He was playing everyday at 1B but was struggling big time at the plate as well, as soon as they moved him to DH he started hitting very well.

The reason they seemed to give at the time was the...

It was nice to see Morneau back in the field, but I imagine he will go back to DHing.
No need to rush him back into the field every day and risk further set backs.

Pretty sure it wouldn't work like that, and nobody would ever give Nishioka that much money or even close...

I'd def bring in Bowden as he would help out both the pen and potential rotation. However I will say that much like Lowrie he is a bit over-rated due to hyped up Boston prospect status, you often see...

No need to "sell" high on him this year, you can always sell higher on him next year or down the road when he has an (ideally) full healthy productive year under his belt AND someone has stepped up...

If they are "out" of it by the deadline, Pavano, Capps, Doumit, Marquis and Liriano all certainly need to be traded for anything. Pavano however might bring back a draft pick, and I think the Twins...

You always go for the best available player (unless there were sign-ability issues etc). Especially with the number 2 pick.

Bloggers for the most part don't get paid (rightfully so), or at least nothing worthwhile. Of course the top 1% can/do get paid a decent amount, but those people actually have talent and don't write...

You'd send the league leader in wins down to the minors??!?!?!11!?

Sweet! On the record? Sounds professional.

Wow, this thread, wow, just wow. Wow. Wow! Wow! Colin Cowherd wants his bit back.

So 12 months from now when the Twins fail to resign Pavano will we have a thread titled:

Why don't the Twins...

What type of league?
What type of scoring?
How many teams?
Keeper vs Non Keeper?

Jury is still out on that.

From past preformance they look pretty equal at the plate.
Cuddyer gets a slight edge for being slightly more healthy.
Cuddyer also is a least a little better...

Sweet reference bro.

I wonder if they plan on eventually giving Morneau any occasional days off as a precaution? I could see them with Mauer @ DH, Parm @ 1st, Revere in RF and Plouffe @ 2B

Who is our better option at RF/DH then Doumit? (Morneau obviously) but I fail to see how one of Hughes/Plouffe or Revere is so much better?

There is absolutely no reason to have a third catcher on the roster. Doumit plays catcher well enough to handle the back up catcher duty just fine. Putting Towles in the lineup at any point creates a...

Verlander is the rare(anymore) kind of pitchers who can throw 120+ pitches regularly and be just fine.
His velocity/effectiveness loss between pitch 1 and 120 is extremely minimal and the guy...

I don't think anyone including Ryan was actually counting on Morneau to come back and play 1st all year healthy anyways, who cares what there plan was on March 1st? By April 1st Parmelee had hit...

Doumit is starting because Gardy understands that you shouldn't react so severely over such small 15 at bat sample sizes...

Doumit has a .791 OPS over the last 5 years, please point me to the guy...

Twins clearly should have made the change last night, Luke Hughes at 1st base would have had 2 triples last night.

Weirdest SpamBot ever?

The problem with rolling with Swarzak over Hendriks at this point is that you take away potentially one of the better arms in an already shaky at best bullpen.

Yeah, I mean he could be a capable starter for a start or two, but if that point comes it means that half of our rotation options are either hurt on ineffective, things would be pretty ugly at that...

Whenever you have the opp to take the ball out of the reigning MVP's hand you have to do it. The 9th inning in 2-0 games are for closers, everybody knows that.
