    What exactly are you trying to say here? Because if you are saying what it appears you are saying , I suggest you go back and rethink it, because it is incredibly dense and beyond missing the point.
  2. DaveW
    Dean has some value, but not in this org.
  3. DaveW
    I'm not sure that is allowed?

    Michael would basically be a util INF/25th man on the bench, a competitive team would be able to stash him as he would only be playing once a week or so anyways. Either way I don't mind losing him.
  5. DaveW
    The fact that San Diego picked him up makes me think they view him as a catcher, though I suppose they could try him at 1B or something? Who knows. If its true that he won't/can't catch again, I don't mind it then.
  6. DaveW
    Sweet, this makes me loathe the already terrible trade even more! Great work though Parker, hopefully Murphy can learn how to hit a curve at least once in a while, that's only our prayer that he becomes even close to an average catcher.

    Losing Pinto is a mistake. I will never understand how this team views catching defense, yes, Pinto wasn't great, but Suzuki last year was atrocious and can't throw anyone out to save his life.

    The difference between wieters and cespedes or heyward is like 3-4 more years and about 80 million dollars.

    Nice pick up. However they need to get at least one more arm they can truly count on in the late innings, Benoit would have been an nice target but he is already traded, plenty of other arms on the market that can be legit 7th/8th guys. Clippard, Storen etc.

    I don't mind them trading Hicks "giving up" I mind them trading him for someone with such little upside, and someone who looks at least like a part time player for as long as Suzuki is here. The Twins need to be of the mindset of "playoffs or bust" next year, I'm not saying sell the farm, but they need to be putting out a team that can make a wild card spot in 2016, creating a hole in the OF for the first couple months with Hicks gone (and Buxton and Kepler not ready) while only bringing on a part time catcher seems like a net loss in the near term, and Hicks upside makes me think there is a very good chance that its a net loss in the long term. Just a perplexing trade all around. Why not give up something more for Gary Sanchez? A guy who may not be ready this minute, but actually has the upside to be a very good player at catcher.

    Good points, I was looking at just his offensive numbers. Either way it was a pretty bad decision, no doubt.
  12. DaveW
    If that is true (which I don't doubt) that highlights something very, very, very wrong in the thinking of this front office.
  13. DaveW
    Agree on the most part, but I think Nishioka was going to be terrible regardless of the leg break or not, he clearly had no business playing SS in the majors and was completely lost at the plate. But yeah, you are correct, his contract was small, but the real problem was shipping off Hardy (who in all fairness had a great season for Baltimore, before one bad, one good and several more bad ones) Lastly: Good points on the Pelfrey, Blackburn etc signings, just proves my point about rewarding and gravitating towards mediocrity.
  14. DaveW
    This is such a god awful trade, Ryan got completely fleeced once again.
  15. DaveW
    I'm not on twitter, twitter is a toxic wasteland that provides little to no value. Also I don't converse with idiots on a daily basis (try not to anyways), so again, no reasonable person would say Nishioka=Pak etc. Not sure why this article was written and posted on TwinsDaily if twinsdaily users weren't the ones saying it..

    You would make a hell of a politician nick! Arguing against a stance that literally nobody is taking! Nobody is comparing the two (at least around these parts)
  17. DaveW
    What the **** was that ending?
  18. DaveW
    Morneau would be a much better signing then Hunter ever was, but even so, I would pass for now.
  19. DaveW
    Santana is an all around mediocre player, though I would keep him as a util guy over Nunez or any of the other real options.
  20. DaveW
    the minute I appear in a pair political ad for someone I will look in the mirror, until then, this isn't even an apples and oranges comparison, it's a Boones farm and Orange Juice comparison. Also I haven't seen any "hate" fwiw, I have been hunters biggest critic in this regard but I have repeatedly said I loved what he did as a player for this team (top ten franchise history, team HOF etc) I bet if this was Chuck knoblauch though people wouldn't be as quick to defend...(all he did was demand a trade from the twins at the time) all the other stuff (Terrible stuff no doubt) came out long after the twins fans had thrown stuff at him on the field etc
  21. DaveW
    Note:Nobody asked hunter the question until he had already come out and stated his stance numerous times without provocation.
  22. DaveW
    Also fwiw: I think a lot of people's issue with hunter isn't that he made the comments, but that he continually doubled down on them (then basically crapped all over the media when they tried to ask him about it) America and especially sports in America love to forgive folks, if he came out and said something along the lines of "these are beliefs I grew up with etc, but I have heard from others that it might be offensive, I am working to learn more about the issues" people would by and large forget about it.
  23. DaveW
    Agreed 100% A few of the "defenders" arguments seem a little like those of the curt schilling defenders.(though to be fair what schilling has been doing is much more inflammatory and dangerous IMO)
  24. DaveW
    You know the point I was trying to make.
