    I'm loving this site right now.
  2. diehardtwinsfan
    Yeah, I have to wonder what being touched by a white walker could mean in the baseball world... Florimon suddenly being able to hit?
  3. diehardtwinsfan
    I was thinking more like Craster's goats.

    I don't look too kindly on intentionally misrepresenting what it is that people are saying, and this is a real good example of that. No where have I said not to call him up due to risk. I have been clear in that what's best for Meyer isn't necessarily being in MN right now. I've also been clear that him being in Minnesota right now isn't necessarily in the best long term interest of the Twins either. I've been clear that 40 man concerns are very valid given that he's not on it presently, and that there are several other very deserving candidates who are on the 40 man presently who should get a shot prior to Meyer (all of which changes next year when Meyer has to be on the 40 man). Sano is exactly what I'm referring to when it comes to risk, because if he had gotten the cup of coffee in September that some were asking for despite the fact that it was questionable that he was even ready, he'd be wasting a year of major league service time on the DL right now. When we factor in things like needing more minor league time and time to adjust to the majors, that lost year makes a huge difference on the competitiveness of this team long term.

    I went to the Dr. today to get my head checked out. He said that my problem was watching the Twins. Apparently, looking at lineups like these the last few nights cause the same symptoms.

    1 hole is rangers returning 2 holes are wildlings 3 holes are white walkers

    Nice results to see... He's doing what I'd expect a college pitcher to do to low A hitters. Hopefully, he's in FTM soon.

    Not to pick nits, but if they called up Parmelee, the tough decision would have to be made now. The only way to post pone I would be to put someone on the 60 day DL, as that opens another 40 man spot. The 15 day DL does not.
  9. diehardtwinsfan
    It's in the 80s today in Indy... Not too much longer guys...
  10. diehardtwinsfan
    It should be Dozier... It probably wont' be however.
  11. diehardtwinsfan
    It's not a win now plan. I think Pinto is going to need some time in Rochester to rediscover things. Hicks most certainly does and is going to do this team no good year in and out flirting with the Mendoza line. Vargas is on the 40 man. If Mauer goes on the 15 day DL, that's move I'd make... and as I said about Parm, I'd prefer he get some more time in AAA. Right now though, the team has no bats, when one of Hermann or Florimon needs to be in the lineup. You can safely call them both up and play them every day.

    I'm getting a headache just reading this.

    If MLB really wanted to do this, they could have simply bought talk to contact, GATG, and a bunch of other pod costs and simply licensed it as MLB extra or something like that... Besides, doesn't Gleeman work for NBC? Given that they do have those rights, this gets somewhat interesting.
  14. diehardtwinsfan
    I would agree with the sentiment, but things can and do go wrong. We had this debate about Sano last year. Had he been up on the ML roster, he' have wasted a year of service time this season, and even if they had already optioned him, he'd have wasted an option and then another one potentially recovering. While I can respect that Meyer is an elite prospect, that doesn't give leeway for mismanagement.
  15. diehardtwinsfan
    Hmmm... makes me hope for Gordon in the 1st and Hoffman in the second... won't happen, but one can dream.
  16. diehardtwinsfan
    On the map, yes... not a top prospect. I gave up on him last year, so I'll be happy if he can force the issue... but to be clear, I am not expecting it.
  17. diehardtwinsfan
    What exactly does Dozier need to do to be considered foundation? He's one of the best OPSing 2Bs in baseball with elite defense to go on top of it. I think Arcia might prove to eventually be one of those core guys too... If he can figure out major league pitching like he's done the minors, he's going to be a solid middle of the order guy for years to come, even if it's just a DH/RF guy.
  18. diehardtwinsfan
    This team needs to do something about the offense quickly. The smoke and mirrors are going to end soon. Personally, I'd like to see Parms get a few more games in AAA, but I do think he should be back here in MLB, and I'd give him an entire season to prove it... Since we are on roster construction, my suggestion would be as follows: 1) Call up Arcia, send Pinto down to AAA to regain his stroke. He's been lost lately. 2) Swap Hermann for Fryer. 3) When Pinto regains his form, swap him and Fryer. 4) Install Escobar as the every day SS. DFA Florimon, and bring up Nunez to be the utility guy. Call up Parmelee. Find room for him in RF, 1B, and DH if needed. Right now, that would be easy to do. 4b) If Mauer is headed to the 15 day, I'd think long and hard about giving Vargas a cup of coffee. 5) I'd probably send Hicks down along with at least one reliever. Call up Kenny Wilson (not b/c I think he's good but b/c I want Hicks playing every day in AAA). Burton I think is the guy to go, so he's traded (not likely) or DFAd in favor of someone who can swing a bat. Injuries are kind of forcing Ryan's hand here. We need bats sooner than later.

    Having Hermann on the roster is inexcusable.... Having Hermann, Florimon, and 14 pitchers on the roster is inexcusable...
  20. diehardtwinsfan
    and that in his worst season, he was still better than Herrman or Florimon?
  21. diehardtwinsfan
    I was jumping to catch a high throw from the 3B in a softball game and collided with the runner trying to beat the throw.
  22. diehardtwinsfan
    I must confuse I'm longing for Punto too.... Oh, you said Pinto.
  23. diehardtwinsfan
    This has Nellie written all over it.
  24. diehardtwinsfan
    Off and on mild headache... not enough to keep me from doing my job. Get light headed when I stand up quickly, which isn't terribly unusual except that it happens pretty much every time I stand up. Honestly the lower back pain was what really bothered me yesterday, that's finally clearing up and I'm just sore all over.
  25. diehardtwinsfan
    I'd say they would make them watch the game... Though in reality they just weren't fans. Cleveland fans are some of the worst I've ever met.
