    The impression that I get is that Molitor thinks that May is a reliever only. With the same manager I expect the same role for May. The fifth starter will not be Berrios. So I guess it's Haley or Vogelsong.
  2. Boom Boom
    What was the projection last year?
  3. Boom Boom
    Joe Mauer a leader? I think that's implausible at this point.
  4. Boom Boom
    I don't think the Twins will come out of the gate with three catchers. I also predict that the backup will be Gimenez.
  5. Boom Boom
    I agree with those saying that D. Santana should be removed as well, but that seems like a different issue to me. It won't change my opinion that Park also should have been removed.
  6. Boom Boom
    I like this move. I had seen enough of Park in South Korea before the Twins ever signed him to know that his one skill wouldn't carry over to MLB.
  7. Boom Boom
    Joel Zumaya?
  8. Boom Boom
    I think it's fair to expect improvement from the younger players. I think it's also fair to expect significant regression from Dozier and E. Santana.
  9. Boom Boom
    I like the warm fuzzies as much as the next guy, but I want to see Falvine and Levey do something not so "Classic Twins." There's got to be a former Twin out there who can come out of the bullpen, right?
  10. Boom Boom
    This is a big reason why I'd like to see the Twins be more proactive with roster moves. I think it's a good idea to periodically call a guy up from AAA for a spot start just to give the rest of the rotation a rest. In the past they've mostly done this just in response to an injury.

    No, Dozier for De Leon doesn't sound like a fair trade to me. However, the general lack of interest around the league plus the Dodgers' allegedly "meh" offer for him tells me that Dozier is not as highly regarded around the league as he is by the Twins faithful. I mean, if you really think the Dodge was trying to put one over on us, how come some other teams didn't try that?

    The winner of the Brian Dozier sweepstakes is.... the Twins! Whoo! We did it!
  13. Boom Boom
    Regarding trade rumors, especially those involving the Twins, I would say the safe money is on no trade at all. No way Kinsler costs as much as Dozier, and no-trade clauses don't mean much. I doubt Kinsler and his agent would veto a trade from the Tigers to the Dodgers anyway. The Dodgers have the resources to look elsewhere for now and make another move later if necessary.
  14. Boom Boom
    I like how the Dodgers are playing this. They don't need Dozier nearly as much as the Twins need pitching. And with no other teams at the table, why would they raise their offer?
  15. Boom Boom
    I see what you're saying, but if Hughes is throwing 88 in Spring Training, we will be told that Spring Training numbers don't matter. There was some concern about Glen Perkins's diminished velocity in ST last year. Perk told us he was fine and don't worry about it.
  16. Boom Boom
    I expect him to be playing less. Two days off per week and more than that later in the season. Mostly only home games and even then as DH.
  17. Boom Boom
    My list might be different, but I'm not personally offended due to having "fly-over country" sensibilities. I also won't rip ESPN for their list or assume some kind of collusion between them and the Dodgers. Minnesota fans are so sensitive.
  18. Boom Boom
    It's clear that, besides the Dodgers, there is no interest in Dozier. And LA is only lukewarm to him - apparently they're just fine looking elsewhere. I'd like to see more than De Leon, but if the Twins want to maximize Dozier's value, I say make the deal. He's not going to have more value at the deadline, and my intuition tells me that 2016 will be his best year as a pro. If the Twins aren't going to sign him to a long-term contract, this is the best that they can do.
  19. Boom Boom
    The Twins need to get more than De Leon for Dozier. They are concerned about fan reaction to a trade of their best player after a horrible season. The Dodge know that there are no other serious suitors. They like Dozier, but not so much as to sell the farm for him. There are other teams they could trade with.

    "Seasons in the Sun" - Terry Jacks "How Long" - Ace "Bang a Gong (Get it On)" - T.Rex "The Boys are Back in Town" - Thin Lizzy "Welcome Back" - John Sebastian
  21. Boom Boom
    I'm not convinced Dozier gets traded. Maybe it's because I'm not used to the new FO, but I can't see the Twins trading Dozier until the waiver deadline of his last contract year, and at his lowest offensive point.
  22. Boom Boom
    Rondell White... the guy who, after starting out terribly as Twins DH, convinced Gardenhire that if he had a defensive position he'd hit some. So Gardy, of course, put Rondell in left field and Jason Tyner at DH. Because, you know, if you're going to have two bad hitters in your lineup you should also roll out your worst defensive alignment. And after all that nonsense in '06, Terry Ryan brought him back. Rondell blew out a hamstring stepping out of the dugout, and the rest is history.
  23. Boom Boom
    Hughes? I thought he was recovering from unilateral arm amputation or something.
  24. Boom Boom
    I think the Strib's coverage of the Twins has improved since Christensen isn't covering them anymore, who I felt was too cozy. Neal is OK. I do get bugged by the bandwagon columns of Souhan and Reusse, which seem to always be either heaping praise or ripping to shreds with no in-between. I'll agree with the general sentiment that the PP does a better job of covering the team, at least from a beat perspective.
  25. Boom Boom
    The Rule 5 draft is full of guys who have yawn-inducing stats... that's probably why they aren't on their team's 40-man.
