    yawn

    I didn't. Scanned for about 30 seconds and reevaluated my life choices.

    I fear you have Arraez confused with someone else. He finished 13th in the MVP voting. Highly unlikely that he'll finish in top 3 this year either.
  4. dxpavelka
    Don't sleep on that injury theory just yet. A LOT of us liked the trade. Trust our instincts. Less than half a season is just that--less than half a season.

    Arraez won the batting title last year with an OPS below .800. That's hard to do. For reference, D.J. LaMeahieu won the batting title a few years back with only 10 home runs. His OPS was over 1.000. Arraez is over .900 this year. Just makes it sting a little more.

    WANT in one hand.....

    Hindsight: 20/20

    You mean like the "empty" batting title Arraez won last year?
  9. dxpavelka
    Unless they view Miranda as the future at 3B, NO. And pretty sure they don't.

    Who creates an all-time Twins team using fantasy values?
  11. dxpavelka
    Who knew the offense would be this pathetic? We ALL should have known. What did we do to improve the offense other than trade away the leading hitter in the AL? NOTHING. We did nothing to improve the offense and we're on pace to score almost exactly the same number of runs as we did last year. Why are we surprised?

    If only I had all of the comments praising the deal when it happened because they were finally going out and getting a front line starter.
  13. dxpavelka
    And unless they COMPLETELY face plant it's highly unlikely to happen in the off-season either.

    An oft-quoted bon mot (frequently attributed to Albert Einstein, Benjamin Franklin, or a number of other people who probably never said it) is that insanity may be defined as “doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” While the job of lexicographers might be easier if they were allowed to use witty sayings instead of precise definitions, such belletristic labors are not within their purview. The straight facts about insanity are these: it has been in use in English since the late 16th century, for the first two hundred years or so carrying only the literal meaning “the condition of being mentally deranged.” In the 19th century it began to take on a looser sense, “extreme folly or unreasonableness.” In modern usage, insanity may be found in both senses: you may tell your brother that trying to skateboard while holding onto a car is "insanity" (in which case you mean that it is extremely foolish) or encounter the stricter original meaning in such contexts as insanity plea.

    I had them pegged at 83 wins but don't judge seasons in June.
  16. dxpavelka
    Not sure where you think I said anything about him continuing to play the same way.
  17. dxpavelka
    Now let's not sell 'em short. Gallo's average is all the way up to .192
  18. dxpavelka
    TALENT doesn't hit .230 TALENT doesn't project to score fewer than 700 runs in a season. Again. TALENT isn't a roster with ONE OPS over .800 TALENT doesn't strike out 30% of the time. But you go ahead and keep believing what you believe if it helps you sleep at night.

    Changing anything or everything or some combination in between guarantees nothing except gives folks new folks to bitch about.
  20. dxpavelka
    Trust me, the NY fan base is going ten times more brutal on Cashman than ours is on the current (or any) regime.
  21. dxpavelka
    It's an argument that can't be proven either way.
  22. dxpavelka
    WAR, like most analytics, is a made up number that is what it is because someone says it is.
  23. dxpavelka
    Brian Cashman is going on a decade and a half. Could change at any point. So could our fortunes. Not gonna win it every year. Just need that one magical year where everything goes right. Changing anything or everything or some combination in between guarantees nothing except gives folks new folks to bitch about.
  24. dxpavelka
    Braves are a superior team because their lineup is scattered with players with heart. Players who produce above and beyond what the "analytics" say they should produce. We don't have that .
  25. dxpavelka
    and yet his team is 20 games over .500
