    Tonkin may not be perfect, but he has some upside, which is a rarity here. Let him pitch more, he has some stuff, and it will show the more comfortable he gets.

    Sano has always swung hard, but I now think he has went to full Jack mode!
  3. Platoon
    TIVO update, Plouffe has put this team on his back and is carrying it........
  4. Platoon
    Did I not just hear CJ was eliminating the toys? .
  5. Platoon
    It should be easy for Ryan to extend him, he obviously can't read!
  6. Platoon
    I thought it looked familiar.

    No I shouldn't have! Not really!

    Pat Dean: Hi mom, guess what I just got called up to the Twins! Mom: oh Patrick, and things were going so well in Rochester!

    Does it have to be to right? And don't be nervous, no one on here will ever criticize or denigrate anything you type! ROFLMAO

    So good has come of this after all!

    We moved a soft tossing lefty to Rochester! And brought up ............................... Yet another soft tossing lefty? If we had just changed the names on the back of the shirts, would anyone have noticed?

    I am belatedly, and sadly I might add, catching up on TIVO. Meyer or Berrios would never have survived the fourth! They only bunt to aggravate Chief!

    I ne d to get out more? They have flavor?

    There is a reason Anthony, Goin, and Krivinski are Ryans right hand men. They all are on the same page, those who weren't are gone. I would imagine the outside hiring pool would be limited. You might get a young ambitious guy who wants to build a resume and then move on. While I think Ryan should retire, I just can't see anyone operating successfully with this ownership. Win some games, be a low level contender? Sure. But a top notch competitive organization? Never while the Pohlads own it.

    As I mentioned above, I can see Plouffe traded. The negatives of keeping all of those four are overwhelming. But for those who see Dozier moving on, I think they better settle in for a long wait. He is pretty much the FO perception of the face of the franchise. And the team is not flush with ready to play Middle IF, as usual!
  19. Platoon
    This hurts to say, but we have now cornered ourselves for at least another month. Barring a specific injury on another team, you really can't trade Plouffe, Dozier, Jepsen etc. For a bag of balls, sure. But not enough teams have defined either their path forward or needs. (Yes, some teams actually do that) That said, unless Ryan is willing to show everyone exactly how stubborn he can be, I think Plouffe will finally be traded. Mauer won't be, Sano makes no sense, and the Twins never trade a new FA like Park. Leaving Trevor the odd man out. He will cosmetically shuffle the BP, maybe even bring in Chargois, and likely dump Nolasco. and that could possibly be it. This will be followed by an interview with LaVelle, to wit. The Twins are fine folks, just going through a tough stretch right now!
  20. Platoon
    Too big to fall? That would be Miguel!
  21. Platoon
    So like the BP and the catchers, there's a chance?
  22. Platoon
    You forgot the one playoff series win also!
  23. Platoon
    Yet more pain and suffering!
  24. Platoon
    And it continues! I could live with the non FA in the BP, since it seemed the stated plan was to bring in some of the younger relief arms. But we don't. We just keep shuffling mediocre talent. I have no idea whether Chargois, Meyer, Buxton, Polanco, Kepler, Burdi et al will make it or not. But we have reached the time and place to find out. I am likely going to get killed for saying this after Plouffes night, but it started with the keeping Plouffe thing. It set the OF up to be a disaster. Buxton, Hicks, or Kepler would have caught that deep fly ball in CF, and the line drive to Sano was catchable by an actual OF. But in reality this isn't the result of just a BP decision or Plouffe non trade. It's the result of years of just gettin by, and now the chickens have come home, and it ain't just to roost!

    I distinctly remember a game we were ahead, I think it was early April, and I know May pitched. He must have, Molitor pitches him in every game. Edit: Sorry, I looked it up. That game was actually in ST!
