    Vasquez is doing exactly what he was signed for imho.

    I see, repeatedly, on their site that I can't bring in a laptop bag. But can I bring a laptop? (For after the game, just to clarify.) Apparently they have lockers, but I'm not sure I want to go that route.

    I've always liked Robertson as a pitcher, but I wouldn't pay him that with his injury history. Trade deadline is where you acquire bullpen arms. It's such a fickle role that you strike for who is hot now and not on a long-term contract. Plus they're usually available for lesser prospects. But I appreciate the angle of this article for sure. Asking "what would have happened" is pointless. Show us what is happening.

    Love seeing Varland deal at home. It feels like the Twins have had a lot of successful homegrown stories.

    Is it accurate to say they "dumped" him though? They traded him for other assets. Then SD traded him. Then KC dumped him. If the Twins had resigned him again in the offseason all the commentary would have been "getting the band back together/we have too many corner outfielders already." Nobody is saying they're happy that Rooker isn't a Twin. They're saying they're happy that his career seems to finally be working out for him. It's a tough business. If you're mad, imagine how they must feel in KC.

    Nah, by then TD will be calling for Correa to be traded because there's too much depth again.

    Castro's role is backup SS. Farmer takes that when he's back. I'd say it comes down to the coaches. If they think Miranda's struggles can only be overcome at the MLB level, we get to watch him face that challenge. If he just needs a reset, AAA makes sense.

    I wonder if one injury is causing the other (overcompensation). Fingers crossed that it's that it's relatively short-term.

    I wouldn't place much weight to the court of comments sections and message boards. That's a (loud) fraction of the general population. Andrew Yang was a population presidential candidate, according to Twitter, after all. Because, as you nailed it:

    And in 12 months we'll be having this same discussion about Paddack. It seems to come with this surgery. But most players do eventually come back to their previous levels, unless they're a Liriano-type where it was (likely) his delivery that caused both his success and initial injury.

    Even Joe Nathan lost the closer's role after TJ. Recovery takes time. And it's about more than joints and muscles and conditioning. That said, Maeda has left every game with the trainer, to paraphrase the radio team. That's a problem. I think it's logical to IL him, then let him rebuild with shorter appearances. They have the depth now. Use it.

    Moran has had a few chances to earn his spot now, and he's not taking advantage.
  13. Shaitan
    Good point. If Farmer had just trained harder, that ball would have bounced off his face for a double.
  14. Shaitan
    Thanks for looking it up. I swear they keep changing it or...I'm just getting old. Or both.
  15. Shaitan
    I thought they moved it back to a 15-day DL for non-concussions. Or is it back to 10? (Sigh. MLB rules didn't used to change every year.)
  16. Shaitan
    I'd argue that you have to be on the 40-roster to be a shuttle candidate. Otherwise, you're probably one-and-done.
  17. Shaitan
    Moran and some others are questionable contributors at this time, but if they keep getting "quality starts" the bullpen sorts itself out and you can use relievers in their best roles. It's short starts and blowouts that throw it all off-cycle.
  18. Shaitan
    HOU sure strikes out a lot.
  19. Shaitan
    Based on the headline, it seems you encourage the negativity.
  20. Shaitan
    Aren't rotations and timesharing pretty standard on A-ball rosters?
  21. Shaitan
    Even if Gallo crashes back to earth...he's basically Sano with + defense. I'm curious to see how this year goes.
  22. Shaitan
    The win is okay, I guess. But the #9 hitter should've gone 7-for-7.
  23. Shaitan
    lol at people complaining about short starts on Opening Day. A lot has changed in baseball, but it's March. Pitchers aren't ramped up yet. And it's been that way for most of my 40+ years on this planet.
  24. Shaitan
    Trade to the Mets or Giants?
