  1. I'm all for Casey Fien. He pitched really well last year. I like Robertson too because he can get some Ks. We should keep Walters, Deduno, and De Vries in AAA in case someone gets hurt.
  2. I think it's a good idea. We need a #1 or #2 batter. I'd sign Sanchez or Kelly if they're not overpriced. Terry Ryan, however, announced they will use their team options at SS and 2B. He seems to want a 3B, for whatever reason. Play Plouffe, and sign a middle infielder! Our 2B and SS are going to be infinitely mediocre.
  3. The Chicago White Sox have signed Jeff Gray to a minor league deal. There's your World Series Champs, folks!
  4. The .500 line? Are you kidding me? We are going to go under the Mendoza line.
  5. Outside of Kevin Correia, I think TR had a good offseason. However, I believe we are going to lose 90-plus games again and possibly hit the 100 loss barrier. Gardenhire is being left out to dry if he has to turn around this team in 2013.
  6. You know what would be worse than signing DeRosa? Overpaying him.
  7. TR was using the sarcasm font, right? Right?!
  8. That was before you went senile?
  9. As I quote Pat Roycy, if Correia is worth $10M, then Grienke is easily worth $147M.
  10. I'd take Capuano or Harang over Lannan or Myers. I'm guessing they're not going to be expensive...?
  11. 1 Mastroianni CF 2 Carrol 2B 3 Mauer C 4 Willingham LF 5 Morneau 1B 6 Doumit DH 7 Parmalee RF 8 Plouffe 3B 9 Dozier SS Gardenhire believes Dozier is a SS. They'll play him until they realize he's a 2B. Shaun Marcum will be the Opening Day pitcher, with Diamond and Worley and a bag of balls behind him.
  12. Umm.... Joe Benson sucks and needs to be in the minors. Mastro then Hicks in the summer.
  13. This is is our best hope. We can't possibly sign anybody better. He's a No. 1 on our staff. He's a #3 on a normal staff, or a #4 on the Phillies or Rangers.
  14. I bet it's gonna be Hannahan. Can he play 2B? But a .238 career hitter (.316 OBP)....28 HR in his career...no thanks.
  15. Ponder has been bad, but shouldn't we be blaming the WRs? They aren't there. I think the title of the topic should be: AIDS>Jerome Simpson
  16. He had one bad year. Don't overpay, but definitely call him.
  17. In the wake of Denard Span's trade, the Twins will likely have Ben Revere bat first. However, that creates a hole, because he batted in the #2 hole last year. Jamey Carrol and the infield carousel aren't good enough to bat there. Chris Parmalee (if he starts in RF) isn't a typical #2 batter. So, who do you think will bat #2? Will a free agent come bat there?
  18. Goodbye Denard. Good luck in Washington. Now, let's see how this kid pitches. Please, this better not be another terrible trade!
  19. Give Plouffe another year. Let him play. Worry about starting pitching and SS and leave 3B for next year.
  20. Is now a good time to jump off the ship? I mean....captain TR believes the ship is still floating, however, clearly, half the boat is underwater. I say we 're-build' and make a life raft, or we can believe the illusion we aren't sinking. In all seriousness, I think Liriano will follow Drew Butera, the hispanic pitcher whisperer. If he can get on a team. (he's not going to be tendered, right?)
  21. If only we could have the nice salary caps and team-friendly contracts like in the NFL....
  22. Interesting. It looks like the Rays are making Longoria 'their guy'.
  23. Since everyone is overpaying, I'd say 2 years $16M.
