    "He's a high-OBP, low-power corner outfielder in the mold of Robbie Grossman" Who can play defense! Grossman is the person I most want replaced due to his woeful one-dimensional contributions (at best).
  2. D.C Twins
    Boy is that photo a microcosm of the season so far....well chosen
  3. D.C Twins
    The FO has done some good things and cannot control the... Injuries/etc that DO matter (Castro, Mauer, Palanco, Buxton, Sano, Santana....) They do control what to do about it. 1. Cycle some of the reliever up to get a break for some of the overused and therefore becoming more ineffective (you know who they are) 2. Bring up some of the young talent for experience and evaluation This is not rocket surgery or brain science..... but.... the first step is to admit that you have a problem
  4. D.C Twins
    Dear Twins FO, I know that Gordon was one of my draft picks and perhaps not as exciting to you as some of the players that you bring in.... but you do realize that the Twins used Adrianza as a pinch "hitter" in an actual MLB game which they were presumably trying to win right?! ….A game in which 5 "hitters" had a BA that ranged from 0.192 to 0.239 and the 6th was a AAAA player that stuck out 3 times. You guys have done some good things, but....just sayin' Thinking of You, Terry Ryan
  5. D.C Twins
    I want to be as excited as the next guy.... but I think we can all agree that 7.5BB/9 inngs average will not equate to 1.50 ERA's in many starts going forward. This is just a blip on the screen unless the control thing is figured out.
  6. D.C Twins
    Nick Gordon is STILL the top one person that needs to be promoted....STILL. Eh, the FO will get there eventually
  7. D.C Twins
    Grossman needs to go..... no place for a one dementional (at best) "OF" on a young team trying to develop a championship core. There are just not enough bench spots for any one dementional player. yes....yes.....YES...it is time to begin the youth movement. This is only a lost season if we fail to take the opportunity to evaluate young talent in the MLB
  8. D.C Twins
    Still seems that having Gordon up since Polanco went out would have been at least a win (gain experience) or even more likely a win/win (hit better than the alternative) As for the argument that he needs to work more on defense....yes BUT I seem to remember that there were more than a few similar threads about Polanco just 1+ year ago.... (yep, I'm going to keep bringing this up, until he's up....or until it becomes feasible to win consistently when scoring 3 or less runs a game)
  9. D.C Twins
    Seth -- Thoughts on Zander Wiel. Prospect or just older than competition?
  10. D.C Twins
    Dear Twins FO, We like promoting young talent. We'll trade you a reliever for Gordon....trust us, this time will be different! Your Friends, The Washington Nationals FO
  11. D.C Twins
    Dear FO, We've been watching Gordon from a far... and our consensus opinion is.... Yes Please! Love, The Minnesota Twins Players
  12. D.C Twins
    Also, I am VERY concerned that Mauer may have already played his last baseball game. When diving for a ground ball carries a risk of relapse (however small), he is likely going to take a (justified) long hard look at his future. Balance issues and sensitivity to light WAY more concerning than a refractory headaches and neck pain. Very much hope that I'm overreacting
  13. D.C Twins
    The Washingon Nationals also have injuries.... But they chose to use it as an opportunity to bring up their young(er) talent (19 y/o)that was producing in AA (Hey Twinkies, sound familiar?) I'm not disappointed by that the Twins FO took a flyer on Lynn and the injuries are not their fault obviously. They ARE responsible for how the react to problems, and that currently leaves A LOT to be desired. Let the young talent that will be part of the next championship push start getting reps (with all due respect to Grossman, Lynn, Petit, Adrianza, and Cave, they are definitely NOT part of that future push) To Gordon, Wade (when healthy), and Gonslaves, welcome, we've been waiting. To Petit, Grossman, and Lynn, thank you for your service. It's Time
  14. D.C Twins
    I'm worried about Mauer.... Any strange reports about injuries from the neck up has to raise concerns about return of his post-concussive symptoms... Man do I hope my worries are unfounded. Get Well Joe!
  15. D.C Twins
    Esteemed FO, I hate to pile on, but you have seen Lynn pitch right?! I don't want to come off as arrogant but I'm pretty sure I can best an ERA of 7.47, WHIP of 2.04, and 4ish average innings per start. I'm ready when you are! Yours Truly, Gonsalves
  16. D.C Twins
    Your Honor FO, We would like to present our closing arguments featuring the evidence from the last 4 hitters in todays MLB box score with current BA (OPS): Grossman: 0.231 (0.646) Buxton: 0.156 (0.397) Adrianza: 0.213 (0.535) Wilson: 0.158 (0.530) We are not experts in advanced metrics, but it seems like sustained winning will be difficult with this strategy. If only there were something else to try (wink, wink) Your Excited Prospects, Gordon and Wade
  17. D.C Twins
    It was a mistake putting him in the pen the first time and it would be an even bigger mistake this time. Solid starters are hard to come by (just ask Lynn if you don't believe me)....bullpen arms can be acquired an/or signed much easier. If May is sharp and the FO is concerned that they will aspirate on the sunk money to Hughes and Lynn, then he should START in AAA until someone comes to their senses. If a chain needs to be yanked, yank the flailing veteran on a one year contract, not the chain of someone that could be part of a long term winning team
  18. D.C Twins
    Labrum surgery is tricky and outcomes more unpredictable than other sports injuries (except 'thoracic outlet surgery'). Joint can end up too tight or too loose. If it was the throwing shoulder I'd be VERY worried but alas, it is not, so he's got a shot.
  19. D.C Twins
    Not pretending to know for sure that Gordon would stick (but I do think he is a tenacious competitor).....just think that given his performance and the Twins need for a better bat at the position warrant a shot (Also like the idea of Wade as 4th OF....just hate the inflexibility of having Grossman on the roster)
  20. D.C Twins
    On a more positive note... Happy MAY-day everyone!
  21. D.C Twins
    Worlds greatest mysteries..... Does string theory really prove there are 11 dimensions?..... ....and why hasn't Gordon gotten a shot with Palanco out given the other underwhelming options? (and not necessarily in that order)
  22. D.C Twins
    Where has Rooker been? Injured? All the early season turmoil seems to have really thrown Vargas off. He is really struggling. Anyone know what is holding Gordon back at this point (honest question)?. I think it is time to get his MLB party started
  23. D.C Twins
    Grat-er-ol! That-is-all....
  24. D.C Twins
    The future needs to be now. Gonsalves and Slegers need to be breaking in with Romero. (and Gordon needs to be up while Sano is out playing every day but that is another thread). Young and hungry is exactly the infusion this club needs. Hughes is done. No more pontifications, ruminations, perseverations, machinations or-most-importantly- rationalizations. Lynn can go to long relief and EARN his way back into the rotation. He is on a 1 year contract....short leash. Now back to your regularly scheduled recognition of MiLB starting pitchers.....
  25. D.C Twins
    Side effects of an imploding bullpen include: Overexcitement about Tyler Jay and Zach Jones!
