    You can't always get what you want.

    Falvine have been around enough to know that the idea behind a trade is either to win it all within a year or to improve the overall state of the organization. In the case of the former you usually sacrifice the latter, and vice versa. This team has overachieved. Houston and the Dodgers are both head and shoulders above us and pretty much everyone else, and they will almost certainly try to make a couple moves to go for broke this season. Trying to win big this year would be a very poor gamble. I'd be way more inclined to listen to offers for our veterans than to make offers for other teams' veterans. And don't try to bring up the 1987 Twins as an example of what could happen. I was beyond delirious about that team, but there has probably never been a less deserving or more fortunate team to become World Champions. Under today's format that team would not have even made the postseason. Moreover, the rotating home field advantage format favored the Twins both in the AL postseason (just one round, not three counting the wild card game) and the WS. That type of thing will almost certainly never happen again. I'm not saying sell, but I am saying don't buy.

    Based on that play maybe Rosario should be the one to trade.
  4. spinowner
    He's scheduled for next Sunday against Houston
  5. spinowner
    Well, he has played first in the past. Has he played there since he came up to the Twins? I don't recall that happening.

    This was posted while I wrote. Great minds think alike.

    He's done well so far, all right. But I know we don't need 5 outfielders. (This counts Grossman as an outfielder.) Rosario has the highest BA on the team. Grossman has the highest OBP on the team. Buxton's defense and improving offense. Kepler's overall value. Is it time to trade one of them away?

    Move away from the shoes!

    I suppose all this good run scoring has a dark side. It means Gibson's leash for this game may have been lengthened.
  10. spinowner
    That run scored by Vargas suits his baserunning well.
  11. spinowner
    Just turned the game on. WTF?

    After the break: Berrios Santana Mejia Gibson Santiago I would not give consecutive starts to the lefties. I think it's better to make the opposition change their approach from game to game. I would not expect this rotation to last for the rest of the season. Days off, injuries, poor performance, and other factors are certain to come into play but this is how I would proceed beginning on Friday.

    This is a very low risk signing. And I don't think it's out of desperation, which, as most of us know, is Reusse's take. My guess is that Falvine are hoping he'll be available for a spot start or two, especially after Sept. 1. If so they'd have to find room for him on the 40-man but if he doesn't show us enough in Rochester then we congratulate him on a great career and wish him luck in retirement.

    As of this morning the Astros are on a pace to win 110 games. And as of this morning the other 4 teams in the AL West are a collective one game under .500 in games outside the division, indicating that the Astros are not "padding out their record" against inferior opposition. It seems obvious to me that the Astros are head and shoulders above the rest of MLB with the exception of the Dodgers.

    Except tomorrow's game time is 1:10 PM CDT.

    Winnaaaaaaaaaaaah!

    Wheels!!!!!

    Great close and late hit by Buck!

    I don't know, the humidity makes it more oppressive. Reminds me of a story... When Miami was chosen as an expansion site for the NHL talk turned to what the name of the team should be. One suggestion was the Miami Humidity. That way if a game is on and someone asked if it was the Heat the reply could be no, it's not the Heat, it's the Humidity.

    You live in hell?

    Great inning. Starts with a ball hit one foot away from being a home run and ends with three outs on three batters.
  22. spinowner
    OK boys, no reason to let up. Apply the boot to the throat.
  23. spinowner
    !
  24. spinowner
    OK boys, keep stringing them together. Don't let up.

    I just added another name to my ignore list.
