    Pulled that one out his butt. Duensing should never face righties. But yet he does.
  2. d-mac
    Great... Duensing coming in to face Cespedes. That's just asking for it.
  3. d-mac
    That and the BS video review.
  4. d-mac
    He deserved to be on the team from the start. But this is well deserved.
  5. d-mac
    Nailed it.
  6. d-mac
    Jared Burton and Dennys Reyes? After that I've got nothing.
  7. d-mac
    I'd bet against Arcia ever being a good major league hitter. His plate discipline is just too poor.
  8. d-mac
    He showed favoritism when he put Moustakas in the final vote. Yost can suck it.
  9. d-mac
    How do we know he would have gotten hurt had he been the starting catcher? No way of knowing, but by being #1 on the depth chart, vs #2 he would have been in a different situation in ST and likely would never have got hit on the back of the head by Adam F@$&ing Jones.

    Or that a sound process begets quality results. Sound processes are something sorely lacking on this team the past few years.

    File this under the "why bother?" section of roster moves. Nothing to see here.

    What the Orioles and Twins are doing to Gausman and May, respectively are fireable offenses if I was the owner of the team, IMO.
  13. d-mac
    Agreed. From the limited games I've seen him play (ST in '13 and '15 and the Royal's series) he takes professional ABs and has a solid understanding of the strikezone. That's why I'm bullish on his bat. He could turn into an absolute MONSTER at the plate in a year or two.
  14. d-mac
    I don't care about velocity so much as I do missing bats. And he can miss bats. 94 isn't enough to miss bats on it's own, so I figured he's got a good breaking ball.
  15. d-mac
    Counting stats. The only reason he does so well with RBI's and Runs, is because he plays on teams that score a ridiculous number of runs. Those stats mean nothing.
  16. d-mac
    Does he have a wipe out slider or something?
  17. d-mac
    Ummmmm, when we are debating a move that requires us to extrapolate future performance it certainly does. Past performance is never an indicator of future performance. The only reasonable way to extrapolate future performance of pitching is by expecting a regression to the mean that is determined by the process of making outs. ERA, while a great marker for past outcomes, tells us nothing about the process of making outs, thus has ZERO relavence when trying determine future performance. Just because everybody is entitled to their own opinion, it does not mean every opinion is logically sound. Nor does the previous zeitgeist around baseball for the past century, valuing things like seniority and past outcomes mean that what the Twins have done is correct or the opinions of those supporting the move of May to the bullpen are correct.

    No qualifier need on Maddon. He is the the definition of savvy.
  19. d-mac
    I think based on Peterson's 2014 in FTM he should have started the year in AA, and very well could be moving up to AAA by now had he.
  20. d-mac
    I thought Polanco was signed for his glove back when he was in the Dominican? And now he can't field? I think people's worries about his defense are a bit of an overreaction. People shouldn't be reading too much into errors in the minors. They tend to fluctuate wildly and are subject to minor league fields and minor league official scorers. For reference, Santana had a similar fielding percentage in AA.
  21. d-mac
    He has mastered AA. It's time to move him up. He's not going to slug .500. If hitting .295/.342./.402 with a strikeout percentage of 12.7% is not mastery of AA by a SS, then you have very unrealistic expectations.
  22. d-mac
    It's not like Ecobar or Santana hit better than Polonco in the minors. And Santana made more than his fair share of errors. Polanco hits for average and doesn't strike out much and gets on base at a halfway decent rate, unlike the previously mentioned. We're going to find a Troy Tulowitzki lying around somewhere. What more do people want here?
  23. d-mac
    You'd think their would be some value to doing that, wouldn't there?
  24. d-mac
    Seconded!

    When it comes to 16 year olds it's about quantity. 3 is better than one.
