    Word on the street is that, as we speak, Bill Smith is furiously copying "puer, pueri, puero, puerum, puero; pueri, puerorum, pueris, pueros, pueris."

    Uhhhh... Wat?
  3. 70charger
    Well. There's that. Good hit tool and I'll take that though I wanted a particular pitcher. Ah well. What do I know.

    Gimme Hudson...

    Not excited about the Tigers getting Manning.

    A prep guy is all about projection, right? So is anyone else suspicious of the fact that he's gotten professional instruction from his father all the way through his childhood? Is he peaking early? Is he what he is (and will remain) already? Would he take instruction from someone else? I'm admittedly no expert, but I'm really put off by this one.

    Swarzak? Parmelee? The Yankees can keep 'em. I'll keep Nunez.

    Whoa. I'm just gonna say it. This guy ****s! Am I right? Cuz I'm looking at the rest of you guys... (Anyone who hasn't seen Silicon Valley should check it out. Worth a few laughs.)

    100% true. I did a similar (same? was your guide Reggie?) thing just south of New Orleans. Coolest part wasn't even the fact that a bunch of gators came out to chomp down on marshmallows, it was driving to the bayou docks, coming around a bend on a dirt road, and seeing a bald eagle standing in the road eating its prey. Those things are huge! The gators were cool too.

    On ESPN this morning: Ryan said pitching prospect Alex Meyer was headed to the DL on Saturday with shoulder inflammation. Meyer hasn't pitched since being optioned to Triple-A Rochester last month and is seeking a second opinion on his injury.

    I'm not surprised in the slightest that he's that high. We've been so poisoned by the whiners who think that it matters how much he is paid that we seem to easily forget what an utterly dominant player he has been.

    Wouldn't it be weird if Terry Ryan were our version of Ricky Vaughan?

    Dear Eddie, For every walk you take, I'll let you take 100 swings in the cage. Hell, we don't even have to turn the pitching machine on if you don't want to! Love, Chad Allen

    Agreed. Move Nunez if he has a buyer, because if he goes back to the old Nunez he won't have a buyer ever again. It's not like he's young. This isn't even him peaking - this is a fluke. Besides, we can use the Nunez playing time for Polanco, and I really want to see what we have there.

    +1 in favor of "see what you have." I for one would be far more interested in watching the rookies develop - win or lose - than watching the veterans lose anyway. I will say though, that in my opinion the Plouffe move is key. and if this were a ranking situation, I'd put moving Plouffe at 1, 1a, and 1b. One single guy moved clears up the logjams at several positions. We can play Kepler every day in right, or give Arcia some leash at least. We can move Sano to third finally and see if he can actually hack it. We can free up DH/1B even more because there's no real push to have Sano DH'ing when he has 3B to himself. I just think Plouffe is key. Frankly, I'm not expecting much back; I think the spot is the biggest return. On the other hand, I would 100% take a lottery ticket like a Palka or a Walker-type. Chances are neither of those two ever really make it, but they have a standout skill that means that if they do, the upside is huge. Or, I would take a lower-minors upside guy in the mold of Alex Meyer. Granted, Span was worth a lot more than Plouffe is so a Meyer-type isn't really realistic, but if it takes going into prospects in the low minors to get upside, I say do it. We don't need to swap one 25-man-clogging piece for another.

    I'm going to own up to throwing some shade Dean's way on a game thread back when he had just come up. He has proven me wrong so far. So mea culpa. On the other hand, maybe that's the key: underestimate him so he plays angry.
  17. 70charger
    I see where this is going. And I'm okay with it...
  18. 70charger
    To be historically bad, you usually need that magically toxic combination of ineptitude and bad luck. Looks like our guys have both so far. Let's hope the luck starts to change. As an aside, is this supposed to be predictive too? I.e. can the underperformers be expected to turn it around based on this?

    Is Jorge Fernandez not a catcher at all anymore? If so, was it driven by a bigger bat or a lack of defense? Or just overcrowding at Cedar Rapids?
  20. 70charger
    I watched the rest of that game and we pulled it out. The curse has been lifted! What a long 5 innings!
  21. 70charger
    Oh good, we get to play the Mariners when Felix Hernandez is pitching. Luckily we're countering him with the mighty Pat Dean.
  22. 70charger
    And I left to go to the corner store and when I come back the Twins are winning. I think I'm the team's curse (today anyway, I've watched like three games live all year).

    I read this in Adam Sandler's voice.
  24. 70charger
    I started watching this inning and was pleasantly surprised by 3-0. Within minutes, 3-3. Guys... is this my fault?
  25. 70charger
    If the AL manager doesn't want to pick anyone currently on the Twins' 25 man, I'll go. Just putting it out there.
