    Am I missing something here? Why are there only three finalists for all of the awards? I assume voting has already been done and these three "finalists" are just the top three vote getters but why not just announce the voting like they used to?

    Makes sense. He can't hit and is a mediocre fielder at best. That said take a flyer on him. I don't trust Gardenhire to run him anyway.

    Too few futility infielders. Never going to happen.

    They didn't sign Rogers until March so apparently they did have the capability of adding onto their payroll if they saw fit.

    What's even more sad is that Ortiz had a .997 OPS before he broke his hamate bone in 2001 and then a a.935 OPS after the all-star break in 2002 so we KNEW he was our best and most feared hitter. But of course he likely would not have become what he is today with our b.s. hitting approach. I love the article where he explains that we wanted him "to hit like a little b-tch". Just an irritating scenario all the way around.

    I realize I'm in the minority (pun not initially intended, but I'll go with it), but I don't see how logos or team names can be offensive. I can tolerate Cleveland getting rid of the logo but I would be really upset if they changed their name just like I'm upset that people are trying to force Snyder to change the Redskins nick name. There's history, tradition, and these names are meant to honor Native Americans. No one is going to pick a nick name that they're not proud of.

    Or maybe it was "Nothing is broken. What's to fix?"

    McCarver doesn't often say something intelligent but when he does it makes you take notice. I can't remember if it was Game 1 or the ALCS but he commented, "Managers should pay attention to pitch counts but they shouldn't be imprisoned by it." Makes sense to me. Detroit could possibly be in the World Series if Leyland wasn't terrified of letting Scherzer pitch. Which is odd considering he used to let Drabek and Wakefield go 150+.

    The thing that is irritating to me is that Gardenhire rarely skips a guy if there's an off-day. Not that it would have mattered the last few years but why would you not want Johan going every fifth day instead of giving him five days between starts and throwing our always garbage fifth starter out there.

    The Twins haven't drafted, developed, and kept an above average player since Glen Perkins in 2004 (Garza traded after 1.5 years). I don't know why we would expect them to suddenly start producing guys year after year until something changes.

    I think it would be ironic if this was the thread where Haessig made his return.
  14. notoriousgod71
    If he's the only signing- no thanks. If he's a precursor to multiple signings- yes.

    Of course a lot of it is his own doing, including watching a pop up land a foot from him, but the Cardinals defense is atrocious thus far. One of my many pet peeves about baseball is the pitcher's refusal to catch a ball hit right to him.

    Hocking was awesome.

    For a Twins team this bad they should be adding one or two quality pieces every year, not waiting until they're on the verge of being respectable and adding (at best) one. We don't have a 1b, we don't have a DH, we don't have any SP. We're going to need to fill all of those holes anyway. What's the harm in filling one of them now and having less holes to fill in 2016?

    This is just depressing. I admire the White Sox for at least trying to improve their team rather than wait for a tomorrow that may never come.

    What exactly is wrong with his shoulder anyway? History has indicated that shoulder injuries are worse than elbow injuries to pitchers so if it's anything severe it's yet another red flag.

    Our interest in this guy in particular doesn't confirm my disbelief in the front office. It's the majority of the guys we have interest in that makes me feel this way.
  23. notoriousgod71
    Most organizations this is correct. With the Twins I'm not so sure. Signing Correia would have been fine last year had it not been our "big" FA signing of the off-season. When it comes down to it I just do not trust this front office to improve our team significantly. Also a 4.00 ERA and 1.30 whip in Korea is not likely to translate very well in the states.

    What does everyone think about MLB's postseason coverage? I typically like TBS more than Fox because I can tolerate the announcing far more easily. I don't really care for Darling but I liked the early rounds with Eck, Buck Martinez, Joe Simpson, etc. I also like the pre and post game shows because it's obvious it's in the same manner as TNT's NBA coverage. I think Pedro has been a pleasant surprise for me and Olbermann has grown on me throughout the past two weeks. Verducci is ok and I think Sheffield is actually pretty decent. I'm glad they got rid of Dirk Hayhurst as I didn't find him knowledgeable or funny- a bad combo. Little things like "Who's your daddy" and the Olbermann mustache face Pac Manning eliminated opponents make it better in my opinion. Fox.... I absolutely despise Joe Buck. At this point I can appreciate McCarver (which is probably not a popular sentiment), but it's completely ruined by Buck who is an even douchier version of Hayhurst. I think the pre-game show has been helped by having the MLBN guys instead of Jeanie Zelasko and Kevin Kennedy, but using the NFL music angers me and I just don't like the overall production of the product.

    Why even bother on someone like this? I'm sick of the bottom of the barrel scraping we continuously do. Go big or go home.
