    Mauer is set. However, a Span/Morneau deal to TEX isnt a crazy thought. I think their best 'potential' pitcher is Derrick Holland and I would jump a shot to get him.
  2. greengoblinrulz
    Well for one they did'nt lose Carson so they can still re-sign hin to a AAA contract and add him at a later time or recall him next season if they need a 4th OF. Plus Willingham is VERY unlikely to be traded so.... all of these guys were technically sent to ROC but 5 days after WS, all 6 become 6yr minor league FAs....essentially meaning they released em all. Yes they can resign any of em to minor league deals if they want tho. Arbitration (offerred/accepted-decline) must be agreed upon 12 days after the WS also
  3. greengoblinrulz
    with 7-8 spots open on 40 man.....its still surprising that they essentially waived him. They tried to send him to ROC but didnt think he'd be claimed. Wonder if they thought there was a chance he'd be claimed if they woulda outrighted him when they didnt need to.
  4. greengoblinrulz
    5 days after the World Series....offers to arbitration players (Casilla etc), Im still not positive on
  5. greengoblinrulz
    Once Pavano hits FA/Casilla is nontendered, there will be 32 on the roster. Other than Guerra, the rest should be relatively safe. Who are the 3/4 to be put on the roster?? Gibson/Hicks are locks. Michael Tonkin looks pretty safe also, esp with a good AFL. I think they will roll the dice on BJ Hermsen & leave him unprotected. Josmil Pinto has already agreed to minor league deal. Anyone else??
  6. greengoblinrulz
    Will they sign any of these 6 released players back to a AAA deal??? Dont think so....Waldrop maybe, but there are just too many soft throwers as is, tho I LOVE his groundball rate. He is better off goin to a better defensive organization.
  7. greengoblinrulz
    Now standing at 34 players....I do find it interesting that Deolis Guerra made the first cuts. Guerra has no shot no make the club out of STraining, so why waste time/roster spot on him.
  8. greengoblinrulz
    I think the answer is "because they didn't think they would be able to give them playing time." That didn't turn out to be true, because Parmelee suffered that groin injury and then had to leave the team for a little while. It might have been fun to call up Arcia and Hicks, but I'd have trouble calling it a waste. Unless one of them walked on water and waived his hand to bring back the trees, it wasn't going to change the offseason plans. Neither was going to be slated to be a starting OFer next year. In fact, from the interview with Terry Ryan, it sounds a little like Arcia isn't a lock to start the season in Rochester. My take on it IS....not the players 'clock' per se as 30 days in Sept wouldnt change anything good or bad. Still need 2yrs 139days for arbitration 'Super 2' & 6 yrs for FAgency. They didnt want the duo to come up & have a Parmelee type Sept & screw up their plans for this year (keeping em in AAA for first few months). MN screwed up w/Chris by not starting him in AAA (more Morneau's fault really) & Ryan wants to go at his slow tortoise like pace.
  9. greengoblinrulz
    I understand.....but the stink from Billy Smith's era is still 'on' it. Just looking to rid us of all that was that era. Carlos only used one option year last season. He has 2 seasons left as a 95mph thrower.....which I guess we have too much of.
  10. greengoblinrulz
    Ryan mentioned this in one of his radio shows. I would love to look at some strikeout type pitchers like Jonathon Broxton and/or Jason Grilli Look at MN's bullpen numbers from 2012 & they were very mediocre except for ranking last in strikeouts despite being in the top for innings pitched.
  11. greengoblinrulz
    Waiving Carson again gets the question asked.....WHY was he recalled from ROC in Sept instead of Arcia/Hicks?? Complete wasted Sept with the recalls
  12. greengoblinrulz
    Once he gets healthy & a shot, I think he'll be a legit reliever for CHI.....probably next yr. Clears out the 2 first rounder misses from Billy Smith as well as Capps. Need to get rid of Blackburn & the majority of Bill Smith disasters will be gone
  13. greengoblinrulz
    I think Marcum is gonna have 5-10 teams chasing him as a 1-2 yr cheap option & that will drive up his price to 3yrs & put him 'just' out of the Twins range (which they seem to do often)
  14. greengoblinrulz
    Baker is on the Adam Wainright projection & will be ready (without any setbacks) to start opening day. He shouldnt have any innings limit either, like they'll give Gibson, as veterans generally don have em.
  15. greengoblinrulz
    I was one that was absolutely in the camp that Dunn would rebound. NOW, I would never have gambles on his 39m left on his 3 yrs but......there are some players on that list I would gamble on this winter & Ricky Romero heads the list. One bad year out of 4 would lessen what it will take to get him. Its a gamble but he's quasi-ace (at least #2 type) if he gets his control back.
  16. greengoblinrulz
    Id like to know why he thinks Pedro Florimon is a starting SS in the majors when the other 31 teams passed on a free shot at him
  17. greengoblinrulz
    Every time the Twins say Blackburns name, they hurt their credibility. They could earn more points with fans by just saying he's NOT bein invited to ST and will be AAA depth. Have my doubt that Diamond is 'truly' a guy goin forward. He definately earned the set spot for next yr, but Im still not sold on him.
  18. greengoblinrulz
    Manship is thru with this organization as he's out of options.....dont know if he'll even survive making the initial 2013 40 man roster
  19. greengoblinrulz
    Innings in 2013 for kgibson and possibly scot baket & how theyll differ as well as how theyll come to those innings. Liriano was allowed 200 innings in 08
  20. greengoblinrulz
    Terry Ryan will make a 3yr 30m offer to Mark Buehrle when he says he wont consider anything under 4 yrs. They'll offer 5yrs 100m to Johan Santana when he says he wont take less than 7 yrs. Same with Torri Hunter...offering 3yrs when he wanted 5 MN is about making just low enough of an offer to be in the arguement, but not really get serious with the player. Funny that they think that fans actuallly buy any of that
  21. greengoblinrulz
    Stunned by TR's statement of Gibson getting only 130 innings next yr after getting 70ish innings already THIS season. Where does that come from. Handling of Hicks/Arcia/Gibson just shows me that the club isnt interested in truly competing next yr....just field a team & hope for the best.
  22. greengoblinrulz
    Change to question from whether the other 29 teams woulda called up Hicks/Arcia this Sept if they had em. The AL team goin to the World Series callup up a lower prospect & has him starting in the playoffs but the worst team in the AL cant find playing time for em AND plan on having both spend the first half of next yr in AAA. This organization is emabarrasing & next yrs 90 loss team wil finally clean out the management garbage that enjoys the Carsons/Blackburn/Butera's of the world
  23. greengoblinrulz
    Said they would resign him late this summer & got destroyed on here. As offseason starts, i think many people see they will seriously explore this option. If they do, its gotta be incentive laden & hopefully a minor league deal so we dont lose a 40 man spot.....esp w/ out of option players they're currently carrying All things considered, id rather have Carl than another Marquis or any Deduno/Walters/Vasquez type. Start the season w/him and he can be released if hes not pitching well when they call up Gibson in June....
  24. greengoblinrulz
    Glad he went out on his own terms, but glad he's gone as he's one of the most conservative farm directors in baseball. Time for new blood but im sure Mn will just promote from within again
  25. greengoblinrulz
    Until Ryan signs a FA pitcher to a 2yr deal..or more..he's never done it. Prove us cynics wrong...Id love to eat crow on this but time will tell
