  1. Until the fabled "pitching pipeline" looks like something other than a sewer pipe, you don't trade decent starting pitching at all. And you sure AF don't trade good starting pitching! Discussion over.
  2. I'd like to ask Mr. Genius Manfred which idea is the failure. This year's balanced schedule which was posited as the only way to make the schedule "fair", or the future plan to realign the divisions to cut down on travel? One or the other... can't have both! Give Manfred a Mussolini send-off before he irretrievably ruins this great game!!!!
  3. Not mentioned here, and a couple of years since he donned the Twins jersey, but... Kenta Maeda has announced his intention to end his career in the Nipon(ese) Baseball League, and 2025 will be his last in America. Just going to take a second here and give him a big "Thanks for the memories" from at least on Minny fan. High quality starting pitching is rare and the Twins acquiring it in its prime is almost unheard of. I for one enjoyed the living hel.... I became a big fan. Best of luck with your homecoming!!!
  4. Fire Rocco from a cannon. Mended that fence for ya'.
  5. Heck, back to back exciting games. Even if they first didn't go as hoped. Might just have to change my "Julien in the lineup means no game today" rule!
  6. 47 RBIs (170 ABs) versus 35 RBIs (279 ABs) says he's 33% more productive in 60% of his at bats. Not similar. Not even in the same ballpark.
  7. Give every GM a choice- Wallner or Stanton. I'll even give you that they must be paid as per their current contract. One man may choose Wallner. Maybe. Even with the disparity in pay. Even with Stanton being a broken down shell of his former self. Unfortunately that man is named Derrick Falvey.
  8. "A good player"... Bad at every facet (hitting for contact -awful, glove - far below average, arm so slow that it grades out below everyone, slow and bad base runner) but has 18 HR to go with his amazing 35 RBIs. Sounds "good" to me!!!
  9. Can't run. Bad instincts. Bad arm - strong, but incredibly slow to get going. And to top it off a K-prone, one-dimenional unproductive hitter. Gallo- like for a multitude of reasons...
  10. 0% chance of succeeding. Somebody (quite a few somebodys!) will offer actual parts for a contender. A failed (at least so far) starter and a prospect might be enough with Lopez or Ryan. Ain't nobody giving a all-star caliber catcher for peanuts - short or long-term.
  11. God, bullpens are fun! Kill all relief pitchers: it is good for your long-term mental health...
  12. You don't take fillet mingon and turn it into hamburger. And then use said hamburger in hamburger helper!
  13. So we are supposed to be looking forward to our undisputed number one prospect, a center fielder, making it in LF???? Those sorts of hopes and dreams have the unmistakable stink of Falvey, with an added dash of Rocco tactical idiocy!
  14. Not sure how you get worse than the worst 2B since Steve Sax had a public nervous breakdown in the Bronx, but it might be the one thing I'd have confidence in Julien doing...
  15. And only an abject, legally certified moron, would compare a baseball player to... well, Eddie Julien.
  16. Well at least there is one truly modern Twins prospect in Smith... "Bottom of the spectrum" defense and 'potential power'! Sounds worse than any scouting report on this site for certain season opening 2B... Yikes!
  17. He joined that club no one wants to be in: Million dollar arm and ten cent head. Ryan Leaf has someone to mentor!
  18. Well, there must be a reason exit velocity is part of the tripple crown... What?
  19. Player of the Week in the AL? We knew who it really earned it, and now it is official. Congratulations Luke Keaschall!!!
  20. Word is that Torii Hunter has figured out how to lay off the (very) low slider... Some things change. Some things need to change. Sometimes they just don't!
  21. And all it took for the worst 2B to be on a roster was trading half the roster...
  22. If your basic (and honest effort is pretty basic) needs are met, you and I will likely get a surprising number of wins as a "bonus"! With or without those bonus wins, it is already easier to truly root for "the kids" than it was...
  23. "Cannon" is a perfect descriptor for Wallner's arm. Incredible power in it, but takes forever to reload. Elite arms are Howitzers. Much faster load time making it an asset in action.
