    1 year, 1 mil contract with 5 mil in incentives.

    Why would Grady see tape on him? Signing players (especially international ones) isn't his job
  3. DaveW
    I'd still bet on the other manager saying a "magic word" that got Dougie all hot and bothered, if that is the case I am sure the Twins brass know about it which is probably why they didn't go completely nuts on him/fire him/further punish him. This could be the "honey nut cheerios" of the minor league world for all we know.

    This is a bit silly. Baseball managers and players know they won't get "fired" for fighting , most people who work for companies will get fired the second a punch is thrown. I am pretty sure at a past job or two I would have gladly forfeited a couple days worth of salary to punch some ******** (Mostly the High School and College jobs i.e Golf Caddy).

    Whats amazing about all of this, is the fact the Twins actually have a decent shot to win 72+ games

    I liked the nishi move at the time but there were plenty who didnt and cautioned against his freakish BABIP
  7. DaveW
    I'm pretty sure Joe Girardi was about 3 inches away from punching that ump in the face last night if you watch the replay. Also, MLB managers are disproportionately old or fat, or often times both. Old fat dudes don't make for good fighters as they will most likely break a hip.

    He didn't publically dress down Sano, and he was pretty critical FYI of Mientkiewicz when it happened, basically saying "it was wrong, he knows it was wrong etc" the whole Sano "issue" came up when Sano basically didn't admit what he was doing was wrong, which irked the manager. Being apologetic goes a long ways.
  9. DaveW
    He is going to get a few days off since he will be suspended. Thus the punishment fits the crime, no more will need to be done. Also the Twins probably aren't trying to make this a huge story (just like they were with Sano, however everyone decided to take with it and turn it into a huge story) Again the Sano thing got blown out of proportion because the media (and websites) decided to make it into a huge deal since there were literally zero other sports going on. I would bet if Sano got benched during Sept while the Vikings were going on, you wouldn't see more than a blurb in the paper about it, or more than 5 minutes dedicated to it on the radio. Also brawls in baseball are AWESOME! Showing up the other team is not awesome. Pedro Throwing fat zimmer down=Awesome Nolan Ryan punching Ventura= Awesome Slow home run trots= Not awesome

    I actually like this, a lot. This team has played the "Mr. Nice guy" role for too long, nothing wrong at all about having fire, and this has absolutely nothing to do with the Sano showing up the other team incident. The equivalent would have been if Sano would have rushed the mound to protect a team-mate or whatever. Dougie prob didn't handle it the best way, but you better believe his players will rally behind him for this. Also, nobody knows what was said, and obviously there is no real excuse for violence, but lets be honest, there are a few phrases that would get 99% of men to go after someone if they were said, who knows what was said? People didn't get all uspet that Melo went after Garnett after what he said....so let's hold a bit of judgement until we find out all the details. To compare this and the Sano issue is overall pretty ridiculous. By all accounts Mint has been a good manager, what do you all want, for him to be fired over this or something?

    I said, the Twins haven't had a legit in house MI option in...well... a decade? Why on earth would we suddenly want to trade the one guy we finally found? Even with Rosario our MI depth in the minors is, average at best. If this was Hicks doing well, then sure, maybe the argument could be made since we have plenty of OF depth, but trading away MI depth is about the last thing this team should be doing (unless by some miracle you end up with a front end SP type guy for Dozier) Also the idea of this thread of Dozier clearing waivers is preposterous. He would be claimed instantly.
  12. DaveW
    Haha. Also in my defense, over a month ago I believe I started an entire thread about how I was wrong about the kid.
  13. DaveW
    Yeah, but obviously my opinion changed. Is that allowed?
  14. DaveW
    I love we have a solid young in house MI for te first time in a decade and people wanna trade him
  15. DaveW
    I always likes Blackburn. He was a solid #4 until the injuries and regression hit. The contract sucked, but at the end of the day it didn't exactly cripple the org, it was 4 mil a year basically.
  16. DaveW
    Every team would claim dozier...
  17. DaveW
    I'd settle for ANY Twins pitcher to be top 100 at this point.
  18. DaveW
    He was already traded for cash...
  19. DaveW
    Honest and stupid question: what are the odds he can still grow an inch or two? (Or maybe he has this year?) 18/19 is still young enough where people still put on height, no?
  20. DaveW
    Yeah I saw it after the fact, but honestly this deserves its on thread.
  21. DaveW
    Zach Lee for Morneau, do it now Ryan!!!

    The Twins announced that they have acquired Class A left-hander Miguel Sulbaran from the Dodgers as the player to be named later in July 31's Drew Butera trade. It's a surprisingly good return for Butera, as Sulbaran was ranked as Los Angeles' No. 14 prospect by MLB.com's Jonathan Mayo. The 19-year-old Sulbaran has pitched to a 3.01 ERA with 8.3 K/9 and 2.6 BB/9 in 92 2/3 innings this season. In his free scouting report, Mayo writes: "Sulbaran has a good feel for his low-90s fastball and can add and subtract velocity from it as needed. His curveball is his best offspeed pitch and both his slider and changeup show promise."

    The thing is, the only chance he has to match his minor league numbers is if he gets that K rate up to at least 7.0 per 9 in the majors, frankly, I am not sure he has the "Stuff" to do it, which is why a sub 3.50 ERA is pretty unlikely. I still hope he can be what Diamond was last year.
  24. DaveW
    I would be happy if he passes the Pavano test: 4.00-4.25 ERA, 200 IP. I don't really care what his WHIP or anything at that point is. Just give us 200 IP and keep us in more ball games then not. (i.e. be a nice, cheap #4)
  25. DaveW
    He most certainly will be claimed. Unfortunately it will probably be the Yankees
