    FWIW, Belisle still has the best inherited runner/scored mark of any Twins reliever. Maybe his role should be coming in with runners on as opposed to starting an inning. Of course, his leverage usage is close to the bottom for the Twins.

    With no DH, they have an automatic extra roster spot. They are also “only” carrying 12 pitchers. Meaning they start every game with 5 bench players. Two more than the Twins.
  3. yarnivek1972
    You want 20 pitchers in September? How are they going to be used in a way that even comes close to replicating regular season usage?

    How would he have a choice? What is he going to do if he is callled upon in the 7th or 8th? Refuse to go in the game? That would be a breach of his contract.

    What was Reed’s velocity at the beginning of the year? Or last year?
  6. yarnivek1972
    There was that one game. I think it was a Friday.
  7. yarnivek1972
    In an era when errors are almost never called, Sano has 5 in fewer than 30 games at 3b. It is another way his game has regressed from last year.

    Hey, the blind squirrel found a nut.
  9. yarnivek1972
    I’d put it on CB Bucknor.

    The difference is that there aren’t any catchers in the top levels of the minors that need to be evaluated for potentially being a regular next year. There are 2-3 1b/dh types in AAA that should be evaluated: Austin, Wade and maybe Vargas.

    Every at bat Logan Morrison gets is a complete and utter waste.

    I think it was June when I said that I can envision a scenario of Falvey going into Pohlad’s office and saying “We tried it with your guy, and here we are. Again. Decision time sir. Him or me.”

    Scanning the transaction page, he was optioned out on the 2nd of July. So, that’s 95 days, give or take. Super two cut off is impossible to know for certainty until the season ends. But 2 years, +/- 150 days is likely a super 2 for sure.
  14. yarnivek1972
    Buxton started the year with 2 years, 62 days service time. How much has he gotten this year? Enough to keep him pre-arb if he doesn’t come back?
  15. yarnivek1972
    There’s no such thing as a “reduced role” player in these days of 12 and 13 man pitching staffs. I think the Twins try like hell to bring Escobar back to play 3b, move Sano to 1b/dh and use Austin there as well. Austin can also play some OF to spell the regulars and I would expect Granite or Cave to be at the MLB level as a reserve as well.
  16. yarnivek1972
    Yeah, a team that has been sub .500 since mid April is going to all of a sudden play .700 ball for two months after trading away 2 of their 5 best relievers and 2 of their 5 most productive hitters.
  17. yarnivek1972
    He can’t hit or field. Pass. I’d rather evaluate Austudillo at the MLB level.
  18. yarnivek1972
    Interesting to see who gets that roster spot. With Motter DFA last week, there are no other infielders on the 40 man. Did Motter clear? I guess he could come back. Are their any infielders actually doing well in AAA? Edit: Probably be Austudillo. Are his ten days up? Edit, part 2: No they are not. He was optioned on the 22nd. So, he’s ineligible until Thursday. My guess is they bring up an extra pitcher until then.
  19. yarnivek1972
    Is Allen no longer the Indians’ closer? Little strange to use him in the 8th inning of a tie game on the road.
  20. yarnivek1972
    Our new high leverage guy. Who saw that coming?
  21. yarnivek1972
    I’m stunned the Twins didn’t bunt in that situation. I’m 50-50 as to if I would have. Garver’s been good recently.
  22. yarnivek1972
    Interesting to use Hildenberger here. No Pressly. No Duke. Some combo of Reed and Rogers in the 8th I guess and hope there is a 9th?
  23. yarnivek1972
    File this for tomorrow: CB Bucknor will be the home plate umpire
  24. yarnivek1972
    I just hope they bring Austin up now and say goodbye to Logan Morrison. Austin should get 175-200 at bats the rest of this season.
  25. yarnivek1972
    Oh yeah, Hughes. Still under $70 mil if Odorizzi and Grossman are tendered. Grossman is probably 50-50 (sad to say, he might still be the best bet as a reserve OFer). Odorizzi right now for me would be a non-tender. We’ll see if he finishes well. I just don’t see the logic of spending $8 mil for a 5 inning starter with a .5 bWAR when you might get better than that from Romero for $550 K.
