    Heh... I'm not telling. Making a killing in Vegas, tho! (snickers, knowingly)
  2. David HK
    I'm just posting here to show that checking in to TD, on a random February day, during the Stupor Bowl, is more interesting than watching 3+ hours of ads.
  3. David HK
    5, eh? I was kind of thinking he maybe needed to lose about a 3rd-grader or so, if he's going to the outfield...
  4. David HK
    Yep. Looks like a BP jersey. Pffft.
  5. David HK
    I always liked the guy. Glad he's met with some success in Cleveland. But--- I still get a chuckle remembering this one--- ;-) http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/mlb-big-league-stew/jeff-manship-jersey-plagued-spelling-mihsap-055022148.html

    It doesn't have to be better than Plouffe's- which is no great shakes anyway. It just doesn't have to completely suck.
  7. David HK
    Just.... I mean.... THE single most glaring weakness of this team last year, and what..... Oh, hell, never mind.
  8. David HK
    Whaddya mean? It didn't take Milone as long as Ben to hit his first dinger!
  9. David HK
    Me too. Hopefully, he's also 'battling his tail off.' I've been wondering all winter so far what he's been up to- winter ball, or what. I've lost so much sleep over this... That is good news, not only on the skills front, but especially on the attitude front. I'm really pulling for him. I want opposing pitchers to sh*t themselves coming to Tar-zhay Field, and facing a murderous row of young sluggers.

    I'm just diggin' how you used Pelf as a verb...
  11. David HK
    Well, at least we got another BB Barbarosa (B. Boshers) to replace the cat from last year. (B. Boyer). Whoopee.
  12. David HK
    OK, among TD faithful, I may be in the minority, but I actually like having Milone as a #5. The season is a long grind, and you have to manage each game with that in mind. Having a slow-balling lefty one game, and a hard-throwing sinkerballer the next messes with the overall timing of the opposition. One game at a time, yeh, he's not so impressive. But IMHO, he benefits the rest of the rotation around him. '3 Nights in August,' a dissection of Tony LaRussa's Cards a few years ago, pointed this kind of thinking out eloquently. You need a change-of-pace guy like Milone through the long slog of the season. Yes, TM would probably not start a potential playoff game, but his presence over the long haul is important. I've got a Cheshire grin right now, thinking of how Berrios fastball would look to hitters the day after a Milone start...

    I didn't hear about that. So this is our guy we get cut-rate instead of Bastardo? So we return to the WalMart of free agents once again, the same place where we got Thompson and Barbarosa last year?
  14. David HK
    I didn't see that. Why the Fork would he say that? Geez, TR. Now, I spend my time schlepping a day job, not evaluating pitching 24/7, but I've seen plenty of Bastardo in games, and like the hell out of what I've seen of him. I swear, if he comes out in the spring with anything like Thompson, Boyer, or Stauffer, I'll start bleeding from my eyes.
  15. David HK
    Like a bunch of other folks, I just don't understand this either. Plouffe is nothing more than adequate at 3rd, and Park is simply going to have to DH. So why not get Poof into the OF, where he's already had experience, and not move your prize kid to an unfamiliar position at the same time he's still trying to learn to hit ML pitching? WTF, why make him do 2 tough tasks at the same time?
  16. David HK
    True. Shouldn't be surprised, it's par for the course. But dang it, I wanna be surprised for a change! It's even Xmas time, come on, TR! I'm not one of the 'fire TR' ranks, but I often question the judgement of the FO. And if we go into another spring, like last year, with a bunch of castoffs and "who's he?" dudes in the pen, I'm gonna be foaming at the mouth along with the rest. The BIGGEST, most glaring weakness of the team all year long, not addressed at the winter meetings. FFS.
  17. David HK
    I'm hoping he can pick it up. Gee, it would be good to have a one-stop update on who's doing what in winter ball. Seen a video of the big kid hitting a mammoth HR, but wonder how he's doing overall. Is Arcia playing this winter?
  18. David HK
    Yep.
  19. David HK
    I heard earlier rumblings here about pursuing Tony Sipp- I like that idea a lot. We've got good help coming up from the farm, too, it's just a question of when some of 'em will be ripe enough to be picked. Jeepers, those boys down in AZ looked durn good this fall, didn't they? I swear, though, we simply can't get to spring again with that list of pedestrians and suspects like we had in the pen last year. That was a disgrace, and the most glaring weakness in the team all year.
  20. David HK
    Aww. Chief-- I was hoping somebody would take the Abbot and Costello bait! Whaddya doing trying to be sensical? Besides, I forgot What's already on 2nd, anyway.
  21. David HK
    Heh... maybe then he can play both-- at the same time!
  22. David HK
    Heh... as it that's where they were soon working after some time with the Twins?
  23. David HK
    What?
  24. David HK
    Sheesh! Those guys are more like a D-line!
  25. David HK
    This makes me steamed, if it's truly the plan. Why in the hell take the kid, who's been playing only that position, and force him to deal with even more adjustments at the ML level? Poof has already spent time in the OF, and years in the majors. That adjustment would be far easier for him. Besides, who in blazes thinks Poof is a good 3B in the first place?!? My bet is Sano would be at least as good a defender over there, and by gum, it's a power spot! If you're keeping Poof, get him the hell out in the pasture, and get the kid at the hot corner, where he's already been playing. FFS.
