    I admit to swallowing hook, line, sinker. I read the title, saw Torii's pic, and blasted through the link ready to shout out how we offered him 75 mil. Well done, and funny article.

    My 23 month old daughter is learning to throw, and she's a lefty...
  3. Joe A. Preusser
    Well, this inning has been a slap in the face with a wet noodle.
  4. Joe A. Preusser
    Hmm. Aquaba, Jordan. Who had that in the pool?
  5. Joe A. Preusser
    This team has shiwn a great approach at the plate thus far. They aren't just getting lucky out there. By my eye test, the luck has been even for the Twins and their opponents.

    My whole point was that of timeline. Some players are not given enough consistent ABs at the MLB level to mature into a solid MLB player. But I believe that those who crush it at AAA can eventually do just that. For some, though, the timeline just doesn't work. Say, for example, Plouffe has actually figured it out and will continue to be a good/great MLB player for years to come. He just doesn't get several years to work out the kinks on many other MLB teams. My whole theory is that everyone who crushes at AAA can eventually be good/great at MLB, but only a smaller percentage actually gets the time they need to do so. Or, put more succinctly, the notion of a AAAA player is bunk. Given a long enough timeline, all "AAAA" players will eventually bear fruit at the MLB level.

    Really great to see some people actually excited. As of now the Twins are in the post-season.
  8. Joe A. Preusser
    He also threw too many pitches.
  9. Joe A. Preusser
    All the urging I need.
  10. Joe A. Preusser
    Methinks Pelf might look better in a Red Wing uni.
  11. Joe A. Preusser
    Productive AB's from the 8 and 9 hole. I don't know this team any more.
  12. Joe A. Preusser
    No Hicks or Floriman. Why does it feel like we were just spotted 6-8 ABs?
  13. Joe A. Preusser
    The Price is wrong, Bltch.
  14. Joe A. Preusser
    Mauer should have just walked there.
  15. Joe A. Preusser
    The Twins should adopt some 12 year old orphan and get him that surgery. By the time he was 18 they could have him touching 110 on the radar gun.
  16. Joe A. Preusser
    I'd rather face Mastro's 0-4.
  17. Joe A. Preusser
    I have a theory that if you can rake at AAA, you have the potential to be a good hitter in MLB. There just isn't a large enough gap in talent between the leagues to allow someone to dominate AAA but not be pretty good in MLB. Given enough time everyone can figure it out, it's just that not everyone is allowed that time.
  18. Joe A. Preusser
    How are you defining future? Nolasco is signed for four years, Hughes for three.
  19. Joe A. Preusser
    Mauer is as close a player to Meink as I am.
  20. Joe A. Preusser
    I can agree with all of that.
  21. Joe A. Preusser
    Any preachy talk about unwritten rules being broken get me seething. If I played in the majors I would bunt for a hit up by 25 runs just to pizz on the "unwritten rulebook." Throw the whole thing out and play to win every minute of the game. Or go home and don't play at all.
  22. Joe A. Preusser
    I am truly honored to be uncluded in your thoughts. Even with the comparison to an ape. The .500 roller coaster you described sounds exactly what we went through with the Wolves. And yes, it was kind of sick. Go Twins. Edit: BTW, you put me off sandwiches for a while.
  23. Joe A. Preusser
    Twins win this series.
  24. Joe A. Preusser
    That may be the finest music video I've ever seen.
  25. Joe A. Preusser
    I only do series. Predicting single games is madness I say, madness.
