  1. I'm just not convinced he's ever going to be good enough from the left side of the plate. We will all see soon enough.
  2. Seriously lay off Parm guys. The dude is from California and probably hasn't played much in 30 degree weather hence his terrible look at the plate for the first 3 games. Not saying that's for sure the issue but I've lived in Minnesota a long time and still cannot move regularly or in a loose fashion in the cold. Just saying some people really can't function at a high level if they're cold.
  3. How about a giant foam bat with a hole right though the sweet spot.
  4. Sure is nice to have teams best hitter in the 3 spot!
  5. Mauer should change his last name to power as in warning track power.
  6. For me it's about the starting pitching. If the Twins get some innings out of Harden and Gibson and they have the type of success that they're capable of then this team will be watchable. This current rotation is FAR from watchable. Deduno should be interesting as well.
  7. I really think this kid can be an elite player. I hope this gets figured out.
  8. If he's not going to try and buy championships then why did we buy the stupid stadium with no roof that is going to leave 30,000 stupid fans with frostbite in 2 days.
  9. To me you make your money off other business and spend spend spend to win win win or else sell sell sell to someone with new money who will will will. Mark Cuban comes to mind. If you're not in it to win it your damaging the integrity of the entire sport and all professional sports for that matter. IMO
  10. If Mauer were to be the full-time #2 hitter would you people still freakout every time he bunts? That's what I want to know.
  11. One big bonus to batting Mauer 2nd is that his detractors wouldn't rip him for his pathetic RBI total as much.
  12. Only because if Correia succeeds it sends the message that dumpster diving for pitchers is OK. Not to mention how rich Pohlad is! With that kind of money behind ownership the Twins should be the Yankees of the mid-west, but NO Hoplad runs his baseball team like an accounting firm.
  13. I've said it before and I'll say it again there isn't a pitching staff in the entire world that needs a power starting pitcher in the mold of Harden more than the Twins. Here's hoping.
  14. Well I didn't want him to make the team but I thought the potential was there for him to get better. I just have a feeling this might haunt the Twins.
  15. Robertson won't last and the Twins snag some piece of trash off the waiver wire, but other than that this bullpen looks strong to me.
  16. I think Mauer is the Twins best 1B and could win a gold glove at 1st if he played the position every day.Pretty sure he's in the bottom of most defensive category's as a catcher at this point. Furthermore, do the Twins want to risk another bi-lateral whatever fiasco? So I challenge the idea that he has his most value behind the plate. His value is in his health and his .400 OBP and his potential gold glove level defense at 1B. Him catching has become a liability. There is simply too much money involved and he's not so good defensively at the catcher position anymore. It happens. He was always big for a catcher so maybe it caught up to him a little sooner than some, but it's really about the money. Obviously, the Twins can't say this stuff publicly because of the Morneau Parmalee glut at 1st and the long list of Twins position players that would probably be better served as DH, but I expect in time Mauer will be the Twins starting 1B.
  17. Every single 1 of those guys will have more HR's and RBI than Mr. Mauer. I wasn't ripping anyone.
  18. The Twins should be trying to trade Mauer not Morneau.
  19. The problem with this off-season is that it started good and then reverted right back to the same old crap also known as the Twins way. The acquisitions of May and Meyer gave the fans hope that the twins had seen the light as far as getting SP with stuff and upside. Then Correia and Pelfrey happened. People are upset because they don't want to watch another season of last place baseball.
  20. Take the gloves off 1)Cabrera 2)Fielder 3)Butler 4)Willingham 5)Martinez 6)Dunn 7)Gordon 8)Morneau 9)Swisher 10)Jackson
  21. What the heck? Why not pretend these guys are better while we still can?
  22. How I feel about Worley being the opening day starter is how I feel about 90% of Gardy's managerial moves. It's wrong. So who would I go with? I have no idea. I wouldn't take Gardy's job even with the obscene salary. Not even paying me millions of dollars would make me willing to deal with this rotation, do you think I'm gonna go spend money to watch them? LOL...People may think I'm just talking trash but I'm dead serious and that's funny to me. LOL
