    Gallo with more hits than strikeouts in your sim. Credibility gone.
  2. dxpavelka
    It would be a colossal mistake if anyone other than Duran is the closer. Almost as colossal as not giving him a shot to be the ace at the top of the rotation.
  3. dxpavelka
    It'll be better but not as much better as fans expect.
  4. dxpavelka
    Actually as of this moment nobody's played a game and we, along with everyone else are exactly the same as last year.
  5. dxpavelka
    You should absolutely care. But beware that until you see those improvements actually play out on the field you can only speculate that it APPEARS that they have improved the roster.
  6. dxpavelka
    Last I checked, the games aren't played on paper...
  7. dxpavelka
    They were unable to replace, via the farm, a corner outfielder that the fan base has deemed highly replaceable. Does not speak well of said farm.
  8. dxpavelka
    No, it shows how far we HOPE we've come. HOPE is not a strategy. The coming months will show how far we've come.

    Kepler is still being used because, even though he may not be what we hope for offensively, nobody else has done what's needed to take the spot away from him. Buxton is not being used defensively, NOW. That could change. As could someone else show enough stick to take away Kepler's spot. Hasn't happened yet.

    The key may well be whether Michael Taylor's bat produces more than whoever else may have been the DH. Even though the guys we rotated thru the DH spot last year, in the aggregate, posted numbers worthy of hitting in the top half of the lineup, last I checked Nelson Cruz is now Joe Ryan and Jim Thome is old. Real old.

    We were in first place for a hundred days last year. I'd think it wise to wait at least fifty this year before making any determinations as to whether this roster is better. What happens the next six months has a funny way of determining that.

    I was really hoping to never hear the name Cave again.
  13. dxpavelka
    Actually, we have a lot of options, MOST of whom can replace him right now. Farmer, Solano, Gordon for sure. Julien and / or Lee if we have the balls to take a shot. Pretty much just Lewis & Martin that can't step in now. Not to mention that this is the type of situation you brought Willi Castro here for.

    83. Haven't added offensive punch; relying on health. What could go wrong? Added pitching depth but not an ace. What could go wrong? Bullpen should (could) be stronger--IF healthy. What could go wrong?
  15. dxpavelka
    This can't be. I've spent two months with folks telling me I was crazy for being concerned that we haven't addressed our lack of offense and now you're trying to tell me that in addition to that we're right back where we were with the injury situation. Woe is me.
  16. dxpavelka
    Should have targeted Gabriel Moreno when everyone thought the Jays would move a different C.
  17. dxpavelka
    Astros signed Jon Singleton to a 5 year $10 million deal in 2014. He rewarded them with 420 plate appearances and a negative .9 WAR
  18. dxpavelka
    It means that the 150 games a year we've been able to watch for free for the last few decades will no longer be free. OK, maybe they haven't been free. They've been factored into our cable cost. But at the end of the day they WILL end up costing you MORE. Which MIGHT be fine. The majority of folks who will read this have spent decades begging for the team to spend more. Here's our opportunity to contribute more so they CAN spend more. We should all be ecstatic.
  19. dxpavelka
    How about a guy with 31 home runs in his last 530 at bats......
  20. dxpavelka
    Any thread about Martin IS about the trade. At least until one of them does something to make the trade look worthwhile. Like it or not.
  21. dxpavelka
    No reason to believe he wouldn't have signed the same deal here that he did in Toronto. If there is than there is also a need for some serious organization introspection. If I had a nickel for every zero doubt guy who never got there, I'D have been able to sign Berrios.
  22. dxpavelka
    None of which are any indication of what he would be if he were still here. And as terrible as you might want to believe he was last year, he still would have been better than any Twins starter not named Joe Ryan and by the end of this year will most likely be better than any Twins starter not named Pablo Lopez.
  23. dxpavelka
    It means we're nearly two years into the Berrios trade with no return.
  24. dxpavelka
    I'll take the over on wins, but barely. They've helped their depth but haven't really done much to improve.
  25. dxpavelka
    And he will be gone soon after he realizes that the role the team is using him in will cost him tens (hundreds?) of millions of dollars over the course of his career.
