    Minnesota Twins: Could Justin Morneau go in August instead? - TwinCities.com
  4. PseudoSABR
    If they can't get acceptable value now; Morneau surely would pass through waivers and could be traded in August when teams needs become more clear and desperate.
  5. PseudoSABR
    Dan Connolly ‏@danconnollysun2m And I've heard from another source that -- wait for it -- the Orioles arent on Morneau. Again.

    From earlier: Darren Wolfson ‏@DarrenWolfson40m Re: $$ & Morneau - indication I got from a #MNTwins contact, @DeerJT: they'll eat some $$. But want a decent return. Tough w/ Justin stinky.

    I thought it might be worthwhile to collect the tweets and other info the sputters around the interwebs. I'm sure it will be anticlimatic, but I find the information mining vaguely fun. Phil Mackey ‏@PMac2110m RT @TBrownYahoo: Word from Twins camp: "Painfully quiet." Jon Heyman ‏@JonHeymanCBS1m #orioles, #pirates, and others are in on #twins justin morneau http://cbsprt.co/132YjRR

    Sounding more and more like we won't make a deal until August. Maybe Morneau, Pelfry, etc. can build actual value over the next month.

    I'd like to see him go through the league a couple more times (he's only faced three teams twice this year) before I make that call. But I've got hope.

    While there's plenty to be cynical of, I found this quote illuminating and reassuring:
  12. PseudoSABR
    That's a lot, for a supposedly mid-rotation starter. Sometimes the unknown has more value than the known.
  13. PseudoSABR
    Luke Bard showed up in the GCL box score.
  14. PseudoSABR
    I always thought he ended up with the Angels organization in some fashion, as a roving coach or whatever, but maybe I'm misremembering. My point is that it would have been nice to have a continued to Latin presence within the organization...
  15. PseudoSABR
    Sure would have been nice to have Rod Carew in the fold all these years...
  16. PseudoSABR
    Allen Hanson here we come. #wishfulthinking

    I think lots of people view them both as kids. Though, the whole legal adulthood thing gets in the way of how things shake out in the normal world.
  18. PseudoSABR
    Has that EVER happened?
  19. PseudoSABR
    The organizational rankings seem a little lazy, and it's hard to tell whether the scouting reports themselves have been updated much at all..
  20. PseudoSABR
    I love your sarcasm! It's so dry!
  21. PseudoSABR
    Demanding that your players respect the game is NOT why the Twins have been losing the past couple of years. As Smerf suggests, ML pitchers wouldn't be happy with that kind of behavior, and Sano is putting himself in a position for retaliation (an thus getting hurt).
  22. PseudoSABR
    Again, beyond Grienke (who I seriously doubt would sign here) no 'chances' would have improved the club to competition (any thing less isn't worth the money, imho). Such was our lot, last offseason.
  23. PseudoSABR
    I think you're offbase, my friend. It didn't take any special wisdom to see the rotation would be mediocre at best (and really, again the failures of Worley and Diamond come heavily into play when turning mediocre to horrible). And no there was not clearly more out there, beyond Grienke (and Sanchez, lesser so), the Twin were only enabled to throw wet paper against a wall and seeing what sticks (those who say differently are picking and choosing between hindsight and exclusive reliance on statistical analysis). We all agree they should have gotten more wetballs, but they did acquire four potential starters (KC, Worley, Pelfry, Harden) and expected the emergence of at least one from the minor leagues (Gibson). The narrative that the Twins didn't at least try to address pitching depth is totally bunk. It's silly to argue about wet balls of paper, and I'm fine with disagreeing with people about our capacity to sign Grienke. There's no apologies here, but I am getting impatient with harshness and haughtiness of the criticism.
  24. PseudoSABR
    Everyone, prepare.
  25. PseudoSABR
    This. No one's apologizing for a mediocre effort, but let's put it into perspective.
