    i think that is within reach. The only two red flags i see are Houston a team which is absolutely loaded and the Yankees a foe that the Twins have absolutely struggled with most of the 2000's.

    love that curve ball

    I'm pretty siked about this starting rotation. For the first time in a LONG time the Twins are strong 1-4. And they've got reinforcements just itching to get to the show and several guys on the mend from TJ. If Romero is really kicking butt and continues to do so in AAA. I'd like to see him get a shot at that fifth spot if Hughes falters.

    My guess is signing Buxton to an extension.

    I don't blame him for doing this. Like any large employer you've got to speak up or get left behind. It's not personal it's business. The one thing you don't do is sit quietly in the corner with a red stapler on your desk unnoticed. That's how you end up in storage dealing with cockroaches.

    Hopefully not! I'd like to keep my paycheck
  7. laloesch
    They've lost some folks as well.

    This has always been the issue with Gibson, inconsistent and a notorious slow starter. He has done it year after year. If he does it again this year, i wouldn't keep him beyond this season.
  9. laloesch
    Sounds to me that he needs to back off the gas on his breaking pitches which should help them break more effectively. Similar analogy would be a bowler that throws too hard and the spin of the ball is not able to overcome the overall speed and therefore does not hook as much as it could.
  10. laloesch
    I wonder how this effects his career with the organization long term? I mean he's losing half a season basically. Does anyone know why vitamin B12 is illegal? Is that considered performance enhancing?
  11. laloesch
    Is JJ Hardy still a free agent?
  12. laloesch
    Not excited about that. Kohl is nothing more than a warm body that can throw at this point. BUST.
  13. laloesch
    Well he's off to a decent start in spring training. Could be a good sign. We shall see.
  14. laloesch
    Some of this is going to get traded at the deadline. I still see the Twins making a move to get someone like Archer especially if Hughes and or Gibson really stink it up. They have the AA and AAA prospects to get it done and not gut the farm. Give the Rays pitching.
  15. laloesch
    Let me get this straight your comparing Glen Perkins at 6'-0" and 205 lbs. to Sano whose 6'-4" and approximately 290 lbs.? ....yeah okay
  16. laloesch
    Yes but if that's all you can get then that's all you can get. We all knew the Darvish pursuit was a pie in the sky dream. Arrietta wanted crazy money and nothing to do with Minnesota and trading with Tampa for Archer would have GUTTED the farm. What does that leave you? Lynn, Odorizzi......I look at the signing of Pineda & Lynn along with the trade for Odorizzi (whose 2 years from free agency) as a stop gap measure. By seasons end the front office should have a much better clue as to whose major league ready from Littell, Romero, Gonsalves, Thorpe, etc.

    Correction. Alleged assault, not rape, not sexual assault...just alleged assault. No criminal or civil charges.....yet.
  18. laloesch
    YES!! 3+ War and an average of 8+ career K's per game. This is not a bad deal. I can see why the Twins wanted a two year deal but i'm still happy with this. Buys more time for the prospects in AA/AAA to advance.
  19. laloesch
    Like you and Mike said this acquisition along with Odorizzi should help this team avoid crushing strings of consecutive bad starts that kill momentum and knock them out of Division contention early on in the season. We should be able to hang with Cleveland for much of the season (knock on wood) if all goes well. It will also take the pressure off a very young Berrios and Santana who will be jumping into the pool in May. Gibson hopefully will benefit from the extra competition as he's now slid all the way down to #4 and eventually #5. I wonder if Molitor will still go with a 4 man rotation?
  20. laloesch
    Yes, i agree. I'm impressed with what they've done so far. It would have been nice to land Darvish but everything else has made up for that in a fairly well rounded team. The key this offseason was to address the pitching staff and they have certainly made significant strides in the right direction even if some of the deals are short (Pineda and Lynn). What i do like about it is there were no albatross multi year costly mistakes made such as the Hughes extension or Nolasco signing.
  21. laloesch
    LOL, why? The team still has a tremendous amount of money coming off the books the next two seasons. Mauer, Lynn, Dozier, Santana, Hughes, etc. Even with these signings they still will have tremendous flexibility in the years ahead and haven't given up any prized prospects in the process. I say high fives all around.
  22. laloesch
    The best part about all of this is that the Twins Front office added all this talent and gave up only one prospect in the process. Trade chips are still available if they really want to go for it. I see no harm in giving Romero time in AAA and Gonsalves more time in AAA. This is a win win win in my opinion.
  23. laloesch
    HAHA that would be crazy!
  24. laloesch
    Who do the Twins drop? Hughes or Sanchez?
  25. laloesch
    I'm happy with this. Good rotation especially once Santana returns. It's been a long time since the Twins had a solid 1-5 staff like this. Santana (when he returns), Berrios, Lynn, Odorizzi and Gibson. Major Kudos to the Twins front office for getting this done.
