    Another thing that is going to be hurt Jake Cave's chances of improving on what he did last year is playing time. He's not going to be in the lineup everyday like the last 3 months of last year.
  2. adorduan
    Yes, there is some effort in the delivery, but I've seen lots of pitchers with higher effort and less "stuff". Absolutely needs to given every chance to be a starter, even f it takes longer.

    With all these seemingly good prospects, we shouldn't be afraid of trading a few for an established MLer if the right opportunity arises.

    Palka, OBP south of .300 k rate at 36.6% and bad defense. Meh, he's basically another Oswaldo Arcia......

    I think his argument was we could have let someone else like Magill go instead of Curtiss. I know I'd rather have Curtiss that Magill.
  6. adorduan
    Magill and Duffy don't belong on a team that's trying to contend.

    "Be patient with Buxton, he needs to be part of the Twins solution and he certainly isn’t part of Minnesota’s problem right now." What? We have no idea what we will get from him this season or beyond. That is a problem.
  8. adorduan
    What I'm interested to see is if we get to the end of July and Sano and/or Buxton are failing/have failed, what this front office does then.
  9. adorduan
    Yeah, don't waste that arm at 2nd base.....

    How do you trade for and "ace" and those other pieces without giving up Lewis and Kiriloff? I don't see any other prospects and/or MLB players that the Twins have that get you an "ace" and those other pieces, especially if it includes control of those players for 2020.

    I guess I'd be OK with that. Twins wasted close to that much on Ricky Nolasco, without the potential upside. This is off subject a little bit, but I wonder with technology as it is today, if there could be a way to test/improve pitch recognition. Say with high speed cameras and some sort of device held in the hand, have the player stand in the batters box, no bat or anything, and just try to recognize the pitch. That way they are not worrying about any swing mechanics or anything like that, just pitch recognition. Have multiple buttons for FB CB CH SL and have the device synched to the cameras to see how quickly and accurately the player distinguishes the pitch. Maybe it could pick up that one particular pitch gives them problems or all non FB pitches, or whatever. Just thinking out loud, probably not workable or maybe they have some variation of this already. probably just a another dumb idea by me.

    So, this $50 million dollar extension, what exactly does it look like? I need some details....

    Not if his OPS is south of .600.
  16. adorduan
    none of the above.

    Although Astudillo has been a joy to watch, probably the biggest positive of this season has been the consistent good pitching from Gibson. He seemed to prove that the last 2 months of last season were not a fluke. He sure looks like someone we need to extend, if possible.
  18. adorduan
    In the little that we have got to see him, Gonsalves reminds me of Tommy Milone without the control. That's not a good combination.
  19. adorduan
    Yeah, too bad there's that part of the game called hitting.......
  20. adorduan
    So what? At least you are paying for performance instead of "potential".
  21. adorduan
    Hawkins is the best of the bunch and Hunter is just about unbearable to listen to. I turn the sound off when he's on.
  22. adorduan
    He sucked before the broken toe.....
  23. adorduan
    That "kid" had minor league numbers that were light years better that Stewart's. Not even close to the same situation.
  24. adorduan
    Using such small sample sizes and 3 1/3 and 6 2/3 innings doesn't really make your points very strong....do you really think May is going to continue to get a 21% swinging strike rate? I don't and I'd be willing to bet you on it. Meanwhile, Hader has done it over 58 innings..... Lots of guys have "dominated at an elite level" for 6 2/3 innings.
  25. adorduan
    Yes
