    That would make the Twins a "stellar cellar dweller," big feller!
  2. Rick Blaine
    Twins starting lineup has only two players with batting averages higher than .228. Houston, we have a problem here.

    I like this alignment but would move San Diego to the west and Oakland (Las Vegas) to the southwest. I would try to keep the two Chicago teams together but St Louis and the Cubs have a longstanding rivalry so keeping them together would be optimal. Midwest Division. Cubs, Sox, Cards, Pirates and Guardians. North Division, Twins, Brewers,, Tigers, Jays and Royals. Could swap Royals and Guardians. A lot of Jay fans come to Target Field when Toronto is in town.

    I think Gordon's career will resemble Danny Santana's. A player in search of a position. We still have Royce Lewis in the mix.
  5. Rick Blaine
    Nice start. Garver!!!!

    Once Cave is ready, I think most people think Celestino or Gordon will go to St Paul. I wonder if it might be helpful for Larnach goes down for the month of August and come back in September.

    I love "It Happens Every Spring". Part of my baseball DVD collection!

    Jim Holt would be my pick also. Rich Reese close second. It was highly suspected Holt didn't make the 25 man roster in 1972 as that would make an odd number of African-American players on the roster and Calvin Griffith wouldn't allow black and white players room together on the road. He came up in September and hit over .400!

    I hope you're right.

    The smartest moves right now would be to trade Cruz and Donaldson. You wouldn't get much for them or would you get much interest. Their services really aren't needed on a rebuilding team-which we will be later this summer.

    I would click "like" but I don't see how on my phone.
  12. Rick Blaine
    Thanks. Glad I didn't mention it to my grandson. We still have tickets!
  13. Rick Blaine
    does anyone know when the gates open for today's game and what time we should be there if we want a Killebrew bobblehead? Thanks in advance.
  14. Rick Blaine
    My guess a couple more relief pitchers--- can never have too much pitching.
  15. Rick Blaine
    I'd pick Frank Quilici just because I like Frank Quilici. Best buck- ninety hitter around.
  16. Rick Blaine
    Cesar Tovar wasn't really a utility player. He was a regular who played a lot of different positions. As a Twin he average over 600 plate appearances for seven years and in 1967 appeared in 164 games (still an American League record---Maury Wills played in 165 for the Dodgers in 62) Not meaning to nic pic, just a friendly comment.
  17. Rick Blaine
    I'd rather coax Frank Quilici out of retirement. Veteran utility infielder with leadership qualities with World Series experience. I could be wrong but I think he's about the same age as DeRosa and Bartlett.
  18. Rick Blaine
    I haven't seen anything anywhere else either. It may have been Mackey and Souhan wishful thinking. Mackey was telling the story how Gardy had to put the Vanimal down---but he kept going with it. Maybe I didn't catch the satire.
  19. Rick Blaine
    1500ESPN reporting Worley let go.
  20. Rick Blaine
    1969 Killebrew played more games at 3B than he did at 1B. 1967 was his best at 1B I would have liked to have seen Tony-O's 1970 season recognized.
  21. Rick Blaine
    Is anyone concerned that we probably won't have a lefty in the rotation?
  22. Rick Blaine
    When are the Tanaka sweepstakes held?
  23. Rick Blaine
    But he's my favorite so I would explore options. It it is amazing reading the recent posts about what free agents the Twins should target. The names that stand out to me are Justin, Johan, Baker and Kubel. We might as well look at Torii and Punto too. The gang's all here:jump:
  24. Rick Blaine
    if he pitches close to last year-- he'd be our ace. I would be all for his return. A wounded Johan is better than our best pitcher now.
  25. Rick Blaine
    I wouldn't wouldn't mind seeing Kubel returning if he doesn't take at bats from Arcia. With Kubel on the team they would have to part ways with Doumit and possibly Willingham.
