I doubt that many, if any, of the Twins current MLB pitchers could comfortably throw 114 pitches in an outing. They're never asked to.

I don't know why you'd move Mauer out of his optimal spot in the lineup just because you don't have a real leadoff hitter. The idea of a "leadoff hitter" is overrated anyway. Hicks will be back...

I love the title of this article... it's so Twins. The Scoops: Twins narrow pick to college pitchers, prep outfielders | 1500 ESPN Twin Cities ? Minnesota Sports News & Opinion (Twins, Vikings,...

114 pitches? Gene Glynn might get in trouble for that...

He had a very good first half. We can't assume he would have kept up that pace if he hadn't been kneed in the noggin, in fact it's more likely he would have regressed. Morneau has a history of...

But seriously... Mauer is an elite player. Morneau was very good, but I'm not sure he ever was a cornerstone type of player.

If I was putting together a team, I think Maris and Mantle would be a great place to start.

Which trade would have been fair? The Gomez trade, or the Santana trade?
I agree that holding on to Hardy would have made the Gomez trade fair... but like I said before, it really has no bearing on...

I think Gomez has legitimately turned a corner. I wouldn’t be surprised if he winds up putting together a better career than Denard Span.
Hardy isn’t really relevant, IMO, but if you want to play...

They're busy picking their jaws up off the floor after being proven 100% wrong about Correia.

Gibson, Deduno, De Vries, and Hendriks are ahead of him on the SP depth chart.

The Twins were pretty rock-solid from 2001-2006. The experts underrated them.

It's also the reason Gardy didn't play Cuddyer in left field. He wouldn't be able to hear the CF calling him off.

I want to see Pelfrey get Fielder out too, but the manager has to realize that it's a bad matchup, especially at that point in the game and especially if Duensing is going to be coming in anyway.

Any cheap fringe player for Liriano would have made it at least a wash of a trade. The Twins had nothing to lose when they dumped him except for his remaining 2012 salary.

What I'm hearing is that it's not WAR that needs fixing so much as the defensive metrics that go into calculating WAR.

Some consistency between Fangraphs and B-R would also help.

I think that...

Doesn't anyone think that a guy with Correia's lengthy track record can suddenly emerge as a Cy Young candidate?

Me neither.

Some of it is luck and some of it is hitters who haven't seen much...

I predict that Plouffe will not last through June with the Twins. There's nowhere else to play him, he can't be sent down, and Gardy won't tolerate him.

I'm wondering where Florimon got his "defensive wizard" reputation to begin with. He's got great range and arm but I've seen far too many Casilla-like concentration lapses from him, and he...

The woeful 2011 Twins went 15-2 from June 2 through 21. I wouldn't get too excited about a 9-8 start.

About Hicks - Gardy doesn't have a choice but to stick with him. There are no other center fielders on the roster. Mastroianni is hurt, and do yourself a favor and don't look up Benson's numbers at...

Marquis got seven starts before the Twins gave him the boot.

His big numbers in the WBC and spring training were against inferior pitching to what he's seeing now, so there's that.

By my California math

That pitch was right there

Duck-fart (evidently retired by Twins braintrust)

I don't think that the majority of free agent pitchers went somewhere else because the Twins knew better than to sign them.

I'm all for an ironic Correia bandwagon, though. Pitch to contact, FTW!
