    Honestly, I think this country needs to dump the reps and the dems more than anything. Neither party is operating in the best interests of their own voters, much less the American people. The problem is people are so pre-occupied with voting the lesser of two evils that they forget that they get nothing but 2 evils. It's time to kick them both to the curb.

    I'm not quite ready to give up on Meyer yet personally. I think he still gets another chance at the rotation sometime soon.
  3. diehardtwinsfan
    I think the Twins are going to run into a real issue of figuring out who to get rid of in the near future. Every time someone gets a promotion, a person above them needs to be promoted, released, or can be put on the DL. The problem with pitching right now is that there aren't a lot of names in AAA/AA that are candidates for outright release. A lot of these guys could have an MLB future, even as a 5th starter. You don't release those guys. I wouldn't be surprised if you see the Twins unloading some of them at the deadline for complimentary pieces to fill spots in the pen.

    I seem to remember him getting off to a slow start last year too (though not quite this slow). I could be wrong though... so who knows. I'd like to believe that he's doing something different this year. Sounds like a case for Parker.
  5. diehardtwinsfan
    common split...
  6. diehardtwinsfan
    When it comes to freedom, both parties have done a good job destroying the constitution. It isn't like the Dems overturned the Patriot Act. They've continued to uphold it at every step.
  7. diehardtwinsfan
    For some reason I thought the Twins were awarded an extra option on Arcia this offseason... My memory could be hazy there. I don't have a problem with it. He was a big candidate to break out, but he's regressed. He's not doing better in AAA either. Make him earn it. I'd also make it real clear that no matter how well he's hitting, his defense needs to improve too if he wants to be called back up this year.
  8. diehardtwinsfan
    I'd vote Vargas personally. Walker is a 40 man decision this fall if I remember right, so I don't see him up. I'd say Vargas first, then maybe Kepler or Sano second.
  9. diehardtwinsfan
    not good
  10. diehardtwinsfan
    Lets get 11 games over .500.... then 12.
  11. diehardtwinsfan
    I'm guessing it means Tonkin isn't coming back. If Santana is going down, then I suspect we have a roster move after the double header to bring back Vargas.
  12. diehardtwinsfan
    They always do profiles on the least likely to be drafted earlier on Only way a guy like this is in play is if there's a major under slot deal in place and a lot of tough sign HS guys in mind.
  13. diehardtwinsfan
    Not sure I'd put Buxton ahead of Sano for the hitter of the month. Sano was a better hitter this month.. Just my 2 cents. Question on Kepler. Is he's 1B or an OF type? How is his OF defense? He's far more valuable if he can hit well and be average or better at an OF spot.
  14. diehardtwinsfan
    I really don't much about these DSL kids. These are all international FAs, correct? Which ones are the big names, and which ones aren't?
  15. diehardtwinsfan
    sounds like they don't plan on DLing Nolasco. If that's the case, Tonkin makes sense since no one is going to spot start and you can use an extra arm for the double header.
  16. diehardtwinsfan
    yeah, I think I'd rather have Allard over Aiken, but if one of those guys was going 1M under slot, that makes it real easy to pick up some higher ceiling HS guys along the way. Given the way the Twins system is stacked right now, I think that move makes a ton of sense.
  17. diehardtwinsfan
    Not sure I agree there. It is entirely possible to have a guy playing well in the high minors (and well in his injury call ups) who is blocked by better guys. That's the guy you trade.
  18. diehardtwinsfan
    I'd add, the guys I'd be looking at trading are the Pat Deans and Taylor Rogers of the world. ML ready back end talent. We don't really have room for it. They could probably bring back a decent reliever (not Chapman), but given what's behind them and what's in front, they won't see much time other than for occasional injuries.
  19. diehardtwinsfan
    Agreed here, but I think you need to figure out who the best are and then trade off the ones that won't be as good. Not quite sure I'd want to be dealing most of these guys (especially since half of them would be selling low).
  20. diehardtwinsfan
    Not a big fan of paying a huge price for relievers as I tend to think they are overrated. Don't get me wrong, I like a nice shut down pen, but we have arms coming up in house that will do that, and I'd rather give them a shot at the majors. I get that Chapman is one of the best, but you'll be getting something like 90-100 innings out of him between this season and next. No way I trade a prospect like Kepler plus someone else. I'd offer Nick Burdi. I don't think they'd do that (I wouldn't if I was the Reds).
  21. diehardtwinsfan
    I've found a cure for that if you are curious. Go to a Mongolian BBQ place. Fill your first bowl with the ingredients you want. Fill the second one with only garlic... and perhaps some hot seasoning.
  22. diehardtwinsfan
    Well done on your channeling your inner Brian.
  23. diehardtwinsfan
    I guess it depends on what Gardy drinks.
  24. diehardtwinsfan
    Is someone going on the DL in FTM, or are there any other moves to make up for Gonsalves going up?
  25. diehardtwinsfan
    still here.
