    I'm not sure how much of the issue was motivation and how much was health. Having a rod put in your leg isn't a minor deal. For guys who tend to get big easily, leg injuries can compound that, plus pain in the legs can cause balance issues at the plate. Was the assignment to Ft Myers motivation or just an opportunity to get heathy and get back in shape without MLB pressure every day?

    Those numbers in the right column won't stay still long enough to read them.

    That might have been more of an issue in Rochester

    It's definitely concerning. Is it just a slump, is something wrong or has the league figured out his smoke and mirrors?

    I like Escobar. Still need infielder, unless w are going to a really radical shift philosophy next year. I'd be glad to have him back. Realistically, the Twins will make their list of priorities and Esco's agent will collect offers. The adds for resigning him are about 1 in 30.

    It probably wouldn't be much, but if he went on a hot streak and a few other things fell into place, there was a shot the Twins could give the Indians a bit of competition. That could have made a bit of an impact and had some goodwill carry over to next year.

    I will bet a good chunk of money on the under. That's 26 HR per year, and I would bet the under if 26 was line for his single-season high for his career. He's having a pretty good year this year, and he has 3 HR. I see his upside as adequate 4th OF.

    I would add that winning a few more games would get a few more fans to the park and generate a little more revenue which could be used to improve the team next year. I know, Pohlad, etc., whatever. I'm pretty sure he has seen the ledger for both winning and losing and the good side of the books look better when the team wins. Giving up on the rest of the season is not revenue-neutral.

    I was about to write that with the limited return we got for Dozier, I would have kept him for two months and hoped for a miracle - Dozier goes on a tear, Sano turns back into an all-star, Polanco gets back to where he was before the suspension, the duct tape holds in the bullpen, Buxton gets healthy starts hitting. With all the disappointment this season, it's easy to forget there was a lot to like about the lineup at the end of last year. I'd be happy to get stomped again in the playoffs this year.

    I'm on page 1 of 6, so this might have been the topic of discussion for 5 pages and I don't know it, but I would say doing that at age 19 or 20 instead of 22 (or doing it in AA at 22.) He was a 19th round pick last year and he's older that the league average. The good news is he's the throw-in on the deal and, while he has some catching up to do, he sure has been hitting so far.

    We seem to have plenty of other options they will find acceptable.
  13. gil4
    It didn't appear that it was handed to them. Both had minor league track records that were superior to Rosario, and Sano had a Sep call-up that gave him the inside track the following year. I'm not sure what happened, but putting high expectations on them fairly early seemed rational to me.

    I'm not ready, either, but the clock is definitely ticking.

    Belisle's spot would be first in line for that purpose, and I'm not sure we have enough useful arms to rotate two roster spots.
  16. gil4
    Given the results of his pitching, that looks like reasonable attire. Belisle might want to consider that as well
  17. gil4
    If he hits anywhere near like he did for the second half of last year, he could be.
  18. gil4
    Honorable mention? That should be #1. That "very good" team is on pace to go 51-111.
  19. gil4
    Cave and Grossman are deck chairs. Sano and Buxton striking out constantly are the iceberg. That said, the old deck chair is getting pretty worn and a new one might make the journey to the depths a bit more bearable.
  20. gil4
    Yeah, but I'm not sure he's a good clubhouse influence. Is Hanley Ramirez still available?
  21. gil4
    Waiting for Larnach to sign? (Speculation was he would sign below slot, but he's still playing in the CWS.)

    Sadly, our annual one and done in NY is in grave danger due to Molitor's golf schedule.
  23. gil4
    At first glance I read that as Molitor will be DFA'd, and my thought was I like the idea, I don't think that's how it works, and what does Polanco have to do with it? The second glance made more sense but was a lot less interesting.
  24. gil4
    1. Molitor hasn't seen your charts. 2. Pressly's arm hasn't fallen off yet. That's all I have.
  25. gil4
    So now that he's back in low-A, where isheon our prospects list?
