    Kohl Stewart! Is that considered cheating?
  2. TNTwinsFan
    Ah yes...the prototypical leadoff hitter. I think I just read in a thread somewhere that the Twins don't really need a SS with a big bat/hit skill, rather an adequate bat with a good glove considering the monsters we have in Sano, Buxton, et al.

    And with the 7th (?) pick in the 2014 MLB First Year Player Draft the Minnesota Twins select ______________! Too soon???

    I just realized I was able to squeeze in an Amish reference AND a teenie-bopper faux pas along with a shout out to a FAR-OUT movement from central Europe in a Twins thread on a night where all those calling for a Mauer trade to Boston would be the best thing for his career due to the Jolly Green Giant in left field were absolutely vindicated!....and I'm STILL listed as a Junior Member Rookie on this blog! I think I just became the Bryce Harper/Mike Trout of TD....CHECK PLEASE!

    Its the lack of a mustache. Nice way to slam the door shut. Great game for us and I hope we can take it into tomorrow.

    Perkins looks Amish...

    You have a picture of a dude in a speedo WITH tan lines AND a TC logo?!

    Mauer with a flash of power!

    I just can't stop staring at the tan li...."TC" logo!

    Sorry everyone....that little episode was the product of a Disney World hangover....Please, everyone continue.

    Dave (and others), I only express optimism driven by almost 6 months of a lack of MLB. That, and the fact that as a red-blooded-'Merican I am compelled and almost feel it my duty to root for the underdog at every possible opportunity. Is Deduno a late bloomer with a #3 ceiling? Is a set up man in the 'pen? Does he completely blow up in the next 2 weeks and we all then reminisce about his amazing performance in the 2013 WBC while continue to debate whether or not he can tighten up his pitches around the strike zone and have someone somewhere work some magic with his "crazy fastball"? I don't want to crown him as the Ace of our staff yet. I just had a brief moment where I think pixie dust was sprinkled into mine eyes and I began flying towards some strange, beautiful star in the night sky...And when I arrived on that star, it wasn't a star at all! It was March in Florida, except EVERY DAY was March in Florida! And all the Twins Starting Pitchers were making each and every batter they faced take a few ugly/early Florida Spring swings! And it was MAGICAL!

    By the way, just to give some perspective into my ability to project winners: after tonight's first two NCAA Final Four Tournament games, I am......0-2......Luckily the rest of my bracket looks good as I had none of the winners/losers of these matchups making past the next round....Whatever, I'm a baseball fan through and through! March Madness bridges the gap to Opening Day!

    Deduno's Line for this WBC Championship Win: 5 IP, 2 H, 3 BB, 5K, 76 Pitches thrown, 46 for strikes.....Any of our current starters have a similar line this spring? On an equivalent stage? Methinks he looks like our #1 Starter right now. Maybe he settles in as our #2 or #3 by the end of ST? Congrats to him, his fellow Dominican teammates and his countrymen! Great win for them!
  19. TNTwinsFan
    4Ks through 2IP! And some are still calling for more tune up in AAA!? I guess I might be able to get behind a bullpen stint, but only if the Twins' starters were better quality. We'll see how he does the rest of this game and ST, but, man....its hard to argue against what he's done in the WBC! Go Deduno!

    $14m isn't significant because the Twins already have enough money for a Jackson/Sanchez/whatever type pitcher. In the same offseason, they're not going to dedicate $30m+ a year for 3-5 years to pick up two of those guys. It's not a smart move to make in this type of situation. They have the money they need to improve the pitching staff. More money isn't going to help much because they won't spend it anyway (nor should they). It's not a sure thing that they'll get a prospect for Justin but right now, his value is on the rise from being virtually nil last offseason. If he stays healthy, the Twins are looking at a half season of an .850+ OPS player and then a prospect for him at the deadline. The Tigers gave up a fair amount for Sanchez/Infante. The market is there if you think outside the box a little. Next July, the Twins could be looking at a solid return if they bundle, say, Morneau and Perkins into a deal. There may be a thread out there discussing this topic already, but lets pretend the Twins generally stick with who they have with their position players (not including the potential prospect call-up, etc) and they focus on adding SP through FA next year. What would be some REALISTIC FA SP pick-ups that might get them to a competitive position again?

    I don't think the kid makes enough to pay the fine!
  22. TNTwinsFan
    I think I jinxed him...but he didn't locate his fastball...

    I'm only watching on gameday right now, but I can say that it is usually pretty sharp. Judging by the score and Oakland only having 3 hits to this point, I'm assuming that Cole has it working pretty good. His curve is the best pitch that I've seen him throw. If he doesn't spot that fastball like he has been, I'd assume he'd get hit pretty hard. As long as he keeps mixing it up he'll be OK. High pitch count, probably out after 6 if he can get the outs...I'm not digging all these fly balls though! Is he typically a fly ball pitcher?
  24. TNTwinsFan
    Tonight is the first time I've been able to see Cole pitch...does his bender always look this good?
  25. TNTwinsFan
    How about just focusing on above average defensive guys up the middle and let the other 7-8 guys (DH included) hit? Obviously its ideal to have guys that can play above average in the field and in the batter's box, but those players seem to be rare... Not saying we need LNPs at those two positions, but quality gloves in the middle infield with average to slightly below average bats might get the job done...
