I am not really that concerned that the Twins' number 4 or number 5 starter (if it all goes well in ST and these guys heal properly) will not be ready by opening day ;)

 

In my book, Diamond is behind Harden, Gibson, Pelfrey, Worley as far as capability goes, thus the #4 or #5 designation... Just a matter of having those 4 guys healthy...

I agree but that's an awful lot of mattering.

Agreed. And all of those guys have ?s. Potentially none of them will be ready be opening day and we will see a DeVries, Deduno, Vasquez, Walters, Hendriks rotation to start the season... sounds familiar?

Snooze you loose... I really wanted to be the guy who brought up Neil Diamond... I can't step away from this site for a second.

If you have testicles you shouldn't be able to hit C5, pitcher or catcher?

 

I hate to break this to you... But... Anyone who sings the song "You Don't bring me Flowers"... It's pretty clear... Does not have Testicles...

 

The lower range of his vocals only give the illusion of testicles.

 

Check under his pants... They ain't there.

 

BTW... I checked under Barbara Streisand's pants... She didn't have any either. I rest my case!

Cheer up, at least the title of this post starts with Neal Diamond.

 

On days he's not pitching maybe he can sing Sweet Caroline at the stadium

LOL... The Neil bit was obvious and all but... But shouldn't we really be discussing Scott Diamonds Testicles?

Its already starting to sound like last year and we haven't even started spring training. We already got 4 pitchers coming off surgery and are various stages of recovery. Corneia like Marquis trying to transition to AL and even worse is he's signed for two years. One pitcher already that could go on DL from injurty. All we need now is start to have few position players injuries and we could see the Twins fighting Houston for the worst record in baseball. I I hate to say it but 100+ loss season looks like its coming.

Why are the Twins so awful at timing these things? Honest question....why aren't these surgeries or medical treatments happening in October rather than December? It reminds me a lot of Mauer's thing from two years ago.

Well, that is a bummer.

 

Marcum, Lannan, Bedard, Francis, and now Saunders (who I admittedly didn't like, but....).... all cheap one-year deals that the club passed on.

 

And adding further insult to self-inflicted injury,

 

Todd Redmond would have been an awfully cheap insurance policy (could have gotten him cheaper than a Businessman's Group Lunch Special) and would have likely quickly moved towards the head of the class on the Twins alleged depth chart of AAAAs.

Yeah, but signing them for this year would have hurt our chances in 2015, remember?
