    The comp was in reference to someone comping Miranda to Koskie at a similar age. You can slice it anyway you want but Miranda comps a helluva lot closer to Parmalee than to Koskie.

    Wow. That's my line. Except I use a quarter. "That and a quarter will get you a cup of coffee. Not the good kind but the crappy kind you get for a quarter." Maybe I'm just old. But, yeah I was expecting some arrival date and stat projections. You know, to get us excited for what might be coming.

    gotta be honest, there wasn't much there, there.
  4. dxpavelka
    was just getting ready to type the same thing

    After 3 years in the big leagues Koskie had a 11.8 WAR. AND he was a plus defender. AND he was a plus defender. Miranda 3 years in has a 2.3 WAR and may never be an average defender.
  6. dxpavelka
    He had half a season to distinguish himself as par at 1B and failed to do so. He's Chjris Parmalee at best. That ain't much.
  7. dxpavelka
    Generally speaking I think teams build their offense and then, when having done so, they uncover whatever defensive weaknesses they believe may keep them from competing and then try to fill those without giving up the offensive gains they have made. Key word TRY.
  8. dxpavelka
    So I understand, you're good with sub-par at 1B this year AND next year.......
  9. dxpavelka
    Obviously he deserves first shot and obviously he needs to seize the opportunity. Sometimes these things pretty much write themselves.
  10. dxpavelka
    OR maybe it'll be just fine and somebody's looking for clicks. We'll find out. That's why they play the games.
  11. dxpavelka
    Johan Santana's and Shane Macks are rare. Pull up "Rule 5 Draft Results" on Wikipedia. Few stick around.
  12. dxpavelka
    MIGHT be a bit premature to say that a guy with less than a thousand plate appearances above A ball is at the make or break point. Just sayin
  13. dxpavelka
    MIGHT be overthinking just bit. Pretty sure my grandma could play RF. If she were alive.
  14. dxpavelka
    Miranda's had a multi year head start. He's done nothing with it.
  15. dxpavelka
    Actually if this guys does anything close to what Solano & Santana have done the last two years I'll be ecstatic. If there'd been indication that Miranda might have done that, we wouldn't be here. Same goes for the last two years.

    Nowhere did I say anyone is signing him to be a starter. You ASSUME he would have flunked out as a starter for 1-3 seasons. Do you really think HE feels that way? And I never said he IS mad or that he wants out. Nor did I say there is any EVIDENCE that he wants to get away from here. What I HAVE said, and will continue to say is that when the opportunity to do so comes, he WILL leave. So go ahead. File this away. And when you are able to PROVE me wrong, do so. But I don't think I will be. He'll never sign a contract here when he has free agency as an option. Write that down.
  17. dxpavelka
    became?
  18. dxpavelka
    And sometimes a manager has to trust his pitcher and at least give a guy a chance to go thru that third time. The top guys did it for a hundred years. No reason to believe that some can't do it now.
  19. dxpavelka
    I love how wins and losses are now a terrible stat. Until they fit our narrative.
  20. dxpavelka
    How much do we really ever hear from Dominican guys in the media?
  21. dxpavelka
    Exactly my point. NOBODY is inclined to put that kind of money into a RP. There is a good chance that never giving him the opportunity to be a starter costs him tens of millions of dollars over the course of his career. Would you stick around?
  22. dxpavelka
    Duran started 80 of 84 career games in the minor leagues. Was never given a chance at the big league level. The difference between being an above average big league starter and even a star reliever is millions of dollars over the course of a career, maybe hundreds of millions. At least Jax got a shot to start but was never successful at it.
  23. dxpavelka
    This started the day they told him he was no longer going to start. Will likely cost him millions over the course of his career. He'll walk asap and I won't blame him.
  24. dxpavelka
    The Twins will do just enough little things (little to us and to the team but BIG to a player) to piss him off and he'll leave the moment he can in free agency. Never giving a guy who was a starter all thru the minors a chance to be a starter in the big leagues. Telling a guy who has been a closer for three years that he's now a "high leverage reliever" instead of a closer. The day he can be gone, he's gone. Cue the "need to trade him before he leaves" talk shortly.

    Thanks
