    I live right above Union Depot station, gotta work that night so can't join you guys, but if you hear someone yell "Gleeman!!" or even "Geek!!" it's probably me ;-)
  2. orangevening
    Buxton, Sano, Meyer, Berrios?, Rosario or Steward - top 5 (6)
  3. orangevening
    Do I have to mention Carlos Gomez? Although I'm sure Gomez wouldn't have what he is doing if he stayed with the Twins. I hope they stay patient with him until Buxton or Rosario are ready
  4. orangevening
    Patience. First run for Vargas through AA. See how he adjusts when pitchers adjust to him. Sano,Rosario andBuxton wern't promonted until post- all star game last year

    Seriously, it was about Apple deleting podcasts from thier istore. Something about MLB too. Olbermann thought it was funny that someone wanted to podcast about the Twins and even funnier that someone wanted to litsen to a podcast about the Twins (oooch - alittle)
  6. orangevening
    Keith Olbermann mentioned Gleeman and the Geek tonight

    I thought Seth was the corny one - "Do I make you"?!? "Life is hard"!?! Wow...

    The bigger question maybe does Hicks starts with Twins or in AAA? They probably want him starting in AAA rather than backing up in majors.
  9. orangevening
    Not (hopefully) a important position battle, but who is backing Mauer at 1st? Parmalee, Calobello? or babe Plouffe?

    I really like how coachable, humble and the drive he has. Unlike a few other prospects we have....
  11. orangevening
    I don't like the reports of his diva-like attitude. Maybe it makes me *too* Minnesotain, but arrogance isn't a trait I hold high
  12. orangevening
    Hopefully Perkins can teach him a few things about the mental side. The article about Perkins and Greg Maddox last year was fascinating. Also as a big fan of yoga (5x a week myself too) hopefully some of the mental aspects of that (focus, being present, etc.) will help Mays too.

    Viola is now AAA pitching coach for the Mets correct?
  14. orangevening
    Total arm replacement could be named "Miguel Sano surgery"
  15. orangevening
    I'm not sure. Hicks did throw in the 90's in high school. So did Buxton for that matter...
  16. orangevening
    No way does Philly do this deal. Yes it saves $, but it looks horrible from a production standpoint.
  17. orangevening
    The reports of his diva attitude worry me. Sounds like the anti-Buxton.
  18. orangevening
    Top 10 is cut off.
  19. orangevening
    Or Bah Hum Bug from others' perspective of this story
  20. orangevening
    Better fit than Buck
  21. orangevening
    How about Matty G.? It's still on the reunion theme
  22. orangevening
    No way Milwaukee does that......

    Being annoyed is a feeling and like any feeling it is subjective- it is fact invalidating to tell someone to not feel they way they do. I could go into counter points on why Mauer-to-3rd is a bad idea or it won't work or he's-a-good-athlete-so-he-can-play-anywhere argument doesn't hold water, but that is a never ending argument. My point is that I will continue to be annoyed (and you can't stop me- ha!) to the Mauer-to-3rd argument because it will not happen- at least in the immediate future. You are free to be not annoyed all you want, I promise I won't stop you.

    It matter because the catching situation is in flux. Pinto and Hermman are unproven and Doumit was atleast a veteran back-up plan catching 50 games or so. It matters too because it expalins the why the Twins have interest in veteran catchers (Buck is the current one) and have Fryer on the 40-man. Doumit has a 3rd basemen's "look", but I agree, I don't understand on a serious baseball discussion why people think this is a realistic option. It was annoying to read the Mauer-to-3rd proposals too. Although he is part of the DH/OF logjam we currently have, he is a Grady favorite (I can feel the shivers from everyone though the computer) and is a decent bat at least off the bench so I won't be surprised if he stays even if they pick up a veteran catcher

    Sinker isn't one to be spreading false rumors, although he is more of the folky, average-fan commentary type. Still wierd that he would say that (on MPR too) that's why I thought it was news worthy
