    And what is the one tool that R. Grossman has?

    I have several humble thoughts. A post above said no way they would trade Dozier. Later the post said, you won't get anything for him? I find those two thoughts at odds. Another post has Dozier hitting 3, some call for him as a 4 stick. He is not going to get pitched the same in those slots with men on base. Today I listened to the first two innings on the radio, we were on the bike. I told my wife after the first home run what I thought of throwing him first pitch fastballs, and if they do, why bother paying for scouting reports. ( she was all ears) . A minute later Danno was discussing the same topic with Corey. If there is a scouting report in MLB that says through him first pitch FB, I would like to see a copy of it. I think it was Gladden who mentioned that some of the pitchers just want to see if they can do it. Ego.

    Definitely two camps here. Dozier is so valuable to the Twins we can't let him go. And Dozier plays a low value position, and has little value to other teams, ergo no trade value. But to me, one has to look at what this team needs and how to get it. It needs a good solid SP, someone above Santana's level. I don't expect an Ace, but someone who gives you a legitimate chance to win, against any team, every time he walks out there. I exclude the Sanos, Buxtons, Kepler, from this as I would not trade those young players. Of the veterans there really is only one choice. Mauer can't be traded, the Plouffe train has left the station, and there aren't any others. While that sad fact is another thread, that leaves Dozier. There is only one thing this team has an excess off. Sticks! There is no SP, no defense except Buxton, and no RP. If you can trade Dozier in some way shape or form, for a good SP, next years team will be markedly better than if you don't. Yesterday's Sox debacle should have made that perfectly clear. You cannot win on offense in MLB. Edit: there's other moves to make, but if we don't improve the SP, none will matter.

    Hopefully you are not referring to Brian's Dodge. That won't take us anywhere!

    I am too lazy to look it up, but did he hit any in the make up games? If so, please subtract by that amount.
  7. Platoon
    Totally agree with Gunn, it not if, it's only when!
  8. Platoon
    Hopefully if you are correct, it happens soon! Why should we be forced to suffer any longer? (just between you and I, have you heard of anyone building anything like an ark, or spaceship? If you did, pm me)

    Today's game simply confirms all the hitting in hell isnt going to win anything of significance long term. The first three runs were the direct result of an error. Poor pitching? Yes, but still should have been scoreless. The Albers and Deans can't survive 4 outs an inning. Someone said the other day this is our 2017 lineup, except for the pitchers. It better not be!
  10. Platoon
    And therein lies the Twins philosophy. They just CANNOT condone watching the occasional implosion. But they are perfectly happy to watch themselves get nibbled to death over 5-6 innings, and then bring in the pen. Those kind of pitchers always "look" like MLB pitchers. What I don't understand is why they traded for Meyer. He never fit their profile. It's like a rich 85 yr old buying a Maserati because his friends have them. Everyone's got one, and he thinks they're cool. But he still drives the tan Buick.

    Wish? Someone end it. Reminds me of the old Cajun tale about the bobcat in the tree!

    Pat Dean to the (you fill this in, I can't bear the thought)

    Dick is in full walk off mode!
  17. Platoon
    Should Dick be allowed to use the word "dramatic" when talking about the Twins anytime afte April 10th?
  18. Platoon
    Ryan O. New closer!
  19. Platoon
    The tension is almost palpable!
  20. Platoon
    Good One! And just as accurate as the original!
  21. Platoon
    Win or lose is really irrelevant. This game is the entire Twins situation in a nutshell. All rolled into one afternoon.
  22. Platoon
    Too bad Tyler Duff isn't still here he could pitch the third KC game.
  23. Platoon
    As long as Molitor is here, the bunt (attempt) will be.
  24. Platoon
    Offensive baseball at its best! Still get to bat tho!

    I KNOW you're not new here...... So there was no excuse for that post.
