    It's been an absolute delight watching Liriano since he rejoined the rotation. I would love to watch him dominate the White Sox tonight. And if he's traded, he'll definitely be missed.

    I'm a little worried, but they said it was due to the heat. Probably just dehydration.

    It would be a nice gamble. Especially if we can bring him back next year for a cheap, incentive-laden deal.

    Trading Diamnond doesn't seem to mesh with the rest of the article. We're desperately short on pitching, and he's under team control for a couple years at least. Even if he's pitching over his head, he's far and away the best guy with have not named Liriano. Good article though. I'm not going to expect much, but I'm still very interested to see what Ryan can do.

    So we, as typical fans, rhetorically oversimplify the issue of the Pohlads not spending more money on improving the team. Shocker. The Pohlads are uber-rich businessmen who run a baseball team like a business. Coming out even, or taking a minor loss would not devastate them financially. As a lover of baseball, I cannot understand this, and would like to call them cheap.

    Wishful thinking, indeed. Would love to see it, though. Am I wrong in thinking the Twins payroll on the books for next year is around 65 million? I know that's without counting arbitration salaries, but that should leave quite a bit of payroll if we stay around 100 million. So.. Enough money for Greinke? Wishful thinking... EDIT: Yeah, just read Bonnes' recent payroll post. I was quite a bit off.

    I've booed one player at a baseball game, and it was John Rocker. For being an all-around terrible person. That's the only time it was ever justified. Sure, paying ticket holders have a "right" to boo, but that doesn't make it any more sensical. It's completely idiotic to boo someone who is trying as hard as they can to be the best player they can be. There is no proof that he's done otherwise. Also, I have a question. What would the Twins have done with the money saved by not paying Mauer? Signed one ace to a bloated contract? Signed a couple average pitchers? Maybe a couple average position players? Either way the Twins would still be terrible. The problem is the farm system. You can't build your team through free agency unless you're the Yankees, and even they are good at developing their own players. So if you want to boo anyone, boo the front office, the scouts, whatever. If that makes you feel better.

    Wow, very interesting stuff. Thanks for the in depth analysis.

    What the heck is wrong with you?

    What other options do we really have? Other than Dozier, who needs time at AAA.
