  1. It took me off-guard as well.
  2. According to MLBNetwork (TV)
  3. Figured we could chat about different trades today in this thread that do NOT involve the Twins. Can't believe the Marlins just got Cox for a garbage RP. Good lord, what are the Cardinals thinking?
  4. I'm glad your not the GM the last thing we need are more non hitting MI
  5. Not to nitpick, but did you see the garbage they traded Soto for?
  6. Yeah, I just prefer there to be some solution to the problem mentioned as well, also the whole "making things up" like "The Twins would never trade Willingham straight up for Bundy" stuff grinds my gears a bit to. It's one thing to criticize moves, but to claim Ryan is incompetant is pretty ridiculous, the guy built a team that won the divison 6 times in 9 years and in his short time back at the helm of the Twins has already made some very nice moves (Willingham, Doumit)
  7. I wish Span was enough to get Billy Hamilton, but he is almost as untouchable as they come I bet.
  8. Not true, I question plenty. Just rambling on and on, post after post about how the Twins need to fire everyone adds nothing to the conversation and gets really ****ing annoying as it constantly derails threads.
  9. Yeah, quite a bit more I would guess, because of the contract and his consistency.
  10. Honest question: why even watch this team since you clearly despise everyone and everything that has to do with the organization? Every single post of yours is nothing but crying for "the interim" "the manager" to get fired.
  11. 88, 87, 94 is the number of wins they had in 2008,2009 and 2010. That is medicore?? The Twins had 3 very nice seasons (one great) followed up by the 2nd worst in franchise history. Again 2012 has nothing to do with what happened in 2007/2008. Again, you throwing out their record from 2007 onwards is pointless.
  12. The Twins have been actively shopping him (according to reports) for several weeks now, I'd say they have a strong urge to move him for the right package sooner rather then later.
  13. Martin has been a huge bust ever since getting drafted and still walks way to many people. He isn't anything special at this point, sure he has some upside but it is very unlikely that he will reach it. He was the 17th rated prospect in the org for a reason.
  14. The Twins honestly may have gotten just as good of a package for Liriano.
  15. What was there record from 2007 to 2010? These random numbers you are throwing out are next to pointless seeing how the Twins had several good seasons (some great) followed up by two clunkers in 2011, 2012. The record they had in 2008 has zero to do with their 2012 record.
  16. The Twins really need to figure out a way to trade for the pitching equivolent of Snider. Guys like Chris Tillman, Brett Cecil, Jair Jurrjens and others come to mind.
  17. They have been playing like a .500 team ever since Mauer/Morneau started preforming, Plouffe was given playing time, Diamond was moved into the rotation etc. Coming into the year I thought they would win anywhere between 78-83 games, I didn't expect the rotation to be this bad, but the offense and bullpen have been better than what I thought. They still have a shot to win 78 games.
  18. They put together a big streak right before the deadline causing them to only be like 5 or so games out of first place at the time. Also I think you are forgetting Plouffe as anohter guy who really wasn't playing at the start of the season, also Mauer and Morneau both started rather slow coming back from injuries. I have said it before and will say it again, with this current roster the Twins are basically a .500 team, the hitting, defense and bullpen are all good enough to compete (could upgrades be made? Sure), its going to all come down to the starting pitching moving forward into 2013 onwards. I'd say this team is 3 SP away from competing next year, ideally Gibson and Hendriks could be two of those pitchers and Ryan can go out and spend his money on a guy like Sanchez for the third.
  19. Does this year count as part of the greatest run? They have like $100 mil tied up per year to the following players then next few seasons; Lee, Halladay, Hamels, Howard. They are going to have a hell of a time fielding a lineup.
  20. the over/under tonight is 9 total runs. Pretty sure that will be destroyed within the first 3 innings.
  21. Wow, I am very thankful I am not a Phillies fan at this point, they have completely screwed the pooch with nearly every move they have made the past year or two. 100 million to Ryan Howard? Overpaying Hamels. Not trading your free agents when you have the chance? If they end up holding onto Victorino this will be a disaster for Philly.
