    Great player on the field, great teammate on the field, disappointing human off the field with his countless bigoted acts.
  2. DaveW
    Honestly, he is so good on TV and in any interview, I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up on ESPN, TBS, MLB network or Fox in the next couple years.

    Retirement is always a touchy issue at times for once great players (make no doubt about it, Hunter was a great player, not hall of fame great, but one or two thresholds below and will go down as one of the best 10 players or so in this franchises history) But good for him to see the writing on the wall, this year was far from great for him, but he didn't embarrass himself and had a couple nice stretches when the fork wasn't in him I don't mind him being a part of the org moving forward, but to be honest I wouldn't want him in an everyday role just yet. Maybe ease him into it a bit? I don't think you can go from player to every day bench coach in one year. Spring Training coach and some front office/ambassador position for year one, and go from there? Anyways, thanks for the memories Torii you were a big part of bringing the Twins back to respectability the first time around, and you will be put into the Twins HOF sooner rather than later. Jersey retired? Maybe, but that is a debate for another day I suppose.

    Plouffe is a toss in basically, they can turn around and trade him or keep him as a warm body (even in rebuilding you need some legit players) Gibson is a mid rotation guy, he is easily replaceable with May, Milone, Duffey etc.
  5. DaveW
    As long as it doesn't cost Berrios, Hicks, Rosario or Sano I am all for it. Kepler+Plouffe+PTBNL Or Gibson+Plouffe would be fine with me.

    The Royals have done a wonderful job in the regards of having some cool "family/kids" areas as well as having some awesome open bar areas for the adults as well. Best stadium in baseball easily.
  7. DaveW
    True, the one at Camden yards is pretty awesome and they did a good job with it (mostly because its high up enough where most everyone can see the game from there. This seems like an auspicious time to make this announcement though, stuff like this isn't going to move the needle on ticket sales and season ticket sales. A impact signing or trade however....

    I like good beer as much (probably more) than the next guy, there are multiple places around TF to get craft beer. The reality is, most people still drink bud light/budweiser etc, while the craft market has certainly grown, they have only taken a small chunk of the macro brews share. If you want a craft beer it's easy to find at TF, you may have to walk a bit longer, but oh well.

    Supply and demand. Most people don't want to drink IPA's all day in 90 degree weather.
  10. DaveW
    That's not the Twins problem.
  11. DaveW
    They make more money by adding bars because the operator of said bar pays the Twins a hefty fee (basically rent)
  12. DaveW
    I don't think it would change it.
  13. DaveW
    It doesn't effect the site lines at alll, the "green" is still the green. Yankee stadium comes to mind as a place that has a food pavilion right above "the blacked" section of center field. What it really ultimately comes down to is they are removing some of the cheaper and more affordable seats in the stadium. If you are so worried about having everyone in the expensive seats, how about you build a team that is actually a playoff contender.
  14. DaveW
    They should have used the space and made an actual picnic area for people to sit and enjoy, with plenty of room to roam around and maybe even a big grass section for families to lay out/stretch out, etc.
  15. DaveW
    This franchise and especially Dave St Peter has always been a fan of children *as long as they can take advantge of them while they are dying of cancer to run ads to build the new ballpark.
  16. DaveW
    Dumb and pointless. Taking away more "cheap seats" in order to build yet another bar. Last I checked there were plenty of places to grab a beer at Target Field, also the "catch" section will only be sold to season ticket holders? Good luck with that, those seats are pretty terrible overall. If you want to build something new, do something original that is fun, whether it is for families or not, another "bar" featuring FRESH NEW FOOD! Is nothing new.
  17. DaveW
    Ugh, terrible news RIP Flip
  18. DaveW
    I'd bed the over on the T Pups and I would bet the farm on the Knicks
  19. DaveW
    Agreed, but highly unlikely.
  20. DaveW
    He can catch, he hits well and fwiw he has never had issues with teammates and seems to be a good team player. It's the other teams that he pisses off.
  21. DaveW
    I'd like to know where I was being passive aggressive? I think I stated my objections quite clearly as it was a very poor jouranlistic decision. You may disagree, which is fine, but to brush it off as passive aggressive is inflammatory.
  22. DaveW
    I didn't realize you were a lawyer now!Fwiw: front office personal can't speak in regards to potential free agents until 9am the day after the World Series concludes, otherwise it would be tampering. Now, I'm not saying anyone on the twins did such things, but if so, perhaps maybe that is why they weren't keen on it getting out? With punishments and all. Back to the topic at hand, give me AJ and his 2 mil deal it would cost over the more expensive and just as mediocre options.
  23. DaveW
    U mad bro? Just suck it up and take the well earned criticism on this one.
  24. DaveW
    I'm not sure you need a true "ace" to win, but you need better pitchers than what the Twins have now to win (or a kick ass offense that would make Brad Childress blush)
  25. DaveW
    It was a started "thread" in this sub topic. That was immediately deleted, one of you responded to me via PM though to say that they did it etc which I applaud, still would appreciate some more clarity on the matter though.
