    Winners!

    Reed is starting to pitch pretty well in Rochester with 4 scoreless outings without issuing a walk. Granted he hasn't pitched in back to back games yet, but he's trending up. Hopefully he'll get the call soon.

    Nothing makes you feel old as dirt than talking about players born in 2001.... Good lord.

    As teenagers, it was always a race between me and my brother for the leftovers in the fridge. As brothers do, we would fight over the last slice of leftover pizza, dessert, etc.

    Sums up my thoughts perfectly. Hopefully this is the start of many All-Star seasons for Sano.
  6. Vanimal46
    I would be very disappointed too. We're on the same page trying to target at least a 2 with multiple years of control.
  7. Vanimal46
    It's been a fun read the last couple of pages with discussions on both sides of the fence. I've been leaning more toward contending now and next year by trading prospects for established pitching.... Frankly I'm tired of moving the goalposts for contention!

    Gordon would be who I dangle as a feature piece. Fill in the rest with other prospects.
  9. Vanimal46
    Well, the hot rumors are Jose Quintana, Sonny Gray, and Gerrit Cole as far as pitchers with multiple years of control. There could be more as the hot stove heats up in July. It appeared that they had other things to focus on last off-season instead of trading for established starting pitching... Trying to trade away Dozier, building up the analytics team, etc. We'll see what they do this off-season and/or in July.

    I get the frustration. But, there's nothing that's stopping this team from trading some of these players for top end pitching talent.
  11. Vanimal46
    I'd prefer the quality over quantity method this year. Marte sounds solid. Hope they can sign him to a deal.
  12. Vanimal46
    Much like drjim, I'm in the conservative camp when it comes to Gonsalves. He'll probably get the call to AAA soon enough, but whatever the FO is looking for, he must not have mastered it yet in Chattanooga.
  13. Vanimal46
    There's also the other side of the coin, which is putting a person in the wrong seat. A person may be really good as an individual contributor sales person, and the next step to challenge them is to give them a team of people to manage. That may not be the right seat for them, and the company already filled the seat that person was in before. Now they're in a tough spot. Promoting Gonsalves/Romero/Jorge right now may be putting them in the wrong seat, with no one else to fill that spot when they fail.

    Enjoy your time off the grid Tom! Nothing better than taking a couple of days off from your phone/internet to put things into perspective.

    Hmm, with this depth chart, I would try to upgrade Gibson with a better FA or trade acquisition. Santiago I guess I'd offer him another contract. Not sure what to think about May for next season. Will he be fully recovered by April? Or will he need to rehab in the minors until June/July? I'd feel comfortable with Berrios at the top of the rotation since he's trending up in his career. Erv probably shouldn't be counted on to be anything more than a #3/4 next season entering his age 35 season. The rest look like back-end of the rotation types. My hope is they make a splash for a pitcher who can slot into the top of the rotation.
  16. Vanimal46
    I wouldn't be opposed to placing Romero in the bullpen so he gets 15-20 innings of MLB experience this year. What I don't want is to head into the off-season thinking there's no need to sign quality pitchers because Romero, Jorge, and Gonsalves are all coming up soon. Ideally I'd want those guys to be options #7-9 on the depth chart. If they do well and force the Twins' hand to call them up, even better.
  17. Vanimal46
    I'm a bit jaded by the lack of success from other recent SP call-ups... And don't want to rely on prospects like Gonsalves, Romero, or Jorge having immediate success while the team is trying to contend.
  18. Vanimal46
    It sure feels like Berrios has grown a ton as a pitcher over the last calendar year. Even though it wasn't his best outing, he kept the team in the game. I'm feeling more confident he can be counted on as a top of the rotation pitcher dueling against other teams' aces. As others have mentioned, Belisle needs to go. He's been causing more damage than good things all season.

    Another thing we can bring up in this thread that could potentially make Chi's head explode: Ish vs. Ick. Discuss.
  20. Vanimal46
    I believe you spelled Forth wrong. What is it with Canadians and adding u's to everything?!
  21. Vanimal46
    Just sitting here waiting for Chi to show up... http://wac.450f.edgecastcdn.net/80450F/thefw.com/files/2012/08/Michael-Jackson-Popcorn.gif

    Wearing this tank top.
  23. Vanimal46
    Your sure about that?
  24. Vanimal46
    Nah, it's just "your" on public forums/social media.
  25. Vanimal46
    What about pitching a perfect game in your softball league? That seems nearly impossible to do!
