    Mauer w/ another grounder to the right-side, but that ball had eyes! 2 runs score!
  2. DrNeau
    Interesting that Mauer is wearing sunglasses while fielding, but not while hitting.
  3. DrNeau
    Murphy draws a walk, then Buxton w/ the wall-ball to left center to kick off the bottom of 5th.
  4. DrNeau
    Rosario w/ a hit in the 4th. He's 2-2.
  5. DrNeau
    Sano draws a walk.
  6. DrNeau
    Mauer getting on top of the ball... has grounded out on consecutive one-hoppers.
  7. DrNeau
    Mauer wearing sunglasses on defense but not while hitting.
  8. DrNeau
    3-2 Yankees.
  9. DrNeau
    Hicks w/ the sacrifice RBI to tie 2-2.
  10. DrNeau
    Interesting to see Hicks and Murphy share a few words at the plate during Hicks' first AB.
  11. DrNeau
    Quentin is coming north.
  12. DrNeau
    Thanks for sharing that; very useful.
  13. DrNeau
    I sure don't disagree with that!
  14. DrNeau
    Yes. The complete disaster that was 2015 aside, I do not disagree that he has been talented at the plate. In fact, I really found his swagger and flair for the dramatic to be quite refreshing. At the same time, I can not stand when he "hot dogs" simple plays. My gripes: * Not knowing how many outs there are * Not running out pop flies & grounders after batting a ball in play * Not making a full effort toward batted balls hit to him while on defense One play - which quantifies my point: http://m.mlb.com/video/v81918783/minkc-arcia-drops-moustakas-fly-ball-in-the-6th/?query=arcia+error I honestly think this behavior has set him back a lot. Effort is something that needs to be present... at an absolute minimum. If he were hitting a ton, there would be a bit more forgiveness on issues like this. He's not. It's clear that you feel differently, and obviously I understand if the Twins bring him north. If that happens, I'll root for him; same as always.

    Who said anything about 4th outfielder? I would start Kepler in RF and put Sano at 1B. Difference of opinion. Not that big of a deal.
  16. DrNeau
    1. Yes 2. No. Max Kepler.

    Oh yeah... duh. Pitchers (12) Trevor May Tyler Duffey Casey Fien Kyle Gibson Phil Hughes Kevin Jepsen Tommy Milone Ricky Nolasco Ryan O'Rourke Glen Perkins Ryan Pressly Ervin Santana Catchers (2) John Ryan Murphy Kurt Suzuki Infield (6) Brian Dozier Eduardo Escobar Joe Mauer Eduardo Nunez Byung Ho Park Trevor Plouffe Outfield (5) Byron Buxton (will be interesting to see if he even makes it) Carlos Quentin Max Kepler (praying he comes north) Eddie Rosario Miguel Sano Nunez is backup SS.

    It's always glitchy at the beginning of the year.

That being said, do you think it's a good business decision to promote players who are severely under-performing?

  22. DrNeau
    I guess this would be my crack at it: Pitchers (12) Nick Burdi Tyler Duffey Casey Fien Kyle Gibson Phil Hughes Kevin Jepsen Tommy Milone Ricky Nolasco Ryan O'Rourke Glen Perkins Ryan Pressly Ervin Santana Catchers (2) John Ryan Murphy Kurt Suzuki Infield (6) Brian Dozier Eduardo Escobar Joe Mauer Eduardo Nunez Byung Ho Park Trevor Plouffe Outfield (5) Byron Buxton (will be interesting to see if he even makes it) Carlos Quentin Max Kepler (praying he comes north) Eddie Rosario Miguel Sano Lost to Waivers: Danny Santana Oswaldo Arcia J.R. Graham (unsure of options, but Burdi has him beat as of now, IMHO) Minors: Alex Meyer Jorge Polanco (he's MLB-ready now) Kennys Vargas
  23. DrNeau
    Based on all things, and after recent cuts, this seems to be the remaining list of players. Who do you think will make the club? I put a bullet mark next to the players that are seemingly in the tightest roster battles. I've removed a few players who likely will not make the team (but noted at the bottom w/ explanations, should anyone debate the seemingly obvious cuts). Pitchers * Fernando Abad * Nick Burdi Tyler Duffey Casey Fien Kyle Gibson J.R. Graham Phil Hughes Kevin Jepsen Trevor May Tommy Milone * Ryan O'Rourke Glen Perkins Ryan Pressly Ervin Santana Ricky Nolasco Catchers * John Hicks * John Ryan Murphy Kurt Suzuki Infielders Brian Dozier Eduardo Escobar Joe Mauer Eduardo Nunez Byung Ho Park Trevor Plouffe * Jorge Polanco * Danny Santana Outfielders * Oswaldo Arcia * Byron Buxton * Max Kepler * Carlos Quentin Eddie Rosario Miguel Sano * Ryan Sweeney Notable Cuts: P - Alex Meyer (Has not demonstrated ability to play at MLB level) P - Tonkin (Has been unable to keep it together) P - Berrios (Twins would be insane to start his clock immediately) IF - Vargas (Has talent, but has not hit at all this spring)

    Rosario triples. The boys brought their bats today.
  25. DrNeau
