    So the reason to sign him is cause he's not Nishi...you make a powerful case my man.
  2. DPJ
    No, but it's shining the light on the failures on just about every level this franchise is going through. I'm sorry if you wanna bury your head in the sand or plug your ears, but there's a reason this team has been this bad the last couple years and I don't think myself of anyone else should apologize for focusing on it. There's a good mix of neg and pos on this board, I think it's good for debate and good for a board to have both views.

    Could have been you and I if you wouldn't have ruined it.

    Message boards, blogs, newspaper comment sections (god help us all) are just forums for people to bitch and complain about things they have no control over. Hell this place is where I let most of my hatred (DAVE) and anger go so I don't bring it home to the Mrs. and youth.
  5. DPJ
    What's the point of a message board then?

    Coming from a miserable **** like myself I find no joy in watching this team the last 2 seasons. There are a couple of guys that personal are having great years but overall this franchise is a mess right now. Sorry it's not all peaches and sunshines but the Twins are a mess and there's no light at the end of the tunnel anytime soon.

    1. Ryan was part of the organization when they signed Nishi, please stop acting like everything wrong with this organization is/was Smith's fault. 2. Please tell me you're joking about Darvish?
  8. DPJ
    This is a bit right?

    Sweet Jesus...

    BABIP'ed the Twins outta 15 million.
  11. DPJ
    Well it is one of the most colossal mistakes in scouting I've ever seen. How the hell do you give up 15 million dollars for a guy that can't play baseball? He can't hit, he can't field...he has no tools besides speed that would lead you to believe he could be an everyday player.
  12. DPJ
    Maybe Dozier just isn't a major league player, instead of looking for improvments the Twins are getting a good look if this kid is even a major league starter. Even with his .890 OPS and plus defense (RP) this could just be the case of a guy that can't hack it. Granted I'd still give him all of next season before the guy is written off, but I personally nothing wrong with throwing a kid in the deep end and seeing if he's gonna sink or swim.
  13. DPJ
    Don't know if someones mentioned this cause I don't wanna read through all the posts, but IMO with the new signing deadline I think we'll see the Twins promote younger guys a bit more agressively. Not so much once they hit full-season ball, but now that you have to sign earlier and it gives kids a time to get their feet wet in the GCL or E-town. Hopefully that should lead too some kids hitting fullseason ball quickier.

    So I never use the word "earn" but you thinks that's what I'm implying...top notch as always Mr Nelson. I don't think he needs to return to AAA, I think he needs to take his hacks and lumps and go through what most rookies go through. Plus what's the point of sending a guy down for a few weeks only to call him up when rosters expand in September.
  15. DPJ
    Parm is no OF, he's best at 1B or DH. If the made Doumit an actually backup C/1B then it fixed everything but I don't see that happening.
  16. DPJ
    No doubt, I'd finally love to see the Twins sell high on a player then low. But I just really have my doubt for what Revere could bring back. Young, cheap MLB ready pitching is the gold currency of baseball right now and I just don't see Revere fetching all that much in a trade.
  17. DPJ
    Revere is always gonna be one of those guys that lives off a high BABIP. Hell fair or not Ichiro has a career .347 BABIP and he's a pretty similar player to Revere. I'd personally rather move Revere then Span...but it's crazy to think Revere can live in that .340 BABIP range for his career.
  18. DPJ
    Where the hell did I use the word earn slick? Dozier is up and should stay up cause he's the best the Twins have now and for the future...and that's what's best for the team.
  19. DPJ
    And who do you replace Dozier with then huh? Yeah Dozier hasn't been great but who the hell is there in this organization that's better while offering some potential for the future.
  20. DPJ
    Doz is up and should stay up cause he offers some hope in the infield, Nishi is just for no other reason then cause he's owed money. I think it would send a pretty ****ty message to send down one guy who rightfully deserves to be in the majors while playing a guy that has no business being on a major league roster.
  21. DPJ
    That's a great message to send to the club...send down the guy who although he's struggled actually has a reason to be at the big league level. So they can play the Asian fellow who has no busy at the MLB level, but he's owed some money.
  22. DPJ
    I've never been high on Doz, IMO he's a Carrol-like utility player. But what's the point of sending him down, let the kid work through his lumps and either get going or crap the bed. In lost seasons you ride out the kids and figure out if it's one less hole you have to fill in 2013. Blackburn and Nishi are in the majors for the same reason, they're both owed money going into 2013. If neither of these guys weren't on the books for 2013, they would have been shipped out months ago.
  23. DPJ
    Nishi has no future with this team, Dozier does. In a lost season you play young guys who actually have a future with your club, not overpaid mistake signings who's only up cause he's making 3 million. 20-25 games doesn't change anything, he can't hit and he can't field worth a damn.
  24. DPJ
    Same a bit of the game and Nishi still looked like **** from here, bad at-bats and crap-tastic defense.
  25. DPJ
    Mijares traded to SF, just couldn't keep him around for 700K.
