Two relevant things that should have probably been included are that Pinto is on the 40 and that he's right-handed, which the Twins really need at catcher. I actually doubt Herrmann will be anything...

A major reason Rochester dumped Baltimore after decades was the poor quality of teams the Orioles were giving them in the late 90s and turning the decade. The Twins were consistent winners at the...

Arcia is indeed a CF at some level. The question is how much it costs in the field compared to the improvement he brings at the plate. To me Delmon Young was almost absolutely worthless because he...

Is it to participate? Are trophies given to every player who gets in a game? To full teams? I watch the Twins, and I have a real hard time figuring it out. Now, I was really tired this afternoon...

Heh, normally I'd say wtf, it's three games (now). But his PAs aren't Parmelee PAs, he's completely overwhelmed at the plate, as evidenced by consistently letting third strikes be thrown down the...

Heh, yeah, "Gardenhire's always looked to..." is not a good way to start a point. He's never platooned. Between Ryan and Gardenhire, do not expect anything that makes sense or optimizes wins or...

Did someone expect or hope for 1.5 years from a guy on a one-year contract?

Ramirez, Deduno, Walters all present the same problem. Which other bad guy who's actually on the 40 that we're overrating because so many are so bad that we're scared to lose him can we take off the...

Being worried about the Twins having too much middle infield talent the next couple years is an indicator that we should take nothing else you say seriously. As Kwak says, Dozier won't be blocking...

Who would you rather have pitching for the Twins, Kevin Correia or Sam Deduno? My money's on the dizzy-eyed one.

Awesome. This rivals the Marquis signing. I can't think of any move that would be quite as stupid as this one. Congrats, Terry Ryan. For a moment there, I thought you had finally clued in. I now...

Baseball seems to be centerfielder-crazy right now. Ryan is right to take advantage of that.[/QUOTE]
Taking advantage of a system's inefficiencies is so...so MoneyBall.

It appears the #1 suitor for Revere is Philadelphia. The Revere thread was about Revere, so I wanted to take the discussion in another direction. They need a CF, and the FA alternatives are...

Revere does some good things, but there are reason to deal him, too. While he's a great CF range, speed on the bases, and high BA,

1. He doesn't walk
2. (redacted) Hicks, Arcia, Buxton, with...

Haven't read through the last eighty or so comments, but I just saw this tidbit out there on the interwebz:

Meyer is a Boras client.

That should tell us all we need to know about how horribly...

Keith Law is more respected than Dave Cameron? I think that is probably true among people who don't understand sabermetrics as well. In the same way Souhan is probably more respected than Gleeman.

Here's why Meyer is a much better return than Mike Leake. Mike Leake has no more upside than what he's shown, and if Meyer doesn't pan out, you can find FAs who are basically as good as Leake. Top...

I had hoped he wouldn't draw any attention prior to my draft that starts this weekend. Meyer was in my sights, and now I suppose he's in everyone else's, too.

Geez, John, Meyer is anything but a C prospect. He's the guy I was hoping we'd go for if we couldn't figure out how to pull Minor for Span. He's a B prospect, maybe a B+, according to Sickels, I'm...

Who? They have Pastornicky and Ahmed, both of whom project as utility guys. We're not getting Andrelton Simmons for Span. Dozier is absolutely just as good and maybe better than Pastornicky.

Gardenhire doesn't understand the value of true platoons, so by dealing JW the Twins could end up with six lefty bats in a row to get mown down by some chump loogy, instead of the four in a row that...

Yeah, Bauer commands Sano+. No? Then Arizona will take Bauer and easily trade him to a team with good hitting prospects. The Red Sox would easily part with Bogaerts to get Bauer. Cleveland would...

Hey, wtf?

There are probably three very distinct reasons why Molitor is "not a good fit." Either:

1. Molitor does not want to be a full-time coach. He doesn't want to travel.
2. Molitor has some...

I have this major criticism. In the Deduno blurb, you need a comma after "of" and before "well, baseball."

That's the only thing that could have made this a more cogent account of the state of...
