    I'm just happy that they didn't cough up another game with Maeken on the mound. He'll be on the news tonight for sure. He's a fighter.
  2. Aerodeliria
    Never been a Stashak fan...still am not...
  3. Aerodeliria
    I hope that's not a 21,000,000 dollar double. ;-)
  4. Aerodeliria
    Yes, it was a nice series, but please stop coughing up games in which Maeken pitches. This is a strange trend that goes back to last year. (We only get to watch the games that have a Japanese player playing.)

    Let's hope it's not: Stench of Garlick keeps fans from the ballpark. (Hey, it's just a joke...)

    I hope they are putting up a huge effort to improve Polanco's footwork. IMO, it is on the easy plays that he becomes his own worst enemy by slinging the ball across his body while facing home plate instead of stepping towards first base. When the situation isn't critical, he can control those throws through body and leg movement, but when the situation intensifies, his legs seem frozen making his throws erratic.

    I have the same concern as Dman. I'm not concerned about his arm strength but his throwing position. I was watching sumo a couple of years ago and the color commentator made this poignant point following a loss by the second week leader (sumo tournaments are 15 matches in 15 days). "He was demonstrating great technique in the first week and a half, but in his case, bad habits seem to reappear at the worst times."

    He's the one pitcher I absolutely do not want to trade unless they throw in the kitchen sink. For one thing, I just want to say Duran-Duran is a Minnesota Twin.

    Darrell Evans was another big time producer at age 40, and Twins fans remember him in the playoff games against the Tigers. He was feared--he walked 100 times! PA: 609 AB: 499 RUNS:90 HRS: 34 RBI: 99 AVG: .257 OBP: .379 SLG: 507 OPS: 880 WAR: 4.6
  10. Aerodeliria
    Yes indeed. I saw him pitch only twice last year and his fastball had no discernable movement (granted this is anecdotal).
  11. Aerodeliria
    Agreed
  12. Aerodeliria
    Woohoo
  13. Aerodeliria
    Get Simmons!
  14. Aerodeliria
    OK. Let's get a SS!
  15. Aerodeliria
    Nothing left on the table. Well-done!
  16. Aerodeliria
    Yes, I would trade any of them for Buxton because to have 'real' value, one actually has to be on the field. I floated the idea two years back that he might be the Jacoby Ellsbury of Twins--loaded with speed, agility, hitting prowess and leather skills but someone who spends the majority of the time on the DL. Buxton giving the Twins even 100 games in good health (not 70% OK) seems like a 20 to 1 longshot at this point. Let the poison arrows fly.
  17. Aerodeliria
    For the glove alone, I'd take Semien. He can hit .220 for all I care. I want a SS that makes plays in the field. Polanco's arm will always put the Twins at risk in tight games. Polanco can be a DH and a backup at first it second. Arraez can play 3rd if Donaldson goes down. His arm is much better than Polanco's.

    Of the three trades being discussed, this is the one that disgusted me. Houston knew exactly what to do with Pressly the second he arrived. They would have coughed up more had we held out.

    Of course, I love Maeken, but pitchers are always a risk because of arm problems. FYI, he was a horse for the Hiroshima Carp (I'm sure he regularly threw around 120 pitches in games he was pitching well if he needed to). This has been par for the course in Japan. I once saw Yamaguchi-san (Toronto Blue Jays) throw over 140 pitches in a game. This is why I was frustrated to see Maeken pulled against the Astros.
