    Sanchez ain't too bad either.
  2. twinsnorth49
    I think Pressley is going to be given a better chance than both Thielbar and unfortunately, Slama, JMHO.

    This is such a no brainer, anyway you look at it.
  4. twinsnorth49
    And OBP .500?

    I'd rather see Gibson ease in as a starter in Rochester, as stated the approach for starting is different that a reliever. Let him build up his strength, work on his speeds and get settled. Escobar may buy Dozier some time to get his head straight in Rochester but realistically he's going to have to show he can handle it this year in MN, I'm not so willing to say he's going to be fine at 2B but considering his bat potential and the alternatives, they may as well try it. He's the only thing at MI I'm remotely interested in or hopeful about.

    Yep, Hendricks is my bet as well as Parms, I'll also throw out my steadfast belief that Morneau will make everybody not want to trade him by July.

    Curious that there was no mention of the large payroll drop and it being the reason most people believed this could be a try to compete year, as well as a rebuild year. He seems to place most of the emphasis for not being competitive in 2013 on the trading of Span and Revere as opposed to not bothering to try to spend any money on decent pitching and a little MI depth. The prediction for a "greatly" improved team by 2014 is drinking the Kool-Aid while wearing your rose coloured glasses. Just a poor article overall.

    There will be very few pitching mismatches in the Twins favour this year I'm afraid, certainly none in the opening series.

    Which usually only happens when one team is much less talented.

    What's your point here? You seem to have an interesting take on MLB locker room dynamics, I'd love to hear more stories about them.

    To me Morneau is definitely the kind of player that stays in Minnesota if given a reasonable offer, he has solid roots , genuinely seems to love the community and both he and his wife contribute greatly to it in a variety of ways. I also think there is some merit in keeping him, he's going to surprise a lot of people this year in my estimation and it's going to make people think twice. I get it that trading him at peak value is the optimal time to do it but the offer better be at least upper tier pitching or MI prospects or I say keep him. I agree with Seth though that if Gardy goes, I'm not sure Morneau re-ups.
  13. twinsnorth49
    Do you mean Kramarczuk's? If so,, agreed.

    Killebrew was my grandfather's favorite player and he quickly became mine, I've been a Twins fan ever since.

    First law of probability.
  20. twinsnorth49
    Pretty representative of this board a lot of days, in which I share in the guilt.
  21. twinsnorth49
    Just oversimplifying your oversimplification.
  22. twinsnorth49
    Yeah, but signing them for this year would have hurt our chances in 2015, remember?
  23. twinsnorth49
    Pitcher A, 200 IP, 7.2 K/9, 3.50 ERA. Pitcher B, 200 IP, 5.6 K/9, 5.25 ERA How is IP the most important stat here?

    Getting by with your "natural ability" is easier in high school and college, you need to develop actual technique and discipline in the upper minors and especially in the big leagues. Sounds like a bit of ego as well.
