    I saw Happy Gilmore 2 last night, which has added a number of colorful expressions to my already expansive list when I play golf. Don’t make me use them on my beloved Twins. No means no.
  2. Brett
    I don’t understand why Keirsey is on the roster over Martin. I know the base stealing and a few innings of superior outfield defense part, but his bat is way under par. Maybe the 26th man role doesn’t mean as much when you’re not on track for the playoffs.
  3. Brett
    Only if we get a catcher. Not sure the Jays can meet that demand.
  4. Brett
    If I follow the thought experiment part, then we would have to assume that SWR, Festa, and Zebby all stick in the rotation and that we would also trade Larnach or Wallner and not te-sign Bader. Feels like several leaps of faith, including Ryan not winning the Cy Young in the next couple of years. i also think we have a pretty sweet OF pipeline. If we’re going to swing big, would we be looking for a catcher?

    Saw Candalerio and wondered the same thing, except he hasn’t been hitting either. Also, not sure if he can pitch as much as Bride has, and just writing this makes me want to go lay down.
  6. Brett
    No, should have added context… I had such hope for this year. Where I had hoped to be at this juncture (looking for a roster need for a playoff run) versus where we are (picking up someone “to fill the AAA rotation” because we’re burning through starters and we actually might need to run him out for a few starts in the bigs) has been exhausting. Are we that bad? Are we mismanaged? Are we cursed? At any rate, that is the future I weep for. The one where Byron Buxton becomes Mike Trout…a glorious player who doesn’t see the playoffs.

    I weep for the future.

    Jonah Bride has thrown more pitches than anyone else in the bullpen in the last 5 days. If someone could give me a silver lining to that, I would appreciate it.
  9. Brett
    Replacing Pablo with Festa will create additional strain on the bullpen while he is out. Subtracting Duran creates less space for error, unless the bat returned in a trade gooses the entire offense. Not sure who that would be, though.
  10. Brett
    Honestly, it’s like no one has seen “Major League”. Put some Ricky Vaughn-esque glasses on Festa and let’s go!
  11. Brett
    Raise your hand if you thought Buxton would start in CF for 10 games in a row at some point this year. I surely did not, especially to start the year when every game is cold. I appreciate reading about the metrics and the positive signs, but faith is hard to quantify. I believe he’ll be leading the team in home runs by the end of April.
  12. Brett
    If any of Buxton/Wallner/Larnach/Bader gets hurt, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Keirsey get the call instead of Martin. Or to see one of them get traded if Rodriguez looks healthy.
  13. Brett
    Nick, any rumors about trading some of our young hitters for Locutus? We could use a real clubhouse presence like that.
  14. Brett
    With 6 pitches, will his catcher need both hands to call pitches?
  15. Brett
    I would go with letting our young players who have had some success have a crack at a full-time spot rather than some fringe roster vet who hasn’t shown much.
  16. Brett
    Seems like he’ll join Severino, Keirsey and McCusker as guys who won’t get a real shot in a Twins uniform. I’m sure there are teams out there who they will have a chance with.
  17. Brett
    Castro was more Rocco’s MVP than anyone else’s. He was the Swiss Army knife who looked so good for 3 months, that he kept appearing in the lineup even when his performance tailed off. Nick Gordon had one good season, too. Al Newman had a couple. But these guys will be his compares, not somebody like Ben Zobrist. Castro is a nice piece on a playoff team, but he shouldn’t be a centerpiece.
  18. Brett
    I’ll take the over since no one has gotten hurt yet.
  19. Brett
    The top 3 have 172 AB’s combined in the bigs. I just hope it works out.

    I respectfully disagree with your view of this site. In the last 12 years, I have read the front page stories nearly every day. While I don’t comment often, I do like to read stories and comments from the greatest Twins fans on the planet. All of this is to say that this site takes a village every day, and posting content sometimes requires courage more so than skill or experience. I posted a single blog a couple of months back, and I was sweating bullets over how it would be received. With all of that stated, I would like to propose a Caretaker Takeover. We write the stories, moderate the communities, and manage the associated madness that comes with it. Writers and moderators get the day off…unless they want to read up and comment away. If you made it this far, thanks for your attention. Have a great day.

    A move for Cease indicates the front office going into “win now” mode, rather than our current view of “let’s see what the youngsters can do on their own.” I would also be interested to see how much the loss of Vazquez affects the pitching staff and our overall defense. BTW, shout out to our friends at FanGraphs for showing our DH depth chart as “Bunch of Dudes.” Both accurate and funny. My kind of people.
  22. Brett
    Vazquez and one of SWR/Festa/Matthews for Cease. Done. Somebody get me AJ’s number.
  23. Brett
    What I want: let the kids have shot - Miranda and Julien in this case. What the Twins will do: sign Tellez. I can actually feel this happening and I don’t like it. Or it’s gas. It could be gas.
  24. Brett
    How about Castro for Pablo Aliendo? Maybe a half season at St. Paul and then bring him up if we deal Vazquez at the deadline.
  25. Brett
    I’d wait a year to see if he can be more consistent. Locking him in for 7 or 8 years right now doesn’t seem wise with our payroll constraints.
