    Pining for the fjords?

    There's the true outcomes cycle for Sano. The fielders should just take a nap or pick daisies when he's up (like the outfielders on my little league teams always seemed to want to do.)

    You can still watch it. It might not do much.

    The Twins certainly had the minor league talent available to top the winning bid for Tulo, without gutting the system. There was no Reyes on the roster to send back, but I'm pretty sure that was more about dumping salary and creating roster space for the Jays than creating value for the Rockies. Including Reyes probably increased the level of prospects required.

    I see his name is going to be fun if he sticks around. Not as much fun as Hu's (on first), but then nobody's is.

    Torii Hunter is barely above replacement level, and I wouldn't call Rosario of Hicks "premier" either. It's time for Hunter to earn the mentorship part of the contract. There is nobody in the Twins' system who should stand in the way of playing time for Buxton.

    With Vargas it's easy to explain - when he was born he was so big his mother said "It feels like there are two of him". (One of our kids was like that) I don't know anything about Ramirez - maybe he had a talent for making a mess in two rooms at the same time. ("Honey, the Williams were at it again.") (At least one of our kids was like that, too.)

    Dozier is also batting .248, and he's an all-star. You might want to add something further.

    Beltre' HOF?

    gil4 replied to Doubles's topic in Other Baseball

    That keeps him out of the fantasy HOF, but I still think he gets in the real one.

    A transition time is normal. Neither has been given enough opportunity to say they won't make the transition.

    I'm sure it's worth more than my guessing. I know some have mentioned that it doesn't take into account the skill level of the pitcher or hitter, but I don't think any of the parties involved were far enough from average skew the numbers too badly I saw somewhere in the thread that the odds of scoring exactly two runs went up by bunting, but that still means they have to outscore the Jays while having one less time at bat, and as a result the win probability dropped after the successful bunt (FWIW, also probably not much). The main problem was being down two going to the 9th, which means no strategy is particularly likely to be successful. It would be nice to maximize the possibility, but the differences between the strategies are miniscule compared to the differences of allowing that lead in the first place. The real cure - pitch better and hit better.

    The good news is Buxton likely to start his rehab assignment on Friday.
  13. gil4
    OK, I can see that. You still have to get that hit in the first two tries or you are depending on a wild pitch or another hit, plus you leave the double play on the table, so you might use up two of your three chances on one swing. I'm not sure I can calculate the percentages, but there can't be much to choose from either way.

    Danny Santana is on both lists. Vargas and Arcia are on the banished list (and probably deserve it). Suzuki and Duensing are on the pet list. It's hard to tell where Molitor's list ends and Ryan's starts, and I really don't have major complaints about the roster handling this year. There were a couple of times I thought they were slow to pull the plug, but I think this is about the year we expected.
  15. gil4
    No bunt means you need two hits or an extra-base hit.

    This sounds like knocking already: .330 / .412 / .540 / .952 (82 games at Chattanooga) (Edit - couldn't get the full stat line to post right)
  17. gil4
    Not as bad as I thought based on the headline. Two schedule off days plus one rain-out means 'swept" was only 3 games.
  18. gil4
    We had RISP?
  19. gil4
    Probably just prolonging the inevitable
  20. gil4
    I was really hoping for another wild pitch there, but that works too.
  21. gil4
    This time you're going to have to repeat yourself.
  22. gil4
    You don't have to repeat yourself. I heard you fine the first time.

    I'm not sure what Mr. Beauchamp's proposal was, but if it involved banning or shooting, I'm in favor. And yes, dinger is on the list (right at the top). Someone's going to have to change his name to "Pardon My :shoot: "

    This poll is like the schools these days - so little is required to get a B.
  25. gil4
    I agree. On the other hand, the Hu's on first jokes probably bring more value than anything Jepsen will do, unless he changes his name to George and names his kids Elroy and Judy.
