    Yup

    His lateral movement isn't all that good. His arm has the potential to make up for it.
  3. HitInAPinch
    "they're going to hit a lot of ground balls either fair or foul" Oh, Roy......
  4. HitInAPinch
    whenever the ChiSox #9 hitter strikesout, do Chicago fans scream "AW, Shuck's! " ??
  5. HitInAPinch
    Good One!

    Kurt Suzuki: The Hawaiian Hammer! yeah, that didn't work out...

    aaaand back to the ball game Has Gibson stopped using a sinkerball? The pregame show and the broadcast make no mention of it.
  8. HitInAPinch

    Ole and Lena got married. On their honeymoon trip they were nearing Minneapolis when Ole put his hand on Lena's knee. Giggling, Lena said, "Ole, you can go a little farder now if ya vant to" ... so Ole drove to Duluth.

    He'd be the one wearing a mask Edit: one of the guys wearing a mask. Always gotta keep an eye on them catchers, too

    Dozier Homer !
  12. HitInAPinch
    omg, Ole and Lena jokes. Twins Daily, you've hit a new low. Do better. I'm sure you can get lower.....
  13. HitInAPinch
    I take the time to give them a good, proper, berating. Then I add them to my "Blocked Caller" list.

    I'm curious of the 5/10 rule, as well. From Wikipedia [yeah, kinda lazy this morning] "5/10 Rule whereby players who have been with a club for 5 consecutive years and have been a major league player for 10 years cannot be traded without their consent." How about exposed to Expansion Draft? Why would an Expansion Team select Mauer? Veteran presence with only 2 (?) years left on contract? Edit: Adding that, from the expansion team perspective, I personally wouldn't do this. I'd go after all the young prospect I could corral.

    Oh, pulezee..... cold, dead, bony fingers. ;-)
  16. HitInAPinch
    What would happen with another Expansion Draft? Owners would get fatter.....
  17. HitInAPinch
    " Uff Da ". Thought I trademarked that phrase. Jeezzz. gotta call ol' J. Noble Dagget.....
  18. HitInAPinch
    Uff da, that's a tough one. Well, you could market Buxton on prospect status, recent stellar performance at AAA and youth. Maybe a couple prospects in return?
  19. HitInAPinch
    No. And at his stage of development, nobody should. I keep pointing back to the Strib article about the Red Sox letting your players develop: http://www.startribune.com/phil-miller-s-sunday-insider-red-sox-show-how-patience-with-prospects-can-be-rewarded/383534181/ This is what the Twins should be doing with Buxton. I actually got to see Bradley Jr. playing in those days. My god he was awful.
  20. HitInAPinch
    It was a joke........
  21. HitInAPinch
    Hey, if they can trade Kevin Correia, they can trade ANYONE
  22. HitInAPinch
    Absolutely. Unless you're Nolan Ryan or Randy Johnson, 3 quality pitches in the MLB is the mandatory minimum. Duffey looked great yesterday; a little like the Greg Maddox-style of pitcher I think he can be. Move the the fastball around the zone, change speeds, keep a good arm angle on the curve and drop in the change-up just to keep the batters thinking. A thinking batter is a batter in trouble
  23. HitInAPinch
    No. Duffey's been overthrowing.
  24. HitInAPinch
    They took Duffey out. http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0212/2376/products/6090_UN-FREAKIN_BELIEVABLE_WHT_1024x1024.jpg?v=1397482777
  25. HitInAPinch
    Well, Dick, if Molitor actually told Duffey was done for the day, wouldn't there already be someone warming up?? Edit: well what the hell is it? Who's warming up in the bullpen??
