    San Diego is awesome, though I prefer Coeur D Alene, Carmel and Portland (for different reasons).

    Pujols was an awesome player. One of my favorites.
  3. jimmer
    They are pitching as if it was already 2 months in.

    I think we all hope for nothing but the best for him since he has inexplicably been put back in the rotation. One can look at how he's done for us so far and say, um, he's done pretty poorly. Oh, and I'm of the opinion that moving May to the bullpen instead of, say, Pelfrey could very well have ended up being the difference between making that playoffs and not.

    In the 5 games Nolasco 'won' , the Twins offense scored 5, 6, 6, 8 and 7 runs. He went 6 or more innings in only one of those games.
  6. jimmer
    Nolasco was 17th in the NL for IP in 2013, not 2nd, and his ERA- was 101. So, 1 percent below league average. In the NL.

    I'm not sure that this team has the quality of players where one could have such high expectations they would be considered busts if they perform poorly. Sano has high expectations. Some have high expectations for Buxton for this year. Maybe Gibson? Hear a lot of people talking about him taking the next step.
  8. jimmer
    exactly.
  9. jimmer
    You're not terrible at expressing yourself. Your point was clear.
  10. jimmer
    We need DH insurance like we need more boringly average-below average starting pitchers.
  11. jimmer
    Last season. That's it. Done deal. Decision was made last year when we pushed him to the pen to ensure Pelfrey had a spot.

    Jeff Sullivan did a chat at Fangraphs today. In the chat, this was brought up by our own Mike Sixel (forgive me if he's mentioned this already). Mike Sixel: 'Will Buxton hit much this year? I admit, I am beginning to wonder if Cameron’s bearish view of that tool is true…….' Jeff Sullivan: 'I’m presently unconvinced Buxton’s ever really going to hit past .260. That would make him out to be a disappointment. But it would also make him out to be underrated, given his expected running and defense.'

    Risk aversion is the name of the game. Might lose a mediocre pitcher or two from our underwhelming rotation depth. :-)
  14. jimmer
    We don't know for sure May is going to be thrust into high leverage situations. Ryan hinted at long reliever when the decision was made. Last year, he had a hair over 100 plate appearances that were high leverage and some of that had to be as a starter, right?
  15. jimmer
    wouldn't he have known those numbers and seen that performance before he declared, when the offseason started, that improving the pen was the team's #1 offseason priority? I will agree money stopped him from bothering to improve the pen from the FA pool.
  16. jimmer
    98 innings isn't a starting gig, and he's 40-50 pounds lighter than our new RF. Schwarber played 30% of his minor league innings played on the OF. Cabrera playing the OF was not a good thing. Sano has played zero at any level of professional ball and is 6 foot 5, 260+. I'd need solid proof Maddon would consider him for a full time OF job. Anyway, there was no 3B battle, so probably not worth talking about on this thread.

    There were 28 third basemen that had 400 or more PAs last year. Plouffe was tied for 15th in WAR. 2014 there were 31 third basemen that had 400 or more PAs last year. Plouffe was tied for 9th. And he was 2nd (to Dozier) for the Twins in WAR in each of the last two seasons in regards to non-pitchers. He's a good player. Not a stud, but a good player. We have way more problems than him.
  18. jimmer
    Twins are always thinking about the future. Santana and Hunter pointed that out in 2007. It's always about the future with Ryan.
  19. jimmer
    Quality depth in the way of #3-#5 type pitchers. No #1 or #2 type in the rotation. The two who could be those guys, one is now a bullpen guy, the other goes to AAA. The only reason May needs to be in the pen is because Ryan did jack to improve the bullpen, the self-admitted #1 priority this offseason.
  20. jimmer
    'The offseason was spent assuming that the Twins would trade Trevor Plouffe to open up third base for Miguel Sano.' I never assumed Plouffe would be traded. Good overall player at a low price and pretty unappreciated as a whole.
  21. jimmer
    His stats were perfectly nice when he got demoted, and he's a bullpen guy now. And let's not forget, it's been, what, less than 10 innings so far?
  22. jimmer
    He was making a strong case before supposedly losing the competition. He has no case to make for himself now. The case is closed.
  23. jimmer
    and the choice of getting Parks necessitated having to either move Plouffe in a trade or move Sano to the OF. They created the situation where they had no choice.
  24. jimmer
    Along with Alex Meyer.
  25. jimmer
    My ok meant, ok. I've given the info I thought was relevant and that's that. People will have to get out of it what they want. Disclaimer: Yankee home BABIP is 28th out of 30 and their opponents 25th. Noise it is.
