  1. I'd like to see him catch up in MN, and really be given a chance.......
  2. Basic message imo: prospects aren't MLB players, and are over valued by teams relative to actual, proven, MLB players........not everyone will agree with that.
  3. But Brock, the batter needs to step out and check the signs from the 3B coach on a 1-1 count with no one on base........
  4. Ryan said they still view Santana as a SS (yesterday on 1500am). They have Escobar. Either get a great SS, or spend your resources elsewhere.
  5. Yesterday on 1500 Ryan said they still view him as a SS. Therefore, imo, their handling of him is all wrong. Can anyone explain it?
  6. Totally disagree on interleague play, I don't get why people don't want a chance to see all the best players live.
  7. Actually, the internal guy is rumored to want that....... I'd like the most likely to change to be around speeding up the game for real, and getting rid of the stupid black out rules......that would be a nice start.
  8. Ya, that's why I put that last sentence in my "rebuttal".......
  9. Insiders who don't like change! Yay!
  10. Always been a fan. Glad things are going well for him.
  11. Melky, Melky, Melky (assuming Buxton is not up next year and Santana is not in LF).
  12. Um, that is consistent with the strategy. Get elite hitting, then take flyers on pitchers. They are doing it in the draft also, but concentrating first picks on hitters. Or, maybe, they just felt those hitters were better prospects.
  13. Perception? Reality.
  14. Cuddeyer? Mr can't stay healthy? Please, no, just no.
  15. I see no shot at Rosario returning to 2B, unless they plan to trade him.
  16. Burdi clearly has dominant stuff. I expect him in AA early next year, and in MN late next year.
  17. Tomas.....not as good a prospect as the guys last year (and the year before, and the year before), that they passed on, because, well, there was no good reason to pass on them. I can't see how anyone thinks they would sign a Cuban. Those guys have been sitting there for a few years now, and they have passed on them over and over, even though they are younger, by far, than MLB free agents.
  18. Super sad, really. Super, super sad.
  19. I did say "legit MLB LFer", right? I did put that part in there, right? There always seems to be a reason for this team NOT to try to get better, according to some posters. I'd prefer they try to get better. YMMV, you may want to wait 3 more years. Some fans don't.
  20. The argument seems to be that he is on a pitch limit, so that would tax the bullpen. Except, Twins starters (the bad ones) aren't making it to the 6th anyway, so the bullpen would be no more taxed with Meyer than it is with Pino, Johnson, et. al.
  21. I don't know......if you could sign a legit MLB LFer, why not? Heck, if they could get a real LF and RF, why not? If they are real players, not old and declining, I don't see the harm in signing them. Having too many players is better than having no players and some prospects that might work out, imo.
  22. Ah, that makes sense. I hope the young man recovers, for his sake, not ours.
