  1. Maybe he's just going to be the Designated Umpire Arguer....
  2. In related moves.... - Jason Bartlett has been hired as clubhouse dance party DJ - Nick Punto has been hired as a special scrappiness instructor - Jason Kubel has been hired as a special fielding consultant for Miguel Sano
  3. I guess we need to rebuild the pitch-to-contact element of our farm system.
  4. If Plouffe were to be out for an extended period, the two best* 3B the Twins have are Sano and Nunez. What choice do they have but to play Sano there at least periodically? * - Using the term "best" as loosely as the morals of Johnny Manziel keg party
  5. My guess is that as soon as Santana is ready, Plouffe goes on the DL. Nunez will start at 3rd and hopefully he keeps swinging a decent bat.
  6. Would it be insane to have him hit leadoff?
  7. Sometimes I just resort to this....
  8. Just using sarcasm as my coping mechanism....
  9. I'm amazed Mauer is even in the lineup...day game after a night game and all....
  10. Hawk's best home run call ever was when Thome hit the walk-off in 2010 and he went silent for 68 seconds.

  13. TWINS TO PARTNER WITH XCEL ENERGY FOR NEW SUSTAINABILITY INITIATIVE Target Field to be MLB's only sustainable ballpark by June 2016 From Wire Services MINNEAPOLIS, MN -- The Minnesota Twins announced an initiative in conjunction with Xcel Energy to install an fully operational wind farm beyond the center field wall in Target Field. Upon opening in 2010, the center field wall included several evergreen trees which were subsequently removed due to complaints that such a natural setting was distracting to the batter's eye. The windmills, which will be painted white, will provide a permanent visual experience for fans and players alike. Coupled with it's first-of-its-kind rainwater recycling system resulting from the team's partnership with Pentair, a worldwide leader in water solutions, Target Field is expected to be fully sustainable by early June 2016. At a strikeout rate of 11.3 per game, Twins management expect the repetitive swings and misses should generate enough wind to power the entire stadium for the remainder for the season. "Should we fall below that average" indicated Team President Dave St. Peter, "we are prepared to call up Adam Brett Walker and Kennys Vargas to start in Left and Center Field, respectively". St. Peter also disclosed that the wind farm can be run in reverse for whenever Phil Hughes has a home start. When reached for comment, Twins television analyst Bert Blyleven added, "Why don't they add some [redacted] tulips so I can pretend I'm back in Holland whenever Byung Ho Park comes to the plate?"
  14. Also, don't forget that Perkins will "rehab" this injury until August, when after two separate setbacks in AA rehab appearances, he'll undergo surgery that will put him on the shelf until the 2017 All Star Break.
  15. This is spot on, except that I would try to get Plouffe some reps in RF. I would say get Mauer some reps in RF, but God forbid we sacrifice the Baby Jesus for all the sins of the front office.

  17. But....But....He's had success in the National League....
  18. Alright.... Plouffe, Nolasco and Polanco to the Padres for James Shields and Derek Norris. Go!
  19. Escobar's long term role should be a utility player, however, in the present he provides the most value as the starting SS, And, if viable options do not present themselves in the off-season, he can adequately fill the role at SS as a stopgap for a full season, or at least until the trade deadline, in 2016.
  20. Wimmers has pitched quite well in his last 10 outings, 9 of which appear to be out of the bullpen. Does he have the potential to contribute as a long reliever in 2016?
  21. Was there a 40 man roster move related to Cotts?
  22. Perhaps that's why Graham didn't come in to an 11-1 game last night?
  23. His profile on MiLB.com says 6'2, 195. Based on the way he's described on this board, I was expecting to see David Wells type measurements...
