    Very happy to see the MLB rewarding high performance players with limited/no bargaining power!
  2. D.C Twins
    Buck as a permanent DH is not the answer to any question.... as proven this year
  3. D.C Twins
    Clearing Buxton's 15 mil off the payroll would be the best, but unfortunately there would be no takers. (Acknowledging that I was fully on board with the signing when it happened and enjoyed peak Buck as much as anyone)
  4. D.C Twins
    This was brilliant. Kudos to you Sir!
  5. D.C Twins
    No.... just....no
  6. D.C Twins
    Lee with higher floor, not lower floor... otherwise great article!
  7. D.C Twins
    Yes...yes it does
  8. D.C Twins
    I love Rule of 5 season... because it always makes me think of Santana which of course makes me smile!
  9. D.C Twins
    Domo Arigato.... see ya Mr. Sabato!

    The only conundrum is why people still think there is still uncertainty around Buxton. His past provides clear certainty that he cannot be relied upon to be a full time CF and his bat is not good enough to justify being a permanent DH. Just because it is horrible for Buck, the team, and the fans does not mean it isn't true
  11. D.C Twins
    Pretty simple.... if the FO feels confident that they have identified the source of his regression and can address it.... then go for it. If they are just hoping that he gets 'it' back then... no
  12. D.C Twins
    This.... this..... aaaaaaand... THIS! Do not mess with Lee at 1B... waaaay too valuable somewhere else in the infield.
  13. D.C Twins
    Hope for the best and expect the worst. LOVE Buck. Wish the absolute best for Buck But the FO simply cannot make plans based on the hope that Buck returns to CF, or as a DH only for that matter. Hope is not a plan.

    If there were not chronic medical concerns, it would have been malpractice for Buck's agent to allow him to sign a 100 mil contract. Not conspiracy, but facts. Buck without chronic medical concerns goes right to the open market and makes waaaaaay more than 100 mil over 7 years. Tendonitis is NOT a chronic medical concern... sorry.
  15. D.C Twins
    LENIII literally makes his living relaying talking points of the Twins FO... so whatever comes from him is fairly inconsequential. Arthroscopic Knee procedures should take weeks to a few months and not many months to years to recover from.... if they could actually fix the problem,... which for Buck and his degenerative knee condition... they cannot. Also, if the Buck and his agent really thought his chronic knee issues were only to flares of patellar tendonitis... they would not have agreed to a 100 million dollar contract (they would have demanded double at least). Buck, his agent, and the Twins agreed to this 'deal' because there were real concerns based on the existing medicals (which again... would not be just patellar tendonitis) Love Buck.....Feel bad for Buck (though 100 mil should buffer the frustration a bit)... but the FO best not be making plans based on Buck in CF full time next year.
  16. D.C Twins
    Well Nick... good to see that you have made it to somewhere between the denial and bargaining phase. No shame in that. Those of us in that have reached the acceptance phase will have a nice cold brew waiting for you when you arrive!
  17. D.C Twins
    That Buck is never coming back unfortunately ....
  18. D.C Twins
    1. Second base (Polonco trade) 2. No he does not 3. Martin 4. Polonco, Gray headliners but more 5. Yes
  19. D.C Twins
    Love Buck... but HE. IS. COOKED. Another random scope is not going to fix his degenerative arthritic knee due to loss/damaged cartilage... just a good talking point to help maintain current season ticket holders and sign up know ones. His offense would not justify being a starting 1B just like it didn't justify being a DH.
  20. D.C Twins
    My take was certainly not a hot one Baker does not repeatedly get managerial jobs by accident. MANY people that know more than us have identified his talent. There have been A LOT of managers that have not won divisions, pennants, and WS when they had 'great' players. As for last night specifically, I think he managed his SP differently than many (certainly Rocco) would have.
  21. D.C Twins
    This... this.... aaaaaaand..... THIS. The ump scorecards just confirmed the obvious (and attached a 'runs lost' component) It was an unadulterated s-show of ball/strike calls on the close pitches for the Twins. A more accurate evaluation would be percent of close pitches call correctly. As a known Rocco critic... I think he managed quite well in the playoffs, BUT he needed to pick a moment or moments during the Houston series to get after the Umps and even comment about it in the media if the Umps did not respond to 'constructive criticism' on the field. You have to stand up for your team in those situations and shine a light on things... even if it results in an ejection or a fine.
  22. D.C Twins
    He is on his way to becoming an 'ACE' but he's got demonstrate consistent excellence over next year and into the playoffs before I can give him that designation. He IS the Twins #1 and opening day starter and has all the promise in the world though!
  23. D.C Twins
    Dusty Baker is an absolute managerial stud. He uses analytics but he does not get used by analytics. Confident and in control at times just like his team.
  24. D.C Twins
    On a positive note, watching Paddack pitch made me VERY excited to see him as a SP next year... if he can stay healthy. He could slide in nicely behind Lopez in the rotation when Gray leaves (and leaves us a nice draft pick from our QO)
  25. D.C Twins
    I am now officially all in on the robo-ump. The ball/strike calls for the Twins in that game was an unadulterated S-Show! And make no mistake about it, when it became obvious to the Twins hitters that the Ump was incapable of calling close balls, they had to expand their zone for swinging/chasing. I very much wanted Rocco up and out EARLY confronting home umpire even if he was thrown out, because a statement HAD to be made. But I am D-O-N-E with umps calling balls/strikes... there is absolutely no need for it anymore. And the transition is not if but when.... so let's make that 'when' happen ASAP
