    I haven't seen anything - well done sir.

    Perkins had a funny tweet about it: "This is from last night and I'm still laughing. Phil *almost* caught it. "

    Ah the old two way street. Adjust or become irrelevant.

    Looking back at Correia's career, he was a MF NL All-Star in 2011. All Star! He is the Twin's Heatley, a true All -Star!

    Exactly - it is quite possible that NOBODY wanted them. Maybe, possibly, perhaps other teams GMs are as smart as the fans at Twins Daily who were desperate to rid themselves of this deadwood.
  6. Monkeypaws
    That is hilarious!
  7. Monkeypaws
    Silver lining time....

    Did you guys read the articles? 8+ ERA in college and a lower 90s upper 80s fastball doesn't get you drafted, plus late entry into the sport.

    The Rookie! It is wonderful to think there are talents out there that fell WAAAAY under the radar. It makes sense given his past. I always wonder how good the USA would be at football, i.e. "soccer," if our best athletes chose to devote their energies to it. Or any sport for that master - imagine a Wild defense full of middle linebackers. Unfortunately, american football is where a lot of our primo athletes end up.

    Let's let Gibson be Gibson - comparing him to Blackburn is as pointless as comparing him to Radke.

    Who am I to be different: HELLS YES!

    Great story - wish the kid a speedy rise through the system.
  13. Monkeypaws
    NOOOOOOOO!

    He has certainly put together a pretty nice season so far. If he finishes with 12-14 wins and an ERA under 4, I'd say "more of the same please."

    Top drawer article Seth. Illuminating.
  16. Monkeypaws
    Sorry to hear it - that AFL season really put him on my radar. Best of luck to him.

    Maybe I missed why exactly KS is out, but shouldn't we be as worried as we've been for Buxton and Sano? Take that 'stache down south young man!

    I think the positive outcomes of trading most of the usual suspects: •Create opportunities for current prospects. This is number 1 for me. •Save money - we don't care, but they do. •Avoid losing someone for nothing. Asset management 101. If you are holding your breath for a good prospect coming back, outside of maybe Suzuki, I thing Pryor type guys, damaged goods or older guys with limited upside, is likely par for the course. Still, nobody thought much of Escobar when he was acquired, and he has improved into at least a major league ball player. He keeps the Liriano deal from being a total loss. I will give the Twins credit if they at least get a few guys coming back.

    Maybe if he'd battle his tail off he'd do better? It sounds like RG is willing to let Arcia work through it, which is encouraging. I liked watching him up close: he is receptive to fans, and seems like a good teammate as well.

    I was at the game - I had front row seats on the overhang in right field. Oswaldo was looking up at the screen behind me while they replayed the play at 1st under review. I yelled down, "hey Oswaldo, hit one up here," and waved my glove at him. He acknowledged me with a smile and a nod. That was his next at bat. I think he was mad that he didn't deliver.... ;-)

    Hu's on 1st....
  22. Monkeypaws
    I'm all for clearing out the guys on expiring contracts - I just don't expect the Twins will get much for any of them outside of Suzuki. I agree, it is time to roll with youth.
  23. Monkeypaws
    Could the Twins play better with their current roster? I think they could. They are playing fundamentally bad baseball, and for that I think Gardy should go.
  24. Monkeypaws
    Very nice look - left me with a good 1st impression.
  25. Monkeypaws
    I guessed I missed where Stewart had a bum shoulder. Crud.
