    That's exactly what I was going to say.
  2. Monkeypaws
    I'd classify Ryan's actions as decisive rather than aggressive.
  3. Monkeypaws
    The Twins targeted a couple guys they wanted, and they got them. I see nothing wrong with taking care of business like that.
  4. Monkeypaws
    Seeing that so much of my attention to the Twins is devoted to their prospects and younger players, if key prospects continue at their current rate of success as they advance, I'd be pretty happy with that for starters. Hopefully, a MLB staff can help the big club escape the Central cellar and maybe even approach .500. So, prospects keep kicking butt + free agents pan out = success.

    That pic of Kirby running the bases after his game winning homer, screaming at the top of his lungs and clenching his fist, is forever etched in my memory.
  6. Monkeypaws
    I would love to see Pelfrey come close to the numbers he had in 2008 or 2010.
  7. Monkeypaws
    Good stuff as always Seth. I like Gilmartin's simple metric; it's pretty true.

    •No real leadoff hitter •No real cleanup hitter •Weak bottom of the order •Lots of guys prone to strikeouts •General lack of clutch hitting Those were the problems that plagued the Twins last season. We dropped Morneau and added Suzuki and Kubel. Unless guys like Hicks, Arcia, and Plouffe step up to a higher level, there isn't much to be optimistic about offensively.

    I'd prefer to roll with Florimon-Escobar and keep the second. Drew ain't worth it. I believe there is still some upside to be gained with these guys.

    I saw on Yahoo today that now the Yanks have passed the luxury mark, that they were going to make a run at Drew. http://sports.yahoo.com/news/yankees-interested-ss-drew-163108104--mlb.html

    I like his answer to what his strengths are: "the strikeouts." Seems like a very coachable, professional kid. Thanks Seth!
  12. Monkeypaws
    Nice read - thanks for posting it.
  13. Monkeypaws
    So on Yahoo they are saying 5 teams made formal offers: Chicago, Chicago, Dodgers, D'backs, Yanks.
  14. Monkeypaws
    There wasn't dramatic progress, but coming to a new team, he did make marginal improvements in every statistical category, more innings pitched, lower ERA, fewer walks, and more strikeouts. One step at a time I guess.
  15. Monkeypaws
    Nice read - didn't really know a thing about this 7th rounder. Good luck to him.
  16. Monkeypaws
    Slam dung for Kershaw - not for fans wanting to watch the game. The owners pass 100% of that mad money on the backs of the fans. /end old fogie rant/
  17. Monkeypaws
    I remember the shock and outrage when Puck pioneered the 3 million per season contract. Tickets were a lot cheaper back then too, less than $10 to get in. Coincidence?
  18. Monkeypaws
    Not an albatross, but you don't want to many guys making 10 million + on your roster that aren't producing. Bad contracts tie up resources better spent elsewhere. Not that I think Garza wouldn't give some bang for the buck on those terms.
  19. Monkeypaws
    fify
  20. Monkeypaws
    At least it's not a performance enhancer - his numbers are legit.
  21. Monkeypaws
    Deduno McRib is brilliant!
  22. Monkeypaws
    Best top ten vid presentation I've watched in a good while. I prefer comedy over drama, so this hits me where I live. Great surprise, thanks Parker!
  23. Monkeypaws
    For the Twins, having a surplus of anything would be good - starting pitching? I can't imagine a Twins team with that. Maybe the 65 Twins. 87 and 91they won World Series with short staffs.
  24. Monkeypaws
    Pedro had some flashes in his first full season in the bigs. If he shows any progress at all, fewer errors, higher batting average, fewer whiffs, he will be a decent MLB shortstop.
  25. Monkeypaws
    Good read - thanks for posting it.
