    To me the question is fairly simple. If you were told you to pick the 3 best 2Bs in the game, would one of them be Dozier? If so, he's likely elite when taking into account position. Really it's a matter of opinion. The numbers suggest he very much is an elite 2B at this point.

    KC Fans have endured many, many years of futility, I am all for letting them enjoy the moment.

    Is this kind of like the question, 'What would you do for a Klondike bar?' :-)

    Kris Bryant continues to do awesome, BTW :-) So does Pederson.

    yeah, I'll take Fulmer, but good to read what you wrote there. thanks for the info.

    I don't think the powers to be actually figured his power numbers were there for good after only one season of having them. I would hope they wouldn't think that. That would be poor trend analysis. I think most FOs would have waited to see if Mauer was able to repeat 2009's power number before assuming 2009 was going to be the new norm. I certainly didn't expect him to continue that. Let's say he instead just won another batting title in 2009 (not exactly out of the norm for him at the time) and didn't have the power numbers jumping up too, that's still 3 batting titles in the last 4 years. He still gets a huge contract and likely the same one. I also doubt on-field production was the only thing being considered when they were considering his contract.

    would have been better, in regards to their luck with Arizona State players in general (not '70s), if they hadn't passed on Pedroia like 6 times in the draft.

    I wasn't slamming his point, it was only an FYI. Some may not know that. Options are a tricky business sometimes.
  11. jimmer
    FYI, Plouffe is out of options. He can't be sent down to work on things.

    I understand what you are saying, I'm just saying I've heard many so called experts say that it's more likely a good prospect will get called up when in contention as opposed to holding them back. And I've heard it recently too because of all the callups that are occurring on teams that are doing well.
  13. jimmer
    I've heard a few supposed experts disagree with you on this.

    'What's The Best Plan For Tyler Jay?' Find a time machine, go back to the day of the draft, and pick Fulmer instead? Is that an option?

    The fans vote for, what, 9 or 10 players on each roster? Each roster has, what, 33 something players on it? The starters usually only play like 3 innings and the fans usually get a good chunk of the starters right or at least arguably right. Have to remember that the voting starts way early and if one starts voting early, a player who looks worthy in May might not end up worthy in July but the votes count. It's really not as big of a deal as many make it out to be.

    I never criticized the extension. I thought it was a very good idea at the time and that the Twins actually got a bargain.

    'Fun With Numbers: 2015 Edition' Some of these numbers aren't so fun.

    In fairness, this article was about Hunter's 'character' was it not? But yeah, it needs to stop when it goes past him to just a social issues in general. There are other forums for that discussion.

    Anyway, we've gone way too far off topic and this topic has been over-played. Let's stick to his on-field/clubhouse positive contributions.

    When the signing happened I was against it. I wasn't worried so much about his offense as his defense. His defense has been bad, but his offense has been good and the team is doing well and he's certainly a big part of it. He's already been worth the money and it doesn't seem like he's blocked anyone worth having up. And he's made the clubhouse fun, which is a good thing for his teammates.

    But that's not what you said, buddy. You said, 'As long as the twins are within 4 games at the trade deadline'. I remember Ryan trading Castillo back when we were, what 6-7 games back of a playoff spot? One of his reasons he said he did that was that he'd rather get something for him than not since he wasn't going to re-sign him, That went over like a ton of bricks with the fans and the players. So yes, like you said, that would send a horrible message. it could happen though.
  22. jimmer
    Might be the only guy who has a perfect record in judging whether or not a signing was good :-) I'm glad Torii is doing well and as long as he keeps hitting he's bringing real value to the team.
  23. jimmer
    Dave, Assuming Pelfrey is being considered pitching at his bets. you don't want to trade a veteran at his high peak value while you can?
  24. jimmer
    Arcia or Vargas will likely be our DH of the future, whether that's 2017, or 2018. The other likely won't be on the team, or shouldn't be.

    Again, it depends on your definition of character. Some might think his very public stance on certain things puts his character a bit in question, depending on where you stand on the issues. Some may think it's just a person's excuse to attack him for whatever reason which just attacks THAT person's character instead of Hunter's. Which, apparently, is okay. In any event, he's been pretty darn good with the bat and we are winning. So that's good. Good for him and the team.
