    Seth - any chance of either (or both) Curtiss and Melotakis making the opening day roster with the Twins? They could be two big pieces in the bullpen. And I like the idea of Garver being given a shot on opening also. What's there to lose?

    I think it was Power Alley with Jim Duquette and Mike Ferrin. I don't listen often enough to know their biases, but I would have more trust in what they hear from around major league baseball than in what us amateur GMs opine. Just reporting what I heard here, Mr. Brooks, not proclaiming dogma.

    I've never seen him play but that's what the Nationals were saying according to the MLB guys. While listening to them discuss Castro, I really got a bad feeling about trying to sign him.

    And Lewis Thorpe

    On a long drive today, I listened to the MLB station on Sirius Radio. According to their "experts," Ramos would like to be traded to the American League because he thinks he is finished as catcher. And the Nationals are not interested in Castro because he can't hit and his defense is mediocre. Maybe the Twins need to look elsewhere for catching help. They also mentioned that the Dodgers are looking for help at 2nd base and have plenty in the minors to offer. They are also looking for a backend of the order innings eater. So maybe Dozier and Ervin Santana get shipped west for a bunch of prospects.

    Has Falvey been included in this decision? I sure hope he's on board.

    #18. Because there are a lot of days between football games.

    Thanks. Maybe I'll remember it now (although I already forgot the question - Martha, where are my pills?)

    People use a lot of acronyms in the comment section, most of which us old-timers (I remember the the first Twins game in 1961) don't understand. I get the general meaning of most but the one that baffles me is "SSS." Please explain. It sounds like something from a World War II documentary on the Nazis. Thanks.

    Who?

    The biggest event of the day for me was Berrios recovering from a bad first inning and follow it with five incredible innings. Hopefully, this is the start of a long run of Berrios Does It Again games.

    I have a Duffy question. Living in New England, I seldom get the opportunity to see the Twins in action. Last year, when Duffy was going well, I thought I was hearing about his 12 to 6 curve ball. I've seen him throw a couple times this year and he seems to throw almost sidearm, which doesn't provide any downward movement on his curve. Has ue changed his arm angle? Or am I "mis-remembering" his curveball?

    I reread the post five times. I can see how you can read it as you've interpreted it. I think it was not written as clearly as it could have been. Regardless, no tanking allowed in baseball.

    The paragraph I quoted said that even though the Twins had high picks, they missed out on the above named players. I just pointed out that the above named players were all gone before the Twins picked.
  15. terrydactyls
    All of these examples were picked prior to the Twins first pick.
  16. terrydactyls
    If the Twins get a nice trade offer for Nunez, is Leonardo Reginatto ready to finish the year with the Twins?
  17. terrydactyls
    What are these playoffs of which you speak? I am not aware of these things.
  18. terrydactyls
    However, if he comes up, pitches a couple good games, he can be dealt to a contender. There are teams that need help right now and we might be able to get a prospect. Or package Milone with Plouffe/Dozier/Nolasco/Santana for a couple prospects.
  19. terrydactyls
    Milone is probably the best trade chip available. Bring him back now and hope he responds like last year. Then trade him for whatever you can get back. According to the talking heads on the MLB network on Serius radio, several contending teams are looking for back of the rotation starters who provide at least a 50/50 chance of a win. No other Twins starter fits that criteria.
  20. terrydactyls
    Looks like Buddy Boshers is having a year that should lead to a call up to the Twins.
  21. terrydactyls
    Buddy Boshers keeps showing up in your reports in a positive way. Is he a possibility for a trip to the big leagues?
  22. terrydactyls
    Can we have a roatation of Berrios, May, Meyer, Duffy and Gibson for the month of May and see what the future might look like? Call up Chargois to take May's bullpen spot.
  23. terrydactyls
    14 pitchers, 11 non- pitchers. I haven't played in a long time but aren't there only 8 positions besides pitcher? The Twins have three players on the bench, not two. Not that having only three is a good idea, but at least the math is correct.
  24. terrydactyls
    30% of all balls that hit a bat end up with a runner ending up safely on base???? Doubtful. F any pitcher had this line, he should retire.
  25. terrydactyls
    If a guy can throw five innings giving up only one hit, I really don't give a darn about "missing bats". I would like to see him hit 27 consecutive bats if the result is a couple of singles followed by double plays. Missed bats are more important for relievers coming in with runners on base. But even then, I have nothing against a double play. Missed bats are sexy but not manditory.
