The key for the Twins, though, is how good is the class for guys that want no more than 4 years, and less than $60MM......having elite SP available doesn't really help them.
-
They clearly know things we don't. Doesn't mean they are good or bad at their job. Doesn't mean every decision they make is good or bad. People get replaced all the time, because not everyone is good at their job.
-
Of course you can. Explain why this is a good idea, and if I agree with your rationale, I will change my mind. Why is it a good idea to have 8 RP, call up a 35 year old that wasn't good last year, during a rebuild, when you have people in the minors that could do his job? when the team has 2 OF, 3 C and 3 SS on the roster? If you can explain why this is roster is well run right now, I am willing to admit I was wrong.

From Hardballtalk.com today: The Twins carry a eight-man bullpen and Joe Mauer is hurt, but not on the DL. That means they have 11 position players available, which means that shortstop Eduardo Escobar played left field. The Indians’ ninth inning rally kicked off when Escobar got turned around on a fly ball and it ended up landing on the track for a double. Maybe — and this is just a suggestion — teams don’t need eight-man bullpens.

I'm not sure having 2 OF on your roster is "trivial". I would never have hired Antony in the first place to be GM, given what I know from the outside. But I wasn't talking about guys like cmat or me when I said "some people" would give them a pass forever.....
-
From the press and some people? Forever is my guess. Luckily for the Twins, tonight is the NFL draft, so almost no one is paying attn to this.
-
Nothing. He's better than any SP they have. But, they have zero OF, no SS, no C (apparetnly they don't think Pinto can catch), no DH.....they have two guys in AAA and one in low A that should be legit MLB SP. Normally, I'd be all over this. But not with the state of the 40 man.
-
People actually typed that bringing up a 35 year old RP, when the team already has too many RP and not enough OF, is a good idea. On a team that is rebuilding. On a team that claims it wants to promote and reward minor leaguers. Wow.
-
And yet, somehow I am to trust this front office to rebuild this team. I will never feel bad about ripping Gardy and this front office again.
-
Maybe they are trying to be the oldest rebuilding club ever.
-
Embarrassing. And yet, we keep buying tickets, why not do this?
-
Yup, but this is the deadline, and they can't risk losing him, so someone will be culled from the 40 man (probably an OF, /snark), and he'll be up.
-
Gruyere comes up, because a rebuilding team whose philosophy it is to promote young guys from the minors can never have too many 35 year old RP. Nunez comes up, Santana down. Mauer to the DL (shockingly fast for this club), Parms up.

Game Thread: Twins @ Indians, 5/7 @ 6:05 pm CT
Mike Sixel replied to Squirrel's topic in Archived Game Threads
Having a possible PH/PR is waaaaaaaaaaay more valuable than having a better* player hit 4 times for Floriman * we don't know if Santana is better, but given the HISTORICALLY bad numbers Pedro is putting up, it is certainly possible..... -

Sigh......I'll be at my oldest son's last HS Jazz concert tonight, I won't get to listen to Floriman "bat"......at least not the first three times. -
i'll check when I get home....
-
Good to know....now I have to figure out if I'm giving them my money or not.....
-
I clicked on that, and it has the Cubs taking Gordon, and Twins taking Jackson?
-
If I subscribe to gameday audio, can I listen to Twins games? If not, then it doesn't work. If I can't get reception on free radio, and I can't listen on line, something is wrong. But, then, I've never checked because someone told me the Twins would be blacked out for me.

Article: What To Do With Chris Parmelee?
Mike Sixel replied to Nick Nelson's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
If only they had been bad last year, and had openings in the OF/DH spots so they could have seen more of him...... -
List the hitters in AA or AAA you expect up this year.....to start more than 10 games. I'd call that bottom heavy. Sure, injury played a role, but it is the deal. Like I said, great system, but it isn't helping the team much this year.
-
Again, what possible terms of use is a podcast violating that iTunes could justify pulling the podcasts? And, it is astounding MLB doesn't want people talking about their product.

My neighbor is redoing his basement.....they were cleaning it out and found the following that he mentioned so far: can of peaches from the 1940s in the root cellar sony walkman cassette player boom box used to record his band's first song in the '90s....* *it might have been early 2000s
-
Jackson or Gordon it is.....
-
Right, I was not reading your comment correctly. I have no issue with this....though it seems that if they can block me from seeing the game on tv by locating my IP, I should be able to hear free broadcasts for free on the Internet if I am in the home market.... Again, none of this changes until you start w/holding your money.....
