    Very helpful!

    Just rephrase the question: "Who least lost?" or "Who lost less?"

    Hell, I'm 86 and, and, and, what's the topic again?

    I know I shouldn't be doing this, looking back, but Arraez went 4 for 5 today at the top of the Marlin's order. His new team lost; his old team won. And Lopez looked great on opening day. But with Kepler batting first, and Gallo batting wherever, losing Arraez does leave a bitter taste.

    The last piece falls into place. Let's go! Go Twins!!!

    Good article. Yeah, the Twins seem to have many utility type players,: Farmer, Gordon, Solano,, Castro, and even Gallo. It seems like overkill, but with all these interchangeable parts, maybe it's a good thing. But it can be confusing, and not just for the fans. The players themselves don't even know who's on first on any given day. It reminds me of a modern office where everybody shares and you don't have your own desk. I guess it has its benefits. But it also has its drawbacks. We'll see how things shake out.

    It doesn't make sense losing Coloumbe to keep Sands.
  8. Fat Calvin
    Me too!!

    I hope it's Coulombe.

    Good for the Mets in signing Bundy. Of course, Bundy wasn't great. But I thought he was a decent 5th pitcher. I wish him well with the Mets.

    I think both Falvey and Rocco are in over their heads--especially Rocco. IMHO, he's not a leader. There's no inspiration, no grit, I'd love to see an old school guy like Francona at the helm.

    I wonder what the Dodgers would give up for Correa?

    It's the second game of spring training. The guys got in their swings, the pitchers, their pitches, and nobody got hurt.

    Well, we got the #5 pick in July. And we did get a few prospects from Miami. I'm still a bit worried about our catching backup. We've got two catchers. If one goes down, we're in trouble.

    Hope springs eternal--'tis the season!

    I'll always remember the look on Bauer's face when Max hit his third dinger of the day off of him. For that, Kep will always have a warm place in my heart. I hope we keep him this year.
  17. Fat Calvin
    What about Babe Ruth?
  18. Fat Calvin
    A lot of food for thought here. I can't really argue against your main point. Baseball has changed for the worst--imho, and Rocco's the perfect foil for the diamond quants who are running this team. But human nature doesn't change, and I think young men still need a strong leader to lead them to victory. Rocco's the weakest manager I've ever seen in my 57 years as a baseball fan.

    If anyone should have a chip, it's the Twins, the fans. He dumped us twice for coastal elites. We're not even the maid of honor; we're the second bridesmaid! But I hope nobody has a chip. I hope we follow the words of the Bard: All's well that ends well.

    Ah, why not? A one year deal? It would shake things up, And I think we need a good shaking. "Minnesota Nice" hasn't gotten us very far. So let's try "Minnesota In Your Face!" It's worth a shot. (I also thing "club chemistry" and being a nice team mate is overrated. Do you think Ty Cobb brought warm fuzzies to the club house? No, the son of a bitch just brought in three American League pennants to Tiger Town. Granted, he never won a world series; but three pennants--especially from where we sit--ain't too shabby.

    "Blame?" I'd rewrite the header: "Who's to praise for smart financial restraint."
  22. Fat Calvin
    Good for the Twins. We're no second fiddle. Let's take a deep breath, and calmly plan the next move.
  23. Fat Calvin
    Nah, focus on pitching and a right handed power hitting outfielder.
  24. Fat Calvin
    Woulda, coulda, shoulda. From coast to coast, Good riddance to him; I'm glad he skipped town. There are better ways to spend 315 million bucks.

    Instead of "entering the fray," we should be counting our lucky stars.
