    Haven't looked. Everyone know Polanco was optioned? Not that anyone would notice. Oh, BTW, is Meyer still in the Twins organization? :-)

    The offense was pretty bad last year too. Sequencing made it look better to some than it actually was.

    Santana is still sitting in the dugout fighting tears away. Rest of dugout is empty.

    Having watched/listened that guy on TV for quite some time (wish that wasn't true), he likely scoffed because he doesn't believe an old school HOFer would be on the hot seat. Very likely also believes Molitor shouldn't be on the hot seat.

    not everyone seems to agree. someone just wrote a day or two ago that we had a very good 40 man roster. :-)

    I hope that Rey is a Kenobi and it turns out that this whole Saga is about how the Kenobi's were the unheralded good guys who brought balance to the force and that the Skywalkers were the evil ones after all. That's the kind of twwist that would make an awesome story even more awesome! And while I mostly hated Episode I, Qui-Gonn was a great character (and Maul was too).

    Nice athletic play, JOE!!!!

    There is only ONE Star Wars night a year and that is May 4th.

    Qui-Gon Jinn or Obi-Wan.

    Correct me if I am wrong, but Mauer got a double and THEN was tagged out? Did they call that a single because I know I saw the same thing happen less than a week ago in a different game where it was called a double. It should too, since he did reach safely only to then be caught off the bag.

    how small of a hick town do you come from? :-)
  13. jimmer
    are you caught up with GOT? :-)

    Bert is in the bag? Nothing new there. :-)

    I just recorded that movie again. Must have seen it 20 times so far.

    for example, he just scored on a play he wouldn't have scored on from 2B.
  17. jimmer
    trying for third with ONE out has merit.
  18. jimmer
    bunt attempt? really?
  19. jimmer
    already not on the same page?

    One of the worst umpires in the game, and certainly the biggest jerk, is behind the plate today. Fun.
  21. jimmer
    He hasn't pitched for two weeks so far.

    I agree with almost the entirety of your post, but I'll address the part of your post I put in bold. In today's day and age, and with pitchers not close to ready in our system, signing Hughes for 3 years at 8M a year wasn't bad. It's about what one pays for a veteran #4, #5 pitcher. I know, crazy, but its true. It's not a big contract nowadays. That signing was fine, IMO. The team assuming he'd continue what he did in 2014 and re-doing his contract, was the huge problem.
  23. jimmer
    I'd argue Mauer was already going to get a very similar contract whether he hit for power in 2009 or not. I mean, we can't pretend his BA and OBP in 2009 was out of line since him getting a batting title was hardly new for him. So if his 2009 had like 15 HR less, his contract is still monstrous. He was an elite catcher before 2009 ever happened.
  24. jimmer
    and if he somehow repeats 2014, which was very doubtful, and the team felt he priced himself too high, we could trade him. Let someone else bet on him finally turning the corner. Nothing justifies extending him after the first year of a 3 year-24M dollar deal.
  25. jimmer
    My problem with the Hughes signing didn't happen in hindsight. Didn't like it the very moment it happened. 2014 was a complete outlier season and it was as obvious then as it is now. Same with Suzuki and getting a contract after his outlier season (or in his case, only half season). In Hughes case, as a GM, you'd HAVE to see if 2014 was a wonderful fluke or whether or not he had actually had a sustainable turn in his career by waiting until after the 2015 season at least. I was fine with the Mauer and Dozier contracts. Mauer didn't really start not being worth the money until his concussion and he got seriously underpaid for what we got before he ever got a big contract.. Dozier just had some arbitration years bought out as opposed to going year by year. No biggy.
