    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.

    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.

    What it means for Miranda is that maybe it's time to turn promise into productivity. You can't make soup out of promise.

    How about if we exchanged that "pleasant long term relationship with Jose Miranda" to "lighting a fire under his ass?"
  5. 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.
  6. dxpavelka
    If you understood this from the very beginning you were probably one of less than a dozen on here.

    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.

    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?
  9. dxpavelka
    what is this "bunting" you speak of sir Rodney?
  10. 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.
  11. dxpavelka
    Zips might not project arrivals but that doesn't mean the article can't.
  12. dxpavelka
    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.
  13. dxpavelka
    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.
  14. dxpavelka
    gotta be honest, there wasn't much there, there.
  15. dxpavelka
    was just getting ready to type the same thing
  16. dxpavelka
    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.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. dxpavelka
    So I understand, you're good with sub-par at 1B this year AND next year.......
  20. dxpavelka
    Obviously he deserves first shot and obviously he needs to seize the opportunity. Sometimes these things pretty much write themselves.
  21. 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.
  22. dxpavelka
    Johan Santana's and Shane Macks are rare. Pull up "Rule 5 Draft Results" on Wikipedia. Few stick around.
  23. 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
  24. dxpavelka
    MIGHT be overthinking just bit. Pretty sure my grandma could play RF. If she were alive.
  25. dxpavelka
    Miranda's had a multi year head start. He's done nothing with it.
