    Hey Vanimal, I'd help you out with this one but I'm busy relaxing before my tee time. http://img.thesun.co.uk/aidemitlum/archive/00599/SNN2904B-682_599575a.jpg

    Personally I'm not bent out of shape or critical of the trade based on who the Twins gave up, I was bent out of shape that this is all they felt they needed to do. Whether the Twins end up winning or losing in this trade down the line is irrelevant to me, the fact they viewed adding Jepsen this year as a win and left it at that was disappointing.

    As excited as I am to see Buxton again, I'm sorry to see Hicks out, I was really enjoying watching him play the last while.
  15. twinsnorth49
    Here hoping!! I put my pitchfork back in the garage and extinguished my torch, just want to see some good baseball. Is that too much to ask? Go Sano! Go Twins!

    Hopefully they find a way to jettison Nolasco, and Pelfrey should be gone as well. I think Hughes will bounce back next year and I don't think Santana is as bad as we've seen, although he doesn't thrill me. If they can manage to assemble a rotation of May, Berrios, Gibson, Hughes and Santana, things should be better.
  17. twinsnorth49
    Pelfrey? Pulling May out of the roation when his peripherals were the best on the club? The Nolasco deal? Yes our starting pitching was better than average in the first half but there were many indicators it wasn't going to sustain itself, even more so with the pen. Buxton should have remained with the Twins and a reliever optioned or released, at the very least it puts a capable player on the bench. Whatever he needed to get back up to speed on could have been done in Minnesota imo.
  18. twinsnorth49
    It wouldn't have cost anywhere near any of those three to improve the pen. On another note, you can't keep every prospect hoping someday he turns into a MLB player, just isn't going to happen.
  19. twinsnorth49
    Self inflicted by the May spot start, followed by a planned short start by Duffey, followed by a BP start. This team has had an 8 man pen for the better part of the year and for the most part it's been unnecessary, but I guess if pointing to a lousy rotation is your defense of it, ok then, score one for TR. To add, if they didn't feel the need to cart around an 8 man pen, there might actually be room for Buxton and Robinson on this roster. As has been stated ad nauseam elsewhere, there is plenty of playing time between Hunter and Mauer days off for Buxton to get plenty of playing time every week. At least, there should be.
  20. twinsnorth49
    Who said anything about trading away all your chips? Did you see what quality relievers went for at the deadline? Some might say a lot less than we even paid for Jepsen.
  21. twinsnorth49
    I think it drives as many people away having to listen to people constantly defend a FO with the track record this one has had the last 5 years. It's unfortunate any people decide to leave this site because a particular viewpoint doesn't fit their own, there is lots of sound, solid discussion that goes on here, maybe people just have to have a little more conviction in what they think and allow others the same courtesy.
  22. twinsnorth49
    But 13 pitchers and Shane Robinson is sound judgment? Got it.
  23. twinsnorth49
    Actively trying to lose and not doing anything to actively try to win are two different things, I think the Twins FO are guilty of the latter........ and possibly the inept part.
  24. twinsnorth49
    It also meant they were willing to go with Hicks/Robinson/Rosario or Hicks/Robinson/Hunter half of the time, which makes more sense how exactly? How in the name of progress did it take an injury to Hicks for Buxton to be suddenly ready to be with the big club? Good grief.
  25. twinsnorth49
    Good thing Mollie didn't waste that K last night on A-Roid.
