  1. David Wright is having health issues again and Duda is out for a couple months so trading Plouffe to the Mets makes real sense. Terry get it done you need to start fixing this messy roster, imo.
  2. A Catch 22! If they play better Terry will again see them as part of solution remember the Plouffe led the team in RBI comment so why trade him comment last winter? If they continue to play poorly he'll have the nobody wants to give up anything of value for our bad players excuse. Sorry I just don't have any faith in Terry fixing this mess.
  3. I think Plouffe would be a good fit for the Mets. They need a 1B and their 3B is made of glass. My guess is Terry would hold out for Wheeler.
  4. 11/7/2011: "As we move ahead, I'm looking forward to the challenge of improving this club for 2012 and beyond," Ryan said in a statement. "We have many assets in place including a strong front office, manager, coaching staff and returning core of players. We have a lot of work to do in relation to development of our roster, but I'm optimistic in our collective abilities to ensure the future on-field success of this franchise." How is this on-field success going?
  5. It would be nice if they could even get mediocre production out of these guys
  6. Duensing signs with Balt. they must be preparing for a big trade!!
  7. Nunez leading off with I feel good Dozier on the bench. Grossman hitting 6th.
  8. I know everyone likes Bruno but IMO it's time to send him on a paid summer vacation. Whatever he is doing isn't working and you have to start somewhere. Find somebody to give this team a kick in the butt, not Vavra by the way. Only thing is whoever you replace him with make sure he has long standing ties to the Twins, we would never want an outsider.
  9. Maybe it's time for a change in trying to hit coach. A new approach certainly couldn't hurt at this point. Home runs are fun but swinging for the fences all the time doesn't seem to be working.
  10. I don't think it was the reason he was sent down but it just happened to be the last in a long string of goof ups. He certainly deserved to be sent down some time ago. I think they just didn't have anyone to replace him until Terry worked his magic and signed Grossman. I think the Molitor reaction was more him being really tired of his team sucking.
  11. I was just thinking it could be time to sign Punto for the rest of the season. Retire as a Twin, first base retired in stead of his number.
  12. Managing 101 says that a guy with a .215 ave and .303 obp is the ideal guy to leadoff.
  13. You mean the Twins and the Braves playoff for top pick?
  14. Cheer up there are only 123 possible losses left in the season, as long as we don't get into the wildcard game anyway.
  15. Riverworld was a decent series of books but realistically it's Briansworld and we all just live in it here at TD.
  16. I hope: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgubG-MOPT4
  17. I'd prefer that a Mike Trout slide to us and this time we pick him, hindsight I know.
  18. The problem is most of the staff needs to be shut down.
  19. So "The Streak" is over. It was fun while it lasted.
  20. If they win tonight are all the troubles behind them?
  21. I don't see how youth can be blamed for what we've seen this year. Maybe it's an easy excuse but that's all it is an excuse for failure. The reality, at least in my mind, is a lot of these guys just aren't consistently good. They can look good in a SSS but over time they can't maintain it. At this point these guys need to "prove it" and if they can't we are in for a long and sad period of at best mediocrity.
