    You're quite the extremist... Bullish on Romero but very bearish on Gonsalves and Jay. Here's to hoping you're right about Romero and wrong about the others.
  2. diehardtwinsfan
    I like Duffey as a starter, and personally I'd probably start him over Vogelsong. I just don't get the love there. I have no problems with him in Rochester as a starter too.
  3. diehardtwinsfan
    Fine, then that would be Hughes or Santiago I'd think... (and I'd lean towards Hector)
  4. diehardtwinsfan
    I'm still in denial about May. That said, tell me what it is about Vogelwhatever that gets him love here? I'm not seeing the reason to block Mejia or Berrios over him. I'd give one a shot, and I don't care whom at this point (baring of course a Dozier trade).
  5. diehardtwinsfan
    May goes under the knife this week. Any way of finding out which procedure he's getting?
  6. diehardtwinsfan
    Probably not a bad idea to bat Buxton and Kepler lower in the order to start the year... now that said, Buxton (I think) is having a good spring and definitely one to keep an eye on. If he hits well to start, I'd bump him up sooner than later.

    The video of that HR never gets old. One of my favorite Hawk Harrelson moments. Unfortunately, I cannot seem to find it online anymore
  8. diehardtwinsfan
    That just went on my list to try. Do you use any kind of rub with it?
  9. diehardtwinsfan
    why is Hildenberger likely to start in AA? Just curious.
  10. diehardtwinsfan
    Now that sounds like something worth trying... smoked mac and cheese. Might not agree on seafood, but I'd have to try that. Of course my kids hate smoked meat. Does that mean I need new kids?
  11. diehardtwinsfan
    My kids pick out the seafood and leave the mac and cheese behind...
  12. diehardtwinsfan
    Fire? I use a slow cooker. Never tried homemade mac and cheese over fire.
  13. diehardtwinsfan
    at some point later though, they just take them for granted... just sayin...
  14. diehardtwinsfan
    especially if you add crab, shrimp, and lobster too it.

    The 60 day opens up another 40 man spot. Perkins will likely be 60 dayed. May definitely will. Both give an extra 40 man spot to put Park back on. There's no exposure to waivers for the 60 day (I believe). You cannot use 60 day DL in the offseason, which I suspect is why Park got moved, as they were confident he wasn't going to get claimed. Otherwise, they'd have to DFA someone.

    I still think the answer is automating ball and strike calls... but who am I? That said, I'd say that framing helps with other things like catching base thieves too. If you aren't being pulled away, it gives you an extra fraction of a second to gun down the runner... I'd imagine that matters.
  17. diehardtwinsfan
    Having owned a husky... I'll just say that those dogs live for that kind of thing... Don't really follow the race though.
  18. diehardtwinsfan
    Do you teach English, because if you do...
  19. diehardtwinsfan
    I'm holding out hope that he gets the repair instead of the full TJS. He'd at least be ready for opening day next year instead of just getting back into the swing of things and in 2018... ugh. this one really hurts. I know some aren't high on him, but I think he was the best bet to be a above average pitcher on this team for the future... all those questions though won't get answered this year, and it's going to add another set of questions for him as well. Yuck.
  20. diehardtwinsfan
    yeah, definitely encouraging on the Hughes front. Hitting 92 is something he didn't do much last spring at all if I remember right. Add to it that the HRs came off the changeups, which we know he's working on. That was never a big pitch for him, though it would be nice if he could work it enough to setup the fastball.
  21. diehardtwinsfan
    Wright got shelled again. He's dropping on my radar personally. Faedo, Posche, and Buksaukas all pitched quite well. Not as many Ks for Posche, but they cannot seem to hit him either. I wonder if he'll be around in the 30s.
  22. diehardtwinsfan
    Another 2008 wouldn't be the worst thing (for me at least). I'm positioned a lot better this time around if that happened. I wouldn't mind picking up a few more rental properties for 10k a piece... The problem is the damage it would do to everyone else. I got burned in 2008, but we came out OK. So many didn't and the economy as a whole has still not recovered. I seem to remember Trump (or maybe it was someone else) dangling Glass-Steagle during his campaign. Unfortunately, with a former Goldman higher up on his cabinet, I don't see it happening. It needs to though.
  23. diehardtwinsfan
    not to be a Debbie downer, but they had a winning record last spring.
  24. diehardtwinsfan
    So was it Anna Chapman or Ed Snowden?
  25. diehardtwinsfan
    I kind of assumed you'd go after the flash. He'd be one heck of an OF.
