    What is the Duensing rule ?
  3. Thegrin
    A man needs testicles of Brobdingnagian size to question the courage of a Major League pitcher.

    The only real value that Correia gives the Twins is when they throw him against our opponents #1 starter. The Twins will unlikely win the game anyway, so pitch him against Verlander, Masterson, Shields et al.

    Report: Top Cuban slugger Jose Dariel Abreu defects | HardballTalk Here;s the source of the story.

    Today's (Sunday) outting was a good one. If Correia continues to pitch this way, we will all love him. But that is a mighty big IF.

    I doubt anybody here has personally seen any of the international free agents. We don't know what has been offered for whom. This thread is a lot of hot air based on a lack of information. We may have some signings between now and Spring Training 2014.

    lol Ask Dave Boswell about Martin's punch.

    For me, Florimon passes the eyeball test. I watch most all the games on TV and he seems to get to most of the balls he shouldn't be able to reach. He doesn't make many throwing mistakes. He seems to get a key hit every couple games or so. I would be happy to have Florimon and Dozier as our keystone combination to start next year.

    no Mauer

    I hope they let Correia skip his next turn in the rotation. Maybe switch him with Swarzak. The Twins should be tired of Correia's act.
  13. Thegrin
    Its a good thing that the Twins bullpen is performing well because there has been inconsistent relief in Rochester. Also, the Twins may need to try Swarzak and/or Duensing in the starting lineup again. They seem to have learned something while pitching long relief.

    All this discussion is premature. Albers threw a great game tonight. Who's to say he can't continue ? Diamond is trying to regain his form in AAA. Gibson is here and trying to find his way. Deduno seems to have found some control and looks like he could be an anchor for the next several years. But we won't be able to make a final determination until the season is over. It seems like the Twins could add one quality pitcher through FA or trade, but none of the listed pitchers looks like an upgrade on what we have. Garza ? We've had him. Would he come here if we offered him the most $$ ??? I doubt it. and why wouldn't Texas offer him the best deal ? Kuroda ? He's 38 years old, for God's sake !!! E Santana ? maybe... but KC should offer more $$ given the way he has pitched for them. AJ Burnett ? PLEASE not him. Anybody but him. Josh Johnson and Lincecum ??? Injuries !! Only if they would sign for the prices that Harden and Perez signed for. Hughes ? maybe him. but if the Yankees won't pay the most, we shouldn't. They know him best. I think the Twins in 2014 will have to trade for a quality pitcher. There is no way to predict who that would be and what the cost will be.
  15. Thegrin
    Lots of badly hit ground balls like Deduno gets. Something is foolin' em.
  16. Thegrin
    8 shutout innings in 98 pitches. and Swarzak won't have to pitch tonight!!! I wonder if Gardy will let him try for the complete game shutout ?

    Can anybody tell me what happens when a player is on the 40 man roster but is in the minor leagues. Are they Free Agents when the season is over ? Does the Twins control them ? We know Worley is a FA next year, but are all these guys FA also ?

    Albers is pitching quick and missing low. Only 21 pitches after 2 innings. Whats not to like ?
  21. Thegrin
    It looks like Plouffe is in Gardy's doghouse ... or was he hurt on that fall into the stands last night ! A MLB channel commentator was worried that spikes might hurt a fan !
  22. Thegrin
    Ouch! Diamond pitching for Rochester in the bottom of the 2nd. Mike Fontenot walks. Chris Gimenez walks. Mike Fontenot to 2nd. Evan Frey walks. Mike Fontenot to 3rd. Chris Gimenez to 2nd. Craig Albernaz hits a grand slam (1) to left field. Mike Fontenot scores. Chris Gimenez scores. Evan Frey scores.

    Rosario's numbers suggest that he will hit anywhere at any time. Dozier's only hope for regular employment will be at SS. This is the kind of situation that Twins fans could enjoy for the next 10 years.

    "The evil that men do, lives after them. The good is oft interred with their bones." The sooner we bury Correia, the happier we would be. He does nothing for our record, but stands in the way of our search for a solid starter from amongst our relievers or AAAA players.
  25. Thegrin
    Remember that thread last week about the quality of TR's 2013 off-season moves ? and Correia was considered a success ? It is still too early to judge. I wish Correia was gone already.
