    I missed it, there was a Matt Carson signing tonight?!
  2. Danchat
    I feel as if at this point in the season we all need rational explanations to why we are still watching the Twins.
  3. Danchat
    Look, I say don't put Duensing in the rotation because we have too many guys. I know, know. You're asking LOL wut? Correia and Deduno get a spot. 1 or hopefully 2 FA pitchers get a spot. And Diamond, Worley, Albers, minor league FA, Pressly can all fight for the last spot. Why the heck should we convert an underachieving bullpen pitcher into a starter?

    Teddy Bridgewater here we come!!!! I actually think Ponder is better because of his scrambling ability. I saw in the preseason that Cassel looked bad playing Musgrave's offense. However maybe Cassel has some pocket presence....

    YES! Good job Parmelee! Now you just have to solidify a starting job so I won't have to throw away my Parmelee jersey!

    I have to go with Mauer, because, frankly, he is the MVP. Dozier was struggling and looked just like Parmelee and Florimon in the first two months. Now he's clicking. If Dozier can do this again then he'll get my consideration. @IhadoPilgrim I'm hoping we'll be having the same discussion about Parmelee next year. Hey, I can dream!

    It's pretty sad when nobody can hit 20 HRs... seriously, even Coco Crisp has hit more HRs than anyone on this team! Even some guy named Juan Francisco has more! However, it's very good to see so many HRs spread out. Dozier and Florimon have surprised me with their power. It has been good to see everyone hit HRs (except Carroll and the scrubs).

    If there was an all of the above option, I would pick that.

    I have to agree with Shane. Try him out in the bullpen, and if that doesn't work, aidos. I'd take him any day over De Vries and Walters, but that's it. I think he's done as a starter.
  10. Danchat
    It is the fact how inconsistent he is. We want him to be one player and stay as one. Sometimes he can become invincible and hit homeruns with no problem and sometimes he struggles to bat over .220 in a month. His shoddy defense only adds to this frustration.
  11. Danchat
    The title of this topic is very misleading. I think we might get a lot of LOL wut?s. If we were a playoff team, I would make that trade. But Price isn't going to magically make us 10 games better. There is also no way I am trading Berrios at this point. Rosario I would offer.

    I think the key for Hicks is to forget this year and refocus for 2014. There isn't anywhere to go but up for him. (Well, I guess there is Mendoza line and the Butera line...) I hope he can cut those strikeouts. Our batting coach needs to teach to hit for contact. Unfortunately it seems to be the other way around currently. Our pitchers are throwing for contact and our batters are swinging to miss...

    The Twins Way

    Danchat commented on Jim Crikket's blog entry in Knuckleballs - JC

    It's a pretty good article. I still find it ironic how when we finally became one of the "richer" teams, we went completely downhill one year afterwards. It's not about the money.... However, the philosophy about pitching to contact needs to go. NOW. We can't go forward with the Plefreys, Correias, Diamonds, and Marquis pitchers. I'm not saying we should spend 50M or more on a starter, but we have to do something to find reliable starters.
  14. Danchat
    I would agree with the others and say it's too early, but if Dozier and Rosario continue the way they're going, we might have to trade Rosario. We have enough young guns coming up and we NEED starting pitching. It has to be a good deal for Rosario, because he is gonna be really good. Borderline top 10 2B in my opinion.
  15. Danchat
    Look, I love Gardy, I think he's a great coach, but he needs to go. I think Rick Anderson and TR's theory of "let's strike NOBODY out!" has really wrecked the rotation. Instead of signing pitchers who have a little risk and a chance to be good, we signed the most conservative non-strikeout pitchers money could buy. Look, I'd much rather can TR than Gardy. But Anderson has to go, and if Gardy will leave with him, so be it.

    If this guy hits a grand slam here... Cole De Vries might have the highest ERA ever. I think the record is 189.00.
  17. Danchat
    Scratch that, his ERA is actually 54.00. Big difference.
  18. Danchat
    HOLY CRAP! Cole De Vries's ERA is 108.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  19. Danchat
    Come on, Parmelee, get a hit! You have to do something to compensate for my Parmelee jersey!
  20. Danchat
    If I could have a dime for every time the Twins struck out with the bases loaded....
  21. Danchat
    Is there a -1 button?
  22. Danchat
    Just got back from the Vikings game. ...I have no idea why the heck I am going to watch the Twins game. I don't want to get any more depressed.
  23. Danchat
    Can anyone find the Gophers game that's on right now? It has to be better than this Twins game.
  24. Danchat
    He's having arm problems, so I probably don't claim him because of that. We have too many #5 starters, and I don't think another one could do any good. Though I would like to add something new and fresh to the rotation....
  25. Danchat
    I want to see Arcia return. Also, Collabello... I think he's a bench bat. He has so much potential to hit HRs. I could see him hit .200 with 20HRs. But that's a guy you want on a winning team, not a rebuilding one. And someone please teach Parmelee how to hit. He's done it before but now he doesn't know what to do and the coaches aren't helping (him)....
