    I catch maybe a total of 15-20 innings a week of MLB at this point, it's really hard to dedicate 3.5 hours to watch a team struggle like this, but the beauty about MLB.tv/At Bat is you can tune in and out throughout the game(s) If the Twins were in the race I would guess that number would be closer to 25-35 a week at this point. Baseball is a much better sport to attend in person and is the best to listen to via radio. It lags behind the NFL and NHL TV wise IMO.

    see: His disastrous 2014 in the majors? I don't mind the Twins taking a little extra time with him in AA, no need to rush him for a third time IMO, additionally, since he has gone back to switch hitting, perhaps he has been working a lot with the AA hitting coach and still has a ways to go? Most importantly I think getting Hicks confidence might be the most important part of bringing him back, let him mash AA for a couple more weeks to get that. The fact he is now hitting both RHP and LHP at good clips is very very very encouraging.

    Schafer should get about 10-15 starts in CF to see what he has for the Twins, if he falls on his face you bring up Hicks, if he does well, then maybe you wait until Sept to bring Hicks back up IMO. I agree, Santana needs to be playing SS.

    DeDuno is on a major league roster collecting a major league paycheck each week, this would be unlikely on several other teams, I think his shake is more than fair personally
  5. DaveW
    Free Joe Dillon!

    I think Santana's future with the team is at SS personally. With the question marks in the OF, I would think the Twins will take a pretty hard run at Torii Hunter to hold down one of the corner OF spots, which I would be a big fan of. I guess they could always make a run at a Melky Cabrera type, but I am guessing they would have to give him 3-4 years. Hopefully Hunter would be willing to come back to Minnesota for a year or two.

    I think the Outfield sometime in June ends up being: Hicks-Buxton-Arcia, with the possibility of Hicks or Arcia being in AAA and having a veteran or a guy like Plouffe handling the other position. TBH Hicks-Buxton-Arcia would be a pretty awesome OF defense.

    I give it an A just because I didn't expect any of Willingham correia etc combined to bring back as much value as milone has himself. Also love the Suzuki signing. We can trade Willingham and correia for a PTBNL worst case scenario in Aug. Maybe we should hold onto dueling for another year as well....guy has been pretty lights out this year.

    Good move, if Pinto steps up then you have a pretty damn good back up C who doesn't cost much.

    As a fan of the Mariners (2nd fav team) I am not sure I like this deal for the M's or the Rays. Franklin has a ton of potential, and while I like Jackson he isn't some stud IMO. The Rays get back a pretty solid potential SS and a guy who is a meh back of the rotation pitcher. Seems really odd, especially with the Rays on a 20-4 run.
  13. DaveW
    Yeah, I think the Yankees are still a prime potential spot for Willingham, I am guessing they were going after better players and couldn't bring em in.
  14. DaveW
    There has to be more to it. That would be a really terrible haul for Price.
  15. DaveW
    Meh, to be honest, pretty much every player that got moved today with the exception of the Fuld trade involved some really, really good players: Cabrera, Lackey, Price, Lester, Zobrist, Stephen Drew (ok not that good), etc
  16. DaveW
    I heard that the Lester and Price trades are just the opening acts for the Twins trade that is going to trickle in in the next few minutes.
  17. DaveW
    Zobrist to the Pirates.
  18. DaveW
    Rumor has it that it is a Detroit, TB and Minnesota Ménage a trade. Duensing is the center piece.

    Even worse. Bowden is such a hack. http://deadspin.com/jim-bowden-caught-stealing-from-fake-twitter-account-d-1614081824?utm_campaign=socialflow_deadspin_facebook&utm_source=deadspin_facebook&utm_medium=socialflow

    Why would he suddenly start hitting .180? I get it, he is having a career year, but it's not all based on luck, he is on pace for 35 doubles this year, doubles aren't the result of luck.
  21. DaveW
    I thought I read earlier today that Miller is a FA after this year?
  22. DaveW
    I would go 3 years if the AAV isn't bad. 3/18 I would be ok with, I'd also be ok with 2/14 or 2/15. 3/24? Pass.
  23. DaveW
    Pfft Facts, it's much more easy and fun to bash the Twins front office for not knowing how to work a 25 man roster
  24. DaveW
    no it wouldn't, it would be several levels of ineptitude. The Twins literally have zero use for a guy like Fuld the rest of the year. They would be better served trading Willingham for a PTBNL
  25. DaveW
    I would love for the Tigers to make that trade and completely dismantle their farm system. 2016 would be all ours!
