    No problem for me. I'm told Butera will go back down in a day or two (hahahahahahaha), and with Burroughs off the roster, we should see a young guy that can actually contribute (in the future, if not this year) come up and get experience.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Why do we need butera insurance? Can they not call him up if someone cannot play?

    1. Losing Morneau is the biggest issue....just when I thought they could deal him for some minor league pitchers... 2. Mauer's knee is an issue, agreed - continues to raise the question of him as a catcher, btw.... 3. You DON"T NEED a backup catcher. If they are both in the lineup, and the catcher is hurt, the other moves over, and they have a 1 game problem. There are airplanes now, to get your 3rd catcher there if you need one. You only need one if you are paranoid, about having an issue for a few innings or a game. 4. NO OTHER AL TEAM is carrying a 3rd catcher....as for no other teams need to get their catcher in the game, Mauer is not one the best hitting catcher in the game right now. Plenty of other teams are relying on their catchers to be legit hitters now. This is not a real argument.

    Better than this, if you refuse to trade for or sign expensive players....who has come up in the last THREE years, the you feel is a legit MLB player? Three years....Valencia? Plouffe? Revere? Hendriks? Not one legit player, contributing to winning now, in three years. No new OF. 1 new IF. No starting pitchers (do we think Hendriks is ready?). That's not livable, not if you rely on your farm system pretty much exclusively.

    Awesome. Can't wait to read about him all year long again this year. Can't wait to watch him "hit" again this year. But, I do agree, a catcher makes the most sense, with Mauer at 1B. But that catcher should only be used 1 time a week, max, not all the time. But I have a bad feeling about this, and their obsession with catcher defense.

    Still a fan, but I find myself spending more time here and listening gleeman and the geek than listening to games right now. Taking them off "free" tv is a huge mistake for keeping fans like me watching. Also, I find it hard to believe I'd pay real money to see a game this year. No chance I pay full price this year. Too many other ways for me to spend time, than 3-4 hours dedicated to driving, sitting, and watching, and driving home.

    It is hard to believe they are this bad at pitcing, in a pitcher's ballpark, agreed.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Cool stuff. Mostly I'd like to hear about travel, and eating, and how hard/easy it is to really be a professonial athlete in terms of traning and preparation....Really, stories are good.
  9. Mike Sixel
    I'll bet money Pujols doesn't stay down there on the list....lots of money. I'd guess most of those don't.....
  10. Mike Sixel
    Latest ESPN insider states that Appel is moving back up the draft boards again....and is looking like he has a shot to be the first pick again. I bet Buxton drops, given the competition level, just my current guess, in April...
  11. Mike Sixel
    Great signing. Said it at the time, and still saying it. Great signing.
  12. Mike Sixel
    I'll just say that they need to use serious money on serious pitchers in teh next year, or there won't be many people in Target Field. Again, Philly has spent a ton of money, has no offense this year, and several minor leaguers with serious upside....
  13. Mike Sixel
    I'm just ready for any young guy to be up in the bullpen, but it doesn't matter all that much either way to me, frankly. The pen is not their issue right now....
  14. Mike Sixel
    Great to see people moving up already....Guerra should be in the majors in a month or so.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Atlanta and Arizona are loaded with minor league pitching.. (though AZ just lost one to injury). Philly has several power arms in their minors. There are targets out there, on teams that need OF help (depending on how you feel about AZ outfileders in the field.....). But you have to get a guy with #1/2 potential, even if you throw in one or more of the Twins' mediocre arms to get it.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Thank goodness Guerra was promoted. 1 more month, and he's in the majors.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Agreed with Boom Boom.
  18. Mike Sixel
    I don't want anyone over 30 added to this roster, unless he's a legit MLB starting pitcher. Time to go young. Young, and younger.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Worst pitching staff ever.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Inge is terrible. I don't get how this helps, this year, or the future. Gardy's quotes remind me of why I don't believe in him and the FO right now. I hope I'm wrong. I can't wait to read Seth or Bonnes' take on this....
  21. Mike Sixel
    I thought if you claimed a guy, you took his contract.....or did he pass through waivers? In which case, I could care less if it is him or Burrhoughs....If I'm all messed up on this, I apologize...
  22. Mike Sixel
    MILLIONS of dollars that could be spent on something else, or inge, who doesn't help them make the playoffs? I don't understand, can anyone explain this to me?
  23. Mike Sixel
    Great article, and I feel Span is one of the most under-apprecited MN sports figures ever. The guy is a legit top 10 CF, and I don't get the concept of trading him for relief pitching, or anything else than an elite starting prospect...I don't get it.
  24. Mike Sixel
    I like Smith. I think he helps the team, but I would have kept the 2nd rounder, and used their two 4ths to get back into round 2. But, the first day was good. The real key is getting 1-3 more legit NFL players the rest of the way, not guys that make the roster, but guys that contribute.
  25. Mike Sixel
    DUMBEST. IDEA. EVER. This team is not going to playoffs. You want to spend millions of dollars on a 34 year old? They should be shedding contracts, and saving that money to sign legit FAs next year. I can't believe anyone thinks this is a good idea. Unreal.
