    Boomstick! For the record I don't think Cruz will be blocking anyone that we actually would want to see more ABs from. I don't actually expect him to be around past July but at least he is a legitimate player that teams may actually want to trade for come the deadline.

    In contrast, if the league had used the two division per league format during these years the Twins would have played in a Game 163 in 2004 and won the division outright in 2006 and 2010. It is very sad that these are the so-called glory days of this franchise. Particularly the 2002-2004 Twins were fun to watch and 2006 is the great "what could have been" year but this franchise did absolutely nothing in-season to try and improve the team when Ryan was in charge. Their best moves were dropping the dead weight that Ryan insisted on dumping on the team year after year. Bill Smith actually improved his teams in-season but the rest of his moves were criminal. I actually appreciate these teams less the further in the review they get as it's just annoying how poorly they were constructed.

    Matt Magill is not good so it's quite likely.

    Get out of the damn dumpster. These two won't help the Twins this year and they won't bring anything worthwhile back in trades. Please, Please, PLEASE change your entire mindset as a front office.

    The picture of Mauer lifting weights was one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

    JFC, by the time they figure out what to do Buxton, Sano, Rosario, and Berrios will be hitting free agency.

    If Schoop was 39 and three years removed from playing MLB I would agree. I like Schoop the player. I hate one year contracts.
  8. notoriousgod71
    Agreed, but you have to take incremental steps to improve your team. Sign a couple real players each off-season and suddenly you're a good team. Signing no one year after year and hoping for every single internal candidate to take five steps forward is a recipe for disaster.

    This roster looks like a 65 win team right now. Adding three or four bargain basement FA makes this team a 68 win team. Make some real moves to show you have some sort of interest in winning for a change.

    My idea of using the farm system is by trading question marks for established players. How many prospects are really going to cause people angst that they got rid of for a stud like Goldy?
  11. notoriousgod71
    They won the rights to negotiate with Nishioka. Turning point of the franchise, right there.
  12. notoriousgod71
    Yuck.

    I used to watch a lot (edit: a half dozen games per year) of Aussie baseball when MLBN showed games in the middle of the night and the just love Hughes over there. Some of the most entertaining postseason action I've seen is actually from their World Series. It's good stuff.

    Doing nothing or adding mediocre players will not get us closer to winning any year either.

    "Will you take Moya? Why not? No, Gimenez is untouchable. No deal. Bye."

    If we are not going to go after someone like Greinke with his contract when is an acceptable time to do so? There's always some excuse. The prospects aren't ready. The prospects are about to get expensive. Mauer's contract is too big. He might get hurt. He might get less effective. This might hurt our flexibility in the future. He might not make a difference. He might not be better than what we already have. He us blocking prospects. Just get trade for a legitimate player once and show you have an interest in winning, please. He isn't blocking anyone. Look at the starters we ran out there the past 15 years.
  17. notoriousgod71
    I think he'd be an excellent opener.
  18. notoriousgod71
    No, you see how they do in spring training. But I wouldn't say any of them have a track record that would cause me to ignore them being lit up in spring training.
  19. notoriousgod71
    None should be givens. All of them have been awful in either of the past two years. We don't have Mariano Rivera out there, folks.
  20. notoriousgod71
    Donaldson is the best of the bunch but I'd be very concerned with his durability. It would be nice to nice to add some more swagger to this team, however.
  21. notoriousgod71
    Bold move to ban a guy that actually pays money to watch this team play.
  22. notoriousgod71
    25 years ago the Atlanta Braves used 13 pitchers the entire season and one of them pitched 1.2 innings and another pitched 23.2. Those were the days.
  23. notoriousgod71
    Ryan would have waited until he had three sub .750 OPS seasons and THEN signed him.
  24. notoriousgod71
    You can't trade your ace during a push for the playoffs. No one would ever come to a game again.
  25. notoriousgod71
    Not to mention Jansen who has been awful since coming back from his heart ailment.
