    Do you really believe JR Graham 'needed' to go on the DL? I'm sure his shoulder is sore. And probably all of Torii is. He has a known wrist issue and it shows. Nothing fake about it.

    They seriously need to DL Hunter. It's painful to watch right now. Something is wrong. Give him a couple weeks off.
  3. howeda7
    I still want him in the line-up over Hunter once HIcks is back.

    Kurt Sazuki's defense strikes again...
  5. howeda7
    I was going to say Pelfrey coming back. But Sazuki's resurgence makes 'doing nothing at catcher' all too likely. Torii coming back is also a big no, but at least Mollie's already showing he won't play him every day if he plays like this.

    Anybody? I see someone here has David Kahn as their avatar. Maybe baseball is his sport. It would explain a lot...

    It's so painful watching Hunter play now. Who else is at AAA than can be called up? Can we just call up Kepler now?
  8. howeda7
    WTF, Eduardo?
  9. howeda7
    Hunter had a decent AB and Kurt Klutch comes through. We're comin' now....

    Pinto is a not a viable every day catcher, IMO. They've never like his defense and he's probably one concussion away from never catching again. At most I see him in a bench roll in 2016 playing 3 days a week, 2 at DH in a platoon with Arcia and 1 at catcher.

    Tonkin's been awful. Jespen and May get the 8th/9th in some order. Outside of that, prayer.
  12. howeda7
    I'm open to FA's, but AJ as a full-time catcher for 2016? No chance. Ianetta's the best option, but I assume the Angels will keep him. Weiters is risky and probably too expensive for said risk. Avila can't hit. It's slim pickings. A trade is the way to go, IMO.
  13. howeda7
    Yes, I'm sure multiple contenders are clamoring for a 41 year-old who's hit .150 over the past 6 weeks and is poor on defense...

    The Hughes extension was totally unnecessary. I didn't hate it that much at the time, and still don't. But it was done at least a year earlier than needed.
  15. howeda7
    I'd agree if I didn't fear a Tim Brewster-esque replacement. We know one thing, he'll never be fired. He'll retire when he's ready or he's embarrassed into it.
  16. howeda7
    Nah. He needs AAA seasoning. Torii and Robinson are FINE.
  17. howeda7
    Bernardino said he had a wrist issue they were 'keeping an eye on' on Friday. It could well be legit.
  18. howeda7
    OK, Harry. Don't over-analyze it. The point is a bobble there happens. It's not in the top 5 reasons the Twins lost this game.
  19. howeda7
    A little. But he's young. And the realistic FA targets aren't good.
  20. howeda7
    Shop him on August 17th? That's not how this works. But it is concerning. Nothing to be done about it at the moment.
  21. howeda7
    This has been speculated about in pieces already: Acquiring Derek Norris and somehow swapping Nolasco for Shields. So would Plouffe, Polanco, Milone Suzuki and Nolasco be enough to get it done? If not, you could swap Duffey for Milone. Plouffe's value isn't that much worse than Norris. Obviously a catcher is worth more, but Plouffe is a more proven offensive player. Norris also has one more year of control. Still, Polanco seems like enough to make up the gap. Suzuki is a take or leave toss in if they want him. Likewise, Shields for Nolasco is not an even trade, but SD is getting rid of more $$. Milone makes up the difference.
  22. howeda7
    I'm not sure how manufactured it would be. He had a sore wrist the other night and has one hit in a week and a half. Probably not a coincidence.
  23. howeda7
    It was a dumb play to throw to 1st but the game was over either way. The bobble on a hot smash happens. Blaming this game on Nunez is like complaining about which song the band was playing on the Titanic. FWIW, if he doesn't break the starters nose, I think we lose 7-4 or so.
  24. howeda7
    I won't lose sleep if they lose Robinson. But if Buxton's up here, I want him to play. They won't sit Hunter multiple days in a row. Just DL him. It's better all the way around.
  25. howeda7
    That's your take away from this game? Lol. Brilliant.
