  1. You'd think but Moustakas going to the Brewers may force Shaw to shift to 2B. Whose left? Red Sox?
  2. His birthday is in 6 minutes or Today on the East coast. I wonder if he likes his birthday present of a trade to Chattanooga.
  3. Rosario is going to know this is a fake because you spelled Thad correctly.
  4. I know the answer to this question but you disqualified me from answering it with your pre-qualifications.
  5. Hopefully it will help recruit some new members to the "Baseball Player Positional Flexibility" Club.
  6. He said "like Realmuto". You don't have to make him choose his adjectives or player representations that carefully. While my personal trust in the front office evaluations is struggling through waves right now. I'm going to assume that they liked these guys and chose them for the potential to develop so I'm hoping that they think it will move the needle down the road. If you are thinking about trading for a "Like Realmuto" type right now then yeah... of course but I didn't assume that is what he meant.
  7. Yes he did and I believe he meant it. You are kinda splitting hairs on the definition of "impact when you jump immediately to Royce Lewis.
  8. I have no idea who these guys are or what they will become but if this guy from Brazil hits his ceiling of Inciarte. Maybe we can package him in a trade for Shelby Miller in the future. Impact players don't have to be Realmuto expensive.
  9. True... But increase in quantity increases the chances that someone of quality develops.
  10. There are guarantees on Gibson duplicating, staying healthy or anything of the sort but regardless that doesn’t mean we should assume he won’t. I’m just a firm believer in letting a guy continue doing well. Trade the Free Agent club for what you can acquire and keeping building the roster in the off season. I ain’t in the mood to start over.
  11. If you feel you have a chance in 2019. You don't trade Gibson. You try to acquire more guys like Gibson or better. If you don't feel you have a chance in 2019... Then trade him but you end up jumping from window to window until you find the window that opens just right. I think the Twins have a chance in 2019.
  12. I'm Ok with Cave diving for the ball. If he makes that catch he ends the inning. It wasn't impossible to catch that ball, he just didn't make the catch. Yes the consequences were bad when he didn't make it but I'll take the guy trying to hard at this moment, with this team over the guy who doesn't. Play Ball!
  13. And he has taken over for someone injured each of those years. I’m assuming that need will never change.
  14. My desire to retain Escobar would be the same if he wasn’t having the year he is having. I wouldn’t offer him a QO but We better be a top bidder to bring him back. We need the position flexibility.
  15. http://gifimage.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/there-there-gif-14.gif
  16. I agree and I hope it is the Twins that offer that 2/20 or 3/24 and bring him back home.
  17. In late February, Brian Dozier publicly expressed that he was going to be a free agent. Since then we've had a couple TD posters take this public expression as some sort of declaration that he doesn't want to be here. These comments by a couple of TD posters ignore previous public statements by Dozier in January that he would be willing to sign an extension and saying that he wants to remain a Twin. It also ignores that the Twins didn't offer him an extension leaving Dozier no option but to become a free agent. These are big boys making big boy money decisions and it is much better for everyone if they don't make public comments that can be misunderstood and can and will be used against them in the court of social media.
  18. I think I understand what you are saying but I'm not sure "why" you are saying it. Things are time sensitive these days which will cause a variety of reactions from all of us offering opinion on it. I know it isn't our decision but we have 10 games to decide how we feel on: Do we trade Brian Dozier or do we ride his pending hot streak into the playoffs? I made up my mind on June 23rd but I'm not sure if Paul Molitor and the front office share my opinion. So, I'm OK with the additional clarity that has been provided the past couple of games if it makes the decision easier.
  19. You should probably take a look at their hands. You'll notice the blisters. They've had a strong grip on those pitchforks for awhile.
  20. BTW... It wasn't that I disagreed with your overall sentiment yesterday. Personally... I was just making fun of the way you daisy chained from the Escobar pop-up in the first inning to the end of civilization. It was all in good fun and I hope you didn't take it in anything other than that spirit.
  21. This isn't a new development. The offense has absolutely killed us this year By dropping two games in the standings immediately after the All-Star break. It should kill any lingering thoughts that the 9-2 stretch before the all-star break was a smelling salt of some kind. Make yer deals
  22. It's alright. The team is telling the front office what to do next. Make yer deals. Get ready for 2019. It's alright.
  23. Hey Now... I said 2nd Half. I did not specifically mention July 21, 2018. Doesn't anyone read the fine print anymore.
  24. I didn't realize that play in the first inning had that many serious implications.
