Power hitting SHOULD be valued as it's the quickest way to put runs on the board...last I checked, more runs scored generally means more wins. What I don't get, is the game has changed from the...

Agree times 100000!!!

Probably more of a mental thing than a physical thing. Yu was probably super focused on getting the perfect game as the game wore on, that there is a natural let down after giving up the hit being...

:) Beauty! Love KC as the slump-buster.

Gotcha. I was just saying in general.
Yup, adding to the win total by batting order optimization is a no-brainer in my book.

Yup. It's about expectations. Realistically, there is no way the Twins are competing for the playoffs this year.

Tough to rip Gardy on opening day...when it's 30 some degrees out. They aren't playing in optimal conditions obviously, and even though they are professionals, it's tougher to predict what's going...

Delmon Young!! Hehehehe, just seeing that name gives me hope the Tigers might choke (I know he isn't with them anymore, but any team willing to take him on isn't the brightest)

Pretty spot on, although ranking Hicks that high coming out of the gate seems a touch optimistic. (which is probably a good thing, since this team is gonna suck :) )

500 April - Nope. 500 for the season - Nope. The sentence *While the success of the team is dependent on the rotation..* says it all. They just switched bodies around, never really *upgraded* the...

Slama. It's gotta be him. When is he ever going to produce in the minors so he gets a shot with the big club?!?!?!

Kidding aside, I would envision there isn't a whipping boy because there is...

I thought he was going to playing TE for the Browns?!?!? 3B for the Indians too, love it! :)

Reading the article (specifically the game accounts), make Benson seem like a hopeless cause :)
I'd love for them to go full blown youth movement in the outfield with Benson/Hicks/Parm (until Big O...

I wouldn't fall into any of the specific categories per se, but if I had to choose, it would probably be #1. Getting a tax payer funded stadium, then only spending according to revenue streams,...

I understand there's more to player development...a player's prime years are also his age 26-29 seasons. With Sano being 21, you can develop him longer and he still won't be hitting his prime. With...

Gibson is 25. If he is close, why waste his arm in the minors? Get him acclimated to MLB hitters asap

Sorry, forgot my sarcastic font. :)

Trade him while his value is high!!!

I have found that as I continue to play baseball (over 35 league), it has reminded me how hard the game truly is and enables me to better relate to the kids I coach...I also invite them out to watch...

Chatting with yourself...there is a fine line between genius and insane. :th_alc:

Happy with that production?!?!
Estatic with that production.

Two 30 HR's guys on the same team?!?!?! Is that allowed in baseball?!?!?

Nice work overall. It'll be fun to see how close you get

Agreed. The was my initial thought....but then when I sat back and looked at it, it isn't nearly as bad as some of the contracts listed there. Mauer still produces at a high level at a premium...

Twins need hitter first. I can see it now...Floriman ripping a wicked 4 hopper to 2B...
