    Ha! Fair point.

    Even factoring in the three singles he's hit this season, LaMarre's a .119 career hitter. I love the start of a new season, but one thing I don't enjoy about it is the inevitable overreaction to hot/cold starts (they happen every freakin' year). Grossman starts the season 1 for 8 and suddenly he should be worried...about Ryan LaMarre? Come on.

    I don't really consider "but they were wrong" a great rebuttal.

    That year, Reardon finished 8th in AL Cy Young voting and 11th in AL MVP voting. If he wasn't a good pitcher in 1987, that must have been an unbelievably bad year for pitching.

    So, what's your solution to fix this supposed racism against Dominican players? Don't test them? Test them less? Give them more of a warning before there's a test? Do away with testing altogether?
  6. Dozier's Glorious Hair
    You don't know what the Twins were asking for in order to trade Dozier, so how can you even make such a claim?

    Twins Daily is easily the best Minnesota sports website I've ever seen, and the excellent moderators are a key reason for that. Thanks so much!

    Yeah, I really don't know what you're talking about in regards to the Astros, but it seems what you're trying to do is say the 13-win improvement from 2014 to 2015 shouldn't count towards Molitor's "net win" tally. Sorry, but you can't reasonably do that. If you insist on using "net wins" as a way to measure a manager's abilities, the correct number (as old nurse pointed out) is +15.
  9. Dozier's Glorious Hair
    Ignoring the Twins' record in the four seasons before Molitor took over I find ridiculous. But that's just me.
  10. Dozier's Glorious Hair
    Never look directly at it. It's like the Ark of the Covenant.

    It's the Ricky Vaughn vs. Eddie Harris conundrum. What would Lou Brown do?
  12. Dozier's Glorious Hair
    Juan Pierre had over 2,200 career hits and over 600 SB. If that's Zack Granite's future, I'll take it.
  13. Dozier's Glorious Hair
    The Twins currently have a winning record against teams not in their division. It's possible you're making too big a deal out of two losses to the Red Sox. Either that, or I'm vastly underrating the greatness of the Rays, A's, Angels, etc. Also, I seriously doubt any team is going to unload a top-shelf reliever in the middle of May, so trading Dozier now would get us, what, Matt Capps 2.0? Pass.

    In his last 20 starts, Ervin Santana has a 2.23 ERA. If he keeps it up until the trade deadline, I wonder what a contender would be willing to give up to have him.

    I like the team, and I'm excited about the season. We're 0-0 right now. Undefeated, baby! Buxton, Sano, Rosario, Kepler, and Polanco are that Puckett/Hrbek/Gaetti/Brunansky/Gagne core that's going eventually bring home a championship. They're all going to exceed expectations in 2017. E. Santana is going to be that solid sub-3.50 ERA guy we need to lead the rotation. Gibson is going to finally have his breakout year. Mejia has played his last game in AAA, and Berrios isn't far behind. Duffey, Pressly, and Rogers are all going to be beasts in the bullpen. Dozier will be an All-Star, and we're all going to complain that he wasn't voted in as a starter. Mauer and Grossman will both be on-base machines. Park is going to play like a man who has something to prove. After he has his cup o' coffee in Rochester, he's going to be a middle-of-the-order monster for us. Optimism, guys. Optimism! Get ready, Royals. In four days, your savage beatdown is coming.

    And he announced his presence with authority, thank you very much.
  18. Dozier's Glorious Hair
    Byron! We are going to win a baseball game tonight!

    The young guys on the team (Sano, Polanco, Kepler, Rosario) seem to be getting plenty of at-bats, so I assume the "benched" player is Vargas. It definitely sucks to lose him for a few weeks, but if Antony is shopping Plouffe to the contending teams right now, putting him in the lineup everyday makes sense. If he's not being shopped, then demoting Vargas obviously becomes much more difficult to defend.
  20. Dozier's Glorious Hair
    Is it really an either/or, though?
  21. Dozier's Glorious Hair
    If Mauer isn't in the starting lineup for 120+ games in 2018 (barring injury), I'd be pretty shocked. He's been the face of the franchise for well over a decade, a franchise that's loyal to a fault. I just don't see it.
  22. Dozier's Glorious Hair
    If the Twins see Polanco and Dozier both playing for the 2017 Twins, then Jorge should be getting plenty of playing time on the left side of the infield (like he is now). An occasional start at 2B isn't a big deal, but if Dozier isn't going anywhere, I don't see how playing Polanco there helps him or the team. If Mauer's getting half the starts at 1B (with Park, Vargas, and maybe Sano and Plouffe sharing the rest), I wouldn't see a problem with that (there's always DH for Joe). Bottom line for me: Mauer isn't going to be a bench player in 2017-18, so he shouldn't be sitting much in September.
  23. Dozier's Glorious Hair
    He did call for Vielma. I disagreed with him. I don't mind Suzuki, Escobar, and Plouffe having their playing time cut down. It was including Dozier and Mauer in that group that made me raise my eyebrows.
  24. Dozier's Glorious Hair
    Well, he said all those guys can sit for a month. I assumed that meant sitting on the bench.
  25. Dozier's Glorious Hair
    Whoa, if benching all those guys for the last month of the season is the truth, I'll take the lie. This was touched upon in the thread about Stephen Gonsalves, but the impatience and urge for the Twins to "do something" is causing many folks to push for things that would be severely detrimental to this team's future. Making Engelb Vielma our new everyday shortstop for the last month of the season would be bad for him, bad for the Twins, and bad for the fans who would have to endure watching this poor kid struggle to hit his weight. Letting prospects develop properly IS long-term vision, in my opinion.
