    It's actually more of an issue with poverty and taking advantage of it, imo.

    Dominicans. It's not even close in being spread throughout Latin American players ... it's Dominicans who are being busted. In the DR steroids are legal and all one has to do is walk into any pharmacy for them. They are common place. I'm not saying that Polanco knew exactly what he was taking ... if he didn't, he should have known better; if he did, he should have known better. But until you casually throw out the race card ... and I'm not saying it's not racist ... but I'm saying you need to look further at exactly who is getting busted for this ... beyond just 'Latin American players' because it's predominately Dominicans.

    Yeah ... when do they get the results? Have they known this for several days or a couple weeks already? And just now announce it? Is that why Aybar is still here?
  4. Squirrel
    Question - how soon does the team find out about these things? I'm just wondering, given Polanco's play so far in ST, if maybe his mind was on other things, and this was it?
  5. Squirrel
    Yeah ... Chattanooga is quite a jump.
  6. Squirrel
    We have no depth at 3B ... imo. So if Sano is suspended ... not sure. Guess Esco starts there. While there is, well, depth at SS ... it's not quite ML ready. I think they'll roll with Adrianza as the starting SS and Esco will see plenty of reps there. And either Aybar or Gordon makes the team as utility. Ack. I guess we'll find out.
  7. Squirrel
    Defensively, isn't Adrianza supposed to be, uh, good? I'd guess he would be the main replacement at SS with Esco jumping in? That said, Polanco has been having a rough spring, lots of errors so far. Maybe this time off gives him time to get it together. I've never been that high on him as a full-time SS but where do you go from here at this point?
  8. Squirrel
    Not only that ... yet again ... it's someone from the DR. I'm not saying that in any kind of negative way, it's just a higher percentage of athletes from the DR that are the ones testing positive. If he needs a B12 and iron supplement, perhaps get it directly from the Twins.

    I think the writing was on the wall for some time, but especially after the Morrison signing. I always feel bad for these guys at this point because it's a long fought-for dream and I hope for Vargas it's not over yet. The one thing that makes this an 'awwww' moment for me is that he will miss out playing with the Twins when they are in PR. But, that's the reality of baseball ...

    You should take all the AA pitchers in Adopt-a-Prospect!
  11. Squirrel
    Sounds like you could use better trivia partners ... Like your report on Sano. I saw the same as you did when I was there a couple weeks ago.
  12. Squirrel
    I'm posting a plug for Adopt-a-Prospect. You can follow Romero's season here. Goulik will keep us all updated on Romero's progress.

    And I will add, as a moderator, particularly in threads where it has no bearing. Start a new thread, please, if you want to go down the TR vs Levine path instead of thread-jacking this thread.
  14. Squirrel
    Yeah, if the off season had gone differently I might have begrudgingly been okay with that eventually if we hadn’t done anything else. I just think he’s going to have a huge drop off. I’m not sure I’d have given him a guaranteed 3rd year. And I agree. I like what we ended up doing much better.
  15. Squirrel
    Wow, no way I’d have given Arrieta that. I’d have been back to ‘What are they thinking!?!?!?’ if our FO committed to him for 3 yrs.

    Round 2 is posted and will open for business Monday morning! Check it out here: http://twinsdaily.com/topic/28867-round-2-adopt-a-prospect-2018-monday-mar-12/
  17. Squirrel
    Ack!!! I'm getting political ads now ... for candidates I would never vote for ... ugh!!! So much for TD being a respite from all of that!
  18. Squirrel
    <GROAN> And of course you jumped right on that. You are nothing if not predictable. But I would have been disappointed if you didn’t.
  19. Squirrel
    You can question these things all you want; there will be those who agree with you, and those who don't. You will get those who feel as strongly about their opinions as you do yours. That's the nature of it. It's not always easy, especially if your opinion is in the minority (although on Joe, I think it's not so lopsided as say, extending Buxton, on this site). Just becuase someone has something to say opposite you, they aren't telling you you can't question it, they are rebutting your statements because they feel differently.

    Omg ... The Sting was AWESOME! I saw it several times when it first came out. Redford and Neuman ... it simply does not get better than that.
  21. Squirrel
    My only comparison is the degree I liked the whole thing, because there are other categories for all those other things. Unfortunately, I can't see every single one. Each year I say 'I'm going to see every good movie out there' and then I go months without seeing one.
  22. Squirrel
    Lol ... well, so much for listening to all your reviews ... I never saw 'Shape of Water' and I see that it won for best picture ... not sure how that is possible after seeing 'Three Billboards ...' but now I'm intrigued again but will have to wait, unless it's still in a theatre somewhere.
  23. Squirrel
    Hmm, who’s out ... Vargas? Guess they have time to make that decision since there’s an open roster spot.
