    Given LaVelle's comments and analysis on KFAN and the STrib, I think they'll bring him back for his option price. I would. What else is this team going to spend that money on? It's not like they'll go out and sign a big time, expensive, FA. I heard someplace this weekend that Willingham is their largest FA contract ever.....So, you may as well keep Baker at that price, otherwise that money is just going back in the bank.

    Um, Terry Ryan was the GM 4+ years ago....so, the lack of young players in the majors and ready players in AAA is from the time that Ryan was the GM. I'm not saying he can't be successful, but it's clear they drafted and developed insufficiently the last few years he was GM.

    Today we see the opposite side of the silliness of pitcher wins as a stat. Earlier, Gray showed getting a win is silly. Today, we saw that not getting a win is silly. Hendriks did his job so well that if you got that kind of pitching every game you'd easily win 100 games a year, yet he doesn't get a win. Silly stat. As for the Twins, 70-75 games....that's it. And I fully expect Span to be traded at some point this year, in a huge blunder.

    What was your favorite Ben Revere moment? This lasts until TR trades Span for someone that is 2+years away from contributing to the team, and then Benson is up. This FO knows it doesn't have great pitching, and needs offense to win, and Revere does not supply that.

    I can't believe Butera is playing the OF. Mind boggling. Is Sano being pitched around, or is he learning patience?

    I worry about dealing Span, the guy is a very good player when healthy. I have no interest in trading every day players for reliever (thank goodness they didn't get Storen for him.....). The only way to deal Span is to get a good ML starting pitcher, or great pitching prospect, or young position player for the INF that you know is going to be league average or better. Otherwise, Span is worth more to the Twins than to another team....

    I long for a site where we can talk about topics, and not about other posters....long for one.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Yes, all of us post here because we hate the twins. God I hate that word.

    Batted balls end up being hits more than strikeouts. But, they did win.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Doesn't matter if the pitchers pitch well or not if your offense is this bad.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Mauer.........................so sad.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Best pitcher should be the choice. They have never in their history traded great prospects for expensive players, and does anyone think they would?
  13. Mike Sixel
    Um, isn't it Hendriks? Why keep saving these young guys?
  14. Mike Sixel
    Bummer, I've always been a Baker fan. Not a fan of the Twins' medical staff, however. Nor am I a fan of how this team handles guys with injuries. They poopoohed this just like they have other guys that are actually hurt.
  15. Mike Sixel
    the fans should start leaving.....at least the casual ones who aren't baseball obsessed. You don't keep paying for products that aren't good, sports should be no different. This team is going to win 70 some games this year, closer to 70 than 80. There just weren't enough hits on the draft picks 5-10 years ago.

    Thanks Seth
  17. Mike Sixel
    Carroll has been on base two times....I would be thrilled with that.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Except their best pitchers are/were strikeout pitchers, Santana, Garza, Viola, Liriano when he could. Now they have none, so let's see how well it plays out, and hope it is not like last year.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Missed opportunity for what? 77 wins instead of 75?
  20. Mike Sixel
    nice language....you could make that point w/o that language. I have no issues with AJ, how can anyone not like Torii?
  21. Mike Sixel
    Congratulations. Glad it isn't stuck on the morning show.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Can't miss bats, can't win games as a pitcher.....
  23. Mike Sixel
    Love the updates.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Yummy. There are some great beers being brewed in MN. Love both those breweries.
  25. Mike Sixel
