  1. Ortiz is an ego-maniac so of course he refers to Vargas as Little Papi. To Papi, the game is all about Papi.
  2. Nothing at all wrong with Mauer's defense. He certainly doesn't belong in that group of defensive hacks.
  3. Plouffe's defense got noticeably better last year as did his offense. I'm not sure it's even better this year. He won't be an all star. There are quite a few better than him in the AL. That doesn't take away from Plouffe's hard work paying off though.
  4. I never said other wise. My point was, if people expected him to do well, they were bound to be let down based on the fact that he hadn't prepared and because he started the season late. And to play devils advocate for a moment, he wasn't employed in the offseason nor was he employed prior to being signed. He didn't owe any team anything.
  5. Morales didn't prepare for last season and started the season late. It was too much to expect him to do well after that
  6. Thanks for the info. And why? Because Santana's BABIP is a hair above league average right now and look at the results. Still, though SSS for everyone.
  7. I think it's possible. I think there's something to be said for comfort level of players (though, admittedly, not sure how moving an IF to CF would make him more comfortable). I also think that his offense last year was way over his abilities but is not as bad as this year so far. He has to figure out a way to get on base more.
  8. anyone know what league average BABIP is this year so far or what it was last year?
  9. unfortunately, our list of people who should bat 9th is pretty long:-)
  10. Mauer's defense is just fine at 1B. It's just not 23M dollar fine :-)
  11. If we had a good defensive catcher on the team now, it'd be easier to back the idea we need to continue to wait for Pinto to get better at catcher. But we don't. Pinto has 400 games at catcher in the minors. Not sure how much better we can expect him to get.
  12. This sounds like a post that might have been written about Plouffe a few years ago.
  13. Gibson isn't a kid in baseball terms. He's 27. As far as Santana goes, many felt last year was way over his head with his BABIP over .400. Now it's .286, so yeah, he's dropped. On top of that, he's wasn't a top prospect nor was Arcia. I don't think either was ever rated top 100 by any major prospect listings. Some people are screaming for the top prospects to come up.
  14. I was saying if we had gotten a quality CF (at any point in the last three years), we could move him to a corner whenever Buxton was ready. As far as Hunter goes, yeah I've been against that from the beginning.
  15. kid goes up there all pumped up wanting to be the hero right after a pitcher walked a guy. Have to make him throw strikes.
  16. one less forceout possible depending on where the ball is hit.
