    In what league is a .196 hitter "almost average"?
  2. dxpavelka
    And if Schmidt had stayed at those levels, he'd have been pumping gas in Altoona by his 4th year. Again, 187 PA for Buxton MAY be a bit early to be drawing firm conclusions.
  3. dxpavelka
    Yay. Mastroiani's back. Does this mean Shane Robinson, Sam Fuld and Alex Pressley were all unavailable? And can somebody tell me what a guy with a 13.5 K/9 is doing throwing meaningless 1 inning bullpen outings?
  4. dxpavelka
    Some teams like to be competitive after the All-Star break so there's that.
  5. dxpavelka
    Is pretty much the only part that matters.
  6. dxpavelka
    And yet when Danny Santana's was well above the league average in 2014 it was heralded as a bad thing. Bottom line is it's way to early to sell Buxton short.
  7. dxpavelka
    Buxton is also younger today than Schmidt was when he debuted and to this point has 300 fewer career plate appearances than Schmidt did by the end of his rookie year so I'm thinking there may still be some time and hope for the lad. I'm less concerned about Schmidt's Babip than I am encouraged by the fact that Buxton is hovering near the league average in that overhyped area.
  8. dxpavelka
    Start with Mike Schmidt.
  9. dxpavelka
    Looks like I need to go to the archives and pull out everything I posted about Aaron Hicks from 2013 to May 2015.
  10. dxpavelka
    If his BABIP was at the other end of the spectrum (See, Santana, Danny, 2014) I'd be inundated with posts on here about how he would be a candidate for a huge regression to the mean. Should not the same apply in the opposite direction in this situation? Of course a wise man once said that advanced metrics are a wonderful tool--for predicting the past.

    Nunez is what Nunez is: A pretty good part time player with the bat, but not a guy you want to have to rely on long term in a position that involves a glove.
  12. dxpavelka
    Are those locusts in your pocket TR or are you just glad to see me?
  13. dxpavelka
    SEE YA
  14. dxpavelka
    That's why they play the games AND why us fans don't get to make those calls.
  15. dxpavelka
    I was wondering the same thing.
  16. dxpavelka
    Needs to be a leadoff hitter. Dozier is NOT a leadoff hitter. Is Dan Gladden available? Lou Brock? Ricky Henderson?
  17. dxpavelka
    FIND A LEADOFF HITTER
  18. dxpavelka
    I've been on the use Plouffe in a Super U role bandwagon since the day Sano first set foot in the big league clubhouse. Have him start 5 game a week-one each at each of the corner infield and outfield spots and one at DH. Unless we some indication that Buxton and / or Kepler is ready to be the every day lead off hitter, any trade needs to net a lead off hitter. Dozier is NOT a lead off hitter. He is a # 6 hitter-as are Park and Rosario unless Plouffe is traded, at which point Park should be able to be your # 5 hitter. This team has lots of pieces. Sometimes the toughest part is putting the right pieces in the right places at the right times.

    SARCASM: 1: the use of words that mean the opposite of what you really want to say especially in order to insult someone, to show irritation, or to be funny; 2: a sharp and often satirical or ironic utterance designed to cut or give pain; 3: a mode of satirical wit depending for its effect on bitter, caustic, and often ironic language; a mode of expression intended to arouse amusement; P.S.: The Timberwolves don't have a good PF. Probably a bigger need than a coach.
  20. dxpavelka
    And he might make 10-15 in the OF. Let's at least see what he can do at 3B.
  21. dxpavelka
    Maybe we should trade him for David Ortiz so Big Pappy can end his career here like Jared Allen did.
  22. dxpavelka
    Short term, Sano shouldn't play right field after lunch.
  23. dxpavelka
    If I had a guy who I anticipated being the cornerstone of my offense for the next decade and a half I'd put him at the defensive position where he's most comfortable (over 90% of his career minor league starts) for the next 5 years, slide him to the other corner for the 5 years after that and let him DH after 10 years. Done deal. No learning a new position or getting hurt playing the OF. It's only a matter of time before somebody gets hurt with a 270 pound guy roaming the OF.
  24. dxpavelka
    Been saying it for years. The reason Mauer has spent most of his career in the 3 hole is because he is the best pure hitter they have. That has not changed. Mauer should bat 3rd, Sano 4th and Plouffe 5th. Part of the problem with this lineup is that Rosario, Park and Dozier should all be # 6 hitters. There. I've said it. Dozier is not, never has been, and never will be a leadoff hitter. Unless or until either Buxton or Kepler wins a job and proves to be a leadoff hitter one of those three should be traded for a leadoff hitter. It won't be Park.
  25. dxpavelka
    Might be worth while keeping Arcia's bat in the lineup as well. Could put him in RF and Sano at 3B.
