    Just wanted to make sure everyone had to read this again because... well... THIS! If you want to hit your incentives...perhaps....I don't know.... earn the playing time to get said incentives.... just a wild idea.
  2. D.C Twins
    Ugh... a prolonged need for any of the above is not compatible with a championship season

    "The bar for offense at designated hitter is high, as you might expect given the title. Placing a mediocre bat there is an easy path to competitive disadvantage." This!
  4. D.C Twins
    Big hit to offence without Krill and Polo....line up gets thin quickly
  5. D.C Twins
    I'll say the RANGE for possible win totals has never been so wide for me (anywhere between 72 and 90 wins would honestly no surprise me) Big potential variations that I'll be watching closely 1. Buck's health and games started in CF (duh) 2. Mahle's health and ability to play at his top level throughout the season 2a. AK's wrist over long season 3. Lewis's performance upon return 4. Ober (I think he could flash #2 SP ability this year..... ducking to avoid flying rotten fruit) 5. Will the real Lopez please stand up in the bullpen? 6. Miranda' s defense at 3rd base (I think he'll definitely hit but his value is so much higher as a competent 3rd baseman that 1st where he seems destined to end up)
  6. D.C Twins
    I remain most nervous about Krilloff and Mahle long term Wrists are very delicate and undergo a lot of repeated stress. I continue to be concerned that Mahle has thoracic outlet syndrome (not picked up on scans) I hope I'm over worrying!

    I love me a little overreaction from time to time, but this level of consternation about spring training playing time even makes me blush a little....
  8. D.C Twins
    I think this singling out shows that the Twins in no way evaluated the situation as an unavoidable random act of violence as some on this site seemed inexplicably ready to believe as Balze's account.
  9. D.C Twins
    I think it IS fair to say that he has squandered his significant talent at this point (for whatever reason). And I can stay with confidence that I have a morbid curiosity about where he ends up.
  10. D.C Twins
    Do NOT take my conspiracy theories away from me! What will I have left! :)
  11. D.C Twins
    He'll be gone from the dugout by the end of the season and into a 'front office consultant role' which will fit him perfectly. I get the feeling that he is a big but methodical thinker, but not so great with fluid, agile, short fuse decision making that is required for a great manager. No offence to Rocco, he's just in the wrong place to maximize his talents
  12. D.C Twins
    Lee to 3rd and Miranda to 1st and let Polonco and Julian figure out 2nd ... but then there is Lewis... what great problems to have! (I have my serious doubts about Krills long term health but I hope I'm wrong). Lee may end up being like Moss, Jefferson, Peterson, Culpepper falling into Vikings lap.... aweseome!
  13. D.C Twins
    Rocco's managing..... whooaaaaaaaaaaaaa
  14. D.C Twins
    That prize combo of Nick -leback -punto is absolutely hilarious. Made my day.... Kudos
  15. D.C Twins
    are we sure the radars are calibrated correctly?
  16. D.C Twins
    I find this HIGHLY unlikely. I have seen/heard of zero 6+ foot 220+ men getting sucker punched by a complete stranger for no reason in my life..... and I've been around for awhile and been in many situations.
  17. D.C Twins
    MORE COWBELL! (....and Nick Gordon is a valuable asset that I do not think has peaked yet)
  18. D.C Twins
    Break x3
  19. D.C Twins
    I'll go Lawyerson (though nobody outside of the top 20 really stood out to me)
  20. D.C Twins
    "his leash should be short and there is nothing about a $3.5 million salary that will keep Minnesota from avoiding the same fate from a year ago." But will it be? This is the key. Nick Nelson's nice article convinced me that he was worth a 3.5 million flier (kudos to Nick, because convincing me was not easy). But the problem is that the Twins have not demonstrated the ability to cut relief pitchers loose at the appropriate time in the past seasons when things were not working.
  21. D.C Twins
    I'd rather hear he was going to manage 'somewhere else' than 'differently' but I guess this is better than nothing until he is inevitably fired at or near the end of the season
  22. D.C Twins
    His parents need to engage right now and make sure he is fully aware of the precipice he is on. (Male brains aren't fully developed until 25 at the earliest and probably a bit later) Because professional coaches have neither the time nor energy to devote to filling the role of parent to any of these players
  23. D.C Twins
    I see a slight hitch in Lewis' giddy up in that video but early days and encouraging that he is running period.
  24. D.C Twins
    Ahh... we've progressed from the '(fill in the blank) is in the best shape of his life' to 'just imaging if Buxton could stay healthy for a whole year' in the annual stories... .... which means opening day is getting closer!!!!!
  25. D.C Twins
    Great staff for the regular season.... post season is where the lack of an elite pitcher comes back to haunt.
