    If you can dodge a rock you can dodge a ball

    Why are they playing "loser" in the background during the twins lineup intro
  4. DiscGolfer
    ouch!! my hand got caught in the rope

    game time? or by the end of the game? Hope you're in line already.

    What I saw was for rain later in the afternoon, looks like the game should start but might be a delay during sometime.

    Bold prediction: Bux will have a 4 hit game this year all on bunts.
  8. DiscGolfer
    Good to see the Strib on top of all the breaking news.

    So, we'd rather see Duffy in the rotation with his 2 pitches so opposing batters can sit back on his curve and then crush his fastball so he can get pulled in the 4th inning and post a 7+ ERA? This would be better how?

    Watching him last year at the plate he looked so comfortable already and just seems like he knows what he's doing. I don't see Sano falling victim to a sophomore slump. Winning an MVP would be quite a feat especially with all the talent in the AL. It'll be a fun race to watch for sure. I don't think he'll win it this year but I'd say top 10 for sure.

    They weren't backed into a corner at all. The problem is, if you want to call it that, is that they have a lot of players that are major league ready or close to it and had to make some tough decisions, time will tell if they work out or not. I foresee the Twins being active in the trade market come deadline time there will be a lot of potential moves they can make that will be addition by subtraction while adding more prospects to the system.

    If Quentin makes another team or ends up with the Twins for some reason I could see him getting hot for about a month and then fizzling out for the rest of the season ala Kubel.
  13. DiscGolfer
    I agree but it's something that wouldn't have surprised me. Now it's all a moot point anyway. Is it opening day yet?

    If Buxton starts the year in AAA, which I don't think will happen, I could see Mastroianni getting the start in center.
  15. DiscGolfer
    It's too bad we can't go back to 2013 when all of the starting pitchers were AAAA quality then May would be the #1 starter for sure. Actually having some decent depth in the rotation for once is a good thing. I don't understand the assumption that May would be a top end starter if in the rotation. May's numbers as a reliever were better than when he was a starter last year. I think May helps the team more if he's in the bullpen than if he's a starter.

    Seems like he needs to go to AAA to work on some more pitches. Let him go down to make his adjustments and bring him up when he's ready. There's enough depth for now to let him make mistakes in the minors and not have to cost games in the bigs.
  17. DiscGolfer
    Announced during game, Mike Strong sent down and removed from 40 man, 1 open spot now for somebody.
  18. DiscGolfer
    If Rogers goes to AAA to start he could be an insurance options as another LH starter if something were to happen to Milone. He's no where near the front of the line as a call up to start but developing another LH starter could be a good thing.
  19. DiscGolfer
    I think Tonkin would be cut already if he had options left, not sure if we lose him when he does get cut. I think Pressley makes the cut, O'Rourke seems close but not quite there yet if he gets some consistency at AAA he could be a valuable role player.

    There's a good article on the Strib about Hunter working with Sano: http://www.startribune.com/hunter-already-impressed-with-sano-s-talent-and-attitude-in-outfield/370435551/ Sano seems to be an intelligent player with a good work ethic to be able to pull this off. He WILL make mistakes in the outfield as he learns his new position, hopefully they won't cost games, but how he adjusts and learns from his mistakes will determine how good he can be out there. I really don't think there is any player to really compare him to, he's such a different beast of a player, who knows he could end up being the fastest 260 pounder we've ever seen. As he plays the outfield more I'm guessing he'll shed a few pounds also. One thing that does concern me is the possibility of a hamstring flaring up, if he does start dealing with leg injuries that could end up spelling disaster for Sano and the Twins this year. I get the sense that people think this is a semi-permanent move to the outfield until 1B opens up. Has there been any reports out there saying that he'll never go back to third? I know Molly said he won't play third this year, I've always assumed this is just a temporary move until third opens up one way or another.

    Just thinking that 200 is in the realm of possibility is exciting. Considering that the most over that last handful of years has been just over 150 I'd be happy to see anything in the 170-180 range.

    Nice article, it's nice to see where all the trade branches go and what comes from them. Curious what the next oldest active "tree" is right now.
