    Mitchell Report Allen? I have no problems with Yesterday Eddie. I'd keep Mientkiewicz as well, just for the tantrums

    Perkins is into home brewing, his wife is into running. 12oz curls instead of marathons is his fitness regiment (and had shown big time.) Class Act? When he sued the Twins for demoting him when he sucked, or when he was throwing his Rookie Catcher under the bus (on the same Souhan who wrote this btw) while the Twins' Union Rep? Or when he threw the 2015 season by decided that he was "good enough to go", instead of getting his rear end to the DL and maybe the Twins would add someone else before the deadline. The only class act thing about Perkins is his "mouth". Bush league all the way. Glad that there is some sense in the Twins' FO and someone wanted to get rid of him last off-season. His fastball/slider plays when it is 95/85 but it is a batting practice combination at 90/81. The writing has been on the wall about Perkins. Souhan should had got one further and noted the other similarity between Perkins and Hughes: Ryan extended them both after career years, instead of trading them, and they started under-performing. At least there is hope that Hughes maybe can salvage himself in the pen, because Perkins is done. Stick a fork in him.

    I got a better idea: Why don't trade both Sano and Plouffe, sign LN Punto and Party Like Its 2007

    Unfortunately, there are only singular choices. Need an "all of the above" (as in Total System Failure...)

    a. Dozier and Plouffe do not deserve to be in the same sentence as Mauer. Mauer was an MVP, perennial All Star hitter, someone with a job in every team. The other two are middle of the road players, who happened to be better that the rest in the Twins' dark season, and ill-advised the Twins' brass instead of trading them and replacing them with Sano and Polanco (who are the future) decided to keep them and build "around them." Guess what? They are parts of the problem b. Brunansky's got to go. Period.

    The Cardinals' success started when Professor La Russa left the doping A's went to the Cardinals and brought some of his PED crowd along. PEDs made the Cardinals respectable again. Nice blueprint.

    I think that it is pretty naive to look at a sport, any sport and think that the minority problem in the Front Offices and Field Management will be fixed by quotas or mandates for interviewing minority candidates. The truth of the matter is that there is are not good pipelines to the FO and to FM for young minority people. Unless that changes, things will not change. How to change? Not sure that there is single way, but baseball needs to address the root cause here. Recycling the same minority managers is not part of the solution...
  8. Thrylos
    Sure

    DickNBert (and the radio guys) are Minnesota Twins employees. First amendment bought off. That's the problem with the system. Hope next CBA that broadcasters are not employed by the clubs. Too much conflict of interest.

    2006 post-season. A post-season in which the Twins were the favorites and had the Cy Young and the MVP winners. Belly up. That is when he should had been fired. But not. They dragged his and Andy's tail out for 9 more seasons and fired Jerry and Stelly before them. Nuts.
  11. Thrylos
    Duensing just opted out his KC contract and became a free agent
  12. Thrylos
    Can Kelly pitch?
  13. Thrylos
    Nice nap for Dozier there...
  14. Thrylos
    Any more Berrios - Hughes comparisons?
  15. Thrylos
    Yes, unless Ohio seceded and joined Canada
  16. Thrylos
    Guess Jorge Polanco does not have what it takes to be an MLB Shortstop.
  17. Thrylos
    What public pressure? Ryan has had teflon for 22 years. Remember "Ryan's magic wand" during the one and out seasons in the 2000s? Like going belly up every time they played the AL East was something they wore in pride...
  18. Thrylos
    Here is an age appropriate comparison: Johan Santana, first 5 starts: 22 IP, 13 BB, 13 K, 9.82 ERA (age 21)
  19. Thrylos
    Nope. It is all Jerry's and Stellie's fault.

    Have you check how Vargas has been hitting in May when it got a bit warmer? And Vargas has been playing mostly 1B (31/38 Rochester's games)

    The same Delino DeShields who like Graham was optioned in AAA this season?
  23. Thrylos
    Might as well make the Twins the Saint's development team...
  24. Thrylos
    Buck Britton and David Murphy have. Briton started 13 games at the OF, Murphy 10. And I am not even talking about Mastroianni. I cannot see how anyone can really think that he will not take PAs away from Buxton, Kepler and Walker. They did not sign him to sit him.
  25. Thrylos
    Why do you think that the 2 of them are mutually exclusive? Dean (who pitched better than Berrios) got Berrios' spot and not Hughes. Gibson is still coming back.
