    If his weight/conditioning is what's holding him down, it's not insane to hope for a bounce back, since one off-season of hard work (plus diligence after that) would be the main ingredient needed. More than 'hope', less than 'expect', I guess. Maybe Worley's feeble 2013 results will be the wakeup call to him that I choose to believe Swarzak's horseplay and broken rib was that led to the best season of his career.

    Hey, I took a shot at it. / in case it's ambiguous, what I previously quoted was verbatim from Dave's deleted post

    In a thread titled "Over moderation", I hope you notice the irony of this complaint.

    Yeah, put me down also for "anyone other than Mauer". Ye gods, he was awful back there.

    But with this much payroll space, I would turn the question around, and ask whether the argument becomes that Dunse ought not to be on the roster anymore because he's had sufficient chances and his spot should be given to someone with better upside. Then it wouldn't really matter even if it were possible to pay him league-minimum. Unless and until higher salaries are added, I can't see making money be part of any roster decisions. Just pick the 40 best guys for the protected roster, and pick the 25 best after spring training is over.

    Did you want 4 years of Jason Vargas? I don't think I'd even want 3.

    Wow, great question. Given how the team isn't currently making much use of the salary "space" they already have, I can't see trading for a lower salary (Kinsler) except if it were a starting pitcher of great talent. And while defense isn't the first attribute you look for in a first baseman I dislike Fielder's game enough to not want to make that trade either.

    Why not? They've got to try something.

    In case you didn't already ask teh google for guidance, it refers mainly to comics who go the potty-mouth route, but by extension anybody (such as myself) who can't resist making tittylating remarks: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ribaldry#Blue_comedy

    Some guys just gotta work blue. Maybe you can lobby the Twins to bring pitching coach Dick Pole out of retirement.

    Woah.

    #5 seems a bit vague to me.

    The main thing I worry about with Nolasco is that he has operated under the benefit of home parks catering to pitching, and still hasn't excelled. Target Field may also be favorable to him, but I don't see reason to think he'll suddenly be above average. And a four-year contract, which looks likely if you're going to snare him, adds to the risk.

    Could go either way on that. Meh.

    Yeah, me too. I'm with ya, Brian, unless something else comes up. Mehhhh.

    It was just a reference to Terry Ryan's quote about Correia, given your linking the two players.

    Let's see, if the posting fee for Tanaka ends up being $75M, and the Twins sign a bunch of free agents to get their budget up to $115M, they could wind up paying a luxury tax. Hey, a guy can dream, right?
