    Would likely need to get this off the ground by the trade deadline to accomplish that goal. Stuff seldom moves that quickly.
  2. dxpavelka
    "Regional sports networks are disappearing" I would assume the revenue they previously generated is going to be gone as well. Not a good thing for a team like the Twins.
  3. dxpavelka
    I like the kid. A lot. But if we trusted him to start Game 4 of a playoff series we would probably show that by being far less interested in trading for SP.
  4. dxpavelka
    Slightly concerned that we might have a lot of guys regress to the previously established mean next year. Hope not but hope is not a good strategy.
  5. dxpavelka
    HOPEFUL that Wood-Richardson continues to grow enough to be a guy we can trust to start in the middle of a post-season series.
  6. dxpavelka
    Would I be wrong to settle for him just being on the field for a hundred games in any given season?

    Old enough to remember this team adding Jaimie Garcia AND trading him away at the deadline. Little remembered fact is that he had more wins for us that year than he did for the Yankees after we traded him away. Another fun fact is that the guy they traded away to get Garcia has lost twice as many games as he has won at both the minor and major league levels.

    if only depth
  9. dxpavelka
    Based on what? ONE trade? For Margot? Or maybe the time they UNLOADED the 2020 Cy Young runner on us? Just curious?

    Sorry. We listened to those opinions for over a decade. Today they're fair game.

    If this front office / manager is to be commended for anything it would be for having assembled a team with multiple guys who can play multiple positions. Lee is a fully capable replacement for at least three positions. Miranda for two. Castro for at least 5. Kiriloff can play multiple. Too bad he can't hit big league pitching for extended periods of time or stay healthy when he does. Austin Martin might just be another Swiss Army Knife. Even Buxton can DH one or two days a week and seemingly not suffer offensively or defensively. Having multiple guys who can take a day or two off a week and play two or three (or more) positions gives you enough options that your offense (and hopefully defense) will seldom suffer from the loss of one (or more?) guys for short periods of time. Such a lineup can be somewhat slump proof as well. Also allows for sitting certain guys based on certain match-ups. (Rocco's heaven). Although as a fan it can be a little frustrating to have the number three team in the AL in runs scored and only have one (or two with injuries) All-Stars and probably only one of the top three dozen offensive players in the AL. Guess that's why they call it a TEAM.

    go for broke: BOTH
  13. dxpavelka
    even if it would, is a guy we had pegged as our 4th or 5th starter, a guy with a -.6 WAR the last two years combined, the "playoff caliber starter" we seek?
  14. dxpavelka
    I should think that if we are seeking a playoff caliber starting pitcher we'd be focusing on one for THIS year. If not, we might as well be selling wholesale.
  15. dxpavelka
    a guy you have demoted to AAA isn't going to bring the "playoff caliber starting pitcher" our fan base is obsessed with.
  16. dxpavelka
    Never forget that 90% of the game is half luck.
  17. dxpavelka
    the takeout slide isn't a thing anymore--until it is
  18. dxpavelka
    Lee at 2B. Lewis at 3B. Last thing we need is Lewis getting crunched turning a DP.
  19. dxpavelka
    as stated
  20. dxpavelka
    Actually Butcher was traded to the Indians for Neal Heaton. I only remember this because it happened on my wedding day. Heaton was traded 8 months later along with Al Cardwood, Yorkis Perez & Jeff Reed for Reardon & Tom Nieto.
  21. dxpavelka
    The only analytic I need is to remember that he's a rookie who has made TWO starts in the bigs.
  22. dxpavelka
    He may not quack like an ace today but one thing we should always remember: Things change fast.
  23. dxpavelka
    Good teams are historically strong up the middle. All-Star SS & 2B. Rejuvenated CF. C who performed at or near an All-Star level for the first two months of the season. Only seems to be one missing puzzle piece.......
  24. dxpavelka
    69 games remaining in the season could change a lot of things.
  25. dxpavelka
    Fire Gardy. Oh, wait. Never mind. Why does Frank Quilici still have a job? Billy Ball.
