    Be nice if they could hit a little bit though.

    Not during the regular season.

    The fact that Cabrera weighed 220 pounds when he switched to the outfield does nothing to lead me to believe that Sano will be successful doing so at 270.
  4. dxpavelka
    They also finished in the middle of the pack in runs scored. Which is about where I would still expect them to finish the year.

    I spent the entire offseason warning of just such a possibility and was assured by some folks on this page who claim to be a whole lot smarter than me that I was just pulling impossible **** out of my ass.
  6. dxpavelka
    Maybe people keep bringing up weight because the number of players who have not been major disappointments as outfielders at Sano's weight can be counted on with one hand.

    The move to RF should have been Plouffe from day one. Put the guy who has the chance to be the offensive cornerstone of your team for the next decade and a half in the defensive position he played over 90% of his minor league games at. This ain't rocket science. Move Plouffe to the OF to showcase his versatility thus increasing his value for the inevitable trade. Hello McFly (Terry Ryan & Paul Molitor) anybody in there?

    Have the Twins ever considered hiring Tommy John as a pitching coach?

    My question is how many of those guys on the single season leaderboard had a manager who saw fit to bat them in the # 3 spot in the order? I'd much rather see him hit 4th and have a better chance of having more runners on base which would hopefully lead to him seeing better pitches and replacing a few of those strikeouts with base hits and home runs. If Buxton struggles in the 9 spot this only becomes magnified for Sano at 3. I'd put him in the 4 hole and hopefully not move him for a decade and a half.

    I got the Cubs in this race.

    A legitimate question with the benefit of 20/20 hindsight. Of course, at the time, the majority of the fan base were asking "Why did we wait so long to get rid of Liriano?"

    MIGHT be a stretch to say Ruesse is wrong here. Even in your scenario(s) most of the potential upgrades fall into the "possible" bucket. In other words. Ruesse MIGHT be wrong. He MIGHT be right to. Injuries seldom have a net positive effect. Are you willing to bet that the Twins will be the team that has enough LUCK to buck that trend? Injuries can doom any team and usually do doom most if they strike.

    Future big league manager?

    And lets be honest, Eduardo Escobar is not exactly Cal Ripken or Ozzie Smith. We could easily be sitting here in 3-4 months wondering how 2014-15 Escobar became 2012-13 Escobar. Hopefully not, but stranger things have happened.
  15. dxpavelka
    There isn't a GM in baseball that wouldn't be elated to hit on 2 of the 3 biggest FA acquisitions in the history of their team.
  16. dxpavelka
    or not
  17. dxpavelka
    Can't take the poll because I'm not on Twitter. I'll sign up if you make Trevor may one of the choices.
  18. dxpavelka
    See ya!
  19. dxpavelka
    The kicker to that is that even those guys are big money guys in the eyes of the Twins, they are actually fairly affordable in the eyes of big market teams.
  20. dxpavelka
    I would hope that guys like Meyer, Oliveros, Tonkin, Burdi, Chargois, Peterson & Jones would fill that need out of the pen sooner rather than later.
  21. dxpavelka
    Same way I've forgotten about Len Dawson, Larry Csonka, Franco Harris & Clutch Biletnikof
  22. dxpavelka
    I don't remember there being an arbitration component but I could be wrong about that. He appeared in 30 games and 86 innings in 2001 and 15 games and 43 innings in 2001 so he already had quite a few innings before 2002. 2002 was the specific season where he had 14 starts and 13 relief appearances combining for 108 innings. And I stand corrected, he did pitch out of the bullpen in the 2002 playoffs. My memory was blurred by the fact that he SHOULD have been the # 1 starter after striking out 137 batters and compiling a 2.99 ERA in those 108 innings.
  23. dxpavelka
    May's 2015, and, I suspect, 2016, remind me a lot of 2001-2002 Johan Santana: He spends half his time in the bullpen and at the end of the season you look up and realize that we don't have a better starter.
  24. dxpavelka
    .500 (at best) finish here we come. A rotation full of average starters gets you an average (at best) finish. Mediocrity rules.
  25. dxpavelka
    The 1950s called and want you to come home.
