    An awful lot of hard contact that inning. Gives me concern about Mejia going through this Yankee lineup a third time.

    Makes me wonder about the AAA infields. Are they like rock hard and Granite's ground balls are getting through? I'm sure somewhere there is data about his average launch angle in AAA. My guess is real low.
  3. yarnivek1972
    If you have runners at second and third with one out and the top of the order due, you better get at LEAST one run.

    Would the Yankees have interest in Vargas or Park? Either would likely be an upgrade. Probably just get Jim's favorite return in trade: $$$

    Are Bremer and Blyleven really this dense? They understsnd that activating Colon will require a 40 man move, right? It won't be Granite or Vargas. They could activate and immediately DFA Breslow. DFA Belisle. Couple guys down in AAA could be DFA. Turley maybe. It almost certainly will be a pitcher.

    I don't know why they aren't hitting and running with him. How many times has he actually swung and missed?
  7. yarnivek1972
    He can't be much bigger than Vargas.

    Suspect? 4th best team ERA in MLB. Twins are 27th, a full run higher. Cleveland's offense has been what has held them back. That said, they are in far better position than the Twins because Cleveland isn't overly dependant on one guy. The Twins are a Sano hamstring pull away from their offense being shot.

    Twins still lost one of the games where Houston was not very good offensively. And Houston is likely to get Kuechel back early next month. They won 6 of 7 against the Twins without him.

    I wouldn't call 4 runs and 10 baserunners in 6 IP "shutting down" the Astros. Frankly, Houston had a couple bad days offensively. 2017 is not the Twins year IMO.

    Not only did the Yankees play two today, they played 16 innings Saturday. Their bullpen has to be pretty gassed.

    ...and Radke retired 11 years ago.

    There's "veteran" and there is "washed up". One is useful. One is not.

    Actually, it could be must see TV. For individuals overcoming addiction, for example, it is said that they have to come to a realization that they have hit rock bottom before things can turn in a positive direction. That could very well be what Tuesday is for the Twins. Sending a 44 year old with an ERA north of 8 this season to face one of the best offensive teams in the league sure seems like it has the potential to be rock bottom for the Twins organization.

    Castro. Giminez.

    Maybe it doesn't alter their long term strategy but it certainly will affect the Twins. A division rival is stockpiling elite controllable talent. That is certain to affect the Twins in some way over the next 6-10 years.
  17. yarnivek1972
    Maybe Colon just can't get it up anymore. I've heard that can be a problem with older guys. Hey! Minds out of the gutter! We're talking release point here.
  18. yarnivek1972
    Could be worse. The Twins could face the Yankees in July too. Oh wait...
  19. yarnivek1972
    Yet another example of what big revenue will do for a team. The Red Sox can afford to pay Sandoval $ 40 mil to not play for them the next 3 years and not blink. The Twins can't do that with Hughes. They have to try to get some use out of him.
  20. yarnivek1972
    I agree with h2oface. We don't need to make excuses for Colon. He doesn't have it anymore. If Falvine bring him up after that disaster of an outing, they desrve all the second guessing that has occured on this forum and others.
  21. yarnivek1972
    Wouldn't Sano be the logical replacement at 1b? Of course, that leaves them with no one at 3b. I don't know if he would be up for it, but perhaps Dozier could be extended and slide to 3b. Still leaving Polanco and Gordon for the middle. Or Blankenhorn maybe. Jury still out on his upside. He also might not be ready by 2019.
  22. yarnivek1972
    He lacks range, but he has been pretty good at third IMO. If he played there regularly, I suspect he'd be more than adequate at first.
  23. yarnivek1972
    The way I read it, Santana has to throw 200 innings in 2018 AND 400 in 2017-18. Which would mean that if Santana reaches 220 this year (which he could) he would still need 200 next year, not just 180.
  24. yarnivek1972
    Another item your "opportunities" number doesn't take into account is that Buxton has gotten on base at a slightly better rate vs lhp, which are much harder to steal off of.
  25. yarnivek1972
    Well, he's got to be almost as old as God...
