    I still want to know: If any undrafted college grad has ever made it to the big leagues faster than he did.
  2. dxpavelka
    You hit on some but I'm not gonna call two 1st round picks, a three time batting champ and the most exciting (maybe not productive) power hitter this team has had since Killebrew random.
  3. dxpavelka
    Randy Dobnak?

    I would encourage you to add the word "might" to new owners coming and emphasize the MIGHT regarding them changing the financial landscape for the better. These are unknowns and maybe just dreams until they ain't.
  5. dxpavelka
    You are right. It's spring. Hope springs eternal. Nobody thinks they are "a couple of arms the 'might' be able to contribute soon" away. Nor should the Twins.
  6. dxpavelka
    You ASSUME Bader and France are bad signings. Just like Santana and Solano were. Unless, of course, they're not.
  7. dxpavelka
    "Surplus of Arms" Said no baseball guy ever.
  8. dxpavelka
    I'm guessing this year will be impacted more by this year than last year.
  9. dxpavelka
    Just so we don't forget, before he got hurt last year Joe was one of the top 12 pitchers in the AL. As were Lopez & Ober. To be honest, any of the three could be on this list.
  10. dxpavelka
    What if France sticks around because he's a positive?
  11. dxpavelka
    Not only were we proven wrong but there may have been much that was never proven........
  12. dxpavelka
    guess that's why they play the games
  13. dxpavelka
    OR they don't believe France is worse. Which speaks not well for Mr. Miranda. Might I remind you of the light in which most of viewed Mr. Santana in a year ago and Mr. Solano in two years ago. Hell even two months into the season two years ago Mr. Solano had FIVE RBI. Santana won a Gold Glove and we don't sniff the post-season in 2023 without Solano's contributions. Seems like sometimes the team knows some stuff we don't.

    I love how everybody assumes a new owner would spend like a drunken sailor at a pub. Hell, I'm old enough to remember when folks thought that of the Pohlads after they bought the club from Calvin. I'll bet anyone that when and if the team is sold, they won't win two World Series within 8 years.
  15. dxpavelka
    I will make two replies. I have little doubt that he worked hard to be an acceptable third baseman. The fact that it appears he is no longer being asked to be one may be an indication that his work may not have been enough. As far as maximizing hitting the ball hard, we had a guy here for almost 8 years who hit the ball harder than any Twin since # 3. Was fun as hell to watch when he DID hit the ball hard. Seems like when it comes to guys who hit the ball hard the team places a certain level of value on doing it with some sort of consistency. Again, Miranda has not proven to do that. Maybe he will. Maybe he won't.
  16. dxpavelka
    This just in. We have learned that points will NOT be awarded for last year. And for that matter, I have little doubt that Miranda can play worse than he did last year. Seems the team might feel that way as well. Hence, the presence of France. OR, he could play BETTER than he did last year. As could France. THIS, it has been learned is why they will play the games.
  17. dxpavelka
    What it means for Miranda is that maybe it's time to turn promise into productivity. You can't make soup out of promise.
  18. dxpavelka
    How about if we exchanged that "pleasant long term relationship with Jose Miranda" to "lighting a fire under his ass?"
  19. dxpavelka
    WAIT a minute. NOW you're trying to tell me that whoever buys the team is NOT going to come in and outspend the Dodgers? Stop.
  20. dxpavelka
    If you understood this from the very beginning you were probably one of less than a dozen on here.
  21. dxpavelka
    They never said they were going to sell the team. What was said was that they were going to explore the possibility of selling the team. Rube nation is, and has been, WAY out over their skis on this one.
  22. dxpavelka
    But is Miranda good enough to be a key cog in a championship contender? I haven't seen it. I can't give him a full-time job based on what I've seen. Sorry. Can't do it. Will he be given opportunity? Sure. What will he do with it?
  23. dxpavelka
    what is this "bunting" you speak of sir Rodney?
  24. dxpavelka
    Wouldn't be the first guy to struggle at other positions and find himself defensively at 1B. Miranda could do the same but we haven't seen anything to give us much confidence that will happen. At the end of the day the best guy will play more.
  25. dxpavelka
    Zips might not project arrivals but that doesn't mean the article can't.
