    Should Robinson even be playing RF if he can barely hit 80 MPH?
  2. nicksaviking
    No Hicks? I thought he could hit 97 in HS!
  3. nicksaviking
    I think you'll have to be more specific.
  4. nicksaviking
    Don't see the LOOGY in the fifth too often.
  5. nicksaviking
    Judging by the game threads activity, it's certainly less watchable.
  6. nicksaviking
    And it really sucks when it's in the shop the better part of a decade.
  7. nicksaviking
    Probably an unconscious omission
  8. nicksaviking
    Are you suggesting Cleveland has a competent offense? I thought Pelf got destroyed by a terrible one.
  9. nicksaviking
    I could see the case for the NL East, but KC is bouying the AL Central. I don't think there's another division that has four terrible teams.
  10. nicksaviking
    Looks like the Twins have eight hits all by eight different batters.
  11. nicksaviking
    What if he doesn't shine in year one or year two? You know, like a normal player? That's what the discussion has been all about. And this has been year one by the way.
  12. nicksaviking
    If the Twins weren't in the saddest division in baseball I'd say yes.
  13. nicksaviking
    People get floors and ceilngs mixed up all the time I'm sure.

    I don't think it much matters at this point if Gibson is a #2, #3 or #5. The Twins painted themselves in the corner and regardless of rotation spot, Santana and Hughes are locked in. Hopefully the team makes the right play and sticks Nolasco in the pen or DFA's him leaving Gibson, May, Berrios, Duffy, Milone and Mike Pelfrey on a new four year deal (I must assume) for the other three spots. If Ryan is going to clear out some depth (ha) and move someone, Gibson is the only one who has a tradable contract with enough MLB credibility to actually get you a return.

    So five out of 25 is too many young players for a rebuilding team? Can't tell if we're talking to Ryan or Gardy here.
  16. nicksaviking
    More likes for this one please. Watching this team fall on it's face the last two weeks, clearly the handfull of young players on the roster aren't the issue. The players listed in this post are almost exclusively the only players I like watching lately.
  17. nicksaviking
    I agree, for all the hand sitting at the deadline, I think Ryan makes a lot of moves this offseason. Overcomepensation for previous inactivity is not out of the question either.
  18. nicksaviking
    I hope I wasn't sounding like I thought they were. I'm also quite confident they aren't holding back the German.
  19. nicksaviking
    As much as I like organizational stalwarts Ortiz, Farris and Rodriguez they shouldn't be blocking Kepler.
  20. nicksaviking
    You don't need much range in RF at Target Field, there's no foul territory and you can barely play hop scotch between the infield and the wall. You need even less range if Buxton is in CF. also with all the shifting, Dozier is basically playing outfield half the time vs left handed hitters. Besides, there's no law against having sub par defensive right fielders. The team has one now.
  21. nicksaviking
    Roy Smalley played less than 2 years of minor league ball and he played in an era where guys routinely played little or even skipped the minors altogether. I'm OK with Buxton playing AAA if that means Arcia gets one final audition instead of the front office making a fairly uneducated guess about his future this offseason, but Buxton could probably just as easily take his lumps at the MLB level for a rebuilding team than face a bunch of journeymen junkballers in AAA.
  22. nicksaviking
    Particularly when you consider it wasn't a normal series for the Blue Jays. This was the matchup that pulled the Blue Jays into a Wild Card spot and perhaps showed that they should be the AL favorites. When it comes down to it, this may end up being the series they point to as the defining moment in their season. Had it been the Twins, excitement would have been expected as well. Though I did like Sano's classy non-celebretory trot. Jubilation when your team is winning sends a different message than when your team is actually losing.
  23. nicksaviking
    Dozier didn't. Others would consider Plouffe a top player right now too. Those guys show a recent history of not extending past free agency. But full discosure, I was in full favor of not extending Dozier past his normal free agency clock, and I'd rather deal Plouffe than extend him.
  24. nicksaviking
    I agree that the options shouldn't matter. However if someone would have suggested the same thing for Oswaldo Arcia three years ago, I would have said the same thing. Different caliber prospects obviously, but to think that what has happened with Arcia, or Hicks, couldn't happen to Buxton would be dangerous.
  25. nicksaviking
    Well he's spent nearly 20 years watching pitches come from the opposite arm of the pitcher, to think that he will be better watching the pitch come from a different angle after two decades seems pretty crazy to me.
