    There's one available this winter! Marwin Gonzalez plays all over the field in Houston and one year removed from a .907 OPS season... I'd advocate for him over Grossman on the bench any day. Probably Adrianza too.

    MOAR bullpenning for the bullpenning Brew Crew.

    Not so fast!

    DJ Johnson for the Rockies has a Buddy Boshers-like career. 29 years old, couple of stints in the independent league, gets a shot late in the season. Now look at him! Pitching in the NLDS.

    Didn't know the Brewers have a "one of us" managing their team. The more you know...

    Blackmon's beard.... Majestic.

    I'm anti-bullpenning

    Instead of cheering for teams, I'm now rooting for teams that do not go with a bullpen game. Sorry Milwaukee, you're dead to me tonight.

    Barry Zito still pitches in the major leagues?!

    I would do nothing contract wise for all 3. Berrios has 4 more years of control left, and 4 more years to potentially get injured. Odorizzi is a fine back end of the rotation starter. Should be replaceable by an internal or external pitcher for a reasonable price. Gibson will be 31 in a couple of weeks, and given his roller coaster career, I need to see it one more season to be a Gibby believer. It's not like he's going to be a $20 million AAV pitcher if he maintains his level of play next season. The Twins can afford to gamble. The premium won't be that much if he is awesome next season.

    Thank you Chief. Couldn't agree more. There always seems to be a "woe is me" mentality around discussions with this team. Can't take risks with big money players, because what if they become a sunk cost? Can't even think about the possibility of letting a prospect go because of a fantasy that they'll be a future star. It's exhausting.

    This year certainly it was about Buxton not being here. 71 out of his 105 starts were in the OF. Last year he was more of a DH - starting 61 out of his 106 at that spot.

    Luke Voit... 27 year old AAAA player finding the right situation. That being Yankee stadium's short RF porch. Now on a string of the best ~150 ABs of his life. 1 HR every 10 AB pace. Baseball is so random.

    Fernando Rodney Experience on the way!
  15. Vanimal46
    Thank goodness Trivino is going to come out of this game unscathed without having to pitch to the top of the order 3 times.
  16. Vanimal46
    Whaaat?! Shocked! Shocked I tell ya.
  17. Vanimal46
    Use some of those funds to pick up this kid. Why not?
  18. Vanimal46
    He's started 65% of games each of the last 2 seasons. Is that considered a bench role these days?
  19. Vanimal46
    Falvine let Dougie baseball walk last year so that's a hard no. Ozzie hasn't managed an MLB game in 6 years.
  20. Vanimal46
    No doubt about it. That's their prerogative to do so. This firing feels different IMO. At the time when Gardy was fired I think we were all tired of him and ready to move on. There are some who were ready to move on from Molitor too, but I bet if we polled casual fans they would view this as a head scratcher... It can be argued he did better this year than last year given the circumstances... Regardless, we're all living in Falvine's World now. Hope they find what they're looking for to turn around this organization quickly.

    https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2797369-cubs-swag-king-javier-baez-can-be-mlbs-best-weapon-to-win-back-young-fans A good, lengthy read about Javier Baez not playing by unwritten rules.
  22. Vanimal46
    I'd rather see anyone else new than Grossman next year. We've seen the last 3 years what he can bring to the table; which is barely above replacement level contributions.
  23. Vanimal46
    Take it with a grain of salt! I just happened to be listening at the time and those were my takeaways from what he said.
  24. Vanimal46
    LEN 3 on KFAN right now. His speculations... Molitor was blindsided from the news. Molitor taking another role with the Twins is corporate speak and can't see it happening. Candidate names he tossed out: Mark DeRosa, Grandpa David Ross And also talks about the thing we tend to forget about... Molitor was open and willing to work with this pair. Embracing the coaching staff they picked, analytical approaches, and the opener concept.
  25. Vanimal46
    Thought provoking posts? I think that's going to raise a red flag in HR when they read that...
