  1. Jeffers defense is not major league level and the Twins NEED defense.
  2. No their fielding ability like an old man with a bad knee.?
  3. Yeah like Celestino, Larnach and Rooker that will really bolster the line-up; good grief.
  4. Gant did not lose it, Rooker's Cluster-f in the outfield did.
  5. Where? In the out field , even with his speed he is lacking, for the infield? This game showed why Arraez is a mediocre infielder on his best days, and Polanco should never play SS, but Gordon is no better at either much less every day.
  6. People pay to see their team win, not play some business BS.
  7. If they deserve a chance they will earn it in spring training; better than insulting paying audiences with rookies getting their butts handed to them. This gent earned his chance to be in the big league, do not insult him with petty prejudice.
  8. As one who is NOT a fan of Arraez, Second Base is the the fielding assignment his numbers show talent for, but at that, Polanco is only good at second also.
  9. I said he was over rated, period, he is, Twins need defense far more than offense and he is not good but at the in 40 more games than Asudillo he has only 17 more RBI, as I said you try too hard and you are picking nits while say I am picking nits; as I SAID, HE is GREATLY over rated, or to make you feel better as a whole ballplayer. -- ( In the old days, they would have called him a BANJO HITTER Which was NOT a plus., he reminds me of Lenny Green, without the base stealing ability.)
  10. Twins need his defense at Third BADLY, neither Arraez or Astudillo or Gordon are not a minus there.
  11. Astudillo fielding percentage .997 RF/9 9.09 RF/G 7.00 -- Arraez .985 RF/9 3.83 RF/G 3.22 Arraez is greatly over rated, I rest my case.
  12. Yep they are a real treat for the decreasing number of fans who paid to see a game.
  13. Oh, sure I will get out my video of every game, you try too hard.
  14. Yup, that is why I poo-poo all the -- Let's bring up x, y or k from the minors because they are sooo good.?
  15. It is not how often , it is too often when the at bat really counts.
  16. Not signing Simmons for Short Stop not as good as Simmons, WHY while losing a good outfielder, WHY?
  17. Probably got that from the way some speak of Cave, Simmons and La Tortuga, what goes around comes around while all the bring up blah, blah, blah as if it will magically fix the Twins is silly blind faith. The LaMonte Wade Jr. , Badoo etc. are doing well with another team, what makes one think that that would happen here of course Schoop and C.J. Cron are doing well with another team, why does no one miss them? Happ is doing well with another team, hmmmm....

    Saddest sports city

    Sports is now money, if it does not bring in large amounts of money, it is a lessor sport; sad but very true down to so called amateur sports.

    Saddest sports city

    That team is on the level of Minor League baseball, no matter how one wants to glorify women's sports. Women's golf is still second string and it has been around a long, long time with a Minnesotan Woman, Patty Berg who was one of the best. I nearly bought a set of her golf clubs at a large flea market at the Minn. State Fair Grounds, twenty years ago, as they were long enough for me, I am six feet tall, but while I have never broken, or bent a golf club, at that, they looked a bit fragile; I was curios what it would be like, playing with the golf club heads she had.
  20. You are right, it was only the sixties where the Twins won more than they lost, over the decade, and the nineties when they were close to even. I do know some years the Twins dominated but only one decade and not by much; it was after Tom Kelley left that the Twins became an embarrassment playing the Yankees. In 1971 & 1979 are the only two years of the ninties the Twins came out on top. I am AMAZED that in 2013/14 the Twins won the series in New York but got their butt kicked at home.
  21. I hope Garlick is in the Majors next season , with the Twins.
