  1. He was fun to watch. We need more players like that.
  2. We can’t possibly be that lucky, but I would absolutely love that.
  3. May have an interesting choice to make when Abel returns if Prielipp has a couple or more good starts. Does SWR still have options?
  4. Lee, Gray, Kreidler means we have 3 utility guys on the roster with 2 of them starting. This makes me want to leave a wake up call for June when Culpepper is promoted.
  5. This is always a fun time of year when most fans still have hope and stats usually don’t mean much (but we fixate on them anyway). Today’s stat du jour is OPS. Why, do you ask? Because Josh Bell is sitting 8th in all of MLB. The only 2 other Twins in the top 100 are Royce Lewis and Matt Wallner. Will things stay that way? Of course not. Will the Twins stay above .500? Probably not. But it’s spring in Minnesota and winter was a period of time we’d like to forget. So big thanks to Josh Bell for making the grass a bit greener. Enjoy your Friday!
  6. Since I haven’t committed yet to Twins TV this year, I have to find other ways to enjoy the game. Tonight, I’ve been enjoying the heck out of this forum and trying to guess what the score might be. I just cheated and looked at ESPN…now I know why everyone seems so giddy. Keep up the stellar work!
  7. I have reviewed our projected roster and have decided I am most excited about $2 beers.
  8. Could we consider Brooks Lee to be the backup SS, and our starter TBD?
  9. Not a lot of well rounded athletes on the team, are there?
  10. Trying to get these permutations correct - if Larnach is traded, then Bell can be the principal DH, and Clemens and Caratini can share 1B. The net effect on the batting order is trading Larnach’s bat for Clemens or Caratini, which doesn’t seem better. It might even be a little worse, although that is apparently offset by better fielding. Somewhere, Jeremy Zoll has his head in his hands thinking about the fact that about 8 guys on the projected roster have indistinguishable qualities.
  11. The Braves probably wouldn’t trade for Larnach for the same reasons we want to trade him. If they call the Twins, it might be for Austin Martin.
  12. If watching baseball in the sunshine doesn’t make one think about sipping on a beer, maybe think instead about the Twins current roster construction. That oughta do it.
  13. Honestly, I’m more excited to see the Saints play this spring. The future seems much more promising than the present.
  14. And now we don’t have to rush Prielipp to the show if Rogers or Funderburk get hurt or underperform. Worth it.
  15. Outlined against a gray February sky the four horsemen of Spring Training rode into Fort Myers. You know their names…roster questions, labor unrest, payroll limits, and John Bonnes. Today in Minneapolis, we have sunshine and (relative) warmth. May it be a sign unto us all.
  16. It seems like this article could have just started and ended with “be better than Larnach”, but there’s some nuance here. Martin and Roden could be platoon partners in LF, or they could be the 4th and 5th OF if Larnach starts in LF, or if one of the kids forces their way on to the roster and into the starting lineup (fun, but unlikely). It’s a plethora of options for the Twins over the next several weeks. I just hope that we roster deserving players due to their talent level rather than their option status.
  17. Wouldn’t a long term contract for Keaschall or Jenkins indicate that we actually have faith in someone we drafted and developed? Do we do that sort of thing around here?
  18. He’s gone and I don’t care to re-litigate any further. And while I anxiously consume articles like “Just Who Is the 9th-best LF in the System?”, I acknowledge the real need to just fast forward to the day John reposts “Pitchers and Catchers Report”. Anyone else ready?
  19. At some point, they might blame the fans for not supporting the team enough.
  20. If this was a football roster, I might say we just added ANOTHER third string QB.
  21. If Jackson is DFA’d and not claimed, would he accept an assignment to St Paul? Maybe this is acceptable.
  22. Johan Santana started off in the pen. He turned out OK. Give him a shot.
