    On the other hand, they signed Bartolo Colon in July and rode him to the end. Tim Melville got a start on August 21st.

    Got it! My bad for not reading the whole thread. But Dozier can be so up-and-down it's hard not to argue Escobar's "consistency" would be a factor.
  3. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I strongly disagree. Many (most?) players ebb and flow over the course of a season. So unless you can hold up some other valuable players who bat right at their league average for most of the season, I will not agree that Escobar's unequal halfs are much worth noting. Also, Escobar has positional flexibility. Maybe most importantly, he is a positive influence in the clubhouse. I think "chemistry" and "leadership" can be overrated, but it can't be dismissed, and Escobar brings it in spades. Dozier and Escobar are probably my favorite players however I understand changes need to be made to move forward. Of the two, I'd keep Escobar.

    Good to know. I was curious if his hits were line drives or ground balls, if he is swinging out of the zone, etc., but this is helpful too.
  7. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Does anyone have any information about Buxton?
  8. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I wouldn't say overblown, I'd say he deserves his equal share of credit for turning this season to junk. Early on, and now again he is taking the stage. He is pulling his weight.

    Also posted this in the game thread: In the classic save situation of a one-run lead to start the ninth, Rodney is now only 1 out of 4 in converting those to wins.
  10. Hosken Bombo Disco
    True. I get it. Minnesota fans remember Korey Stringer. I just wonder if players feel invincible and fail to take the precautions seriously. This is where teammates have to watch each other's backs when away from the park.
  11. Hosken Bombo Disco
    At least the good news is Joe Mauer is now on pace to finish with more than 300 RBI
  12. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Did Kepler also leave due to heat? Sounds like it was a fun game, but man I wish this team was better.
  13. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Stay stretched out, be in shape, and drink plenty of water the night before, even if it means a couple extra trips to the john during the night. /mansplaining

    Is Tyler Wells close to a promotion to AA?
  15. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I didn't see the inning, so no opinion. In general I am the opposite. Would rather see a starter clean up his own mess.
  16. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Does anyone have any opinion on whether Lynn should have stayed in in the 6th?
  17. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Ah, I think I see where you are coming from now. (Maybe because I didn't choose to read the Souhan column.) No, Joe does not need to sign a small contract to earn back good will from people who have it out for him. No. I just think he will sign a small contract anyway. But no he doesn't "need" to do that to "make things right" with his current contract. I think you said that but the point got lost somehow.
  18. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I have never once begrudged Mauer for his big contract. (maybe someone can comb through every thread, just to be sure.) However, if he comes back for 2019, I peg his salary at about 5 or 6 million, which of course would be a small discount on his expected war for 2019. I think there's a place for him on the team. If his side inexplicably demands multiple years or double figure millions, I'm not sure how long I negotiate, if I'm the front office.
  19. Hosken Bombo Disco
    search up "baseball card vandals" and you get some really creative stuff (and some pretty childish stuff) but it's definitely worth a look.
  20. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Yep, I don't think the Hunter contract is the benchmark for this. Joe is one of a kind. He has the money. He either wants to play next year, or doesn't, and if he does want to play I'm not sure why he would drive a hard negotiation.
  21. Hosken Bombo Disco
    That's a reasonable opinion. Mauer can still contribute.
  22. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I don't see a problem with Mauer agreeing to $5 million per year or so, one year at a time.
  23. Hosken Bombo Disco
    What about his stance? How does he look? What is he actually doing? I think they are looking at more than box score stats.
  24. Hosken Bombo Disco
    What's Buxton actually doing? Has he run the bases at all? They said they were asking him to change his approach.
  25. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Great stuff
