    This team needs both. The focus, I hope, is on both at the same time.

    Please, NO Rodney. I can't even stand watching him pitch for other teams. Colon, then Rodney? Say it will never be! Hopefully, this FO has totally different and better plans than Kintzler and Rodney.

    Crushing It? Well, OK. I you say so. I will be waiting to see if anything actually pans out until I anoint them as Crushers. So far, it is all still hope and dreams.

    People like to say this, but in the end, if players have tools, and are going to make it, they should also show up in the lowest levels of the farm system, and in performance and stats. Kohl Stewart had tools, and can't even get protected. Like I said, lots of luck to all.

    Wasn't it 5th and 10th for the previous teams? If a prospect is rated in the top ten on the Twins, I would consider that high. And apparently rated high by our FO for the FO to even acquire them. Unless the MO is just to fill space on the farm rosters. Am I really qualifying this simple statement?
  6. h2oface
    Two new prospects rated high but performing low already, in low levels of the farm world. Amazing 5 pages of comments can come out of this. Good luck to the prospects and the Twins. All three will need a lot of it for this one.

    Can't he be passed through waivers and assigned (if not claimed, and who would with his contract attached) to Rochester ? Let him prove he can help the club before innings are wasted on him?

    I had no idea G Cinco was so found of himself.
  9. h2oface
    Well...... I will consider it not happening when it doesn't happen. Minor league contract..... call up......... just because the option isn't picked up, doesn't mean Perkins will retire, and not be around in some fashion, yet.
  10. h2oface
    The confirmation of this silver lining will be no more Perkins or Hughes. Sentimentality may still raise its misguided folly.

    Does anyone know if Kevin Slowey is still MLBPA special assistant? http://mlb.mlb.com/pa/releases/releases.jsp?content=060215

    As much as I hated how Militor often chose to bunt, I like it a lot in the right spots. There is no excuse for a major league batter, every one of them, to not be able to lay down a bunt successfully 75 - 80% of the time. With the excessive shifts these days, a good bunt should be an automatic base, at utilized to break the shift. Do the stats used here include attempted bunts? Like bunts attempted and fouled off twice and then the batter proceeded to hit away to finish the at bat? The Twins had so many failed bunt attempts.........

    My bet.... No problems. My tib/fib horrible complete fracture healed great, and the intramedullary nail/rod is still living harmoniously in my tibia going on 28 years, with a couple of marathons finished. I was 34 when it went in. My bet.... No problems.
  14. h2oface
    Can we put a pink line through Phil Hughes' name, yet?
  15. h2oface
    I keep trying to get the pathetic look on Darvish's face from the mound during the World Series out of my head....... and how the rental totally screwed the Dodger's. Not once, but twice. It really was a nightmare. Trusting game 7 to a visitor. Positive the "ace" couldn't pitch so poorly twice in a row in the Series......... Ouch.
  16. h2oface
    He will me my MOY when the Twins win in the postseason, and my MOD (decade) if they win the World Series. You say the vote is before the Postseason? Not in my world. Looks like whether one likes it or not, he might be around for at least a couple three years to get a chance to have his players make him look good, and he truly may improve, be a quick study, embrace the new world and get lots of help form the FO. So Congrats just the same. It may be the less one sees someone work, the better they seem. Knowing too much might not be helpful in considering who one votes for.

    Once again, the GG award is all over the place. Another award in baseball for which the criteria is on a "need to know" basis, and a true mystery.
  18. h2oface
    Carlos had a pretty good July - August, but he was toast April through June. Sure, it can happen to anyone, but my bet is that last half year was his last hurrah. I think his slide is coming hard.
  19. h2oface
    No reason to not get a more productive vet, if one is needed. I guess Mauer and Dozier and Santana aren't enough? Why not? I am relieved that Colon will be gone.
  20. h2oface
    AJ Hinch gets my vote. Francona gets my 2nd place vote. I am in the 2 game improvement from 2015 to 2017 park. Molitor is like the relief pitcher that totally blows the save in the top of the 9th, gives up 4 runs and the two run lead, and then the team bails him out in the bottom of the inning, scores 3, and he gets the win. This team never should have had so much to come back from. Maybe I know and saw and remember too many things about how Molitor manages. The total mismanagement of what pen we had, the bunts, the blown double switch in LA that we all sat in the stands for 20 some minutes of WTF..... It isn't just won/loss record. A man that is still struggling so much with learning how to manage is not the manager of the year in my book.
  21. h2oface
    Cahill is the only one I would give a shot.
  22. h2oface
    Stop rubbing his history, or lack of it, in, please. I am talking myself into being hopeful!
  23. h2oface
    There certainly must be something more convincing that is seen in his (Alston's) results than this. Surely. I hope. Must be. Work with me baby... work with me.
  24. h2oface
    I think I heard Gibson say "Bite Me" all the way out here in LA.

    That's what you get out of my comment? Oh, let's see. Why do people switch jobs? They get fired. Disagreements with the people who don't play, but run the team and are newly hired. The Manager is no longer with the team..... a good chance to rejoin a managerial team that has has success in the past...... for change sake.... because they wanted to do something different....... because the Cubs' job is available........... give me a break. I said wait and see. If they aren't fine, tell me why they aren't. Why are they available. Why will players be available as free agents? Lots of reasons. And many will still be quite fine in an evolving game. Why are Managers fired that win 90+ games a year? Because they are not the power. And the power gets to do what they want, until an owner fires them.
