  1. I was already depressed because of the snow. Then I read this.
  2. Twins better do something quick. 3 games in and losing attention span. Seems like a continuation from the 2nd half of last season.
  3. I don't need to know how it's done. Some people deserve the respect they've earned. Ichiro is one of them.
  4. What? The man was a wizard with the bat, a marvel in the field, and has never been whispered in PEDs conversations. The man was known by only his FIRST name. 20 years from now when we look back at his career, we will be sad we didn't pay better attention to the incredible things he did on the field. There aren't 10 other players worthy of being voted in before him on any ballot, and I'd argue he is within the 10 best ever elected into the HOF.
  5. That is what I am hoping for. With the current run the Twins are on, we better be hoping for a playoff birth at this point. WS appearance seems like a very dim light at the end of a long shrinking tunnel.
  6. Sadly, (for the Twins) his fate will be playing out his arbitration and hitting free agency. It will have to go down as a success for finding a cheap player and maximizing his skills. Because of our newfound salary cap, we won't be able to sign him with a cheaper Julien needing 2nd. I'm not sure why but I always enjoyed watching Castro with the Tigers. He always seemed to get a clutch hit against us. I was excited to see when we had signed him and a little baffled at why the Tigers gave up on him. It is awesome to see him flourish and I hope he gets a large contract somewhere. He seems like a pretty good dude for deserves it!
  7. We don't need Pete eating what little salary we will have next year. We will put Miranda at 1st if Lewis stays healthy and will have a great infield. Pitching is still (and seems likely to always be) the weak link.
  8. Time to fire the head trainer!!! Wait, we did that last year.
  9. I used to hate everything about Trevor Bauer. However, it does seem like he has turned a corner as far as his immaturity goes. From all accounts, teammates like him, he's a hard worker, and his stuff will still play. I know he had some legal issues, but that seems to have cleared. Since he is looking for a low risk deal from a team with incentives, why isn't he an option? He could be the man we need to step into the number 2 role that Gray vacated. I know I must be missing something since no team seems to want to touch him with a 10 foot pole. At least from my limited knowledge of his situation, it appears he's paid his dues.
  10. You could throw in DeScalfani's contract as well. Maybe if we would have gotten up to 20ish million we could have considered keeping Sonny Gray. The status quo would have been an upgrade.
  11. I have been rooting for Lewis since the minute he was drafted. I still think his physical talents are not being utilized at 3rd base. With his speed and agility, SS and CF make the most sense. I don't want him back in the outfield again!!! I would like to see him at 2nd base with Correa at SS. At least he'd still be up the the middle defensively and we'd eventually have Lee who would be good to excellent at 3rd.
  12. I would like Keller as a minor leaguer who we could possibly covert to a reliever. I'm sure he doesn't want to make that transition if he's still available in free agency.
  13. I like the thought but those two salaries gone could've gotten the Twins to a range where a number 2 or 3 starter could have been had. I think the relative value to adding a better starting pitcher vs. what Anthony DeScalfani would give us would be better than the drop off between Vasquez/Farmer VS. Camargo/Lee.
