    47 pitches...pitch count probably set @ 50

    Too soon...too soon.

    As a nobody whose opinion should be disregarded, I think he has he has some decent value. A catcher batting near 300 who is a good club house guy, he has to fetch a teams top 10 prospect. I know it is only a few months but catchers who can hit are fricken valuable. Hell, Butera brought back a top 20 guy who in turn brought back a decent major league super utility guy. Not to mention the catcher market is almost always bare.

    Willinghams value does not fluctuate from game to game. He is 35 yrs old. This whole "trade him while his value is up" is ridiculous. Sometimes we act like we are trading with 14 year old gms. These guys know what the players are. I personally do not think Josh has much value now, nor did he 2 years ago when some fans wanted to trade him. We will be lucky to get a top 20 prospect for him. This isnt a video game or fantasy baseball. Now i do think suzuki has some value and might warrant a top 10 guy in a bad system (maybe a top 20 guy from a system like ours). I think he is a great dude and good player. I lean towards an extension for next 2 years, hopefully 1 year with an option year. I just dont think the cards or orioles are going to pony up a deal taht we could stomach. I think we end up listening up to the deadline, then extend him. He handles staff well and is a dude. As far as kevin c goes. I am in the majority and think you trade him for anything. Mostly, your opportunity costs for keeping him is less time in bigs for may and/or meyer. Just my two cents on the trade front... Lets be more realistic with some of the trade talk. I think we are all in kevin love mode and ready to collect a bunch of top prospects. Aint gonna happen brothers.

    No way on Dylan. If we need someone else we could always throw in Jesse Ventura...or as a side trade Jesse Ventura for cash consideration
  6. Twins Twerp
    We might have to add duensing and prince to that deal...maybe get the less famous golic brother in return to make it an even trade
  7. Twins Twerp
    Ulger back @ third...he already has the stop sign up during the middle of the inning.
  8. Twins Twerp
    Throw in Duensing, Max Kepler, and (insert other irrelevant low minors reliever) and this deal is done #sarcasm #hypotheticaltrade #donottradeguysinprimewhoareprestillprearbitration #overevaluatingourprospects

    Non issue. Just so happened to save money. Nothing to be disappointed about. It isnt enough money to sign some of the tough sign guys. Moneys saved probably go somewhere else...even though 200k is like a value menu burger in mlb budget terms.

    I thought he had a commit to UCLA. I am guessing he would go there. The Astros really piss me off after they pulled this bs. I hope there rebuild fails and they clean house. They do everything different from shifts to losing on purpose. This hasnt been done in baseball for a reason...shame on them.
  11. Twins Twerp
    Two things, probably out and how big is Kendrys arm. They just kept replaying it and all I could think was...JC is that guy ripped.
  12. Twins Twerp
    You are one lucky SOB. Looks like lots of empty seats. What is atmosphere like? How about those self serve beers?

    Im thinking error
  15. Twins Twerp
    JO Berrios is flat out nasty. Fastball sat 95-96 and explodes out of the hand. Change seemed to have good movement. Only took about 10 pitches to get 3 outs. Looks like he won't be out for the second inning. Meyer is slated to pitch in the 5th.

    I am just watching the futures game on MLB.com since my cable carrier does not have MLBNetwork. Here is a link to the game: http://m.mlb.com/video/topic/82896484/v34463741/live-xm-allstar-futures-game Kennys Vargas struck out in first and probably only at bat. Berrios about to take the hill as the World Team starter. Hope he pitches better than Phil is pitching.

    This is a skewed view on young people, how to run a franchise, and baseball in general imo. It is definately a case by case basis and a team should always lean towards the conservative. So you make a case, then point out when the twins followed your view...it didnt work. No counter post needed...hicks is a great example on why AAA time is important. I am fine with waiting until July to call up May and/or Meyer. Hell Meyer didnt even play a full season in AA and HAS been pushed.
  18. Twins Twerp
    I think we all prefer Parmalee in CF. The season is almost already a wash...lets get crazy. An outfield of Collabello, Parmalee, and Willingham #worstoutfieldever

    This article would not have been written if the Twins were still above .500. Gardy cannot be blamed for a pitcher having a tight elbow. Of course he doesnt want to hear when guys are "sore." Guys are sore everyday. Hell I woke up sore this morning from watching the Twins game at an odd angle last night. That is one thing that is bad about the constant news cycle. We nitpick every quote without the context. I think we get whiny and need instant gratification #wussificationofamerica

    Phil Hughes? Can we really be that negative to onlysee the bad? How about Johan Santana? He seemed to turn out ok under Rick Anderson. The Twins were in rebuild mode and still remain in rebuild mode. You have to find a few players every year who can be long term answers. I would venture to say we have found some staples this year. Dozier is the second baseman for next half decade. Hughes and gibson are pretty good mid rotation guys. May and Meyer are on the brink of showing what they can do. Pinto looks like at the very least he can smash. Oswaldo is here to stay if he can cut his k's a little. CF to me is a mute point. Buxton will be the CF by mid season next year. I think hicks can still contribute and at least be a 4th OF (remember Span took longer to cook and was given up on by most). SS looks like we finally have some talent coming up. I like our rebuild much more than teams like Chicago and Houston. The storm is coming. If you arent patient for a baseball rebuild...stop watching baseball.
  21. Twins Twerp
    O i got this one...Prior?
  22. Twins Twerp
    Pretty much agree. I would like to add suzuki to the post. With no viable catching options i think he should be brought back. Pinto is a conundrum. He should catch and be a the dh on non catching days...but who knows if he will ever be an everyday catcher.
  23. Twins Twerp
    Any word on Burdi yet?

    I know it has been said over and over by our more logical thinking members, but this sell high argument is ridiculous. We act like GMs are blinded by hot months. 2 years ago Josh Willingham had a pretty good year, but no team was going to offer a top 5 team prospect for him. And i also hate how people call out the front office for not trading him when he had value. We have no idea what would have been offered for him, yet some td members were calling for him to be traded for prospects. No one is arguing that some twins trades in the 2000s worked out poorly, but to get angry about trades that didnt happen is ridiculous. Phil Hughes is going nowhere. When I first read these post i laughed so hard I soiled myself. We finally have an ace type pitcher for WAY under market valu...and we want to trade him so we can compete in 2025. How bad would it look to prospective free agents if we sign the, to multi year contracts, then sell them 3 months or a year later. That isnt how the twins do business and isnt how anyone should do business. The cubs have been doing this the last three years and I think it is a bad, dirty, and counter productive way to do business. In closing (had a td vacation because of smartass posts and too many violations), lets let the season play out a bit before selling people off. I would rather extend Suzuki for next year with a team option for 2016. Wait until the trade deadline and then get what you can from KC and Morales and Willingham. No one else will have any valu. Of course I think the team will be competing at end of July so the whole post is mute...Go Twins.
