  1. At this point I think what is best for the offense is for the most part Morales playing first, Pinto at DH. If you're scared of both catchers being in the lineup have Hermann replace Parmelee on the roster. I could not care less about risking the loss of Parmelee
  2. The issue is that by rule he cannot go down to the minors unless he clears waivers, wether he agrees to or not, so another team could claim him, and would claim him. He can't go to the minors unless he clears waivers which is impossible.
  3. Critical question: Does he golf left handed or right handed?
  4. When and if Mauer, Willingham, and Arcia are all back does Plouffe continue to bat third?
  5. He's always said fourt, fift, and sixt before the word inning (which he pronounces 'enning') instead of fourth, fifth, and sixth. Missing the "th" there makes it a little interesting that he says Zobrith. Another interesting thing about Bert is he rarely uses possessive nouns. He always says "You see the strength of Justin Morneau" instead of "Morneau's strength" or "the speed of..." Many languages don't have possessive nouns, like Spanish, and I can be common or speakers of those languages to not use possessives when they speak English as a second language. I don't know about Dutch, but perhaps his parents spoke this way while he was growing up.
  6. Ok, so I want to be clear here. If I tell people that the guy the Twins traded JJ Hardy for (who the Twins traded Carlos Gomez for) is now a 9th grade math teacher in New Jersey, I'm telling the truth? And I'm not making a fool of myself? thanks.
  7. Hicks has had several points in his career where he's had people heading for the exits on him only to pull them back at the las second. He's about getting there now in the majors. Personally, I still think he'll pan out.
  8. Just saw it on the broadcast. Good move.
  9. Yeah the ST coverage was awesome. I remember discovering this site two years ago and having back and forths with my brother about how awesome the Twins coverage was compared to "traditional" sources. Now I sort of just take it as matter of fact when they do something awesome. And actually, as scornful as the forums may get I learn quite a bit from reading the posters on here too.
  10. That's great. I remember the Twins leaving camp in 2011 for Toranto with an entirely healthy MLB roster. They're weren't any injury problems for the team that season were there? Any that popped up in the first week of the season? Couldn't of been.
  11. Whoa whoa whoa. I think you're onto something.
  12. Tell me not in mournful numbers Life is but an empty dream! For the soul is dead that slumbers, And things are not as they seem. … Lives of great men all remind us We can make out lives sublime, And departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time. Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labor and to wait. For time will teach thee soon the truth. There are no birds, in last year's nest. - Longfellow (as edited by Harwell)
  13. The Orioles DID offer him a major league contract and he turned it down convinced he would make the Twins opening day roster.
  14. I disagree on Diamond. I don't think the Twins care much about losing him at this point. Nor should they. They have Johnson, Gilmartin, and Ibarra for depth from the left side. I think it'll be Thielbar instead of Diamond.
  15. LEN3 said today "With Herrmann on the team, Gardenhire said he could use Josmil Pinto as a designated hitter at times. `Would you like to see Pinto hit more?' Gardenhire asked." Sooo… seems to be he's considering the proposal you're making here. I'd rather have Hermann on the team than Colabello if it means more at bats for Pinto. I like Colabello 'n all and his story but he's not really much of a major leaguer IMO. Especially if he's stuck on always going the other way, not what is needed from a right handed hitter in TF.
  16. What about Kyle Gibson? Wasn't he a top prospect on the cusp of the majors when he had Tommy John?
  17. Livan Hernandez was signed in 2008. Recall that he was signed to take Johan's spot in the rotation after he was traded.
  18. . Uh-oh. I advise you to watch your back around these parts my friend.
  19. Does anyone think Gardy will nickname him Suzy?
  20. To me Worley and his repetoire have bullpen written all over 'em.
