    Collision lands Wilkin Ramirez on 7-day DL; Chris Herrmann recalled - Minnesota Twins news | 1500 ESPN Twin Cities ? Minnesota Sports News & Opinion (Twins, Vikings, Wolves, Wild, Gophers) | Sportswire: Minnesota Twins C/OF Chris Herrmann is back with the Minnesota Twins. It almost sounded like he'll be playing in the outfield rather than at catcher.... Also, the Twins now have 1 CF on the 40 man roster (Hicks). Should we add Richardson or Thomas? Or maybe a free agent?

    Ha ha I can totally see that coming. "LOL! We totally shouldn't have DFA'd Deduno! Now he's gonna go be a Cy Young in another rotation!"
  3. Danchat
    I don't like to interrupt your guys' conversation, but Wilkin Ramirez (aka the only CF other than Hicks on the 40 man roster) just left hurt and could end up on the 7 day DL. The Twins seriously need another CF. Just say goodbye to a catcher.
  4. Danchat
    Yeah! Mauer HR! We're actually winning!

    I can't see P. J. defeating the Tigers today. The bats will have to be on fire if we want to win. I'm actually excited to see Colabello-Parmelee-Ramirez bat. I hope one of them does something great.
  6. Danchat
    Yeah, I agree with you here. Benson isn't going to be good here and needs to get a fresh start in Texas. I don't buy the 'personality' stuff.
  7. Danchat
    In the end, this was going to happen. The only difference is it happened now instead of in 2 months. I'm fine seeing him off, I'm just worried, because, y'know, we have 5 catchers and 1 CF!!! (I guess Wilkin Ramirez makes it 2 but still...) We need to get another CF up here, even if it's Clete Thomas or Antoan Richardson.
  8. Danchat
    My thoughts exactly. Arcia can get some extended time in AAA (hey, weren't we expecting him to go back down after he came up anyways?) and hopefully make some improvements. Parmelee has conquered AAA, and his defense isn't a problem, so we just have to wait for his bat to come around.
  9. Danchat
    Pretty sure I just heard Arcia is going to AAA. I wonder if this is to make room for Walters?
  10. Danchat
    It's actually entertaining to see a pitcher TRY to strike someone out. Too bad he's just as awful as everyone else.

    Deduno is toast... it's 3-0 already. This is gonna get ugly.

    Dozier

    Danchat replied to DaveW's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk

    I just hope Dozier doesn't end up like Alexi Casilla. "This is the year for him to start!" Re-Evaluate. "OK now this is the year!" Fails again. "It's his time to shine!" And finally he got the axe last season. Seriously... just see what he's got, and when he finally proves he's not gonna be good, say adios.
  13. Danchat
    The obvious answer is that the opposing teams get all their runs in the 1st inning and then stop trying. They feel a little bad for us and rest up for when they face a real team.
  14. Danchat
    First overall pick here we come!!
  15. Danchat
    Well said. There is also no reason for Pedro Hernandez to be on the team either. He should be in AAA. Gibson is running out of innings, and we must see him in the "roto" soon.
  16. Danchat
    Boy, it's bad when the Twins haven't had a single hit and every player on the other team has a hit except for 1 guy. The Twins are reaching the point where we won't be getting back to .500 for the rest of the season.
  17. Danchat
    Reusse is probably the best. Warne and Mackey are right behind him in my book. Whenever Tom Powers writes about the Twins, it's fun to read.
  18. Danchat
    Here's the answer, folks. There ISN'T any power. Last year, many players had career highs in HRs. That was a GOOD year. Now, in a down year, I don't find it surprising. Willingham and Plouffe aren't on hot streaks. Mauer isn't a home run hitter. Arcia, Hicks, and Parmelee should get some more but that's about it. Maybe Clete Thomas or Chris Colabello could bring some power.
  19. Danchat
    I have to disagree. I think we should send Hicks down and do lots of batting practice. He's getting better and maybe this could help him improve. I would 60DL Mastro and add Clete Thomas to the 40man roster. Yes, I know, he was really inconsistent last year... but he's batting .346 with 6 homers, and last year in 5 times as many ABs he hit .232 and 12 homers. I've give the guy one more chance. Even though I'm a Parmelee fan, I must say Collabelo deserves a shot very soon. 60DL Wood could open a spot, and I guess Parm could use some batting practice too....
  20. Danchat
    I see less and less reasons to trade Morneau... he's one of the few guys the fans even know. He's pretty key for the lineup. Not sure if anyone wants to pay him $15M. The Hammer needs to get out of his slump and have a great summer if we want to get any value. However, I can see Perkins or Burton going. They are both pitching really well and maybe we could snub a team to give up a decent prospect-(capps for ramos anyone?)
  21. Danchat
    Brandon Warne has posted an intriguing article on 1500 ESPN.com. (Warne: Would Twins lock up a young standout? It has happened before | 1500 ESPN Twin Cities ? Minnesota Sports News & Opinion (Twins, Vikings, Wolves, Wild, Gophers) | Sportswire: Minnesota Twins) I can't really see the Twins doing it. Scott Diamond has plenty to prove and hopefully won't become the next Blackburn. Arcia is still really young. Plouffe isn't good enough yet. There isn't anyone else to warrant my consideration...
  22. Danchat
    I say we drop. The rotation is still really bad, and although Diamond and Correia look to be decent, Pelfrey, Worley, and Hernandez have been awful. I also see the batting dropping off, with so many guys batting under .230. Eventually our bad stats and injuries will catch up with us. (and sorry for being so pessimistic. I'm trying to be realistic.)
  23. Danchat
    Maybe it's just that time of year. Now we're playing everyday instead of getting 4 snow-out/rain-outs. Unfortunately Hernandez looks to keep starting for now. Maybe we could move him to the bullpen and call up a starter? (of course, somebody else must go down, I'm not sure who though)
  24. Danchat
    Arica, apparently, is a pony.
  25. Danchat
    Christian Ponder = Pedro Hernandez
