  1. I generally agree, except I'm tempted to say another reliever would do more for this team than Bernier.
  2. This team has performed pretty well so far, but the bullpen has to be fixed if that's to continue. I'd start with Oliveros, and I'd move Meyer to the pen in Rochester and hope to catch lightning in a bottle. I'd even look at the AA bullpen.
  3. Good GOD that's a horrible 0-2 pitch. Geez oh pete@!
  4. Maybe it's just me, but I can't make that into a LH hitter.
  5. Rather fortunate DP, but we'll take it.
  6. Yeah, that speculation has been around for a while. Denied by MLB, if memory serves, FWIW. It does sorta look like his stance, though.
  7. Another nice play by Plough-see. That's a tough hop.
  8. doesnt he have to spend a minimum of 10 days after being sent down?
  9. Doesn't a player get 3 days to report?
  10. it's not 5 years, it's thru 2018 For both Hamels and Mauer. And the difference between paying Nolasco and paying Hamels is 10m in 2016 and 2017. only 2018 would require paying Hamels full salary, a year when presumably there should be plenty of salary room. Buxton won't be expensive by 2018.
  11. Sano and Nolasco for Hamels? Philly gets the primo prospect they're looking for, and some salary relief. Twins get the primo starter they need, reduce the salary drag by getting out from under Noasco's deal, and have Plouffe to play third and all the other prospects still in their system.
  12. The Twins had the third most PAs in the AL last year, scored the 5 th most runs. If anything, they should be adjusting up, not down.
  13. that seems a distinction without a difference, no?
  14. He doesn't need a contract through 2017. 2.75 more seasons. That's not really short term. Baseball players don't fall off the earth at 31, either, if you want more than through 2017. He's a good, solid big leaguer. Shouldn't the Twins be trying to collect those types?
  15. Which senator are you quoting?
  16. Plouffe isn't a short term asset, for one thing. Second thing: If you're convinced you're turning the corner, why would you trade major league assets? That seems backwards to me.
