Guys of the scrap heap are the major reason they're on top. And Hosmer. Moustakas, Cain, Escobar, Perez and Gordon aren't the scrap heap...or Herrera, Davis, Holland, Hochevar, Ventura and Duffy. You can put Young, Morales, Rios, Orlando, Infante, Medlen, Guthrie and Vargas on that list...of course, those are also all players Hahn had equal access to sign. Ironic he was voted comeback player in the AL....the Mariners didnt try to keep him, and now they have a pitching shortage again with Walker and Iwakuma struggling and Paxton not as good as last season either.

OmarComing25 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Over the past six years nearly every guy we brought in has performed below career norms, and many of them had solid track records. Other teams pick up guys off the scrap heap and strike gold. Very frustrating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome Kinsler didn't seem to be busting it down the line...that out at 3B and then the turn to 2b seemed to take forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleHurt05 Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Jeff Passan @JeffPassan 13m13 minutes ago Jeremy Guthrie is only the second starting pitcher in baseball history to give up 11 earned runs in one inning or fewer. By any measure, today's start from Jeremy Guthrie is one of the 50 worst in baseball history. His Game Score of -11 is tied for 32nd worst.

WilliamTell Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 (edited) QUOTE (flavum @ May 27, 2015 -> 03:16 PM) Twins and Royals 28-18. Didn't see that coming. The Twins have a had a pretty easy schedule. Now the Royals are 29-18 while the Twins are 28-19. Kansas City vs. teams +.500 is 20-13 while Minnesota vs. teams +.500 is 9-11 So Kansas City has played 33 of 47 games against good teams in essence while Minnesota has played 20 of 47 games against above .500 opponents. But the Twins are winning games they're supposed to if they want to be a good team so credit to them. Anyone keep up with the Twins/Blue Jays game last night? Buerhle gave up 4 runs and 5 hits in the first inning. Then faced the minimum the last 8 innings only giving up 1 hit. Buerhle had 45 pitches after 2 innings, then only 66 the last 7 innings. Edit: Just saw the Rays are under. 500 now so that means only 17 of 47 games for Minnesota have been with teams at or above. 500.

caulfield12 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Verlander might be pitching next weekend against the White Sox. Made his first AAA rehab start and was shaky and seemingly emerged with his health...was around 92-94 consistently, topped out around 96 MPH. With Lobstein out, the Tigers desperately need more pitching with Greene and Simon inconsistent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who would have thought that entering June? Even more points for being able to name any of the Twins' starters after Mauer, Plouffe and Dozier. For predicting that Torii Hunter and Kendrys Morales would be the most important FA adds. Or that Dee Gordon and Prince Fielder would be leading their respective leagues in hitting.
