    I'm sitting here with my mouth open........there is NO FREAKING WAY!!!!!
  2. cheeseheadgophfan
    I'd rather have Wacha than Bundy or Archer......
  3. cheeseheadgophfan
    Greinke? Did you watch him pitch this past season? He is basically Dylan Bundy at this point in his career. Maybe worse.
  4. cheeseheadgophfan
    Pivot......Pivot.....PIVOT!
  5. cheeseheadgophfan
    Somebody please talk me off the ledge........

    Arraez is the reigning batting champion and was a finalist for the Gold Glove at 1st base.....doesn't that (perhaps add Balazovic) get you Lopez (not an ace, but solid #2-3)? I think we vastly underrate Arraez.

    If you have a delivery that isn't easily replicated in the first place........and then you add in a knee issue and back pain (first i've heard that with him), it's no wonder he struggled. You start to over-compensate to alleviate pain in one place and it causes another. Step one in "fixing" him would be to try to quiet his motion to lessen all of the moving parts. His windup is all over the place and it's not hard to see that he's not consistent.

    It ain't gonna happen......but this is exactly what would have been said last offseason about the Twins signing Correa......
  9. cheeseheadgophfan
    How does someone pad their stats in baseball? You either hit/field or you don't. Do you think he's just trying harder now.???? He could've hit like this all year, but just chose not to???? Silly.

    Whoa.....let's pump the brakes a bit on Steer......he's hitting .218 with a .328 OBP....we have no idea if he's a flash in the pan or a legit major leaguer. 90% of the posters on here were fired up when they acquired Mahle. Hindsight is always 20/20.

    Just goes to show what learning to hit with a wooden bat when you're are young can do for you.... Speaking from experience, it is a HUGE change going from aluminum to wood.
  12. cheeseheadgophfan
    I have a sneaky suspicion that Carlos is going to get very hot down the stretch......and we will be begging him to stay. Superstar players tend to step-up when they smell the playoffs/primetime and I believe he is a superstar.
  13. cheeseheadgophfan
    65 pitches!!!! 65 5 innings....little to no hard contact. What does it take for guy to stay in the game? Would Rocco pull Bundy if he had a perfect game going if the linuep was turning over for the third time? It's like Rocco panics after 5 when the Twins have the lead. "If Jax is perfect....if Duran is perfect....if Lopez is perfect, WE WIN!!!" Guess what? That's not always going to happen. He has absolutely no feel for the game or when a pitcher has it on a particular night. This one is all on Rocco.
  14. cheeseheadgophfan
    I believe it was on the MLB network.
  15. cheeseheadgophfan
    Is the standard for overturning a call "clear and convincing evidence?" If so, doesn't the fact that there's been sooooo much debate about this call mean it wasn't clear and convincing? The call on the field was out.....what clear and convincing evidence was there to make an overturn? I'm confused. As to the throw from Beckham? I don't think you can complain for a guy playing LF for (I think) the 3rd time.....just a sucky way to lose a game.
  16. cheeseheadgophfan
    Why not take a shot at Dinelson Lamet for a bullpen arm????
  17. cheeseheadgophfan
    Huh? Is it callous to send Moran down? Or how about Sanchez after he won a game or us last week? Are you seriously implying that the Twins should hang on to Duffey in the middle of a pennant race because he's been around for 11 years? Ugh....that's the kind of thinking that needs to go. They're paying him 3.8 million dollars this year....and he's been terrible......and it's not going to suddenly get better. I wish my employer was that callous. I guess I don't know what to say....no one has made a case why Duffey is on the team, other than he's a "good guy".
  18. cheeseheadgophfan
    If it's not Duffey, he must have some compromising pictures of Rocco somewhere......... EDIT==I now see it's Moran and I don't get it. Can anyone make a case for why Duffey should be on this team? I don't even understand the comparisons between Duffey and Pagan. I have zero problem with Pagan being the 6th inning guy. He's got stuff....can get a strikeout and (most) of his issues seem to come in 8th or 9th inning high leverage/save situations. Duffey right now is just praying for something to be hit at someone or the off chance someone will swing at one of his slurves in the dirt. IMHO he's almost unusable.
  19. cheeseheadgophfan
    Cody Lawyerson has a really funky delivery.....looks like he hides the ball real well. I can see him being a 1-2 inning bullpen arm down the road.
  20. cheeseheadgophfan
    The FO couldn't possibly say with a straight face that they are trying to win and then trade Correa. I agree that he isn't necessarily living up to his contract (at least at the plate) but you may have lost the clubhouse if he was traded. I love the moves. I think Povich has a real chance to be a good major league pitcher, but you got an all-star closer and one of the top 5 starting pitchers that got moved. A- grade at least.
  21. cheeseheadgophfan
    Is there some kind of promise that he will get a shot at the full-time shortstop position next year? I know it's a one year deal, but I wonder if that's a possibility?
  22. cheeseheadgophfan
    Winder has been shut down.....sent back for rehab work. No one is going to trade for him right now. You can't give up Miranda....he's been our most productive hitter/run producer over the last month. He's a cornerstone. I don't know if Larnach holds value while injured (hernia surgery shouldn't be a huge red flag). If Arraez can play a serviceable 2B, why isn't Polanco a trade chip? Will it screw with team chemistry too much?
  23. cheeseheadgophfan
    I would agree with you....my post was in general I would use Larnach and Winder as trade chips in any deal, even though i know this is a Montas thread.
  24. cheeseheadgophfan
    Ahhhh....good one. You got me. Rotator cuff would've been the proper term, and worse result for Winder.
  25. cheeseheadgophfan
    Larnach and Winder are the two trade chips that I'd offer. I think AK has the chance to be something special. I think Larnach is always going to be susceptible to offspeed stuff. Winder seems like he's Tommy John waiting to happen......
