    The part of that era that got me the most was definitely an ownership/budget thing. When the Twins were a winning team, they hardly sent any advance scouts out. I guess that's more a Sept or post season complaint than trading deadline, but you just reminded me.
  2. Shaitan
    Give them the lead so you can get an up-close scouting report on the back end of their bullpen pre fire sale. Interesting philosophy.
  3. Shaitan
    You'd think I'd remember that. Is that the year Bo and Boggs led off with back-to-back HRs? So old.
  4. Shaitan
    This is the first time they've voted on DH, right?
  5. Shaitan
    As a complete non-expert, I think a lack of fear might be his undoing.
  6. Shaitan
    Saves. The greatest stat in baseball!
  7. Shaitan
    That one's on me.
  8. Shaitan
    Another hit and I'm not sure it matters.
  9. Shaitan
    I just tuned in. Baseball is such a weird game. Gonzalez 4/4, but with 0 runs scored. Arguably the best individual performance but...barely affecting the overall score (1 RBI, I see).
  10. Shaitan
    I'm in awe of how many free agents go to Wrigley and Fenway. The history is great, but they aren't exactly modern amenities.
  11. Shaitan
    Contracts work both ways. Was there any indication, anywhere, that Kimbrel was ever interested in Minnesota? You can offer him dumptrucks of money, but if he doesn't want to play here that's his choice. Free agency isn't an auction.
  12. Shaitan
    Aren't errors basically a part of A-level ball? The old joke being that the best place for a souvenir ball is to sit behind first base for all the throws that go into the bleachers.
  13. Shaitan
    And in a market like SD, an added purpose of his contract is likely to serve as a magnet so other free agents consider the team. It's part on-the-field expense, part marketing, part recruitment. I'd say that's mostly the case for a mid to small market team.
  14. Shaitan
    Questions I never thought I'd ask 3 months ago: Would signing Kimbrel for 2-3 years affect their ability to resign Odorizzi and/or Gibson. (Though I assume at least one of them walks.)
  15. Shaitan
    Oh, right. And Pineda, a 5th starter.
  16. Shaitan
    Everything is going right this year. June 3 and just one player on IL -- and a middle innings reliever at that? (Did I get that right, Mejia?)
  17. Shaitan
    With Buxton, it's never a true sacrifice. Any contact might mean a hit.
  18. Shaitan
    The Twins don't lead by 6. Global collapse imminent.
  19. Shaitan
    Molitor would put him right back in the closer slot. Unless they picked up Belisle, again, that is.
  20. Shaitan
    Snell is pretty close these days.
  21. Shaitan
    They have Soucheray. Every paper has a troll columnist. It's a requirement, or something.
  22. Shaitan
    Littell is already on the 40-man, so this means an open spot again, right?
  23. Shaitan
    Isn't this question backwards? When you're trying to buy, the selling is the one who sets the price.
  24. Shaitan
    And Harper pitched a perfect inning averaging about 20 mph less than that per pitch.
  25. Shaitan
    Depth is good. Competition makes good players better. Options are there for a reason.
