    That is a very fun fact. Yet Santana is getting the lion's share of ABs. It's truly mind boggling how that is possible.
  2. Vanimal46
    He could play middle IF and the OF. Yet he's starting exclusively in the OF. You would think if he's truly a utility guy he'd have starts all over the field, right?
  3. Vanimal46
    Other than speed, what function does he provide? He should be considered an OF only now since that's all he's played this year. He's a very poor hitting OF. This may be the first 100+ loss team I've followed that supposedly has too many good players for too few spots on a major league roster.

    I'm not sold on Arcia being David Ortiz 2.0. That's a bit of a stretch. Some of the handwringing about the situation which is warranted, IMO, is choosing D Santana over Arcia. I'm starting to sound like a broken record here. Santana is just as brutal offensively. If not the worst offensive players in baseball the last 2 years. But he can play anywhere in the OF and middle infield they say! He has started 0 games in the IF this season... So the Twins swapped out someone who could provide power potential for the team with a guy who provides no positive value besides speed for the team. That's my issue with it.

    10 days I believe. So June 26th.

    Tigers also just lost JD Martinez to a significant injury. White Sox have been aggressively making moves all season long. Possibly other contending teams in the AL that wouldn't mind a LH bat off the bench.

    I don't really understand the irrational love for D Santana in this organization. As others have mentioned, defensive flexibility and speed, D Santana's only positive traits, are found every day on the waiver wire... Hated Arcia's bone headed plays in the OF, but still loved the potential. This team is not that talented where they can afford to give away someone with 20+ HR potential like this. His talents were utilized very poorly on the Twins. It may take another year or 2 a la Valencia, but some team is going to utilize Arcia the right way and reap the benefits.

    JD Martinez just went down for the Tigers. Does Arcia find a home in the division?

    Mind.boggling.

    I said this in a minor league thread as a joke at the time. Now I'm kind of serious about it. I wouldn't call up Rosario until he hits double digits for walks. If it takes 400 ABs in AAA to do that, so be it.
  11. Vanimal46
    It's good that Rosario is finding his bat again. However, I'm not sold calling him up yet. Are we giving up all hope of him ever learning how to work a count and earn a walk? We're still talking about a guy who has 2 walks in 91 ABs since the demotion. If he rides this hot streak to the majors, great! If he cools off against MLB pitching, it's still the same free swinging Eddie we saw in April.

    Woah, didn't even look to see the picture of Brett Favre I posted before had the F word on it. Sorry Moderators! http://cdnph.upi.com/ph/st/th/8091403190631/2014/i/14031930248035/WATCH-Bearded-Brett-Favre-campaigns-for-Thad-Cochran.jpg?lg=1

    May I offer a suggestion so we can all recognize you at the game? Go ahead and have Mrs. Glunn paint Glunn - Head Moderator on your chest, then dance like this guy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSfadN29kP8

    My adrenaline would be through the roof driving on the autobahn. I'm pretty sure I would also be terrified of changing lanes or making any sudden movements traveling at 131 MPH.

    I grew up in the country so manual labor wasn't anything new. Bailing hay was by far the most grueling manual labor I've done... didn't have to work out much that summer!

    The justification of "he's not blocking anyone, why give him away?" I'm sure was used when describing Kurt Suzuki, Josh Willingham, and Phil Hughes too. There's rumblings all the time of keeping players too long until they're no longer valuable. Well, Nunez came out of no where this season to prove he's more valuable than we thought. There won't be a better time to get a return on a trade than this season.
  18. Vanimal46
    Yep. It was a good try by the author to point out that there were star level players selected below the Twins picks. In a true redraft those players wouldn't be close to being available where the Twins picked.

    Hopefully it's been a few years for all of us without getting an overdraft notice. I learned my lesson years ago while I was in college about overdrafting... Summer of 2009, just finished my freshman year of college, and no company in my hometown were hiring kids for summer jobs. I've never been more broke in my life than that summer. Fortunately one of my neighbor's who owns a farm hired me on to help bail hay. It was hard work, not a lot of pay, but it gave me some walking around money!

    I must admit Fernando Romero wasn't on my radar at all as far as prospects to follow. Thanks for giving me a new name to read about in the minor league reports.
  22. Vanimal46
    It's very possible I could have missed the article on college catchers, but what's the story on Matt Thaiss? If he's good enough to be projected at 19, I wouldn't mind a C at 15...
  23. Vanimal46
    For a 23 year old, near MLB-ready, high K rate RP... Hello Terry? Are you out to lunch? I think we could use 1 or 2 of those guys.
  24. Vanimal46
    Since Thorpe was signed 5 years ago, does that mean he needs to be added to the 40 man this off-season? Or do the Twins still have another year or so before that needs to happen?
  25. Vanimal46
    Sounds like you guys have way more productive plans in New Orleans than me. I usually don't make it out of Bourbon Street. Especially after a few hurricane cocktails...
