    When Meyer makes his first home start I might just have to go to my first game in two years.
  2. Marta Shearing
    The entire thing should have been gutted after 2011. When Smith was fired they should have gone outside the organization for his replacement. The 2010 playoff embarrassment followed by 99 losses should have resulted in the firing of Gardy and the entire coaching staff. How does a manager with a 6-21 playoff record (3-19 in his last six playoff series) keep his job? Yet here we are all these years later and everything is still virtually intact. The root of all these problems is incompetent ownership. It's a shame.

    The collapse of the Twins began August 10, 1994 when Hrbek retired and MacPhail left. The collapse was complete on September 28, 1995 when Dennis Martinez plunked Kirby in the face. Its been all duckies and bunnies ever since.

    If you rested/ DL'd every player playing at 80% you wouldn't be able to field a lineup. Its part of the game. You get banged up. Nobody's saying players should play injured, but you have to be able to play through pain and soreness.
  5. Marta Shearing
    IMO, Gardy has created a culture of softness, yet he's still catching flak by some people for not being soft enough.

    2016: CF Buxton 2B Dozier 3B Sano RF Arcia 1B Morales DH Vargas C Pinto LF Rosario SS Polanco or Santana Meyer May Berrios Gibson Hughes or Nolasco

    I'd be happy trading any player who's not part of the future. As much as I like Suzuki, Pinto is the future. His defense will be fine. He just needed to catch more than once or twice a week. Suzuki could really fetch some talent in a trade. They'd be crazy not to atleast explore this option. I think Morales is great. In my perfect world they trade Mauer and re-sign Morales to play 1st base, and Vargas can take over at DH. Not that I don't like Mauer, he's just not giving them anywhere near $23 million of production.
  8. Marta Shearing
    Looking like the Twins lucked out when nobody claimed him.
  9. Marta Shearing
    The more Santana plays in CF the better he'll get. Santana has ignited this lineup. Why oh why oh why would you put him on the bench? He has to play either SS or CF. I'm all for signing a stopgap CF next year and moving Santana back to SS. Escobar has to be a utility player.
  10. Marta Shearing
    Simple answer. Santana is CF stopgap until Buxton is ready. Nunez is SS stopgap until Santana or Polanco takes over. Escobar utility.
  11. Marta Shearing
    So he's back to switch hitting. Im pretty much done with his act. Rosario/Buxton/Arcia Lets roll.
  12. Marta Shearing
    I shouldn't say he's never had a passion for the game, but I think over time he's gradually losing it. It has nothing to do with him not being a rah rah guy. And I agree with the other poster. Some of it stems from getting paid. It's human nature. I just didn't think he'd succumb to it.
  13. Marta Shearing
    I feel the same way. I will come out and say I don't believe he had, or ever had, a passion/love for the game. All these years he's taken off day games after a night game when at the least he could have played DH. The topper for me was a few years ago when he didn't play the Sunday before the all-star game, presumably to rest him up for the grueling all-star week. I believe the Twins lost to Detroit that sunday 3-2. Regardless of what Gardy or Mauer have told us, playing DH is pretty much the same as a day off. And over the years every game he wasn't catching, we had to have our best hitter in the lineup at DH.
  14. Marta Shearing
    They missed a chance to trade Dozier at peak value. I like his defense and power numbers, but too many 0-4's. Too many strikeouts with RISP. In hindsight, I'd have traded him when he was going good.
  15. Marta Shearing
    I don't think he blew out both knees.
  16. Marta Shearing
    Carneal and Gordon were the best ever. As far as the three mentioned, Morris easily. If he's full of himself, he has a right to be.
  17. Marta Shearing
    Very few are calling it a personality issue. Most are calling it an effort issue based on his actions.
  18. Marta Shearing
    What about Pat "pass ball" Borders? He'd come cheap.
  19. Marta Shearing
    I love Reusse but he's wrong. Nobody's complaining about this signing. You'd have to be a complete idiot to find fault with this signing. Reusse must have run out of material.
  20. Marta Shearing
    1. Send Hicks down when Fuld returns. Now Hicks is even missing games with aches and pains. He just doesn't get it yet. Probably never will. I'm happy to make Santana the permanent CF until Buxton gets here. 2. Parmelee deserves to be sent down, but I don't know who will take his place. Might as well keep him around...for now. 3. Correia will never fetch anything in a trade. Release him now. Call up May. 4. Deduno-when Meyer is safely past the super 2 call him up and send Deduno to the bullpen and release Burton. 5. Suzuki and Pinto can catch 60/40. Makes no sense to send Pinto down. 6. Guerrier can hang around until Tonkin figures it out.
  21. Marta Shearing
    Clearly accidental but nice to see our guy plunk someone once in a while considering how much we're getting plunked lately.
  22. Marta Shearing
    Unfortunately he'll likely be remembered most for his playoffs performance in 2009 and 2010. Very sad to think what might have been if not for that freakish knee injury.
  23. Marta Shearing
    Public sentiment has turned against them. Attendance is dwindling. They had to do something.
  24. Marta Shearing
    Hello Morales, May, Fuld. Goodbye Kubel, Correia, Hicks. Hello Wildcard Now if they can find a reliever to replace Burton.
  25. Marta Shearing
    Whenever they draft a pitcher, my first thought is "see you in 6-7 years after you struggle for a few years in Low A ball then have TJ surgery". We've kind of been conditioned to feel this way. Every day I pick up the paper I'm expecting to read Kohl Stewart is having elbow soreness.
