  1. "25-year-old's weaknesses still being exposed despite facing inferior talent" "Facing inferior talent" probably doesn't make fielding any easier.
  2. I disagree with your disagreement. 200 innings from a SP is 200 innings of rest for a bullpen which has been coughing up blood after the ALL-Star-Game each season. If your starters all go seven innings per start (approx. 200 innings per season), your entire bullpen has a much better chance to each produce "60 strategically placed innings of dominance".
  3. Updated Summary of Twins Transactions and Rumors for Days 1 & 2 Wait for it..................................
  4. "Overall, Twins bullpens over the past 4-5 years have turned in entirely predictable performances, so there's that. I'd love to add an "unpredictable" reliever like Tony Sipp, Darren O'Day, etc. for a change" I agree. If I were to argue against that, I would have to slap myself. But I'd like to keep Rogers as a SP and pick up two FA LH relievers.
  5. Never said that. How about ONE LH starting pitcher?. Milone has been removed from the rotation on this blog repeatedly.
  6. Neither Dean, nor Darnell were even listed in the top 100 Twins prospects in the "BA 2015 Prospect Handbook". I admit that doesn't guarantee anything, (I coached Matt Duffy in HS and Pony League) BUT it does IMPLY something.
  7. Jason Wheeler's best tool was his ability to exist at AA.
  8. Is that a definite "could"? Either Burdi, Reed, Chargois, Graham, Jones and Hildenberger COULD be legit MLP RP's. But NONE of them can be LH SP's. and Rogers COULD be THAT guy.
  9. That is ridiculous. Obviously no signing (reliever or otherwise) guarantees anything, but it can give you much better odds. If you are saying that relievers' performance is NOT more unpredictable than other positions, you are disagreeing with common knowledge. Too unpredictable or NOT TOO unpredictable is a valid argument. Relative unpredictability compared to other positions is no argument at all. Seth is likely just repeating what the great majority of baseball people say repeatedly.
  10. The Twins LH starting pitchers are Milone in MLB, Rogers a prospect at at AAA, and then drops to Gonsalves and Thorpe who are prospects in A-Ball. They NEED LH starting pitcher prospects, so Rogers is necessary as a starter and unnecessary as a reliever.
  11. IMO - The plan for Trevor May should be to keep him as 7th-8th inning reliever until several of the "currently too young" reliever prospects become MLB-ready. By then, hopefully Nolasco and Hughes will be gone, and May can go back into the rotation. IMO - when Nolasco/Hughes are replaced by Berrios/May is when the Twins become SERIOUS contenders with a rotation of Santana, Duffey, Berrios, May, and Gibson.
  12. Santana playing CF was a success. Santana playing SS was the disaster!
  13. No you are NOT crazy. Yes, I would trade Nolasco for Shields straight up. If I were the Padres, Would I trade Shields for Nolasco straight up? You ARE @#$%@#$%@#$% crazy!!! You must think that I am @#$%@#$%@#$% crazy!!! I'd RATHER trade San Diego winters for Minnesota winters! AIN'T NO BLEEPING WAY!
  14. “Don’t sell yourself short Judge, you’re a tremendous slouch.”— Ty Webb..Caddyshack
  15. Why are you so determined to chase a harmless old man out of his only job?
  16. I have listed all the Twins rumors and transactions below. Wait for it.....................
  17. Was Joe Montanaroseannadanna a good QB?
  18. Is she also related to Carlos, Ervin and Dannadanna Santanaroseannadanna?
  19. If my memory still functions, I believe that relievers become cheaper as Opening Day approaches, and it becomes a buyer's market.
  20. "That puts us an automatic second" I agree with everything you wrote, except the word "automatic". IMO baseball is an unexplainable game, where bad teams beat good teams about 50% of the time. Some days you are the big dog, some days you are the fire hydrant, and you can't choose WHICH days. Not my idea of "automatic".
  21. Keeping that in mind, my expectations for the Twins are: 1) Win 120 games during the regular season 2) Sweep the ALDS in three games 3) Sweep the ALCS in four games 4) Sweep the WS in four games 5) Move the franchise to New York City.... 6) Forcing the Yankees to move to Antarctica where only penguins attend their games
  22. All my of my expectations for the Twins are UN-realistic. If my expectations were realistic, I would be settling for mediocrity, and that was already judged unacceptable on another thread.
  23. A centerfielder colliding full speed with ANY corner outfielder or solid outfield wall is dangerous. Sano is softer than a solid outfield wall and is much more likely to call for the ball.
