    If we're gonna question Gallo in right I don't know that I'd even think about center.
  2. dxpavelka
    Wow. I just read an article on this site advocating for Kep. I must need a drink.
  3. dxpavelka
    Sorry, I thought it would have been obvious. Not his best performance.

    What? After today what? Are you kidding me? Should I not be concerned about three walks and a pitch 5 feet outside the strike zone? Should I be concerned that I might be the only person on this site that seemed to notice the fact that he sat for a week between his first and second appearance this year because he hurt his arm while sleeping? Don't get me wrong, I love the guy. And yes I do think the should be starting. My opinion. And, yes, part of that opinion is based on the fact that I think in the back of his mind he realizes that NOT being a starter will negatively impact his career earning potential, maybe severely and I think that will cause him to leave town at the first opportunity and I don't want that to happen. Or am I supposed to wait for someone to tell me what my opinion is supposed to be.

    However, after today..........

    Get back to me if it's still over a thousand come mid June......

    Just don't be surprised if it ends up not being sustained. A zebra doesn't change his stripes.
  8. dxpavelka
    The strikeouts will always be there too. The "league" will be just fine with him hitting singles.
  9. dxpavelka
    We're not paying $11 Million for cheap hits to left field.
  10. dxpavelka
    Lets get over a 23 game sample size and remember what the 2300 at bat sample size looks like.
  11. dxpavelka
    He MIGHT miss out on breaking the team strikeout record--IF he misses enough games. '

    Funny how folks think ERA is no longer a valid stat unless they think it's gonna win them an argument. Berrios was better last year than any Twins starter not named Joe Ryan. End of story.
  13. dxpavelka
    He would have been our second best starter last year and would be in the rotation this year whether you like it or not.
  14. dxpavelka
    I assume you mean an OPS over .800 rather than HITTING over .800 which would typically mean batting average. If he merely hit over .800 he'd be worth $111 Million. F YOUR I, I spent most of the off-season prior to the Arraez trade shouting from the rooftops on this and other sites calling for the trade and pointing out that he won a batting title last year with an OPS UNDER .800 and how difficult that was to do. D.J. LeMahieu won a title with only 10 home runs and his OPS was over j1.000
  15. dxpavelka
    That's my whole point. NOBOBY on this roster is producing. I've said all spring that they did nothing to improve the offense. They scored less than 700 runs last year and are pacing even less this year.
  16. dxpavelka
    Would probably be willing to bet $11 Million that he doesn't end up with a 1.000 OPS.....
  17. dxpavelka
    What Berrios has or hasn't done in Toronto has no bearing on what he would or wouldn't have done here.
  18. dxpavelka
    Not angry at all. Just leery of some fans who blindly buy in to every move the front office makes. Yes, I know Berrios didn't seem to do much in Toronto last year but he would have been one of our top two starters. Could have made a difference for us last year. He'd still be part of our rotation this year and deservedly so. AND we might not have had to make the Mahle trade last year and we still might have a guy who IS producing at the big league level. And, yes, I agree that 22 is young for a pitcher but when that pitcher was a a big piece in a major trade at 19, 22 is not that young anymore. Not only do I think the fan base too easily buy into some moves it almost feels like some are based on what the FO reads on some of these websites. I constantly harp on moving on from Rosario. I'm 60 years old and old enough to remember when a front office in these parts would have been LAMBASTED for moving on from a guy who got MVP votes in his last two years here to save $8 Million. And, yes I know the move was made to make room for Kirilloff & Larnach. That has not panned out at all. Bottom line, I don't think that having an expectation to get some production within two years when you move the best starting pitcher you have developed in a generation is unreasonable.
  19. dxpavelka
    so you want to get me started on the primary part of the trade.... no expectation for immediate return but SOME return would be nice. can't have an SWR discussion without the trade being part of it. sorry
  20. dxpavelka
    ZERO return.
  21. dxpavelka
    He's been developing for half a decade. We still have ZERO return on the deal.
  22. dxpavelka
    Cuz we're pushing two years out on the Berrios trade and still have ZERO return on it????
  23. dxpavelka
    Still suffering from the fact that Kiriloff & Larnach have not delivered on the promise that precipitated the release of Rosario.
  24. dxpavelka
    Philadelphia fan complaints about their team: Trea Turner one home run, Nick Castellanos none. J.T. Realmuto K/BB: 21/2; Bryson Stott 18/1. Jake Cave getting regular playing time.
  25. dxpavelka
    If you expected him to do what he's doing you shouldn't be surprised.
