Over and Under: Evaluating The White Sox

So, you think you know what's going to happen in the AL Central? Let's find out.   Every year Vegas takes bets on how teams will do over a full year. This represents an unbelievable opportunity for someone who iss super confident in their baseball statistics, because it eliminates the "sample size" excuse.   So have at it. We'll start on the south side of Chicago.   The White Sox won 85 games last year, finishing second in the AL Central. However, their expected wins, which can be a slightly be
Peanuts from Heaven

It's Going to be Rough...

I know you love the Twins brother, it's just...--My little brother, January 2013. For her birthday, I took Stinky, aka Mrs. Peanut, aka the co-founder of this blog, aka my wife, to Chicago to see her sister and a whole pile of friends. We had a great time, trying great restaurants, escaping "bro-bars" and celebrating the fact that she has continued to cheat death for another year. My wife's sister lives about a mile down the road from Wrigley Field, and even an American League man like myself sn

A Snowy Vision of the 2013 Twins.

While I was moping behind my snowblower, I noticed an unusual formation of snow. I turned off the machine and stepped closer to it.   The identify of those piles of snow became clear. You've seen them before, too. They're the smiling, handshaking baseball players whose image lights up when Twins players hit home runs. The players looked at me as if they were waiting for me to speak.   "Who will these 2013 Twins be?" I asked. "Who can I cheer for? Who can I believe in?"   The figures just kept sh

The Snowed In Opening We've All Imagined.

Weather reports tell me something wicked this way comes. I've got two gallons of gas for the snowblower and just enough left in my own tank to dig out from this one.   Downtown, Target Field better be ready. Come April, we're all coming over to watch the game.   With the weather waiting to pummel us yet again, how many of us are imagining a Wintery Wasteland Opening Day nightmare? Ever since they announced the stadium, the truly pessimistic of have smirked small, bitter smirks and imagined a sn

2013 Twins Spring Training Battle Dashboard: Version 1

Originally published at The Tenth Inning Stretch (and with a little better colors) ----   With the Twins' Spring Training about half a month old and eight official games in the books, it is about time that I start posting these dashboards again keeping track of how the players who are batting for positions are doing. It might seem that Spring Training has been going on for a while, and it has because of the World Baseball Classic. For comparison, last year the first Twins' game of Spring

Introducing the Gagne Threshold

Originally posted at Kevin Slowey was Framed!   The most recent episode of Gleeman and the Geek touched on a familiar topic for Twins fans. The middle infield has been a consistent area of need for the Minnesota Twins, since the days of Greg Gagne and Chuck Knoblauch. It was discussion of Gagne that specifically interested me. I remember Gagne as a kid. He was a player that I never really thought a whole lot about. Now that I am older, I understand his value. The Twins haven't had a consis

Playing on the Radio.

I think Twins magic begins with a car radio, a commute of erratic, skidding traffic, and staring at the sun while waiting for red lights.   Returning to baseball life is a greater gift to the fans living in places where the offseason is covered in snow and loneliness.   When the bat cracks and the crowd cheers, we know the small city filled with red- and blue-clad fans will be born around Target Field. There will be beer, hugs, and shouting.   At that moment, the shouting comes from the guy in

Vance Worley and the need for a third pitch

Vance Worley is poised for his second unofficial start for the Minnesota Twins today.   Compared to the other recent additions to the rotation, the 25-year-old right-hander’s first outing in the Grapefruit League was very positive. He worked two innings, allowed a pair of hits but didn’t allow any runs. Feedback from his new manager was good.   “I like him. He looks like a gunslinger with that windup,” Ron Gardenhire told reporters following the team’s 5-4 victory over the Pirates. “It looks lik
