  1. Who said that? That's a weird straw man. One is allowed to "have a problem with" an article, and for damn good reason, and not be falsely accused of trying shut down debate. In fact, if anyone is, it's you: So then what's this article doing here? All sides have a right to their opinions. Period.
  2. What's the likelihood of Charlie Barnes dropping an ineffective pitch or two and being able to reach back for a few more digits on the radar gun in relief? My feeling is that that may be his best shot to stick, but we've seen plenty of fringe-starter lefties do it, including one in Glen Perkins who became one of the Twins' best closers.
  3. That sounds like the exact opposite of job security. I completely disagree with these takes.
  4. Honestly these guys are probably our new 1-2. Royce Lewis losing so much time has to hurt his stock.
  5. This makes me feel better. Of course it happened literally while I was posting that I wanted more than SWR.
  6. I hope there’s more than one piece coming back. He doesn’t seem like a plug and play for 2022, and his ceiling is likely Berrios-esque but with all the risk that comes from having just a half a season above single A. I know he’s considered a good prospect but I want an overpay and one guy isn’t it. IMHO.
  7. I got regular groomsman gifts for my friends at my wedding, but my brother best man got that very same ‘85 Topps Puckett card.
  8. Always seemed like a priority to me. Maybe especially so if our competition for signing him is all in-division.
  9. Fact that may only interest me: when I visited the Cedar Rapids Kernels in 2013, mostly to see Buxton in person for the first time, I saw him play against Albert Almora, then on the Kane County Cougars. They were both very impressive, but Almora had the better game that day. (I also saw Dan Vogelbach and remember thinking that if he doesn’t get into some semblance of shape it won’t matter how many homers he hits, he wouldn’t make it to the majors. I guess that was not true.)
  10. Yeah seems to reward pitching depth more this way than just top end pitchers. One or two aces might not get it done if the rest of the rotation is bad.
