    Crazy to think about 90 when you will never come close to 80.
  2. Top Gun
    I would go 2/30 with a team option.
  3. Top Gun
    You got a half dozen OFers waiting in the wings why would you buy one.
  4. Top Gun
    I think Drew has earned his place on the team.
  5. Top Gun
    No way, Torii would never want to play for the lowly Twins anyways.

    Curt Schilling once said, “"The rotation that makes the most starts wins the division. It's that simple.” As the 2012 MLB season heads toward the juncture where contenders will separate from pretenders and the clock will inch closer to midnight for a few Cinderella stories, baseball fans will get the chance to see Schilling’s theory play out in the pennant races again. Specifically, which pitching staffs can make it through the full season both healthy and effective. There’s a good chance that we’ll look back on 2012 and wonder what could have been in Toronto (Morrow, Drabek) if their arms had stayed healthy. Using numbers from the last sixteen postseason teams, here’s a look at the durability of recent October squads. It could be an indication to which rotations are poised to finish the marathon and who is burning out their bullpen by the minute. *For the purposes of this study, the top five pitchers were determined by games started for that team. Ideally, every team would love their five best starters to give 30+ starts and 200 innings apiece. The closer to 150+ starts and 1000 IP out of the group, the better the chances at postseason ball seem to be.

    Denard Span is back in the Twins' lineup Sunday after exiting Saturday's game due to dizziness. The dizziness was especially a concern given Span's prior concussion issues, but evidently it's no longer an issue. Span is batting .276/.342/.378 over 86 games with the Twins this season.

    Senior cruve was a pretty good pitcher. I remember him well.
  9. Top Gun
    A ton of what?
  10. Top Gun
    Just like I said they got Duensing wrecked for the rest of the year.

    Yahoo has Parmelee at 1b?
  12. Top Gun
    Twins placed 1B Justin Morneau on the paternity leave list. Morneau will be away from the team for the next 24 for 72 hours, as expected. Chris Parmelee is being promoted from Triple-A Rochester in a corresponding move.

    I will take the I will take the Royals! They will be a playoff team in the next 5 years, maybe as early as next season. The Twins will be cellar dwellers for the next 5 years with no hope of winning.

    Twins can't even make a attempt to offer Liriano half that. Maybe they should just sign Moyer!

    ESPN's Jim Bowden reports the Phillies and Cole Hamels are working on a long-term extension "which could end up" in the range of six years and $142-144 million. This is considerably higher than the six-year, $130 million contract that was reported earlier this week. The Phillies have intensified their efforts to sign Hamels, though it's not yet clear if this would be enough to get it done. The reported offer would pay Hamels significantly more than the $127.5 million extension the Giants gave Matt Cain earlier this season. Source: Jim Bowden on Twitter

    Why would you let your best pitcher walk? Just plain stupid!

    Twins prospect Carlos Gutierrez underwent successful arthroscopic shoulder surgery on Friday. Dr. Lewis Yocum performed the procedure, and noted that it went very well. He'll likely be sidelined for the next few weeks before he's able to begin to rehab the injury. It's unlikely he'll be available for a promotion to the Twins until rosters expand in September.

    Trevor Plouffe left Friday's game against the Royals with a bruised right thumb. Plouffe suffered the injury when he was jammed on a pitch. He went 0-for-3 with a strikeout before exiting. Consider him day-to-day for now. Source: Rhett Bollinger on Twitter

    Maybe Gardy will tell him to shove it!

    Rockies acquired LHP Jonathan Sanchez from the Royals for RHP Jeremy Guthrie. It's a swap of bad contracts that makes sense for both sides. The Rockies receive $1.1 million of salary relief, while the Royals might actually be upgrading their sorry rotation with the addition of Guthrie. It's not clear if the Rockies plan to put Sanchez in the rotation or in long relief.
  21. Top Gun
    Another 5 years!
  22. Top Gun
    Ya, we all know that.
  23. Top Gun
    Poor managrment by the manager! It's all Gardy fault, I think he doesn't care anymore, and it's getaway day.
  24. Top Gun
    Talk is cheap, he has done nottin yet!
  25. Top Gun
    No way in hell will you be able to sign him in the offseason!
