There was a very bad way to take that comment in respose to eating cake.

Some of the prime provocateurs of bitchin posts are silent. Some that add to the bad vibe and still posted on this thread must not realize they come off as mean and nasty and thus continue the bad...

I believe you were told top free agents wouldn't come to a last place team. That would be Sanchez and Greinke. Average like those mentioned will go for a paycheck when they run out of options.

Myers well may be within their radar. Sometimes no news is still negotiations

Pavan was a free agent after the 2010 season and resigned with the Twins. His 2010 season was very good. I believe various free agentt rankings had him as the 3 or 4 best pitcher available. His 2012...

But 2 out of 3 Benson, Hicks, Arcia >>>>>>>> Span +Revere

But it is acceptable to post sarcasm directed at each other? Derision about other posts is allowed just allowed? A lot of nasty shots were taken at Thrylos and this did not reappear, so why now?

They are two old guys who did a decent job filling their role on their ballclub. A decent trade might be send them Blackburn.

Diplomacy is good. Clever sarcasm is great. Some of the namecalling by frequent contributors with websites is appalling.

Not fleeced, but Pavano's 17-10 in 2010 is far better than anything Pino has done. Unfortunately another team did not overbid for his services for 2011.

When the people on this board start saying...

Was this guy involved with your wife whe nyou were not looking or do you just have nothing better to do than complain about the 12-13 pitcher on the roster?

Generally if the number 9 hitter on the Twins gets only three plate appearances the team did not do well that day. That is why you should be upset if the number9 hitter gets only three at bats. They...

Other teams when I looked at them had a lot of their top prospects in the low minors also. Low minor players have potential upside. The higher they go, some lose the potential upside, replaced by a...

Consider that this is Hicks first year in AA and he is hitting for neither power nor average. Benson had a horrible first half. Tosoni when up was a little beter than Clete. At AA ball, like Hicks is...

If Butera at the bottom of the order is getting 5 at bats then the Twins would have to be winnng. It is when he only gets three at bats in a game you should be complaining.

That is why managers are not GMs at the same time they manage. Poor outcomes follow.

Perhaps it is worthwile for a high ceiling prospect to jump to the majors from AA. If they work out like Mauer, great. If it works like Mourneau, Cuddyer and Kubel, that is fine They also went AA,...

It may sound odd but potential does beat out proven mediocity. What is the ceiling for Vanencia? Maybe a sereviceable inf, Not a great bat after the scouting reports came in. Oliveros? he wasn't with...

I do not recall them having much luck with Slama when he was up before. Walks galore. At the start of the season the pitchers at Rochester deserved to be there. On reason to have the retreads is that...

Considering the state of the team when he took over he can only do so much. Part of the problem is the stud player Ryan drafted in 2005 was traded by Smith. Many other draftees from 2004-2007 have...

What were you watching for the last 20 years. The Twins would have been thrilled to medocre 1993-2001, Then how many years in a row were they near the top of the division? The lousiest of the best....

You probably won't see them until 2016 at the earliiest. Worldsof potential,, long ways away. If either would have been able to make a midseaon jump then you might think 2014.

Thyrlos had a list of all of the transactions of Terry Ryan. You will notice that Ryan does not trade players like Span in season. He trades players in the year before they hit free agency. So unless...
