  1. I like to stop in every once and a while and note that catcher CS stats include pick-off caught stealings. Jeffers' one credited CS this year was a pick-off, so he has thrown out 0 base stealers. He's technically 0-for-4, but realistically, he's 0-for-3 as two steals came on a double steal. Can't throw out both of them!
  2. I could be wrong but I don't think you can pull a player off waivers in this situation. It would be considered irrevocable waivers and if someone claimed him, he'd be gone.
  3. Why is Danny Santana continually referred to as the 25th man? Until Molitor proves something different to me I assume that if Santana is on the roster he will play in three out of every four games, just like he did last year. Are you really the 25th man when you play more than half of the roster?
  4. I doubt it would matter much. Mauer was leading off that inning, so there was no RBI. He got on an and eventually he made it to third base and they still couldn't score him. Since we're talking about the Twins against the Yankees in the post-season, I'd assume that even if Mauer had hit a homerun there, the Twins still lose the game.
  5. Nope, with over 5 years of MLB service, the team still has to pay him. Under 5 years is a different story.
  6. Nolasco has over 5 years of service time, so if the Twins DFA him, he'll refuse, become a free agent and the Twins will still have to pay him.
  7. I want to note that the pickoffs counted in Pinto's 5 caught stealings were not pickoffs by Pinto himself. I'm not sure if that's what you thought or not, but I got that impression based on you asking about Pinto's pickoff attempts last year.
  8. I'd like to hear a good argument for Jack Morris being a better pitcher than Mike Mussina.
