    I don't agree. I think being in the bullpen is good for both him and the Twins right now. His future still might be as a starter. Many young starting pitchers get their feet wet in the majors pitching in relief.

    I love labels, in fact, my company makes them. Think beer and food labeling. ?

    Oh man, give me perch or walleye any day (though smoked carp isn't bad to pick at).
  4. AceWrigley
    Yeah really. As if them being in the water isn't bad enough.
  5. AceWrigley
    Bazebol !!!!!

    With the arrival of the Sisco kid, there's no more waiting for Godoy.

    Strat-o-matic did a 2022 simulation and somehow the Twins made it to the World Series to face the Brewers, losing to the beer makers 4 games to 3. Now this is March and those must have been some Twins-friendly dice, and of course beating the Yankees in the playoffs ... yeah .... no. I can only imagine that Buxton avoided the injured list and he and Correa powered the look-alikes to a lot of runs scored. However they did it . . . i like it!

    From the National Library of Medicine on TOS and pitching performance: Conclusion: 74% of professional pitchers who undergo surgical intervention for TOS are able to return to play at the MLB level. With regards to performance, the majority of metrics were unchanged from prior to surgery, indicating return at a similar functional level. Pitching metrics demonstrated that pitcher ERA remained inferior postoperatively compared to baseline preoperative performance (3.66 vs 4.50, p = 0.03). Fastball velocity (p = 0.94) and strike percentage (p = 0.50) were equivalent to pre-injury performance. Me: "Similar" functional level, but still reduced as far as I read it. The ERA difference seems significantly worse. Reports say Chris Archer is a "smart pitcher" and if he can figure out how to be effective post TOS , then he can help the Twins some.

    There's always "The Sandlot".

    And . . . a 14-1 pasting at the hands of the Red Sox to start the spring (we did get 2 hits though) just adds some extra juice to our current roster angst. Why do we always seem to start out like we're 2 weeks behind everybody else?

    The Yankees had seen enough of Torres at shortstop, moved him to 2B and Urshela to SS to finish last season. Manager Aaron Boone even announced Urshela as the starting shortstop beginning spring training. If we keep him, I wouldn't be surprised if he's the starting shortstop opening day for the Twins. A team could do a lot worse than having Urshela at ss.

    Kohl Stewart as a reliever could be interesting.

    My crazy hunch here is we're lining up pieces for a trade with the Marlins for one of their starters. I have a hard time picturing Sanchez and Urshela in a Twins uniform, especially Sanchez.

    Hey, has anybody done any prospect ratings?
  18. AceWrigley
    OMG . . . finally!!!!!!

    You might be right about Smeltzer having the delay benefit. Maybe he can become Jamie Moyer II.
  20. AceWrigley
    Ha, I already changed it! lol.
  21. AceWrigley
    Oh yeah ... oops.

    I'm not in favor of banning the shifts but if they do I hope they limit it to 2 infielders have to be on each side of the diamond with the limit allowing a defender to "straddle" the line between home and 2b.
  23. AceWrigley
    I think Palacios and Strotman have the most to gain from a good early showing.
  24. AceWrigley
    Go Lobos.

    We "lovingly" called him Coconut Head. When he came up to bat, we'd yell, "Hey Coconut Head!". I can't really remember why. Powell got traded to Toronto and when I went to a few games there in 1982 at Exhibition Stadium (which I always thought meant an exhibition on how NOT to build a ballpark) I informed the few fans around me that his nickname was Coconut Head, which they thought was great inside knowledge and I instructed them on it's proper usage. So he came up to pinch hit and we all yelled, "Hey Coconut Head!" You could see him pause and slyly look around like oh crap, those dudes from Minnesota are here. I think he got a base hit. Good fun.
