  1. John, It is great listening to your summary. I look forward to tomorrow's broadcast. Especially since I won't be traveling to Ft. Myers this spring, as I had done the 2 prior springs. I'm sure I can speak for TD members and Twins fans when I say we appreciate your excellent reports...written and recorded.
  2. When you look at it this way, it really was a smart signing. Yes, the Twins got better today.
  3. First in war, first in peace, and last in the American League! RIP Washington Senators, the team of my boyhood.
  4. What if the young stud minor league starters began their major league careers as low leverage relievers? What difference do you think that additional variable might make, if any?
  5. The Dodgers got Shaggy? I really don't understand the logic of waiving him.
  6. Not me. He'll make a million bucks annually and get to do what most of us at TD would love to do...manage a major league baseball team.
  7. It is nice to not have the June draft be the highlight of the season for a change.
  8. I just read all these posts and now I have a headache.
  9. I agree 100%. I just wish the FO would read this and take this important, thoughtful message to heart.
  10. Chris Giminez (who will have to be released by the Cubs first at 11am Friday, Feb 16, 2018) at noon the same day for 1 million dollars.
  11. Who is going to play SS at Ft. Myers? I'd put Wander at CR or FM and Lewis at the other. Let each play SS exclusively and see in several years who wins the SS battle and who needs to be moved to another position. Same with Gordon at AAA and Polanco in Minnesota. . Leave them all at SS as long as possible and give the brain trust amble opportunity to view each one of the 4 and then decide which ones to move away from SS.
  12. Brothers and Sisters: We entered the off season needing a # 1 SP and a #4 SP in order to contend with the Cleveland Mudrats. The sun is shinning today in Ft. Myers! The pitchers and catchers have reported. We have gotten neither a #1 nor a #4 SP. Let's all rise, grab out song books and sing the first verse of, "It's Now or Never"...page 18 in our books. Let's all sing loudly, so the guys upstairs in the front office can hear us. A one and a two...
  13. I like all our SS prospects. I wonder if any of them can pitch?
  14. I would rather have Archer and his contract than Darvish and his contract with the Cubs, all things being equal...however all things are not equal and it will depend on what the Twins have to give up to get Archer. At what cost in Twins' players and prospects?
  15. I'd rather see some rookies get the 1st year jitters out and maybe, just maybe one will shine this year. Let's see what we've got in the minor league pitchers. And maybe we can sign another relief pitcher with some of the money we saved on not being able to sign Darvish.
  16. This day in 1988, Twins OF Mark Davidson was using his 1987 World Series championship money to build some duplexes here in our hometown, Statesville, NC. Mark went back to Clemson to get his 4 year degree this year and to be an assistant baseball coach at Clemson. Mark's son, Logan, plays SS at Clemson. Mark's daughter played tennis at Stanford. Mark will tell you that his children got their mother's athletic genes. Linda was a great athlete at Mooresville, NC High School . Mark and I used to play racquetball. The game is to 21 points. Mark would give me 20 points. to start the game. He never lost to me. So there you have some Twins' history from 30 years ago today.
  17. Can we please attempt to trade for Realmuto! Then we would be solid up the middle.
