  1. Not worried yet but you are right that it is not a good start. Hopefully Buxton and Polanco just being cautious. Glad we have depth. Keep reading posters who want to trade Farmer or Kepler. Just say NO
  2. Polanco is not that good defensively and we have other players who can play 2B. It does make sense that he DH more
  3. Seems like many posters are overlooking that we do not have a DH this year. Gordon will get plenty of AB's as we rotate at DH. The acquisitions this spring should only reduce Gordon's Ab's versus left-handed pitching. Seems fine to me.
  4. Larnach goes to the minors if everyone is healthy, He will play everyday until needed. That leaves 13 hitters on the 26 man roster. Two catchers, Kiriloff, Polanco, Correa, Miranda, Kepler, Buxton, Gallo one of these will DH or play the field so a regular can DH - Farmer, Solano, Gordon, Taylor. Facing RH starter probably Gordon main DH Increases our depth and gives us more flexibility to pinch hit for Kiriloff and face lefty starters and play 1B when Kiriloff is hurt. If Kiriloff is out and Twins need a lefty bat they recall Larnach. These moves may be a reaction to the minor league we trotted out last September when we could have been in a pennant race. I think this move makes a lot of sense.
  5. Not only do I not want him. I do not think he will ever be as good as he was. I always felt he was a bit overrated.
  6. What about trying to resign Rogers now? Value has to be low and I agree with Doctor Gast that he was mismanaged in San Diego. He would pitch multiple days in a row and had several outings over 1 inning. Off season he should be refreshed. He is miscast as a closer but could still be a solid late inning reliever if you manage his usage.
  7. Isn't this the pitcher we were hoping to get from the Dodgers in the Dozier trade? It just took awhile to pick him up.
  8. Thanks for the article. You did a lot of research. You pointed out Jeffries versus the lefties and Vasquez versus righties makes sense. I am guessing that is how they convinced Vasquez that he will be the main guy. That and $30 million.
  9. Starting to feel like Royce Lewis AFL season. Just hope it continues. How has he looked at shortstop?
  10. Can they piggyback Archer and Sanchez when Mahle comes back? Try and save the bullpen a few innings
  11. Rogers gave up a run tonight. His is 3.86 also. He got his 28th save
  12. I like having Gordon on the team. If he is ever an everyday starter I think something has gone wrong.
  13. We need more articles like this. Gordon just hit his first home run
  14. Doc, Are you going this week to the Saints - Stormchasers? I should be there Friday, Saturday and Sunday but will miss Balazovic
