    Keep him in just long enough to really let the game get away from us.
  2. jimmer
    A real 1B stretches enough to make that an out.
  3. jimmer
    I've seen it called a lot and argued to be called even more.
  4. jimmer
    When did the Royals decide one of the very best defensive CFs in the game the last four years should be moved to RF?
  5. jimmer
    If Kepler runs all out there, he's safe
  6. jimmer
    The Keys stats this broadcast team uses cracks me up.
  7. jimmer
    He said Olympic Volleyball.

    I had a two year tour in Germany, and was never there for OKtoberfest.

    I was wondering which arcane rule he was referring to.
  10. jimmer
    yeah, pretty soon he'll hit doubt digits... The second game in his last 11 games he got at least one BB. That qualifies as quite often recently for Dick.
  11. jimmer
    So two games in a row with Mauer not at 1B? yup, defense is a priority...
  12. jimmer
    Bert now thinks players should have intent before getting called out for running outside the baseline. Players are taught to run inside on bunts to try and force a bad throw. The rules are in place. Run in the baseline. No need to read a players mind to see if he meant to interfere.
  13. jimmer
    There is nothing fine with this defense.
  14. jimmer
    Twins have gotten way more value from him on the field alone than they will end up paying him.
  15. jimmer
    Polanco at shortstop isnt any worse than what we have trotted out there since Hardy left. in fact, he looks pretty good there.
  16. jimmer
    the point of showing his FIP is to show that even with a good defense, he would still be a bad starter. As far as knowing why one gives someone an extension, thats obvious. What apparently isnt obvious is the type of player that makes it a good move for the team to buy out some free agent years. Gibson is not one.
  17. jimmer
    he is in his prime years now and he blows. He is getting worse not better. Players dont normally get better in their early thirties which is where hed be in his FA eligible years. Id rather we shoot for better myself.

    Edmonds was an awesome defensive CF who ended up with an OPS in the .900s. 64.5 WAR. Lofton (who also deserves to be in) 62.4 WAR. Not sure what the negative for Edmonds would be or why Lofton would be 10 times more deserving. Career wise (not just prime): Lofton wRC+ of 108. Edmonds wRC+ 132. Lofton's UZR: -4.9. Edmonds UZR: 19.9. Before Revere showed up, Lofton probably had the weakest arm for an OF I had ever seen. Noodle arm.

    For the love of (insert Deity of Choice), don't buy out any of his free agent years. I think I mentioned that earlier. Why would we want to buy out his age 32 and beyond years after seeing what kind of pitcher he is in supposedly his prime now? Cause the first year of FA years, he'll be 32.
  20. jimmer
    yeah, I love playing Marco Polo...

    73/42 was Gibson, 66/39 was Gonzalves. It's what I wrote. You quoted it where I said Gibson was 73/42 and I had already written 66 to 39 for Gonzalves in an earlier post during the discussion I was having with another poster.
  22. jimmer
    The one in the Wizard of Oz was quite nice.
  23. jimmer
    And they were 22nd in DRS last year and last in 2014. Buxton has 6 DRS in only 500 or so innings played in the field Mauer has 4 DRS in hair over 700 innings played in the field.
  24. jimmer
    Do we have awesome defenders coming? Right now his FIP is 4.64, his worst in 3 seasons, so I don't know. Not sure he can use defense as an excuse.
  25. jimmer
    I'm not at all suggesting he should be up and I'm sure he needs to work on things. I'm hoping they aren't trying to make him a throw strikes at all cost type pitchers. Sometimes throwing a pitch out of the zone is what you should do.
