    There is only one consistently good catcher in the game today. Unless they target Buster Posey, there probably shouldn't be a significant trade to make. I want the Twins to fix this, but it's not like the team is on lack-of-catcher-island alone, this is just a really, really bleak time in baseball history for the catcher position.
  2. nicksaviking
    The Phillies are surprisingly in contention and they just lost their token veteran lefty in the rotation. It looks like they have a couple of young catchers in AAA and AA which look close, but not so exciting that they'd take a ransom. They already have their catcher of the future, and their veteran leader at the MLB level. A trade thus far hasn't worked the first time, but drafting hasn't been working either and good catchers rarely ever become free agents. If this team is going to get another useful backstop, I think continuing to try the trade route is still the best bet.

    If this is a classic move that the front office unethically pulls, we probably would have heard at least one starter call them out on it, not to mention the MLBPA. I don't think a healthy pitcher WANTS to sit.

    Pleeeeeeease Jose and Tyler, pitch well enough that the team would look foolish going back to the Santana/Hughes/Nolasco/Milone/Gibson rotation. Also did Milone just suck out a flush on the river or what. That guy has nine lives.
  5. nicksaviking
    Yup, I think it's possible, and if so I suspect it's why Ryan didn't give Molitor Murphy. Molitor would have been tempted to play him every day. Hypothetically possible of course. If you're into hypotheticals.
  6. nicksaviking
    Arcia, best enthusiasm on the team.
  7. nicksaviking
    I'd love to see the circus of roster moves if this game goes 16 innings. There'd be a one man bench tomorrow I'd bet.
  8. nicksaviking
    Are they both losing? I can promise I wouldn't like it if that was not the case.
  9. nicksaviking
    This bullpen management is bizarre. Meyer must really not be available which means Molitor has gone crazy pulling Milone after 4 2/3 after yesterday's marathon.
  10. nicksaviking
    Yeah and according to Dick, his brother had a red Corvair once. If Bert hadn't long been neutered, he would have asked Dick if his brother's girlfriend also had a pocket full of used condoms.
  11. nicksaviking
    Dick clearly doesn't know what that song is about. Surprise.
  12. nicksaviking
    Do the Twins know what Little Red Corvette is about, because I don't think they do.
  13. nicksaviking
    Yeah that was pretty lucky. But the luckiest 15 minutes goes to the time Oris Nixon, the ugliest human ever, stole Sugar Ray Leonard's wife, Juanita.

    Planet Veteran Preference.
  15. nicksaviking
    Punishment it is than.
  16. nicksaviking
    Soooo, May has been demoted to long man? Or he's getting stretched out?
  17. nicksaviking
    That's what Surly's is for.
  18. nicksaviking
    I think everyone's still at First Avenue.
  19. nicksaviking
    Tell that to Oliver Perez.
  20. nicksaviking
    Well yeah, but had Duffey been facing the Twins he would have had double digit Ks despite not even going 5 innings.
  21. nicksaviking
    I'm comfortable with 17 since we still have Milone. He's basically #18 as he's now a better offensive option than a pitching option.
  22. nicksaviking
    More like a scapegoat. Who shot DT? Some Canadian guy officer! I swear.
  23. nicksaviking
    Great, I love when I come downstairs from putting the kids to bed and the game's already over. Stupid East Coast blowouts.
  24. nicksaviking
    How is Duffey going to prove that, if he isn't actually given a shot to prove it? I don't have high expectations for Duffey, but he did well last year and I'm not willing to toss that aside and yell "Fluke" without him getting a chance to prove it wrong. This team isn't a contender, the batters are young and too strikeout prone, the lineup isn't balanced or constructed well, the bullpen is still relying on middling vets and AAAA guys and the starters are spectacularly unreliable for guys who's most glowing praise is always "experienced veteran". Unless we want to continue pushing back the timeline because the young starters and relievers haven't had a chance to take their MLB lumps, they need to get called up this year and get considerable reps. I would rather watch Meyer, Berrios and Duffey lose 85 games than watch Nolasco, Hughes and Milone lose 80. And frankly, after watching the Twins young bats last year and the young players league-wide, I really see very little reason to expect the veterans to outperform the young arms.

    I don't care who the Twins best starters are right now, if and when this club is ever a contender, they aren't going to be the best starters then. Game-to-game and year-to-year Nolasco and Hughes are as inconsistent as starting pitchers come, inning-to-inning, that title might fall on Milone. You don't have to milk the cow until every last drop comes out, if it's nearly dried up and a new cow has a good chance of producing more, move on to the new one. Also, why are you putting 100% of your Duffey evaluation on his unspectacular but still capable minor league numbers and 0% on his performance last year? Most folks would objectively say that earned him another good look. Edit: I've never been on a farm, is that how cows work?
