    I'm bought in on Duffey being the bullpen "fireman"... He's been doing really well out of the pen, and there are other starters in the organization that can pitch 5-6 innings when the need arises.

    It's officially safe enough in the game for Tonkin time!!
  3. Vanimal46
    Was that a called bunt, or Buxton's decision?

    Sigh...

    Ralph's does have pretty good groceries.... Wish they had a presence in Texas, but HEB has the state's love for grocery stores.

    That's fine. I'm not ready to wave the white flag, nor am I ready to give any ultimatums that he has to improve by April 31st or he's sent to AAA. Just want the guy to get consistent PA's and see what happens.

    Great first post! Agree with you 100%.

    Yeah his dropping the watch in the trash in order to have an excuse for looking around was really good. What I don't get, is Jimmy just did Mike a favor... When he has something as critical as a tape admitting to a criminal act, why wouldn't he have a professional like Mike retrieve the evidence instead of doing it on his own?

    I think it has more to do with Rochester getting rained out a couple of times, moving around the rotation schedule. Per the Minor League Report: "The Red Wings will kick off a three-game set at Gwinnett on Tuesday night. The starter has not yet been announced. It would appear to be David Hurlbut’s turn in the rotation, but the club could throw Jose Berrios out there on regular rest."

    Concur. He's a cheap option this season, but heading into year 2 of arbitration they need to think about if they really want to give him $5-7 MM or seek better alternatives.
  11. Vanimal46
    Frankly I don't care about his 2015, or really his 2016 seasons. They admitted to calling him up too early, and last season he was up for a month, sent down for 1.5 months, called up for 3 weeks, sent down for 1 month, etc. I care about this season... The season where he's supposed to be an everyday player getting 500 consistent PAs.
  12. Vanimal46
    500 yo-yo'd, jerked around, called up prematurely, inconsistent ABs... Still not worried. Or if it makes people feel better, let's just cut him. Dude will never figure it out. Couldn't even get D Santana for him in a trade.
  13. Vanimal46
    I just can't get behind starting to worry about Buxton 3 weeks into a season. The first 50 PA's have been very bad. Let's see if the next 50 are better.
  14. Vanimal46
    Great episode last night... We finally have Gus Fring in the picture! Also, Jimmy may be a decent lawyer, but he's a terrible private detective...
  15. Vanimal46
    The Twins are doing what I had hoped for in the off-season... Playing a primary OF of Rosario-Buxton-Kepler. My biggest gripe, and will continue to be so until it changes, is D Santana playing nearly 50% of games in the OF. I would be much happier having someone else receive that playing time whenever the main 3 need a day off.
  16. Vanimal46
    Such a weird dynamic on threads so far... It's almost like people want Buxton to be an epic failure.
  17. Vanimal46
    The running joke would be he faced Twins pitching.... But surprisingly he only has a .636 career OPS against them! The culprit is Baltimore. .393/.419/.571 in 31 PA against them...
  18. Vanimal46
    Lots on here have been saying keep unless it's a big return... Well, that's up to interpretation right? Erv Santana is not Chris Sale, so that kind of haul isn't realistic. I said earlier that if the offer is a top 100 SP prospect + a young (18-21) positional prospect or 2 would be enough to pull the trigger. What do people mean by big return?

    One of my best pranks on my older brother is bat related..... He's deathly afraid of them, and one morning I balled up some black socks, made "wings" out of some wire, opened his door and yelled "BAT!!!" while throwing it on his bed. Good times....
  20. Vanimal46
    I don't know.... But, did you hear about the guy that got hit in the head with a can of soda? He was lucky it was a soft drink....
  21. Vanimal46
    Not sure why, but I've been getting into 70's rock lately.... Finally putting artist's names to songs I've heard on the radio for a long time. Really digging Janis Joplin's music today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXV_QjenbDw

    Big fan of Soundgarden and QotSA. I've probably listened to Songs for the Deaf all the way through 15+ times. Wasn't a fan too much of their other albums they released in the mid-2000's, but they got back to their roots with ....Like Clockwork!
  23. Vanimal46
    Not until June when they draft Hunter Greene #1 overall!
  24. Vanimal46
    Putting chalk to chalkboard coming up with a solution on how to fix Byron Buxton....
  25. Vanimal46
    It may make sense to dangle him out before Jose Quintana and Yu Darvish are put on the trade block this season. That way they can set the market for how much a SP should get in return. Once the White Sox set the market for Eaton and Sale in the winter, the hot stove started to cool down.
