    I'd really like to add Bonifacio to our bench. He could push Plouffe and back up all the outfield spots. I think he's worth the $3M, I just wouldn't pay him anything more than that. I am afraid that his hitting could fade, but his speed compensates for that. If we can get him, Parmelee is likely screwed.

    I would have liked to sign Capuano instead of Pelfrey... but as it stands, Arroyo is definitely better than Capuano. Arroyo has had something like 10 straight seasons with 190 IP and an ERA under 4.00 in 4 out of the last 5 years. Unless Correia is gone, I don't think we can sign either Capuano or Arroyo.

    Span wouldn't be making this team much better, maybe 2 more wins with him. If Meyer can fit in as a piece of the future (and not get hurt) then it will be a success in my mind, no matter how Span plays.

    I'd actually rather see Romero play 3B, but there's 2 big problems. Plouffe is getting paid and Romero isn't on the 40 man. Oh well, it doesn't really matter because Sano is almost here.

    Here goes nothing... C Suzuki 1B Mauer 2B Dozier SS Florimon 3B Plouffe LF Willingham CF Presley RF Arcia DH Kubel (Bench) 1B/UTL Parmelee C/OF Herrmann INF Escobar OF Mastroianni (Starting Pitchers) Nolasco Hughes Pelfrey Correia Worley (Relievers) Perkins Burton Thielbar Swarzak Duensing Fien Diamond Do I get something if I guess correctly?

    We have enough mediocrity at SP. Adding to what Thrylos said he's also nursing an injury. There's no way I touch this guy.
  7. Danchat
    I see Sean Gilmartin making the 40 man with Albers likely gone. Unfortunately, this also means we are likely going to see Kris Johnson makes starts at one point. Let's hope for minimal injuries this year.
  8. Danchat
    Correia is a definite option to be traded. And I hope Albers isn't a factor because that means either injuries or dysfunction. I do like Albers, but he's sub-par. I also think Albers is behind Diamond and Worley in the pecking order only if because they are both out of options.
  9. Danchat
    There are so many guys vying for this #5 slot that it's next to impossible for Albers to make the Opening Day roster, especially if Swarzak is going to become a starter. However, it'd be very wise for him to show his best and try to become the #6-8 starter, so that when the injuries come, he'll be getting called up quick.
  10. Danchat
    Ha. I realized that when I had just one minute left. So I had to spell Tsuyoshi correctly...
  11. Danchat
    About Parmelee VS Kubel... Parmelee is an above average OF. Kubel can barely play it. Parm hasn't hit well, but has the potential. Kubel is past his prime and was horrible last year. There's no doubt in my mind Parmelee is better and should make the team over him.
  12. Danchat
    123 for me! I couldn't figure out how to spell Cristian Guzman and I missed Ortiz and Santana. I was perfect for 2010-2013. But I know nothing about the 90s, cause I was born in '95. Oh, and A. J. Pierzynski is missing a space between the A and the J.
  13. Danchat
    We already have Bartlett. Moving on...
  14. Danchat
    Gilmartin is not on the 40-man. @Thrylos I'm baffled why TR would think Johnson has anything but OK... I probably did put Gibson too high. I don't really know anything about Darnell so you can pencil him above May.
  15. Danchat
    I pick Michael Young because I don't want Plouffe at 3rd. Depends on the price though, he's older and I don't want to pay him much. I think he's better than Drew and he's a high character guy. It would bring a little leadership into the dugout.
  16. Danchat
    Here's my thought on the ranks of the current Twins starting pitchers on the 40 man roster: 1 Nolasco 2 Hughes 3 Pelfrey 4 Correia 5 Deduno* 6 Gibson 7 Worley 8 Diamond 9 Albers 10 Swarzak 11 Duensing 12 Pressly 13 May 14 Johnson (Alex Meyer isn't on the 40 man) About #4 Correia... I have a feeling that the Twins are ready to ship him off. Alex Meyer could definitely advance quickly and reach the majors this year, so room must be made. If Correia pitches well, I think he'll be traded in June. *#5 Deduno... if he's healthy, he needs to start. I have no idea if he's healthy enough to throw though... #7-8 I rank Worley higher just because he's younger. Both are not going to contribute anything unless they have incredible comeback seasons, which is why Kyle Gibson is ranked higher than them. #10-11 Twins... Do NOT start Swarzak or Duensing unless 5 of the 9 guys ahead of them on the list are traded or on the DL. They are bad starters and need to keep their roles in the bullpen. #12 Pressly: I have a bad feeling that the Twins are going to try and convert Pressly to a starter and have him play in AAA. I think he's at his best in the bullpen. Please keep him there. Any thoughts or comments?
  17. Danchat
    @Tibs Gilmartin isn't on the 40 man and he has little talent. However, if this team actually likes Kris Johnson, Diamond could be in trouble. The thing is Johnson is a 29 year old Scott Diamond.
  18. Danchat
    No...he's 33 and his base stealing prowess is gone. Presley is a nice guy to hold the spot for Hicks when he eventually takes it. There is no need for Morgan.
  19. Danchat
    Hmmmm... while we haven't had a top 15 offseason, I can't say we had that bad of an offseason. $84 Million tied between three mediocre pitchers is a lot, but they are the only thing that is going to get this team back on track. Sign Josh Johnson or Tanaka he says? Those are worse calls!
  20. Danchat
    I think the correct statement is "bad teachers are worth a dime a dozen". I go to one of the smartest schools in the state and there are few good teachers. But I really appreciate a good teacher. And I would love to have Alex Meyer as a sub.
  21. Danchat
    Yeah, even though we may have something close to a decent rotation... I suspect we will revert to a 13-man pitching staff. That's just how we roll.
  22. Danchat
    For how bad Hicks played in AAA last year, I don't think he starts right away. Parmelee and Pinto have had limited success in the majors but Hicksie has shown next to nothing. He has to prove it in AAA first, like Pinto and Parm have.
  23. Danchat
    He has no trade value, but he has to get better this year. I think he figures out how to hit a fastball and he hits .260 with 15 HRs if he's given the ABs for it. And if we cut bait on him, we all know who will claim him... the Orioles.
  24. Danchat
    No surprise here, however, I suspected Colabello would be DFA'd. Maybe they feared a team will claim him.
  25. Danchat
    If Kubel makes the team, he should really only be the DH and pinch hitter. Willingham should get some reps at DH but it looks like he will play some LF. Parmelee perhaps? *Gets hit with a baseball*
