    Indians' right fielder should have been 5 feet deeper. Their mistake is our gain.

    I loved RB's #5 today. I just wonder how many drinks he had consumed before making that "clumpy" comment. And if RB would let me buy some insurance on his life to cover the possibility that this might happen again.

    I wish Schafer had known that bunt was coming. He did not get a good break.

    I wonder if this might have something to do with drafting players who have pitching motions that put stress on their elbows or with not adequately coaching pitchers about how to put less stress on their elbows?

    This was an inspiring win for the Twins, aided by some poor baseball by the Tigers.

    Burton as a closer is like the Stay Puffed Marshmallow Man in Ghostbusters.

    This game is turning out very well!

    I wonder if you are saving any level of godness for when Sano and Buxton come up.

    Or Beverly Hills. Swimmin' pools, movie stars.

    That insurance run was huge considering that Perkins is injured. A few more would be nice.

    You should visit San Francisco.

    I would guess Burton.

    We needed that strikeout.

    This article made me feel good. It's great to hear that Twins' prospects are so active in helping their communities.

    Moderator note -- this is all ultimately a matter of opinion, and if the debate gets personal then infractions will be assessed.

    Welcome Hammer. I am glad that you have started posting.

    May seems to be improving. Perhaps all we needed was some patience.

    I would pull Hughes and save his arm for next year when the games might matter a lot more. He is closing in on 195 innings and the outcome of this game seems unimportant compared with preserving his arm.

    Thanks Parker. You do an amazing job explaining things.

    What about Michael Girsch, the Cardinals' assistant GM? This interview suggests to me that he might be the best candidate. He appears to be young and smart, and as assistant GM he should know a lot about the Cardinals' formulae for success. Also, two of his children are twins. I would be pretty happy with anyone from the Cardinals' organization, except the guy in the red bird suit.

    Nick, as you have stated, a player's defense can improve, as in the case of Plouffe. My theory is that the best way to teach defense is repetition in a simulated game situation and that some players need more repetition than others. When I coached little league, we had a kid from Russia on the team. The kid had never touched a baseball and did not possess any skill whatsoever in catching a ball, even a tennis ball. We spent many hours throwing the ball then hitting the ball to this kid and a few others. By the end of the year, the kid was able to make a game winning catch. I wonder how much time Arcia spends during the off season shagging balls hit by a live hitter. If Arcia worked diligently with good coaches to improve his defense, it seems to me that he could become a solid defender. He is not slow and his arm seems strong. With enough practice in simulated game situations, it seems to me that Arcia could learn to take better routes to the ball and make better throws. Maybe what works in little league stops applying at some level? My theory is that the best way to teach defense is repetition in a simulated game situation and that some players need more repetition than others, but improvement is always possible with repetition. Am I just dreaming, or could Arcia get a lot better with an optimum training regime?

    Moderator note -- please be more respectful of each other in this thread.

    Maybe the 9th round is the lucky round? Great article.

    I really needed to read Brian's #5 today. Thanks for posting something that gave me a lift.

    Thanks, Seth. I am wondering which, if any, of these prospects has significant potential to be an ace or a #2.
