll take the Steve Busby comps all day long.
  19. dxpavelka
    Rumor has it that moves can still be made AFTER Opening Day.
  20. dxpavelka
    I don't think it really matters what we want. If Correa stays it's almost certainly because he got hurt or had a really bad year.
  21. dxpavelka
    Or same thing when diving at a curve ball.
  22. dxpavelka
    Maybe. Maybe not. Old enough to remember when that hockey game ended in what they called a tie. Does the baseball thing REALLY matter since it gives neither team any advantage?
  23. dxpavelka
    Not really different than 4 on 4 or shootouts in hockey.

    One thing being overlooked about Sano is that he seems to hit better when he plays in the field than when is the DH. It's a small sample size and maybe more of a gut feeling than anything else. And yes, I know we don't do instinct and gut feelings anymore. You kids get the hell off my lawn. At the end of the day I overlook his defensive issues because A: it's 1B and B: POWER. I also don't think Sanchez DHs as much as folks think because him doing so probably creates a need for a third catcher on the roster and, well, let's just hope that need doesn't come to fruition for the next few years. The DH spot is probably most often manned by Arraez who also has some defensive limitations and his come at more important defensive positions than 1B. And PLEASE stop putting infielders in the OF. With Cruz gone we're probably going back to what we've done for most of the last almost 50 years with no everyday DH. Arraez, Urshela & Miranda splitting the 3B & DH spots with Sanchez & Sano rotating in once in a while. That leaves Larnach & Kirriloff in LF with Kiriloff spending a little time at 1B and both spelling Kepler in RF and Kepler doing the same for Buxton in CF. While it'd be great to get 150 games out of Buxton, 135-140 would seem more realistic and proactive. Also possible to yet see one of Kiriloff, Larnach or Kepler in a deal for pitching.
  25. dxpavelka
    Seems like Archer wouldn't be that great of a trade target since he's a FA. And if he were not a FA, it's worth noting that the last time a team traded for him it turned out to be one of the worst trades ever.
