    Bundy would have been a lot cooler if we had called him either Al or Ted
  2. dxpavelka
    Old enough to remember when the reaction to a guy on our staff with a 5.04 ERA was "at least he's not as bad as those stiffs at seven and a half....."
  3. dxpavelka
    Advanced analytics are an excellent way of predicting the past.

    Eddie brought heart, something that can't be measured and is sorely lacking in this team. Can't see it but we can sure see that it's not there.
  5. dxpavelka
    The Rosario decision was the "right" decision and yet we've spent two years wandering the desert searching for a LF while Eddie's wearing a ring. Got it.
  6. dxpavelka
    The exercise was not to make a likeable comparison. It was to make an accurate one. Of course we'd like him to end up more like MIranda and Arraez than Gallo. Worth noting that Gallo is a 2 time All-Star, Gold Glove winner and 40 home run hitter. I guess time will be the judge.

    hope not
  8. dxpavelka
    He'd better be or some heads should roll.

    It almost feels as if the magic elixir is to limp into the playoffs and have Miguel Sano reappear.

    Three of the top twenty rookies in MLB this season sure sounds like standouts to me.
  11. dxpavelka
    Prospect rankings don't factor in the fact that we have three of the top twenty rookies in MLB this season.
  12. dxpavelka
    The word you're looking for is heart. Can't measure it but you can sure tell when it's not there. Been harping on this since Eddie Rosario left. Got worse when Nelly Cruz followed him out the door. I know. There's going to be a whole bunch of folks are gonna jump on this thread and tell me that Eddie's got a .552 OPS and that he's a terrible defensive outfielder. I don't care. He's got a ring and we've trotted a dozen guys who don't have one out to LF since he left.
  13. dxpavelka
    I'd feel better about the trajectory of our system if we weren't two years into the Kirillof / Larnach experience and they had more than 800 combined plate appearances at the big league level.
  14. dxpavelka
    Like I said, he has heart. Something this team seemingly places little value on. Likely gone.
  15. dxpavelka
    And yet he has more World Series rings than we have playoff wins in two decades.
  16. dxpavelka
    Complaining we didn't keep a guy who played with heart. Get used to it. Correa and Urshela are the only guys on this year's team that do and will probably both be gone next year too.
  17. dxpavelka
    I'm focusing on heart. You know, that thing that can't be measured but is sorely missing on this squad. And actually, your guy Gio might be the one that actually does have it. Probably why he'll likely be elsewhere next year.
  18. dxpavelka
    Interesting that Eddie Rosario's in Atlanta and Nick Gordon is the only one of the dozen left fielders we've used since he left that's on your list.
  19. dxpavelka
    The only way one of these guys ends up here is if Correa agrees to something in the 5 year $180 to $210 million range. VERY unlikely.
  20. dxpavelka
    Those stats are from a very small sample size and Kiriloff can't stay healthy. Not to mention one of the other two will probably regress a bit.
  21. dxpavelka
    On the one hand everyone commenting on here is willing to let Sano walk and on the other hand our lack of hitting is what has pushed to two games down in the standings...
  22. dxpavelka
    Every damn time I hear this team described as lifeless and lacking heart the words "eddie rosario" come to mind.
  23. dxpavelka
    Sano will contribute in the post-season. Laugh. I don't care. Baseball's a funny game. Stuff happens every October that nobody saw coming. You heard it hear first.

    75 RBI or 75 RBIs?

    dxpavelka commented on Greglw3's blog entry in Greg Allen

    On this Twins team, this year, 75 is a number that may not matter. Let's try this again and use the number 71.
