Mackey is talking about it right now on 1500ESPN.Quote:

Let's hope he is smart enough to move on this winter, I'm assuming he is a minor league free agent this winter.
It doesn't appear he has been treated fairly by the Twins for a few years.
He won't get his chance here. As a minor league FA, it would be foolish for him to resign with the Twins. I don't understand why they wouldn't have just cut him if they had no intention of giving him an opportunity with the Twins.Quote:

Just a reminder - we have about 22 hours left. The deadline is 2:00pm Wednesday. Sign up if this is a petition that interests you!
what happens at the deadline?
I would hope Terry Ryan wouldn't make decisions based off of 30 signatures from a bunch of pissed off fans on a message board... good lord, this is quite embarrassing. Put me down as a no.
2:00pm on Wednesday is the last chance to lend your name to this petition and the petition will then be sent to Terry Ryan.Quote:

That's either the early-afternoon Smirnoff talking or someone who embarrasses quite easilyQuote:

I would think that taking a chance to address a group of passionate and fairly well educated fans is a good way to keep people interested and supportive in a rough patch for the team. Understanding how/why certain decisions are made is not a huge thing to ask. And I think it is good business.
Put my name on it.
Yes, let's trust the Twins to subjectively evaluate another player based on a couple of innings of spring training instead of two years of undeniable success in AAA.Quote:
