    What the hell does being an All-Star have to do with anything? I don't think it's crazy at all to think that Hicks conbination of hitting, defense, arm & speed could far be more valuable then Arcia's bat and modest defense.
  2. DPJ
    Well I am dense cause I have the nerve to actually look up something.
  3. DPJ
    I'd take Hicks up the middle skills over Arica. But love what's he's been doing.

    They sure did run him outta town by offering him a deal that still made him the highiest paid manager in the game. Look at all the losing they've done since Torre refused that contract, I'm sure the Yankees are really regreting it.

    5 million base pay with another 1 million in bonuses. 5 million, which still made him the highiest paid manager in the game. What an insult and knee jerk reaction from the Yankees. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3069115

    Stubbs -.668 OPS Span - .731 No doubt Span is the hitter player right now, but if the upgrade that large that you would give up a top prospect. Is the gain really that large?
  7. DPJ
    One bad series...try again. NTM they offereed him 5 million to come back, Torree turned it down. NTM it's not like Giardi has had any issues winning with that roster. Maybe it's cause the manager for an AL isn't that important. Fill out the lineup card and don't treat the pen like a idiot.

    First off none of those guys are coming here. But why does the replacement have to have a long resume like the names you listed. A couple years ago no one knew who the hell Maddon was, but he worked well with the young talent in TB and now IMO he's the best manager in baseball. You can go find a smart and progressive manager out there that doesn't have the "vet pressense" you yern for. Instead of a long resume the Twins need to find someone who can work with the kids coming up, won't play favorites and can take the ups and downs that come with young players. Something Gardy doesn't do.
  9. DPJ
    I have a question Dave...what is a superior option to Gardy?
  10. DPJ
    How does Gardy continue to get a free pass from some people for the complete lack of fundamentals this team has showed over the last couple season? This isn't a young team with a bunch of fresh from the minors position players. All spring training all we heard was getting back to the basic and spending extra time on the simple things. But yet vet major league players continue to make boneheaded errors and just stupid plays all over the field.
  11. DPJ
    Is Span really that big of an upgrade over Stubbs that it's worth giving up a solid prospect or two?
  12. DPJ
    And all that franchise does is lose games. BTW what knee jerk reactions and quick fires have the Yankees made recently?
  13. DPJ
    Why in the hell would Francona want to manage a rebuilding team?
  14. DPJ
    1. The Twins are 9th in the AL in run scored. A solid lineup but far from singlehandly winning games. 2. The OF prospects of Hicks, Benson, Arcia are nice prospects, but at the end of the day they're still just prospects. More will fail then succeed, so I don't know how you can already start pimping an OF when we don't know what we'll get from any of them. 3. I don't know even know how the hell you're already talking about Doz, Ploufee and Parm as average or abbve-average players at this point in their career.
  15. DPJ
    Just cause you don't hire a guy who doesn't have the track record of Gardy or any of those guys doesn't mean you're getting any less of a manager. This is AL baseball, it's not that tough to manage. Just don't put Matt ****ing Tolbert in the 2 spot and be ok bringing your best reliever in in the 8th inning.
  16. DPJ
    He's gonna go back to the GM that fired him?
  17. DPJ
    Imagine Kubel outside of a fantastic hitters park in AZ?
  18. DPJ
    JR already said he's going for ceiling over availability to help the major league club. How does blowing things up not give you a better draft position? How do you waste the primes of a bunch of kids in the early 20's on the farm?
  19. DPJ
    Yes, no sense have the Vavra, Ulger and the rest of the Keystone Cops still around. I'll take any disciples from the school of Madden.
  20. DPJ
    It's hard not to wright off a guy who's had two completly wasted seasons during his short career.
  21. DPJ
    cue dave
  22. DPJ
    I hear he's doing a hell of a job at Stout or whatever backwood Sconie ****hole he's at.
  23. DPJ
    They need to find someone who's younger, someone who can grow with the rosters. Who's willing to take the ups and downs of young talent, who's progressive and doesn't need someone who "handles the bat hitting 2nd" or believe in vet pressence. Who's the dude with the huge beard on the Rays staff? EDIT-Dave Martinez
  24. DPJ
    Maybe after the deadline JR or DSP will come out and give a state of the union type address for the franchise, cause this is just bad.
  25. DPJ
    I'm not trying to be a dick, but I gotta say it. Is this current abomination really maintaining a semblance of a major league club? I guess you're right that's it's too early to talk on the plan when time hasn't been given yet. But I'd really love for JR to come out (maybe he will after the deadline) and explain to Twins what his goals and plan is for the future.
