    Five Songs: Dust in the Wind - Kansas The living years - Mike and the Mechanics Oceans, where feet may fail - Hillsong Scandal of Grace - Hillsong The Great I Am - Phillips, Craig and Dean. 6th Song Nothing Else Matters - Metallica 7th Song Pachelbel's Canon in D. That should get me banned.

    They killed Kenny... Those bastards.
  3. diehardtwinsfan
    I'm going to move this to the main forum. There's going to be a lot of talk about August trades in the next month.
  4. diehardtwinsfan
    There are 1 year reclamation projects such as Span that are available every year. I think something like that will make sense for both sides.
  5. diehardtwinsfan
    There's something to this, but unless Buxton goes to AA and just rakes, I'm highly skeptical that he's going to be wearing a Twins uniform next season.
  6. diehardtwinsfan
    Unlike the NFL, major league contracts are guaranteed. There's no out unless it's been agreed upon contractually. Pelfrey could request to be released (and the Twins could grant it) like Nishi did a few years back, but beyond that, Pelfrey is a Twin in 2014, regardless of his injury status.
  7. diehardtwinsfan
    I don't get the dislike for Darnell. He's not Meyer or May, but he looks like he could reasonably be a mid-rotation type starter. He's not your typical 5th starter that this team like so much.
  8. diehardtwinsfan
    He was also considered to be one of the quickest to the big leagues. Not a bad place for him to start. AA next year, so already a potential callup.
  9. diehardtwinsfan
    Personally, I'd rather bump him up to AAA and give him a taste of slightly better competition. I think Hicks has a confidence issue as well, that seemed clear (to me at least) based on some of Gardy's comments about how he was donig well in ST and then as soon as the season started he got very tenative again. I don't think throwing him right back up here would be good, but giving him a smaller boost in difficulty would be good for him I think. This season is lost. I don't have too much of an issue with Parmelee being a backup CF for the remainder of the year. This offseason, however, they need to do something to address CF.

    Guys with control issues in the minors are going to have problems in the majors. If they are afraid about it, it's legitimate. There's a reason people were very down on Trevor May up until this year, he was walking too many guys. Meyer hasn't been THAT bad, but he needs work in the area, and not being on the 40 man means he's not getting an extended trial. The way the org talks about him, he has an ML future, so I think it's more work/timing than anything else.
  11. diehardtwinsfan
    The Twins have some interesting 40 man decisions to make this offseason. I think that is good in terms of decisions that need to be made for the 25 man, because those spots will be at a premium. I suspect Nunez is gone, as I cannot see keeping 4 infielders with Sano coming up next year too.
  12. diehardtwinsfan
    This was something I've been kicking around mentally as well. I think it's the right idea for the remainder of the season. Give some of those guys a few starts to see what you have. If they do well, you might see them being valuable trade assets for teams looking for cheap, cost controled, MLB ready pitching.
  13. diehardtwinsfan
    He was struggling in AA last year too, though in both seasons he showed flashes of what made him good. I suspect the suspension hasn't helped, but I think he's going to drop a bit on a lot of prospect rankings.
  14. diehardtwinsfan
    That would imply fatigue, an injury, a mechanics adjustment, or something along those lines. Stikes me as fairly correctable.
  15. diehardtwinsfan
    Probably take issue with all the guys gone via waiver/trade. I suspect that we won't lose that many. Hammer I think will go. KC might go.
  16. diehardtwinsfan
    Seems to me that regardless of when he's called up, Millone would be a super 2 guy, would he not? 2.168 or whatever it is would definitely be in the top 22% of guys with under 3 years.
  17. diehardtwinsfan
    It happens on IE. FWIW, I wouldn't recommend running it.
  18. diehardtwinsfan
    2/12 with a vesting 3rd year for Zuke.
  19. diehardtwinsfan
    I'm guessing they had a trade lined up and basically said they wouldn't do it if they could reach a deal.
  20. diehardtwinsfan
    2 year deal with vesting 3rd year option.
  21. diehardtwinsfan
    Here's their top 20. I was interested in several of their C+ guys personally. Some of them might be had for Hammer/KC http://www.minorleagueball.com/2014/3/12/5501226/new-york-yankees-top-20-prospects-for-2014
  22. diehardtwinsfan
    yeah this. Not a spectacular return, but I could see a decent upside lower minors guy. or a higher upside reliever in the high minors.
  23. diehardtwinsfan
    Nolasco would go unclaimed. He could be dealt anywhere, but I highly doubt teams would go for him.
  24. diehardtwinsfan
    I think it has to be Pinto and either a FA or one of Fryer/Herrman.
  25. diehardtwinsfan
    Now that I've had some time to digest this a bit, I'm thinking that TR is pretty confident he's going to be moving KC today... That's my next prediction... Either KC or Suzuki moves yet today. Possibly both.
