    Wow, Garver has doubled Castro's production of 1 HR and 1 RBI. He's got 2 HR and 2 RBI's. When you consider how many games we are into the season already, that is really sad. Only 3 runs accounted for from 1 spot in your lineup.

    Mauer has 1 thing on his mind when he goes up to bat. WALK! He's the opposite of Kirby Puckett. Puckett would hit balls for base hits that were a foot off the plate. Mauer won't swing at anything (unless he has 2 strikes on him) that is right down the middle.

    Well if that is the case I hope Mr Pohlad is going to be happy with another losing season. When a decision is made to keep players that can't perform you are basically telling fans that you don't care. I hope Target Field is a ghost town by Memorial Day.

    Let's face it. The Twins don't have a pitcher on their roster right now that can get anybody out on a consistant basis. I've seen enough of Hughes, Duffey, and Rodney and all 3 should go bye, bye. I don't care what they are getting paid, they are costing the team wins and that isn't worth any amount of money. When they go send Castro with them. I don't know about the rest of you but the Falvine experiment is starting to worry me when Castro was their first big addition to the team. The guy just can't hit, PERIOD. There's been a couple guys who he reminds me of..., John Ryan Murphy and Drew Butera. I'll take Kurt Suzuki back please. At least in his worst season with the Twins he hit .240.

    There is sooo much wrong with this team right now that it is starting to reflect badly on the Manager and Coaches. The catcher situation is terrible, the bullpen is terrible, the discipline/strikeouts by most of the hitters has been terrible.

    Wasn't a fan of signing him to start with and feel even more so now. Time to give him his unconditional release and move Reed or Pressly to the closer role. I would add Matt Crapps,, err Capps to the Jepsen comparison.

    The whole team is playing like sheet except for ... Dozier and Berrios. Glad to know that the Team has no intention of keeping Dozier around after this season. Too bad Berrios can only pitch every 5th day. NO production from half your lineup and hit and miss production from the other half, plus only 1 good starter and no bullpen will get you 100 losses again.

    Maybe you think the Twins should do a Big Papi to Boston with Sano? I envision Sano as a similar player as Ortiz. How'd that work out? Right now, I'd be more worried about Morrison being a bust.

    I vote send Hildenberger down. He's had a rough spring and could gain some confidence back in AAA. Keep Moya and Kinley on the big roster to start the season. I don't understand the whole purpose of giving these guys the chance to prove themselves in spring training, perform better than others, and then they get sent down anyway. Are all organizations like this or is it just the Twins way?

    If there is $2.5 million to throw away on Sanchez then why not use that EXTRA money that can be thrown away and add it to an offer for a good pitcher? These guys think quantity is better than quality. What a joke!

    Why are we signing Detroit Has-beens? First Rodney now Sanchez.
  12. rv78
    Guess Falvine is just really Terry Ryan in disguise. More dumpster diving. Really, what is the point of this signing? I was planning to go see them play this year but with acquisitions like this, it won't happen.
  13. rv78
    Why would a veteran DH/1B type player like Napoli even be on the radar? Just because he has some power and hits right-handed is no reason to even go down that road. We have a player that fits that mold already in Sano. Yes, it's a given he's suppose to be the everyday 3B but everything else points to him being a DH/1B. Let's forget the aging washed-up dumpster diving veterans for once. If we are going to add a right-handed bat, get someone really good or forget it. Geeze I'm tired of settling for the old cheap crap!

    I would tend to agree with this as well. Pineda won't be ready mid-season. I wouldn't break the bank for Darvish. He's just not a stud pitcher. Only threw more than 200 Innings just once in his career and gives up his share of gopher balls. Yes, he has better career WHIP and ERA than Cobb or Lynn but I think he's just going to cost too much and throw in the draft picks and he really starts to get expensive.

    Who is Joe Maier?

    If Sano, Buxton, Kepler can all improve at the plate over last year it will be HUUUGE! Less K's and more contact for all 3 of them please!

    From all of the games I watched this year, they didn't hold anymore than a lot of other teams do. Since when did grabbing, pushing, bumping and everything else DB's get away with become OKAY? With the way they "let them play" anymore, is it any wonder the refs don't know what pass interference is and what isn't? It has become too much of a judgement call and each ref has their own interpretation of what is okay and what isn't.

    Bye Bye Buddy

    I totally agree. Not a big fan of Darvish and would rather see them go after Cobb or Lynn. They will give the Twins what they need and be much cheaper. Ervin Santana was not a top pitcher at the time they signed him and he has been a solid investment. Avoid the big money free agents that usually end up in busts and go after the next tier free agents like a Cobb or Lynn. I would not be very happy if they cannot afford to spend money on some of their young talent they have now tying them to longer term contracts if they overspend for Darvish. As far as I know he doesn't come with a guarantee that he'll take us to the WS.

    Maybe No Twins GM has ever said they'd sign a top free agent but someone (The Owners?) DID say that the reason why the Twins wanted/built a new stadium was to increase revenue and that would allow them to be able to compete for top free agents. Since the new stadium has been built we as Twins fans have seen NO TOP FREE AGENTS signed. Keep waiting........ this organization is all about hype, hope and a prayer, and the level of gull-ability it can impose on it's fans. One of the usual phrases is thrown at us every year, wait till next season, we are only a year or two away from competing, we have one of the best farm systems in all of baseball and when that next core of young talent gets here......
  22. rv78
    Is there a pattern here? Rodney throws hard and has erratic control. Kinley throws hard and has erratic control...... Pineda throws hard and probably won't pitch in 2018. Okay, when were they going to improve the pitching staff?
  23. rv78
    Another bust pick just like Pineda and Rodney. Not impressed with last years additions and so far this years have been ho hum... Is Terry Ryan still running the show?
  24. rv78
    Dream on.......... This the Twins you are talking about. We just got 2 pitchers, 1 probably won't play at all next year and the other is a 41 year old wild thing. Can we say, still dumpster diving? Realmuto would be too good to pursue.
  25. rv78
    I had hoped for better....... Too old, too wild, too much of the same thing all over again.
