  1. We called up a future part of the playoff run, so I'm happy. Diamond/Hendriks/hopefully not Swarzak can take Gibson's spot. The only question now is who takes Deduno's spot if he's hurt/shut down?
  2. All we can do at this point is hope and pray that Gibson will be better next year. Maybe his arm will be more fresh/healthy next year. But the outlook is looking dim once again.
  3. Look... I haven't enjoyed all these veteran players playing. We haven't traded any veterans for some real prospects... (shoulda maybe traded Perkins?) Doumit in RF has given me stomachaches. Why is he playing there? There are so many players who aren't apart of the future and are starting. That's what I don't like. And on the starting pitching, I knew it would be this horrible. I'm glad we got May and Meyer, but I think May will be a bullpen pitchers and Meyer needs to stay healthy.
  4. Wow, now that was a play. Maybe the Black Sox have some life in them left.
  5. The Astros would claim him first in a heartbeat. He'd instantly bat 3rd in their lineup. Dozier does not have a big contract like someone like Uggla does, so every team would claim him through waivers.
  6. It's offical. Dozier is playing really well right now.
  7. Since when was Theiblar a LOOGY?
  8. Good to hear baseball players are mere mortals and have 'epic fails' like we do. Football, on the other hand... you never hear about these injuries. More like players tearing their knees apart, getting their back broken until almost paralyzed, and a certain player dying in the heat of training camp.
  9. MLB trade rumors says that the Rays are looking at either Paul Konerko or Delmon Young. Wouldn't that be ironic-Delmon returning to his former team! EDIT: Delmon cleared waivers and got released. He's a FA now. Not sure if anyone else knew that.
  10. We have a lot of starting pitchers rehabbing in AAA, but hopefully De Vries, Hernandez, and Worley get healthy so they can at least throw in Sept. if they have to. Deduno is going to be shut down soon? I'm not surprised, but this is the first time I've heard it. I really want to see Pinto, I think he's apart of the future. Parmelee and Tonkin need to get up here too. We have so many starting pitchers on the 40 man roster but so many are nicked up...or need to be shut down.
  11. I think it's time to turn on the Royals game and root for them. Just imagine their players in Twins uniforms... and picture Buxton stealing a HR in CF, and Sano belting a walk-off grand slam...
  12. Albers ain't close to making the rotation. He's thrown 2 starts. He'll have to keep pitching well to get a spot next year. Deduno is in, Gibson is in only because he needs experience... then probably Phil Hughes/Scott Kazmir/Scott Feldman and Diamond/Worley.
  13. I'll go with the future Punto/E. Escobar.
  14. There's only one way to prove this theory.... in two years, Plouffe must be playing for the Baltimore Orioles.
  15. Wednesday. 1:11 PM. Bottom of the 3rd. Pedro Florimon hits in Clete Thomas with a single.
  16. Lucky you. You actually have a life. The rest of us will watch the Twins game and try not to fall asleep/fall into a state of depression.
  17. Wilkin Ramirez, back from concussion, to fill Twins' open roster spot | 1500 ESPN Twin Cities ? Minnesota Sports News & Opinion (Twins, Vikings, Wolves, Wild, Gophers) | Sportswire: Minnesota Twins Outfielder Wilkin Ramirez finally returns from a concussion. This is his shot to try and stay on the 25 man roster and hold out until September, when his roster spot is probably safe. Recall when Morneau and Span returned from their concussions...frankly, they couldn't hit. Let's hope Ramirez can get cracking and lift that .244 batting average up. If he doesn't, Darin Mastroianni could be talking his spot back.
  18. Let's see... the starting pitching is as bad as I predicted. I didn't figure Deduno would do so well and I didn't know Worley would suck so much. Kudos to Arcia and Dozier who are hitting the baseball. Florimon is meh. Parmelee just needs to get it together, and the same to Hicksie. At least our batting and bullpen has moved forward. Our starting pitching... including the injury/struggles of Alex Meyer and the medicore pitching of Trevor May in AA... I don't see any legit solutions in the rotation outside of Deduno. And he could collapse next year. (a la Diamond)

    Liriano

    Liriano went 2 and a third innings and gave up 10 runs the other day. That's the pitcher we all know and love.
  20. I really liked Carroll, but he had to go. It should be about the future now. Let's go Kansas City! They're like us 3 years in the future!
  21. That was funny. Good to see these guys still having fun.
  22. I'm watching the Vikings game instead... I dunno, even though it doesn't count, who cares about the Twins right now?
  23. It's not Pinto time yet, I think we should get our injured guys back up and going. Willlingham, Ramirez, and Mastroianni are all nearing their recoveries. And don't forget about Parmelee...
  24. I say... Willingham replaces Bernier. And then Mastroianni will be added to the 40 man roster with De Vries added to the 60 day DL. Mastro will replace Colabello. I was going to say Herrmann, but with the potential of Doumit going on the 7 day DL.... I can't find a pitcher to demote. We should send one on waivers. Say goodbye to Duensing or Roenicke. Also, Wilkin Ramirez can be DFA'd, but I haven't lost faith in him yet. If he starts to hit again he could be could be back in September.
