  1. From Pastapadre.com Evidently the game is as awful as it's predictions. Fodder for a slow day.
  2. Not really. Maybe in comparison to someone like Deduno, but the Twins probably aren't going to pick their rotation based on the statistical output of spring training games; especially at this point.
  3. Yup. That seems to be how things are breaking down.
  4. Worley Corriea Pelfry Hendricks DeVries
  5. Yeah, his three shut out innings today seem to suggest you're onto something...
  6. We need to clean up (er, refresh), too. Quit being sexist.
  7. Let's just hope this doesn't cramp his capacity to learn or compete for RF; that's the only issue.
  8. Does he start in AA this season? If so, there's no reason to think he won't get a september call up. Recall, that the got a late start to his professional career, and the need to hold him back, might be mitigated.
  9. We can't possibly know what the roster will look like in seven years, that exceeds the team control for all players that rookies this season and next. We've got Mauer.
  10. Obviously because some one needs to give a presentation, given the easel set up on the other side. See the product is business lady friendly (duh!) Personally I'm glad TD (er, google ads) doesn't discriminate gender. The real question is what sites has Dave been visiting that he gets such ads....
  11. Hey, glunn, delete some PMs in your inbox, because I can't reply to the PM you sent me!
  12. That's fine with me. I'm not sure I'm fb friends with you and mike though. I am with Dave. And kab, I'd hate to lose your baseball presence on this board, though I appreciate your recent frustration; the overzealous, i imagine, will eventually learn their place.
  13. @mnfanforlife kab21 is right. Look, it stinks, but no one is going to be convinced by your gut-level optimism. It defies not only Hicks track record, but it also ignores the context and history of prospect development. While everyone has a right to an opinion, not every opinion is valid--that is, not every opinion is as hard-won--some research more, can put stats in better context, have a greater familiarity with development, knows well the difference between ceiling and career year, etc. Rather than suggest that those who don't agree with you are haters, while it takes some humility, accept that you could probably do a better job of projection and analyst. After all, witness again how you responded to Leviathan in one post: You can't really expect anyone to take you seriously, when an optimism without consequences underpins your point of view, can you? Good luck, and I hope you have the courage to refine your approach.
  14. My problem with Pearl Jam is that they don't demonstrate much musical and vocal diversity--they seem to exploit the same kind of brooding guitars and vocals throughout all their hits--though sometimes their poignancy is undeniable. While I like the sound, beyond Pearl Jam's lyrics (and even then...), I don't necessarily find them particularly artistic. Pearl Jam just has nothing on Nirvana, imo.
  15. Three weeks in the present is rarely worth one year in the future, so much so that it seems like an imprudent exchange to me. I guess we're at an impasse.
  16. I still think the offense has the potential to be quite good, esp. if they stay healthy and consistent.
  17. I think you're confused about how your posts are coming off.
  18. If we were competitive my tune may change, depending on our personal. It's only in hindsight that we can say the Angels would have made the playoffs if they broke camp with Trout. The Angels had plenty of OFers and recently signed Pujols, there was no reason to think they needed to 'rush' Trout to the show in order to compete. I'm sure the Angels are happy with the extra year of control, and that will probably matter to some extent both in terms of Trout contract and when they decide to extend him. The Angels have more leverage now that they have Trout for another year; that's a good thing in my mind, esp considering the context of why Trout didn't start the season with the club.
  19. Sure, an additional year of team control may not matter; imho, I'd continue to try get that extra year of control, whether it has historically mattered or not, because in my mind, that extra year of team control could be a boon in some instances I don't foresee.
  20. Why is having him, or the option of having him, at age 32 necessarily a bad thing? While players may digress in their thirties, they might still be valuable players, especially if they are arb eligible. We'll see what the Twins do, but I don't see how gaining an extra year of player control isn't the best outcome (esp. if they really believe in punting the 2013 season).
  21. Can anyone put any perspective on how Eddie Rosario is handling 2nd base over this past week?
  22. I was worried there might be something going on. He was only at 15 pitches. Maybe someone was listening and could mitigate my concerns...
  23. Oh, wouldn't it just be awesome, if Gibson turned out to be special. God, we Twin fans need something to rally around.
  24. The commercial kicks ass. When I listen to the song, I imagine I'm that guy.
