    I'm guessing this is sarcasm. No reason TR would do that deal.
  2. diehardtwinsfan
    I thought that had more to do with the fact that he has little to trade.

    I thought multiple wives was a Utah thing...

    Ok, I have to admit, every time I see this thread I assume it's about a racial slur or something like that.

    On this topic, I'm tired of a few things: 1) The slant in general. Don't care if it's liberal or conservative... It all tends to be statist. Report the news. Have a few different opinions on commentary. This isn't difficult. 2) The assumption that most people are too stupid to recognize said slant (hence their actions in banning CNN and MSNBC. I'm just waiting for the Dems to ban Fox News, but they are too busy laughing their tails off).

    Well, under Bush it seemed to be a goal to be as Democrat as you could get, and they haven't quite figured out that this is bad. Then they suddenly decided to start pandering to their base under Obama, but they've so thoroughly run out the Libertarian base that all they have left is the evangelical base, who are generally too stupid to realize that they don't care that much for them either, and of course borrow and spend republicans. They've lost their way. Personally I wish they'd just crash and burn so that the Libertarians or Constitutionalists can take their place. At least then all of these Democrats masquerading as Republicans would have to go join the Democratic party.

    What in the world is a moob, and why are you calling me one?
  9. diehardtwinsfan
    You were doing it wrong. You give CPR to the mouth, not to the boxers.
  10. diehardtwinsfan
    That's harsh. I'm not even sure the lowest levels of hell are that bad.
  11. diehardtwinsfan
    I wonder if this had any bearing into the Carroll trade. It might mean that KC was desperate too.
  12. diehardtwinsfan
    I remember being pretty excited about him a couple of years ago when he and Arcia were destroying Beloit. He was completely different when Arcia moved up... I'd say at this point, he's not much of a prospect. He gets off to some hot starts but seems to have trouble as the league adjusts. Maybe he can fix all that, but I'd imagine he's going to stay in AA next year.
  13. diehardtwinsfan
    I would think he gets moved when Elizabethon's season ends. For some reason I was thinking they end fairly soon.
  14. diehardtwinsfan
    I tend to agree that these are the types of transactions that Ryan does well on, but it is a risky deal. I do think that regardless he can end up as a reliever. I hope he picks up a few more ticks on that FB too. I don't care how tall he is if he can work in the 93-95 range instead of 91-92, he'll get opportunities. Maybe we will get lucky and he's not done growing. At 19, it's possible.
  15. diehardtwinsfan
    Probably. Just about everyone gets put on it at one point in August.
  16. diehardtwinsfan
    I'm not against that, especially if they play at a position of need, but I don't those guys will come cheaply either.
  17. diehardtwinsfan
    I guess my point is that usually the decent second pitch is a curve or slider. Not a change.
  18. diehardtwinsfan
    I do think the Twins would benefit from using advanced metrics a bit more, but let's be fair here too. There's lots of garbage with this as well. I don't have too much of an issue being cautious implementing it. Unfortunately with this one, we are going to have to see how it plays out, and the metrics guy is going to have to prove his worth. I hope he's good at what he does.
  19. diehardtwinsfan
    I hope you aren't implying that Albers is God. I wish God was a Minnesota sports fan, but he seems to enjoy toying with us in that area. How else do you explain the Vikings and the Twins?
  20. diehardtwinsfan
    Yeah, I don't see us having much to trade to get some value. Guys like Walker, Harrison, Kepler, etc. are potentially nice pieces, but you won't have teams banging down our door to get at them. There's still quite a bit of risk associated with these guys, and in Kepler's case, he may need to be added to the 40 man while playing in A+ next year to avoid rule 5. I could potentially see them being tossed in to up the value to get another high ceiling guy, but those type deals don't always work very well or happen very often. If say Willingham started off next season hitting like last season, you might be able to get a top 100 guy for him tossing in a guy like Walker... Key word is might. A GM would definitely need to be desperate.
  21. diehardtwinsfan
    I highly doubt he'd clear waivers. I think the other problem is that he wouldn't bring back what we'd want. He was pretty abysmal at the plate for the first two months of the season and pretty bad last year, and I think a wise GM is going to recognize this and discount it. His value will likely peak if he continues this into next year. With Rosario knocking at the door at this point, we can either move him to short or trade him for a nice haul. I don't see that happening this month.
  22. diehardtwinsfan
    That I don't know... Seth might.
  23. diehardtwinsfan
    Then go sign up for a few message boards and post her over there. We want Rodon.
  24. diehardtwinsfan
    You can file an exemption.
  25. diehardtwinsfan
    Nice night for Kepler and Sleger. That Buxton kid is pretty good too.
