    You're all burying the lead story here... Why didn't scottz ask if the Twins won yet?

    The Fangraphs guys previewed the Twins and Rangers on their Effectively Wild podcast. https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/effectively-wild-episode-1192-season-preview-series-twins-and-rangers/

    I'm not sure if he knows every prospect gunning for his job. He certainly knows Nick Gordon from spring training this season. All I can think of is personal experience in sports. The senior knew I was working extremely hard as a sophomore to start over him. And vice versa. I knew the sophomore wanted to start over me when I was a senior.
  4. Vanimal46
    Well yeah. They probably liked him in a utility role getting 200-ish PAs. It's a different story playing him every day.
  5. Vanimal46
    Right. So we're supposed to feel bad for Dominicans not knowing any better because they're in poverty. What about Billy Johnson (hypothetical name) that grew up dirt poor in Taylor, Mississippi? He didn't know any better right? What about Tommy Johnson that grew up in Edina, MN and had everything handed to him on a silver platter. He definitely should know better than to take PEDs to get ahead in life.

    I guess it's possible that an Icarus situation is going on in baseball. But it's preposterous to think they let some players slide and only targeting Dominicans with the suspensions. Otherwise we have something much, much worse on our hands.

    Like Jerr, he gets zero sympathy from me. You're a professional athlete in a league with a crystal clear list of banned substances. It's his responsibility to know exactly what he's taking. Polanco was probably looking for an edge knowing Gordon, Lewis, and Javier are gunning for his spot on the team in the near future.
  8. Vanimal46
    I don't know. Are you a previously scrawny professional baseball player?
  9. Vanimal46
    Adrianza will be exposed with more PAs. A league average bat is a very rosy picture. I'm expecting Pedro Florimon type production from him. I'm way more interested in Nick Gordon seizing the opportunity and taking over at SS full-time. Throughout the offseason I've been beating the drum of trading Gordon+ for an impact SP. I don't like cheaters like Polanco. So let's trade him instead.

    High school kids destroying their bodies for the slim chance of playing college sports... Sad. really.
  11. Vanimal46
    Polanco added 20 pounds over the off-season working with this trainer... If that doesn't scream 'test me now' I don't know what does. Regardless, his size shouldn't matter. He cheated and got caught.
  12. Vanimal46
    Rules that 99% of players have no problem following.
  13. Vanimal46
    The window is open for you, Nick Gordon. Let's hope you get hot in AAA and earn a quick promotion. I'm pretty disgusted with Polanco right now. I wouldn't be opposed to trading him after his suspension is over.
  14. Vanimal46
    Given this news, I hope Gordon gets hot in AAA and usurps Polanco for the starting job going forward. Polanco really F'd up. There's no excuse for what he did.
  15. Vanimal46
    Wow. Terrible news. Very disappointed in Polanco.

    Chicken dinner tonight!

    26 pitches to get through that inning.
  20. Vanimal46
    No doubt HR off the hand of Pressly. He threw a beach ball curve.
  21. Vanimal46
    Pressly pitching himself into trouble here.

  23. Vanimal46
    Could someone please buy "cold beer and peanuts!" from that guy?
  24. Vanimal46
    Adrianza!! 2 RBI triple.
  25. Vanimal46
    I like Odorizzi's big, bending curve ball.
