  1. Bremer deserves the honor. Congratulations! As for the Twins, "Well, duh!" Roy Smalley? Tom Brunansky? Sam Mele?
  2. Then we will once again truly be the farm team for the major leagues
  3. Brian Harper also needs to be brought forward - 13.4 WAR and a ring in 6 seasons
  4. Another glaring omission: Tom Brunansky (16.1 WAR over 6+ seasons)
  5. We wouldn't want that!
  6. ERRATUM - Johan Santana is IN Apologies.
  7. Laudner, not for his WAR, but for his ring, his eight-year career, all with the club, and his broadcasting work?
  8. And then there are days like today, where the guy goes 2-for-3 with a dinger and cleanly fields everything hit/thrown to him. You know there is talent in this guy and you _want_ him to succeed, which is what makes the taken third strikes and the miscues so frustrating. Will the real Edouard Julien please stand up?
  9. Well, 6 - 6 since the blow-up. Bring on the Tigers, I guess.
  10. Manager nomination: Better W-L record than Tom Kelly.
  11. Crikey! This one completely slipped my mind. Thanks!
  12. Non-enshrined top Twins players by WAR*: Chuck Knoblauch, 38.0; Johan Santana, 36.1; Roy Smalley, 23.7 Note also a number of Senators: Walter Johnson, 167.8 (!); Sam Rice, 53.8; Joe Judge, 47.8; Goose Goslin, 43.5; Buddy Meyer, 42.4; Clyde Milan, 40.1; Joe Cronin, 37.0; Cecil Travis, 30.5; Buddy Lewis, 29.4; Ossie Bluege, 28.7 Given that he asked to be traded, Knoblauch is unlikely to get a plaque. Since he earned two Cy Young awards during his time with the club, we can be certain that Santana's time will come. Johnson and Goslin ought to at least get a display somewhere on the concourse. * WAR earned while with the ball club, not career WAR
  13. Three years out of a 14-year career, to be sure, and yet his performance in two of of them were in the same class as his Cy Young and All Star years. Goltz, Zahn and Koosman wouldn't have had the seasons they had without him.
