    Is Sano's weight a valid concern? Yes. Am I very tired of Reusse writing about it? Also yes. It's really up to Miguel. He can be like every overweight person in America seeking assistance in losing weight. It's all about personal drive and determination. If he doesn't have the drive to be in good shape, it doesn't matter who he hires and how much he pays that person. It's not going to matter.

    The true hit king! Good luck to him in retirement.

    At the very least he's at the middle of the end... But yeah, probably the end of the end for him.

    Couldn't agree more. Round Rock Express games (Rangers AAA) are a delight to attend. The longest game I've seen was maybe 3 hours which took extra innings to finish. It's not just the pitchers in MLB that are slowing down pace. Batters contribute to the problem too by constantly stepping out of the box adjusting their gloves, helmet, etc.

    Maybe this is the performance the higher ups need to see in order to trust young players. More of this. Less of 30+ year old nobodies.

    As someone who's blindly defended Sano over the last 3 years, I'm slowly moving to your side... We're all pretty sharp baseball minds here. I envision Sano being a force at cleanup ~.275, .900 OPS with 35+ HRs. Unfortunately it doesn't appear he's willing to change his batting approach. It's going to be a damn shame if he continues to be a ~.240 batter that strikes out 40% of the time.

    Not a good sign at all if Reed is gassed by May 1st.

    Silver linings articles on May 2nd. It's going to be a long summer, isn't it?

    Eric Aybar, where are you bro? You want to come back to the team so we don't have to see a 33 year old career minor leaguer? Love, Van

    See you in 2028, Urbina.

    If Buxton and Sano bust, this core isn't good enough to win anyway. It was imperative during the rebuild that Buxton and Sano became stars. Kepler and Rosario are good, not great players. Berrios could be great. Without a true star leading the way, the rebuild led by the past regime is a bust.
  12. Vanimal46
    Doesn't sound like that's happening for another month, if not more.
  13. Vanimal46
    Better than pretending he's good to go starting once every 5 games!

    LA SS Corey Seager will miss the rest of the season to undergo Tommy John. Always sucks when fun, great young players are lost for a season.
  15. Vanimal46
    Is that a day game or night? Hope it's night so I can watch him pitch!!
  16. Vanimal46
    If that's the case, I've lost faith that they believe this is a playoff team. Teams that are serious about contending don't leave broken pitchers in their rotation for an extended period of time.

    The injury bug continues to follow Jake Reed... After 2 appearances, 3.1 IP 5:0 K/BB he was placed on the DL with shoulder impingement syndrome. https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/baseball/news/twins-jake-reed-placed-on-disabled-list/

    That's O "minor mechanical issue" for everyone playing Phil Hughes excuse Bingo... In review, we've heard that he's feeling great, to needing more time to 'ramp up', to his arm strength is almost back(!!), to 'minor mechanical issue' Amazing.
  19. Vanimal46
    Nobody wants to hear this, but I'm impressed with Green Bay's draft. They selected 2 solid CBs to solidify their defense. Of course their offense with Rodgers is going to be great again too.
  20. Vanimal46
    I get that more OL went earlier than expected. If we gave Rick truth serum they were zeroed in on Ragnow but the Lions took him at 20. However, there were still options to choose from throughout the draft that they didn't capitalize on... Hernandez would have been a fine selection at 30 instead of Hughes. Maybe Hughes ends up being the better player, that's fine. Later on in the draft one of your favorite targets, Crosby from Oregon was there for the taking. He went in the 5th round. Will the DE from Ohio State be better? I hope so. Eventually they do have to draft for need, otherwise it will continue being a need. I was really hoping to exit the draft feeling good about finding an OL that can start day 1, and another OL or 2 for depth. Instead, we have a project OT in the 2nd round, and a guard in the 6th. There's really no room for error or injuries given the players we have signed right now.
  21. Vanimal46
    I'm not going to pretend I know any of these guys beyond the first round... Overall I'm disappointed that they didn't focus on OL, clearly the team's biggest need. From what I'm reading, O'Niell in the 2nd round is a 1-2 year project. With paper thin depth as it is, can they afford to wait for a project tackle? Maybe the guard they took in the 6th round is good. I don't know. But that's it. I figured they would load up on OL with UDFAs but they didn't even do that. A lot still needs to be done IMO in order to protect our fully guaranteed contract QB.
  22. Vanimal46
    A kicker in the 5th round? So glad OL continues to be a priority for Slick Rick.
  23. Vanimal46
    Ugh...This sucks. He can't catch a break.
  24. Vanimal46
    So barring any setbacks, we're over a month away from him returning. I'll stick with the prediction May is back before Erv.
  25. Vanimal46
    Do we know where Santana is at in his rehab? For what I know it's been radio silent... I would bet that May returns before Santana at this point.
