    Albers looks like he just saw a ghost. Oh wait, he did just give up 5 runs to the Astros...

    It has to be 2011. Everything went wrong. As the post above says, we completely fell down the division. Plus we lost the most games that year. And Nishioka.

    At least they're protecting him. I don't want Arcia to get hurt. (Reminds me of Plouffe's hand injury last year that wrecked his 2nd half.)
  4. Danchat
    Wait a second.... where the heck is Arcia? We have an all-medicore outfield!
  5. Danchat
    Epic fail, Mastro...
  6. Danchat
    I'm excited to see Pinto. And hopefully some more Arcia. Not much else.

    Here's what I think: 2B Dozier 1B Mauer DH Willingham RF Arcia C Pinto 3B Plouffe LF Presley CF Mastroianni SS Florimon C/OF Herrmann INF Escobar 1B/RF Parmelee OF Ramirez The Twins will switch to 13 pitchers when the rotation implodes again. Hicks and Sano are not ready yet. Hicks gets a call in May and Sano gets the call in late June. I know what you're thinking - Ramirez is on the team? He can actually hit...somewhat. Plouffe is on his last straw. Parmelee is also on the hot seat, but gets to play 1B when Mauer rests/DHs/plays C. (Happy Gardy? We have 3 catchers now.)

    I might have something to finally watch in the Twins game-catcher Josmil Pinto is being called up. (it was reported somewhere on Twitter) After tearing up AA and did even better batting average wise in AAA. He looks like the next Doumit-actually probably better. What do you guys think? Will he be an installment in the lineup for years to come?

    I'm happy we got something for Morneau... it ain't much... I guess we have Thomas, Ramirez, Mastroianni, and Presley now as our medicore OFs. Presley has spent most of his career in LF so I wonder if Willingham goes to DH. Of course, Arcia should be in the corner OF too.

    Cannot unsee. That's got to be photoshoped... they must look much worse in real life.

    MLB Trade Rumors reports the Twins asking price was too high. We wanted to claim Eduardo Rodriguez, one of their best pitching prospects. Not surprisingly, TR was too stubborn to make a move. Well, it's not that bad, Willingham could be better than a bag of balls next year.
  12. Danchat
    Is he supposed to be representing the Royals? ...Or every hitter who gets to face our starting pitching?
  13. Danchat
    Shane, your trick worked! Who should we do it on next?
  14. Danchat
    I thought he'd make the team. The release is pointless, he's out for the season. Are the Twins saving $$$ with this move?
  15. Danchat
    Gardy is going to be furious about that missed cover at 2nd. I wonder if everyone has given up yet. Most of us sure have.
  16. Danchat
    Jared Burton is about to get his 8th loss of the season. Odd, because he's fantastic whenever he's not pitching in a tie game. I don't get it.
  17. Danchat
    Man.... we chased out Vavra because our hitting declined... our hitting has gotten worse. Look at those batting averages. YUCK! And the strikeouts! I know we are a young team, but many players who batting averages should be much higher are struggling.
  18. Danchat
    Nothing will happen because the Twins are too afraid to pull anything off. There is no value in Willingham right now so no reason to jettison him. I have a feeling Perkins will have a down year and we'll be regretting we didn't even bother to listen to trade offers.
  19. Danchat
    I spotted Wilkin Ramirez on that list. Wow, Sano is good. Hope this guy will be our cleanup hitter for the next 10 years.
  20. Danchat
    I'll go with Yadier. Another catcher not named Mauer will win the batting title.
  21. Danchat
    Y'know last year at this time we were saying: "Diamond and Hendriks could be solid 4th and 5th starters. Unfortunately for us, they're currently our 1 and 2 starters." Now they're complete non-factors. I can see Deduno and Albers being complete non-factors next year. We are stuck in a cycle...
  22. Danchat
    I say... bring him up in September. Watch him bat. Let Doumit start 2014 as the backup and let Pinto dethrone him by hitting in AAA. Trade Doumit for whatever we can get in July and call Pinto up. That'd be my plan.
  23. Danchat
    Get a new pitching coach? That's what I want. It probably won't work... but we have to try something new in case it does work. And if it includes Gardenhire leaving, so be it, but I want Rick Anderson gone.
  24. Danchat
    Plouffe will in all likelihood sign his first arbitration. If he has another mediocre season I'd say no to a 2nd ARB.
  25. Danchat
    I'm all for signing a Japanese pitcher. Yu Darvish, Hiroki Kuroda, Koji Uehara, that Dodgers Ryu guy, and others have had tons of success. Just don't sign any more infielders from there. Ever.
