  1. "Rosario-Buxton-Hicks. Any other OF is indefensible" I think you meant to say "any other outfield is offensive and not as good defensively". Naah, maybe you did say what you wanted to say.
  2. "One option, in the event that Hicks is in right field, is to platoon him with Oswaldo Arcia" If by platooning, you mean Arcia on offense and Hicks on defense (think football), that is a fantastic idea! If you are thinking baseball, I suggest playing both of them simultaneously in right-field, so Hicks can chase every ball that Arcia misses...Buxton can cover the remainder of the outfield.
  3. For many pitchers, 100% of maximum velocity produces a loss of movement(stuff) One step on the pitchers learning curve is to determine at what velocity each of his pitches have their best movement, and then learn how to repeat that pitch / velocity.
  4. It may NOT be that "Their #5 hitter can't hit fastballs", so much as he is "sitting on" off-speed, because he is seeing it so often. I am guessing that when he starts to see more fastballs, he will begin sitting on the fastball and improve hitting fastballs and degrade his ability to hit off-speed pitches.
  5. American "Barbershop" quartets NOW bring to mind "Ice Cube and three Fooos" in the movie!
  6. Is your photo of the barbershop quartet unfocused, or have my concussion symptoms come back?
  7. "You may run like Hayes. but you hit like ****"
  8. Other guesses: John Harrington, Matt Pavelich or Buzz Schneider?
  9. "Our other big sports bragging is one of our alumni was on the 1980 hockey team. My grade school band played home on the range for him when he made an appearance at the school to sign autographs" Bill Baker?
  10. That REASON is that, on a steal of 3B, a right-handed catcher's shoulders and feet are already aligned properly to throw to 3B when he receives the pitch. A left-handed catcher's shoulders and feet must be realigned AFTER receiving the pitch resulting in a significant time loss, resulting often in a successful steal of 3B.
  11. There is one case that is evident. If a guy is FAILING in the minors, he is not ready for the majors.
  12. By MY count there are seven others, total of eight. Nikko Goodrum, Travis Harrison, Dalton Hicks, Jorge Polanco, Adam Brett Walker, Steve Wickens, and Brett Lee. (plus Kepler)
  13. Chump change! He had $800,000 in the bank when he was 16-yrs-old.
  14. The Lookouts have been playing DJ Hicks at 1B, Max Kepler in OF and Wickens at 3B in order to have Hicks play instead of Levi Michael. Hicks slumped, so he sat; Kepler moved to 1B, Levi Michael inserted in the IF and Wickens moved to LF.
  15. You have already fired Bremer, Blyleven and Achter. Am I going to have to wait in line for my unemployment check?
  16. Don't rule out Storen because he has a temper. An overwhelming majority of successful athletes have tempers.
  17. "The break occurred when Storen slammed a locker door after giving up a two-run homer" Tell your kids that locker doors and water coolers are better defensive fighters than Floyd Mayweather. And they, too, have never lost a fight!
  18. If Perkins was that good, why did the Twins get Jepsen? Because ONE MAN does not make a bullpen!
  19. If we are talking about playoffs, I think Suzuki can catch every game and still get sufficient rest because of the many playoff travel days. (game,game,travel,game,game,travel,game,game,travel,etc.)
  20. I know there are cold weather football teams, but cold weather baseball teams? Was it cold in Minnesota this summer?
  21. Don't let these guys accuse you of being a "person of interest" in the Lincoln murder.
  22. To use the coupon, he must have both procedures.
