    Nick Burdi!
  2. ScottyB
    And big bodies as well - 6'6" and 220!
  3. ScottyB
    Could we make it Duensing and a C prospect? After all, lefties are such a premium. (Maybe we could get them to believe that somehow. Or maybe they are looking for a starter, I think we could make Correia available).
  4. ScottyB
    As long as we're cleaning house can we add Kubel and Duensing as well?
  5. ScottyB
    You had that pegged
  6. ScottyB
    Isn't this a Marquis-like situation. DFA Correia and bring up May or Johnson (and while we're at it DFA Kubel as well and find a centerfielder so Hicks can get time at AAA).
  7. ScottyB
    Lucas Giolito
  8. ScottyB
    They did say one of the things they were looking at was signability
  9. ScottyB
    Another Levi Michael! Just kidding - a great pick!

    I didn't need to know if the catch was at the knees or over the head, but it would have been nice to know that the catch was made. A simple - "Well, that's one down", could have clarified that.

    I have to admit, I rarely listen on the radio any more. I was driving home from work during the Kubel at-bat and had the exact same reaction as Glanzer. In fact, I had to wait until I saw the box score to figure out what happened because I got home before the end of the inning. I've never been a big Provus guy, I still wish they had signed Ryan Lefevre. He was more in the mold of Herb. Gladden is not a play-by-play guy, and not much of a color guy either. I'm hoping that when Cuddy retires he takes over for Bert on TV. I know he wants to be in the booth. I think Smalley has done a decent job. TK is interesting on his insight, but his voice will put you to sleep. There have to be other options out there. Let's get them back on WCCO and have Chad Hartman do the play-by-play and find a decent color guy instead of Gladden, like bring back Kitty.

    Please add Duensing
  13. ScottyB
    There is no question that Hicks could use some time at AAA - just as Hunter did before things clicked. But there is also no question that when Fuld is ready to come off the DL (the last position player on the current DL), the Twins need to sever ties with Kubel. At this point he is just taking up space, and clearly is not part of the future of this team.
  14. ScottyB
    TR says they are going to draft a bunch of LHP's. I didn't see many on your list. Any thoughts?
  15. ScottyB
    I could use the money.

    May and Pressly are already on the 40-man, and I'd dump Duensing before getting rid of Ibarra. Kubel, Guerrier, Burton and Fryer are definitely NOT part of the future of this team; the Yankees are looking for more pitching - maybe we could dupe them into taking Correia (and have him pitch this weekend against the Twins). Pelfrey is still injured, so we can't just dump him at this point. By the trading deadline, I'd dump a bunch of those guys. PS - Even if Santana isn't as good a fielder as Florimon, he can certainly hold his own and deserves to be on the roster the rest of the year. Maybe we can convince the Yankees to take Florimon along with Correia for Granderson (yeah I know, he plays for the Mets), but maybe if we act dumb, the Yankees would think they were fleecing us, instead of vice-versa.

    Add 3B and a little power and voila... Brandon Inge.
  18. ScottyB
    I was going to say - all the more reason to bring up Arcia, he can both hit AND pitch.
  19. ScottyB
    Fuld is actually on the 7-Day Concussion DL and was eligible to come off the DL on Thursday, May 15. Of course Wilkin Ramierez went on the 7-Day DL in May last year and didn't come back until August.
  20. ScottyB
    Hicks with a 4-game hitting streak??!! And Dozier with another bomb!!
  21. ScottyB
    Hernandez is another Joe West. He needs to have attention - not a good trait for an ump.
  22. ScottyB
    If I recall, Gardy had a talk with Morneau in 2006 and called him out publicly. Justin took things to heart and cites that adventure as the motivation to his moving on and eventually winning the MVP that season. We can only hope that Hicks takes this period to heart and turns his major league career around.
  23. ScottyB
    Re Davis - can you say Brooks Kieschnick? The only player ever to hit home runs as an outfielder, a DH and a pitcher all in the same season (for Milwaukee). It would allow Gardy to have his 13 man pitching staff and a backup outfielder who is not a shortstop. PS Gardy wouldn't have to worry about shifting Pinto away from DH. In Davis' case having a pitcher hit would actually strengthen the lineup.
  24. ScottyB
    Any truth to the rumor that Correia has the same groin injury that Pelfrey has? Let me rephrase - Could Andy arrange for the same groin injury to Correia that he gave to Pelfrey so Correia could go on the DL as well? Maybe bring up May for the rotation - since he's on the 40-man.

    With Santana now looking as a good potential SS (I know SSS, but I'm optimistic). And other options in the system as good potential starting middle infielders (including Polanco, Dozier, Rosario, Goodrum, etc.). We now officially have a new black hole. What looked like an embarrassment of riches, just two short years ago, is now our new black hole. Of course I mean centerfield. Two years ago we had Span, Revere, Benson, Mastroianni, Hicks, and Buxton either in the majors or in the pipeline. Now, Hicks is batting .160 and clearly needs seasoning (at least) at Rochester; Span, Revere, Benson and Mastroianni are out of the system; and Buxton is having wrist problems (which we all know is the nemesis of the Twins med staff - see Hardy, Arcia, Willingham, for three). This is causing people to consider moving Santana to CF, which is not really a good option. One of the biggest errors of spring was passing on Emillio Bonofacio. Now the Twins need to be scouring the wires for another option in center. The other option is to trade for someone. One name that comes to mind, who might be available is Andre Eithier. But can anyone think of any other options that we might be able to get (either major or minor league) who would be able to hit at least .230 and play good defense. Sam Fuld is fine as a fourth outfielder, but shouldn't be the regular out there.
