    Pretty sure that had he stayed his salary would have been more than $20k. Say what you will about the $20k number but by rule it was not below the league minimum for a 3rd year player and not terribly far from the 1977 norm for a player not eligible for arbitration or free agency.

    He was never traded. It WAS up to him. He left as a free agent,

    Isn't short-sightedness a pre-requisite for being a Twins fan? And a keen understanding that THE SKY IS FALLING!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I was thinking .300 guys who hit 30 home runs, steal 30 bases, drive in a hundred and score a hundred but, sure, that'll work too.

    Pretty good chance that if Oakland isn't a **** show he doesn't even get a chance there. Also, not like he's the only hit first defense seldom corner OF type they've moved on from at similar career points. They've been right their fair share too. Not to mention, thoughts on adding him to the trade package might have changed had the return panned out a little better as well.

    This just in: Hindsight is 20/20

    Yes. The sky IS falling.

    There are only three words in the article that really have any meaning: "on the bench." If either of the two gets off the bench it's probably gonna be a long day. But we always seem to have one guy like that on the roster every year. Carlos Santana, Donovan Solano, Jake Cave, Kyle Garlick, Willians Austadillo, Ryan LaMarre, Some work out: Santana, Donovan. Some are just fun: Austadillo.

    Firing a manager / coach mid-season is generally a bad idea. Inevitably, the team plays better after the change. Often do in no part to the change. Far too often improvement leads to the interim guy being retained rather than a thorough and exhaustive search being made and far too often doing so proves to be a bad move.

    12-7: Problem solved

    Love Keaschall but with the way big league rosters are constructed these days it's tough to roster a guy who can't contribute in the field unless he's producing at a Nelson Cruz type level at DH. Seems unlikely. We now see why teams draft shortstops an inordinate amount of the time. Ya just hope somebody sticks. Feels like most of the 3B-SS "potential" is parked at Cedar Rapids and that feels like a reach.
  12. dxpavelka
    Who cares? The problem is that they are both still PROSPECTS. Get 'em up. Rodriguez in LF, Larnach to DH. Keaschall at 2B, Lee to 3B. Lewis to 1B. Cut the ******** and mixing and matching, laminate the lineup card for the next half decade and move on. This ain't rocket science.
  13. dxpavelka
    They have no DH so that is fine.

    What's up with all the doom and gloom. Haven't you heard? The team is going to be sold. The new owners are gonna spend money like drunken sailors on shore leave. Soon we'll be in the business of trading away excess free agent bats. Good times.

    You've got a lot of time. Maybe you can try the **** in a box option. Worked out well for me. **** in the box and had to mail to box. To Green Bay. The day the Vikings and Packers played to a tie. Mailing a box of **** to Green Bay was one of the more satisfying experiences on can have.
  16. dxpavelka
    Hope those future chances work out better.
  17. dxpavelka
    Good luck with that.

    It feels like big league managers have developed some sort of an obsession with having relief pitchers START and complete an inning. Yesterday was the perfect example. Pitcher was pitching well. Run him out there to start the next inning. If he struggles with those 7-8-9 batters or the guys at the top after, pull him. But give him the chance. Who knows, Cole Sands might have fared better coming in in the middle of the inning, maybe with one or two outs already recorded. The third time thru the order thing seems a bit ridiculous. Based solely on analytics. A manager should be able to sense that a pitcher has something left in the tank and base his decision making on something other than analytics. If not, why employ a human to do the job. Hire AI or one of those machines everyone is touting to call balls and strikes. Same thing goes for that magical number of a hundred pitches in a start. It's entirely possible that a pitcher just might be able to throw 107 pitches and be effective and not have his arm fall off now or in the future. And, just for Twins fans to note, it ain't just Rocco. There might be some other guys who on occasion make a decision that works out that we feel like Rocco wouldn't have made but by and large they all seem to play with the same playbook.

    it's HIS business. did you not read what he wrote. privacy be damned. By the way he's going to be filming your next colonoscopy.

    Kiersey is a 4A ball player. He's got 4 OF in front of him. 2 of them are even hitting. The only good thing that comes if Kiersey has to play is that it's almost football season.

    You are saying a top 10 draft choice can't hit based on 185 big league plate appearances. I see a bright future. For YOU. In a big league front office.
  23. dxpavelka
    We're 4-8. The answer is pretty much ANYBODY
  24. dxpavelka
    Not gonna do that at st paul

    ********. Not really a thought of any sort. Just felt I needed to get on here and say something negative about the man. Like all the cool kids in school.
