What Will The Twins Do With Danny Santana?
USAFChief replied to Parker Hageman's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Actually, an unhealthy reliance on Casilla-types was a primary reason the Twins always seemed overmatched in the postseason. I would be fine with Santana as the futility infielder in 2016, but be ready to dump him if necessary. -
So what's your plan for catcher? Stick with Zuke and hope?
-
I concur 100percent on the "blocking" thing. But for the record, Morneau didn't leave as a free agent.

Morneau might or might not be a fit, but if Plouffe is traded, DH becomes a need, and I don't trust Arcia or Vargas any farther than I can throw them. I wouldn't even think twice about "blocking" either of them, particularly since Arcia should be in the OF if you're dead set on giving him more rope.

As someone who isn't planning on voting Republican, I'd be willing to concede the Republican nomination to Cruz today.

True. Wouldn't want you working without proper tools.

OK sports fans, thought exercise: Lets say the Twins are in the series instead o the Royals, and have just won games one and two at home (I know, I know...far fetched, but work with me here). You have tickets to games six and seven. Do you want the Twins to end it in New York, and fly home for the parade? Or do you want the series to come back home, so you can attend, with, of course, the chance they end up losing the series?
-
you mean when we added a FA DH like Chili Davis, a FA starter like Jack Morris, a 3b like Pags? Or when they traded for a starter like Blyleven?

"He's just fine as a nine hitter" //it's been way too long since I last heard that...//

Cuddyer for Nolasco. Done and done.

Robinson, Thompson, Fryer Outrighted
USAFChief replied to Seth Stohs's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
They still have Dyson. -
You've got Mauer too far left, but yeah.
-
Cuddyer signed a two year deal and is owed $8.5m in 2016.
-
I question anyone who considers THAT the quintessential old Woodstock joke.
-
Exactly. I think he was adding additional items to the list of things better than an Almond Joy.
-
Somebody show Mauer the HR porn. That's how you treat a 3-0 fastball.
-
I didnt at all. I thought they got beat. We'll see going forward, but I sort of felt one real noticeable trait of this year's team was, while short on talent in some areas, they were long on heart and moxie. Whatever that is. I never thought they looked or played intimidated.

FTFY.

http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/mets/lenny-dykstra-blackmail-umps-walks-plate-article-1.2413364?utm_content=buffere0ae2&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=NYDailyNewsTw Lenny Dykstra claims on the Colin Cowherd show that he hired PIs to get dirt on umpires and get favorable treatment on ball/strike calls. That claim is ridiculous on it's face, and only looks more ridiculous if you take 5 minutes and give two thoughts to the particulars. I'm not sure what I draw most fom this... - another data point confirming that Dykstra is a terrible human being, or - that Cowherd has a national radio show is another data point confirming that society has gone to hell.

Eat chocolate, then wash it down with an American beer in remembrance of yesterday?

Davis will only be 30 next year. He's an insanely great fit to hit behind Sano. Or in front of Sano. Were it to happen, who gives a poop if Vargas, Arcia et al are "blocked?" The point is to win, not to give opportunities. But the cynic in me says it's wishful thinking. No chance. The Twins do not think big.
-
I always felt Gardy let his team know how he felt with multiple (paraphrasing here) "we'll have to pay perfect baseball to beat that team" quotes going into the postseason. The Twins were intimidated, and it started with the manager.
-
Game one to the Royals 5-4 in 14 innings. 13 pitchers used, time of game 5:02. Fun with numbers: game two of the 1916 WS also went 14 innings. Final 2-1 Boston. Totàl pitchers used: 2, time of game 2:32. Winning pitcher: Babe Ruth, who is actually the same age as tonight's loser, Bartolo Colon. //and no, I was not in attendance. I watched on TV.
-
So you don't think it goes six games then, I guess.

Buzzkill Chitown. I blame you.
