    A little surprised that Twins fans were booing an opposing player for lack of hustle. Brutal.

    Looks like we can scratch him off of our list of potential free agent signings next year. Coming off that earlier injury, this substance likely enhanced his recovery. I can understand his temptation to take this product - it could've translated into a big deal next season. Now? Not so much. A calculated risk. I see a lot of condemnation but if you had a shot to earn tens of millions for taking a substance to speed up recovery, you might think long and hard about it.

    I just got 3-1 odds on a hangnail keeping him out for more than 5 days.

    I visualize Arraez as a #2 hitter able to move the leadoff guy along and setting the table for 3-5. I also project Buxton as leadoff despite his comfort at 9. I don't so Arraez as a prototypical leadoff merely because he isn't the most fleet at foot. Ideally, I'd like someone (like Buxton) to stretch out from 1st to 3rd on a single to right.

    Wow, with one out you gamble when you've sent four baserunners on that laboring closer? Sac fly wins it. One out! As a 3rd base coach, you need to know your player's capabilities and the situation. To see a guy thrown out by a mile in that scenario was embarrassing. And that was basically a two game swing since it was head-to-head. We win, we go up 2. Lose and we're tied. A big moment. It takes a lot to essentially gain two games on Cleveland at this point. That was a golden opportunity.

    @What's his OPS, that wasn't my point as this was in reference to someone claiming he could only play one position therefore his value diminished. I'm not calling for Schoop to replace Sano at the moment but he's certainly a valuable backup at either 2B or 3B.
  13. Bavarian
    FWIW Schoop played 3B in Baltimore.

    A lot of teams walked away empty-handed. The asking prices were reportedly way too high in many cases. These so-called "sellers" will now risk many of these tradable players to walk away with no prospects gained. Something happened recently where teams have adopted this insistence of an "arm & a leg" return and won't bargain or deal for some compromise in any form. It's weird. If I'm the owner and my team allowed some of these trade-worthy players that weren't going to be extended to walk away without any prospects, I'm firing my GM ASAP without any severance pay just to send a message.

    I still wonder if Greinke is an option for this team. He doesn't like big markets so much.

    You think we'll get two more relievers?

    Does anyone know about Diaz? The Vegas station this morning claimed he should be the Twins top target.

    They can absolutely be caught by Cleveland. Now a 2-game lead and without Kluber! That 96% number is ridiculous. This was a 12 game lead before the break and we have seen our starters laboring a bit. Odorizzi is fading and the bullpen is getting in way too many innings. They're gasping and sputtering before the dog days of August while the Indians are in cruise control. My money's on the Indians who have been baseballs best team in the 2nd half the past 4 seasons under Francona. The trending data is not in our favor. All that said, I do like the spirit of the team and they will be in every game with that batting lineup but I see a wild-card spot for the Twins.

    They have some bats, no doubt. Blankenhorn has been raking it as well. I'm wondering if they could move him up this season at 3B. I'm not a Sano fan.

    Couldn't we contend for years to come? I don't agree that this can be a rare occasion. There's a solid, young nucleus signed with control for several years down the road for most. I agree that 2 reliable relievers are needed but obviously moving forward, the same will hold true for starters next season. I don't see them as a contender this year in spite of the record and success to this point.
  24. Bavarian
    I don't consider that GM statement as enough fodder that Minor will be dealt. That's the kind of guy you keep if you're suddenly contending ahead of schedule. They're not sellers as they are in playoff contention. I'd love to have him but I don't see him being available.
