    and people thought he was an ace.

    Parmelee is in MN next year as the starting 1B. I wouldn't be surprised at all if Sano started in AA, though I think they will be aggressive with him and put him in Rochester. Not sure I'd DH Beresford. Kid has no power. If the Twins have 40 man spots, I could see them putting Romero there to keep him around.

    That isn't a strategy you do right now. It's one you do when you are missing a piece or two, not before you know what pieces you are going to be missing.

    Isn't that Cole Devries pitching?
  5. diehardtwinsfan
    spent a lot of time there.... perhaps I ran into him.

    Zionsville.

    Let's cut the "heir apparent to catcher" thing. Mauer's value is tied to being behind the plate. I don't mind him getting reps wherever they have a need to keep his bat in the lineup more, but he still needs to catch quite a bit, unless Pinto suddenly becomes as good or better of a hitter, and I'm not seeing that just yet.

    Not for a while... I think at that age, he'd have to enter the regular draft. Doesn't he have to be 23 or something like that to be a FA?
  9. diehardtwinsfan
    Apparently, Kenosha, WI was an exception to that rule.

    I'd prefer to pick up women, but most dogs wouldn't eat 90% of what's on that menu. You might have better luck with women.
  11. diehardtwinsfan
    Agreed. Wait, what did I agree with?

    The name alone means its to intelligent for a game thread, let's just go with a good story.
  13. diehardtwinsfan
    Not to get all politicky (and you cannot spell that without the icky), but some idiot carried a loaded gun into a theater a while back and went nuts with it. I'd just assume have a chance (even if it wasn't that good) of doing something to save some people.

    I'm in the Indianapolis area these days. Spent about 10 years of my adult life in Fort Wayne (with a 5 year interlude in the Chicago area). I've done some contract work down in Bloomington. Nice area.
  15. diehardtwinsfan
    I'd say something about Kentucky, but I think that's even disturbing for them.
  16. diehardtwinsfan
    Why not? Something tells me there's a story here.
  17. diehardtwinsfan
    Yeah, you just cannot carry it anywhere.
  18. diehardtwinsfan
    That's Dozier? Glad I live in Indiana... and that my wife doesn't follow baseball.

    I'd caution on vague statements like "negative". It's really vague and can chase off good contributors. I don't have a problem with negative posts personally. I have an issue with people (positive or negative) who knowingly post irrational things over and over and over again in multiple threads derailing them all into a *****fest when most of the time their comments are unreasonable... That's my 2 cents. You guys have a pretty tough job, so I don't want to knock you, and the tone of the board has improved a lot of late, so I shouldn't complain too much.

    biggest complaint I have is not an IE 10 thing, it's that certain adds somehow manage to show up in my history, so I cannot hit the back button anymore to get to the previous page I was on, because my history is loaded with some link to an add site. Honestly, I haven't noticed any big bugs with this site and IE 10... My new Yahoo mail on the other hand... sucks.

    He was talking about the cookies, not the photo.
  23. diehardtwinsfan
    They overpaid by 30M on the posting fee, and since the fee is generally half of the contract, the total overpayment is about 50-60M... I agree the Twins need to go after him.
  24. diehardtwinsfan
    This thread has a got a whole lot of disturbing in a hurry.
  25. diehardtwinsfan
    This is the second time I've heard this here, and I've never seen a link to substantiate it. I would think if this was true that someone in the Texas front office may have their job over it. That's a pretty gross miscalculation. That said, I don't know if Darvish is a good comp or not, but what I do know is that Tanaka pitched good enough to get the comparrisons, and I've heard more than once that his split finger fastball is better than anyone else's... anywhere. I have a tough time believing that the total investment for Tanaka is only going to be 60M. That would be nice, but I suspect you are looking at a 50Mish posting fee and a similar contract when it's all said and done. That's a good risk for a 24 year old pitcher, a lot smarter than tossing that at a 31 year old pitcher. Given the savings the Twins have had in the payroll dept this year and next year, I think they should do it, and this is another young talent that fits into that next wave.
