    I applaud them for finally spending money that in years past has gone in their pockets. The only pitcher better than hughes or nolasco is garza. They're not dumpster diving.
  2. Marta Shearing
    I'm going with 85 and I'm not embarrassed to say it. A rotation including Meyer, Hughes, Nolasco, Correia, and hopefully improved Gibson. An all-star closer. I think Sano's gonna produce. The lightbulb will come on for Hicks. Arcia will improve. Willingham's playing for his next contract. Mauer's gonna play 155 games. Pierzynski will produce and provide leadership. Dozier will continue to improve. Heck, Plouffe might even decide to get serious about his career, be a more consistent hitter, and play a serviceable RF. And then there's the other blast from the past Bartlett. Can the 2008 Bartlett re-emerge? Should be interesting!
  3. Marta Shearing
    Wouldn't be a bit surprised to see a platoon in RF. Plouffe and Presley?
  4. Marta Shearing
    Now sign AJ!
  5. Marta Shearing
    Pelfrey's gonna regret not taking that deal. Its probably off the table now.

    WAR is about the most ridiculous stat ever invented. People who reference it are embarrassing themselves. Deduno is a legitimate back of the rotation starter. I dont need some ridiculous stat telling me he's not.
  7. Marta Shearing
    Most people don't consider WAR a legitimate statistic.
  8. Marta Shearing
    Signing hughes doesn't require surrendering a pick, does it?
  9. Marta Shearing
    Well we'll see which one pitches better in 2014.
  10. Marta Shearing
    I'll admit in 2011 it looked like he had finally completely figured things out, pitching the best baseball of his career, then he tore up his elbow, which inexplicably didnt show up on the mri. If i remember right they didnt find the tear until they cut him open.
  11. Marta Shearing
    Baker cried wolf a few too many times.
  12. Marta Shearing
    I was a die-hard fan until they got swept out of the playoffs again in 2010. I probably missed a handful of Baker's starts his entire Twins career. I'm qualified to make an informed opinion on him. I saw a pitcher who benefited from playing in the weak Central with the unbalanced schedule. I saw a pitcher who cracked any time there was pressure involved. Even 163 against Detroit he pitched well when they were behind until the Twins scored a couple runs. Then Scotty went out for the top of the inning and gave it right back. Baker and pressure were never a good mix.
  13. Marta Shearing
    If they could trade mauer i'd sign cano for $25m/yr. Cant have them both but def prefer cano.
  14. Marta Shearing
    I'm not a Baker fan. One of the most mentally weak players I've ever seen. I'll take pelfrey over him every time. Unfortunately there's no stat that measures mental toughness. Gotta use the eye test for that one.
  15. Marta Shearing
    The thing I like about the Nolasco signing is not surrendering that draft pick. Ryan hasnt fully redeemed himself yet, but this is a nice start. Now sign AJ. Giving Salty 3 years would be a waste. Im on the Pinto bandwagon.
  16. Marta Shearing
    There's something about pelfrey that I like. Maybe its because he's somewhat of an intimidating presence on the mound. He's not afraid to bust players inside. We were force fed garbage like baker/blackburn/slowey for so long, this dude just seems like an upgrade for the 3-4 spot in the rotation.
  17. Marta Shearing
    Its hard to imagine anyone keeping him on their ML roster for a year, but stranger things have happened.
  18. Marta Shearing
    Thank god
  19. Marta Shearing
    Twins fans have every right to be skeptical. To be paranoid. To fear the worst. Ryan has never done a thing to make us feel otherwise.
  20. Marta Shearing
    Signing Garza and Pelfrey would exceed my expectations. Whats wrong with Garza, Gibson, Deduno, Correia, Pelfrey? With Meyer up by June and May not far behind. From Pelfrey I think they'll get 200 innings and a sub 4 era.
  21. Marta Shearing
    Good grief. I put the two free agent signings at the top. And lets be real, do you honestly have hope Ryan will do better than Garza and Pelfrey? My expectations of ryan are so low I'd be stunned if he even accomplished that.
  22. Marta Shearing
    I really wasnt putting them in any particular order. With Ryan in charge, I think Garza and Pelfrey is the best we can hope for, and I dont think he'll do that much.
  23. Marta Shearing
    I would be tickled pink if our rotation went: Garza Pelfrey Correia Deduno Gibson With meyer and may ready by midseason.
  24. Marta Shearing
    Pinto should make the team and catch 75% of the games. That wouldnt be stunting his growth. There's nothing more for him to prove in the minors.
  25. Marta Shearing
    I just gotta roll my eyes at all the "catching experts" who think Pinto needs to start the year in AAA to work on his defense. For goodness sakes, he can flat out rake. His defensive deficiencies are so overblown. Let him work them out ON THE JOB under Steinbach's guidance.
