    I survived Eddie Guardado. I'll be fine now.
  2. Shaitan
    this is going well
  3. Shaitan
    walks will haunt
  4. Shaitan
    What a weird stat. I feel like the hitter earns a walk and arguably HBP at least.
  5. Shaitan
    Does a steal count in "total bases"?
  6. Shaitan
    Mitch Garver agrees with you.
  7. Shaitan
    Miranda then Buxton then Castro? I predict a couple of 4 pitch innings today. It's working so far, though.
  8. Shaitan
    I'm surprised every single time Buck draws a walk.
  9. Shaitan
    That was yesterday.

    People Against Goodness And Normalcy? Oh, whoops. Guess it's Ragans.

    The fewer the players hitting the market, the higher the competition though. I'd be inclined to offer a QO based on the names above. If there are only a few starting OF out there, he should get an offer elsewhere. If he takes the QO, they overpay for one year which is manageable and they might even be able to flip him in 2025 at the deadline if need be. (Or is he a 5 and 10 player too?) BUT ask this question again in August because I want a full, consistent year first. And maybe some of the prospects step up in the meantime. In other words (and like most of the transaction discussions here at TD), it's just too early.

    Elephant in the room is the TV contract. But neither that, nor Kepler's final WAR, will be known for months.
  13. Shaitan
    From Kepler's POV, I think the question is what is next year's free agent market like? Who are the other starter level OF he'd be competing with for a contract?
  14. Shaitan
    And a couple years later this career ended with a shoulder injury. Just sayin'. But I still loved reading the piece too.
  15. Shaitan
    He's the type of player who, if added to the 40, will be the first one cut later. Save that for later in the year when he's truly needed. Not to sit on the bench and pinch run twice a week in May. Is he honestly going to give you more than Bubba Thompson, available on waivers right now for a bag of balls (or Margot)? I'm skeptical. I think he's your typical AAAA CF. There's real value in that depth, and he's worked hard and deserves his cup of coffee, but now isn't the time. Maybe next OF injury...
  16. Shaitan
    Wow, first double of the year. I'm more of a Vasquez supporter than most at TD, but that stat ain't good in late May.
  17. Shaitan
    Is gameday's pitch location accurate? It seems like both pitchers are missing the zone, or throwing down the middle. Is it as windy at TF as it is in S Mpls? I'm curious how that affects pitchers.
  18. Shaitan
    Force at every base. Now that's strategy.
  19. Shaitan
    Probably not a bad thing, based on what we're seeing.
  20. Shaitan
    Cheap Pohlands won't even pay for a bus to Cedar Rapids.
  21. Shaitan
    Surprised he's starting in AAA. I thought he might get a long rehab, almost a mini Spring Training. Eh, I guess position players don't need that as much.
  22. Shaitan
    Miranda would be Cuddyer-level bad at 2B.
  23. Shaitan
    This post must be incorrect. Clearly they lost, based on the comments.
  24. Shaitan
    Well, first Lewis has to start rehab. So much can happen before the's back in MLB. But I assume of the following, in no particular order - another IF injury occurs - Farmer is cut - Kiriloff is demoted - Miranda rotates between 3B/1B/DH The only rationale to sending Miranda down would be if they believe he can be a long-term full-time 3B (which seems counter to Lewis on the roster). I don't see it happening unless there is some secret plan to move Lewis to a new position for 2025. Miranda is proving that he can have success while not "playing every day", which is vital for his ability to be a rotational/bench player.
  25. Shaitan
    All 5 you listed are backups at their positions, so this list is hardly revealing. It would at least be helpful to see how many innings they've played at these positions to get an idea of what you're ranking.
