    Once again, I must comment that beginning this question with "could" makes it a theoretical question. And because there is no law of physics, nature, biology, or any other law that would prohibited a a trade, the answer is always "yes, it could happen". The question really is "should" the Twins make a trade like this.

    The Mighty Mussels offensive effort was curt. Yasser Mercedes slashed a two-run homer to right in the game’s opening frames. Then the bats fell dormant. Maybe they were resting. In any case, Angel Del Rosario decided to take matters into his hands. In the eighth, he legged out an infield single, stole second, advanced to third on a pickoff error, and finally scored on a wild pitch. That’s high-quality manufacturing. If Rosario was on the Twins, he would still be at first base. Manufacturing runs is not allowed. Just wait for a home run.

    Ryan struck out Raleigh three times? I thought Twins' pitchers weren't allowed to face the batting order a third time? Has Rocco's extension btought on a change of philosophy or did he not know what inning it was?

    The Twins won tonight. They were inspired by the Rocco extension. All is well now.

    For those of you thinking about ditching the Twins, it's easier than you might think. When I left Minnesota (job opportunity), I signed up for the MLB single team option so I could watch my team. Then MLB dropped the single team option. I had a choice of shelling out over $400 for the privilege of getting every game in MLB or dropping the MLB package. I said No Thanks. So now I'm Twins-less except when on national television. If they are on, I usually record the game to watch later. But I've found that by the third inning, I start fast forwarding to find something interesting. And because the Twins seldom do anything interesting, I can get through an entire game in less than 90 minutes (although I did get through last night's game in about 25 minutes. So, in short, it ain't that hard to stop watching the Twins.

    I was going to write the same opinion (except the part about being a former college pitcher). Routine is very important when you only play once a week.

    Blaze O'Saben? He should be promoted to the Twins based on his name alone.
  9. terrydactyls
    That probably would 't happen. Any cash generated would go directly into the pocket of ownership.

    Captain Rocco!!! I see a giant iceberg heading toward your ship. Too bad the ship owners didn't put enough lifeboats on board. You can only save youself and your coaching staff,

    Pitchers are not the discussion. I wouldn't bring up Gasper to replace a pitcher. Although if he replaces Bride, he may need to throw a few innings.
  12. terrydactyls
    What I am trying to say is why hold it against a guy if he is 30 or more. If you need a spark and he is hitting at AAA, give him a shot.

    So the metrics say that Lee is over performing. Great. Are there any fancy new metrics that can tell us if he is adjusting to major league pitching and might continue hitting better than his "low floor" prediction?
  14. terrydactyls
    The comparison was about small sample sizes, not individuals. And I also hate the ageism that is being used. If a player can contribute, what difference does his age make THIS YEAR. Gasper isn't a prospect by any stretch of the imagination. But the Twins need help now.
  15. terrydactyls
    So you are saying that if a player is "only" going to miss 4-6 weeks, he's considered healthy? Then I guess the Twins are healthy.
  16. terrydactyls
    In order to "stay healthy", I believe you first have to BE healthy. And the Twins aren't healthy. To say that Gasper is "not a major league player!" (and with an exclamation point for emphasis) is only true because he hasn't been given much of a chance. One of my favorite players of all time hit barely over .200 in his first 100 MLB at bats and struck out 26 times. But Willie Mays did okay. And all this complaining that he's over 30? I would rather have someone hitting the ball who's thirty and not a prospect than someone much younger but can't hit. The Twins are needing help now, not next year.

    HUH? If the decision that is made matches your expected (hoped for) result, then you agree with the decision-making process? Otherwise the decision-making process is flawed? That is illogical at best.
  18. terrydactyls
    You "100% disagree" but then you "don't necessarily disagree" with Vasquez bunting? What are you - a politician? Pick a side.
  19. terrydactyls
    What really intrigues me is when players for the DSL Twins have their ages listed. 16 and 17 year old kids playing professional baseball. Amazing!
  20. terrydactyls
    He didn't say they would be contenders this year. 😅

    Now this explains the Alcala trade. The Twins traded Alcala for some trade bait to land Civale who will lead us to mediocrity.
  22. terrydactyls
    As @chpettite29 said above, the Twins are probably an 80-85 win team. I personally cannot understand why the Twins would trade anyone of significance just to get 2-3 additional wins. This team, if they make it to postseason, won't be in it long.
  23. terrydactyls
    The choice was to trade him for whatever they could get or DFA him and get nothing.
  24. terrydactyls
    Whenever I read about a SS with a compact swing and great contact skills, I think Paul Molitor. When he left Cretin HS and continued at the U of M, it was often said by scouts that he would never make it in the pros because of his lack of power. If I remember correctly, he did okay for himself.

    Do you keep this paragraph saved in a Word file so you can copy and paste it into every reply you make?
