    Rendered all the more bizarre when you consider Florimon is 3 for 9 lifetime vs. Sale, whereas Escobar had never faced him.

    That baby on the right wouldn't be named George Herman Ruth would he?

    I guess I'm lucky in that I just enjoy having a team in Minnesota. Winning championships was an unbelievable high, but the lows are just baseball to me. There is always a point of interest to me, even with a losing team. I save my pessimism and angst for real life problems. Maybe it's a product of age. I sure didn't used to take the losses so easily in my youth.

    You going to the game ChiTownTwinsFan?

    SHOULDA WOULDA COULDA You guys are masochists. I regret Ortiz, buit that's about it.

    If Souhan is going to focus on personality, he's guilty of giving Puck a free ride for the shenanigans he pulled after retirement. Hard to imagine Mauer being less than a model citizen.

    My darkest age in over 40 years of watching the Twins: Don Beaver and North Carolina.

    Better to have a stinky team than no team. Watched that happen with the North Stars, and you lose all the good times with the bad, the history, everything. The Twins have had their peaks and valleys; I have little doubt they will rebound again someday.

    I was just going to post the same thing.
  10. Monkeypaws
    I think you answered your own question. If. If the offer is AAAA castoffs, why bother? If there even is an offer.
  11. Monkeypaws
    Great write-up - thank you. Do you really think Berrios grew? That would be a really late growth spurt no?
  12. Monkeypaws
    If your system is stacked with good prospects, then winning will be a part of the picture, especially at the lower levels.
  13. Monkeypaws
    If he's the guy we got from Atlanta, yes! Sorry Leviathan, my confusion.
  14. Monkeypaws
    Well, seeing as we were talking about a prospect, I assumed....
  15. Monkeypaws
    Throughout the entire organization? I've followed the Twins for a long time, and I don't recall them ever having the kind of pitching they have now. We are quite removed from the days of having Dan Serafini, Ryan Mills, or Nick Blackburn as our top pitching prospect.
  16. Monkeypaws
    It it nice to have that depth.
  17. Monkeypaws
    Good read. Geez, the Twins have some crazy depth for pitching now as opposed to recent years. Props to the front office for getting aggressive stacking up the arms.
  18. Monkeypaws
    Boy, Gibson looked very sharp in that inning. Firing bullets down in the zone.
  19. Monkeypaws
    I could care less, grammer nazis are dominate.
  20. Monkeypaws
    That is a pretty nice looking swing.
  21. Monkeypaws
    Drew hasn't his above .253 since 2010. If he was anything but a shortstop, nobody would be petitioning so vociferously to sign him. I still think Florimon's defense will offset any improvements Drew might provide offensively.
  22. Monkeypaws
    NY Daily News is kind of a scandal-tabloid sort of paper - interesting they would look at an ex-Yankee in such a nice light. They must have liked the guy.
  23. Monkeypaws
    Nice write-up sir! Always fun when ST just begins and everybody is there.
  24. Monkeypaws
    Yes, there is that possibility as well. They'd probably just suck it up with Suzuki at that point, unless Fryer can hit.
  25. Monkeypaws
    Makes sense to me to start Pinto in AAA. Play him every day and see what how he performs. If Suzuki really underperforms at the plate, then you make the move and promote Pinto to starter, Suzuki to backup, and Fryer or Hermann to AAA. Signing Suzuki was just the right amount of insurance - cheap one year contract, gives them a proven MLB catcher, but he doesn't block anybody who might do better.
