Look at Ray Ray Run Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 On 4/27/2021 at 11:32 PM, ChiSox59 said: I won’t be too torn up if AV spends a month or so in AAA. I agree he should be playing most everyday if he’s on the mlb roster, and I by no way think he’s received enough PT/ABs. But once Engel is back we can make it work for a few weeks and hopefully let AV get hot in Charlotte. There are other potential benefits, too. Expand As shown in this thread, vaughn has an 830 ops since his first three games and an 850-860 in his past 5. Im not sure how much better you're expecting him to be? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capn12 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 This looks like a game we should win without much effort, so I'm guessing........ 2-1 in 12 innings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 When do we start rooting against CLE? Looks like they will be .500, Twins at -8, but still a long ways to go.

caulfield12 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 (edited) If the Twins get buried early, they're really going to be stuck in the middle about trading guys like Cruz, Maeda, Simmons, Donaldson (that would take some money going the other way in subsidy)...and especially maxing out the return for Buxton/Berrios. We're still two months away from those decisions, but they're definitely a team that was set up to be "all in" in 2021/22. Just don't see how they could possibly pull off a "retooling on the fly" approach. For every example like Astros from 2005 (15-30), the Nationals in 2019...one of those Cardinals teams that finished 4 over or even the 87/91 Twins, those are pretty anomalous situations and certainly can't be counted on. Maybe ONE team in the majors every five years pulls that off. Maybe the A's this year, for example, that started 1-6 or 1-7, whatever it was.
