    Sure, why not let him go. We've never made a move like and had any reason to regret it.
  2. dxpavelka
    I'd like to think so but doesn't seem like the type of move this team is gonna make.
  3. dxpavelka
    They'll be able to choose from among 8 solid choices to fill four playoff rotation spots. Even be able to use the other four to double up with the first four thus taking pressure off the pen.

    My point had nothing to do with enjoying the post-season and everything to do with the fact that hovering around .500 baseball does not preclude the possibility of a team making a post-season run. Especially a team whose starting rotation leads the league in innings pitched and strikeouts and is on the cusp of leading in WHIP & BAA and not far off the lead in ERA.

    Easy for lots of folks to say no but I guarantee you Mauer was a Red Sox or a Yankee on April 1 2011 this fan base would have lynched management.

    Funny thing about baseball is that it has this thing that at the end of the day determines whether or not folks should be cheering for a first place team or any team. It's called October.

    And Brock Stewart has a better WAR than Duran. So he should be the closer when healthy? Advanced metrics are an excellent method of predicting the past.

    only 5 minutes left in tonight so I think that one's gonna come up short. Plus we've won 4 out of 5 so I don't see them rocking the boat anytime too soon.

    Coulombe would likely have replaced Pagan. Hasn't been any better than Pagan. No matter how much afformentioned rubes and website writers dislike Pagan.
  10. dxpavelka
    Power hitter who plays good defense whose average barely clears Jordan Addison's freeway speed vs. a no power little defense not much average guy. Wash. Rather bring up Larnach.
  11. dxpavelka
    Headline's a little deceptive. My guess is that the Twins aren't wrestling with that at all. Rubes and guys who write for websites might be but the team not so much.
  12. dxpavelka
    gallo gonna need to stay healthy to break the record
  13. dxpavelka
    Can't get rid of Gallo and put pursuits of strikeout records in jeopardy. That is all.
  14. dxpavelka
    You're right. That decision may well have come down to him or Emilio Pagan. Now take your Emilio Pagan sucks goggles off an compare the two objectively. Is it REALLY a slam dunk either way?
  15. dxpavelka
    You may be right. In a vacuum, Pham's presence might not impact the Twins for many years. His biggest impact MIGHT have been preventing Joey Gallo from breaking the team strikeout record. Personally, I'd DFA Gallo and HOPE that Wallner or Larnach or Austin Martin or Kala'i Rosario would make a breakthrough, have a magical, Randy Arozerana type post-season run and put a choke hold on LF for the next three quarters of a decade. But, alas, HOPE is not a sound strategy so we've claimed Jordan Luplow. If MLB bans right handed pitching this will be a home run move.

    No sense in making a deal just to make a deal.
  17. dxpavelka
    Sure it is. But if you win a bad division you still get into the playoffs. Everybody starts the playoffs with the same record.
  18. dxpavelka
    But that might put a dent in our quest for the MLB team strikeout record. AND in Gallo's quest for the team individual record.......
  19. dxpavelka
    How desperate do the Yankees have to be if they are looking to the Twins for LF help?
  20. dxpavelka
    so?
  21. dxpavelka
    Perhaps YOU should be the GM & manager.
  22. dxpavelka
    Seems like only a few weeks ago that fans were griping that all the Twins did was beat teams like the Royals. Problem solved and STILL the same griping. sheesh
  23. dxpavelka
    Deadline is 5 p.m. Central. Typically a few deals get announced after the deadline but extremely unlikely that anything comes out after the night games that night.
  24. dxpavelka
    Still going off the grid with Nick Senzel. Especially now that two former Twins farmhands have helped make him dispensable in Cincy. Can play CF & 3B (and probably all the corners) and is hitting the snot out of left handed pitching.
  25. dxpavelka
    I'll agree with almost everything you just wrote. I will question the last sentence though. You're right, you PROBABLY don't need 5 starters for the playoffs. As long as everyone stays healthy. Not just during the playoffs but in the two months of the regular season remaining. One of the, perhaps the main, reason our starting pitching has performed at the level it has this year is because, for the most part, they have remained relatively healthy. Approaching my sixth decade of being a fan of this team I could be a bit cynical. Just because our starters have been relatively healthy thus far is NOT an indication that they will stay that way. In fact, it MAY just mean that the bad stuff is yet to come. So, no, we won't need 5 starters for the playoffs. But I'd have NO issue with waking up on August 2 with 8 guys to choose 4 from among on October 4.
