    If tobi meant 6 per year, maybe. Even that is light.

    Dozier at leadoff has never really made sense. But for some reason he prefers being in that spot, and Molitor has obliged with his request for the last 1.5+ years. I would think he's better suited in front or behind Sano in the lineup.
  3. Vanimal46
    I'm sure they like his bat this season, but yes... I'm assuming he is being moved around now (LF, DH, maybe 1B a little bit?) because there are real concerns about him sticking at C at the MLB level.

    Hmm, that's a tough spot. The Twins could try to re-sign Kintzler in the off-season either way. But if the return is essentially a non-prospect, not sure if it's worth the hassle.

    I'm getting really tired of Pressly....

    Kintzler will almost certainly be traded today. I could see Belisle getting traded in August. Ervin I'll put at 15% chance he's traded today. Dozier 0.5%. I just don't see any team that needs a 2B.
  7. Vanimal46
    I guess I don't mind this trade considering Garcia is a big injury risk to resign this off-season.

    Unfortunately having a girlfriend takes up more time than I thought!

    It may or may not be game show themed tomorrow!

    These are questions about life WE ALL deserve the answer to. I would imagine if you unpack action, you're going to get some sort of injury in the process. Also, where did the phrase action packed come from?
  11. Vanimal46
    No forks allowed! Well, unless we talk about state fair food...

    Shameless plug: Get ready for an ACTION PACKED trade deadline game threaddin' weekend with me! It's gonna be fun.....

    Huh? Hicks was traded by the regime who was fired. Falvey and Levine cleaned up that mess and got what they could... Have you checked out the 1st overall pick in the rule 5 draft's stats? 6.82 ERA and 6.35 FIP in 30 innings. The rule 5 draft is much ado about nothing these days.

    Should be an interesting QB battle post-Leidner. Kind of hoping for a freshman to take the reigns this year. No idea if this is going to be a rebuilding year or if they can potentially contend for a division title.

    Everyone has their vices... Whether it's sports, politics, singing competitions, etc. there needs to be balance and perspective. I'm a believer that entertainment shouldn't affect your mood and how we treat people in daily life. And we all need to remember sports is entertainment.

    Thank you for saying this.

    I assume Moya also gets added to the 40 this off-season and potentially takes the place of a known name we've followed the last 2-3 years. My prediction? JT Chargois gets the DFA.
  18. Vanimal46
    Good luck to JRM. It's baffling how he went from a decent hitting C for the Yankees to not being able to hit at all, even in AAA. Next year he was out of options anyway, so I like the move to clear space for Garver.
  19. Vanimal46
    Who are you selling? And who's going to offer value for what the Twins are offering?
  20. Vanimal46
    If that's the case, then yeah, that's way too long between pitches. It seems like every year MLB tries to emphasize improving pace of play, but never truly enforce it. EDIT: Also, at first I didn't see Maeda on the Fangraphs' Pace list, but there he is tucked in at #20 with 25 seconds between pitches. So he also works at a slow pace normally.
  21. Vanimal46
    Concur 100% with implementing pitch clocks. It works out so smoothly in AAA and AA from the games I've attended. Admittedly I did not watch the game last night as it was past my bedtime, so maybe Maeda was working slower than usual? Fangraphs has a neat feature called Pace Calculator and I hate to break it to everyone, but Maeda is not close to the worst out there.... In fact, the Twins now have 3 pitchers in the top 25 slowest paced SP! Jaime Garcia #12 at 25.7 seconds between pitches, Kyle Gibson #14 at 25.4 seconds, and Jose Berrios #23 at 24.8 seconds.

    2 days in a row doing a "Failed (insert something here) Playlist" and it worked!

    JRM would be ideal. Since he's out of options next year and they have to make a decision on him. I doubt the Braves want to take on that decision though.
  25. Vanimal46
    Maybe it's Rortveldt? Or however it's spelled.
