    Thinking about this a bit more... What if the Twins offered Pelfrey to Baltimore plus some of their international bonus money... Does anyone think that this would net one of those two prospects? That might not be a bad way to bring in a higher ceiling guy closer to the show... Just speculating a bit, but it fills a need and gives the other team an immediate way to add another high ceiling guy into their system.

    I think Logan Darnell will be in the starting rotation next season.

    Just to pick a nit, but as of today, the Twins are tied with the Mets for the 5th worst record in baseball. Not sure what the tiebreakers are, but they are very much in line for a top 5 pick and I'd imagine by the all star break it might be higher... As well, typically, losing teams aren't going to have a massive amount of tradable assets, if they did, they wouldn't be losing teams. As it is the, the Twins have one very nice tradable asset (Perkins) and a couple more that might net something decent (Doumit, Fein, Morneau, Pelfrey, and Correa). I don't expect top 100 prospects for anything other than Perkins, but the Twins should be in place to get potentially usable pieces for the remainder.

    I tend to agree, though I think the question is "what was the goal of the 2013 MLB club?". I'm pretty convinced that this was a rebuilding year, and they did what should have been done for that. Not blocking young talent and letting some kids play was likely part of that, as was accepting a bad year for a nice pick next year.

    I'd imagine Garza and Perkins would fetch a similar haul. I'd certainly trade Perkins for those guys. I'm somewhat curious what Baltimore was supposedly willing to send over for Pelf. I highly doubt it was either of them.

    He came across very blunt and to the point... yes, there's lots of GM speak, but he was still very blunt. If you notice, he doesn't bash anyone in public. Even when someone didn't play well, he usually couches it with a compliment in some way. He also defends the decisions of those below him and takes responsibility. I gleaned a few things from this: 1) Gardy will not be in a Twins uni next year. 2) Young players need to step up, but the roller coaster rides with them is to be expected. 3) He is not afraid to pull the trigger on controversial items.

    My apologies. I could have made my point in another way.

    I think it's too soon to crown Dozier a keeper, but it's really nice to see what he's doing. Rosario is going to start next year in either AA or AAA, so Brian has plenty of time to show management if he's for real. Worst case, he bumps Florimon out all together to make room for Rosario. If the Twins run into the problem of having Sano, Plouffe, Rosario, Dozier, and Parmelee all producing, then one gets traded.

    I'm not a Gardy fan, but I can guarantee you that the players on this team aren't as you say and "not bothered" by losing. These aren't a bunch of women who think that the most important thing you do is participate and get a ribbon. These are guys who have gone their whole lives winning and being the star player on their teams. Loosing bothers them, just because they don't show it in a way you deem appropriate doesn't mean they aren't bothered by it.

    Wow, that's disturbing. Only if you can sue to keep American TV out of Canada. I suggest you start watching the Blue Jays.

    This Burl?

    If you care enough, they will see your passion and start caring as well. As a start, I suggest copious amounts of alcohol mixed with firearms and naked pictures of Derek Jeter.
  13. diehardtwinsfan
    extending Morneau is just like making a trade.

    Twins like to keep guys in CR for an entire year. He's done well, but hasn't dominated. He will finish the year in CR and start in FM next year.
  18. diehardtwinsfan
    Yes, the Twins knew he was going to get hurt and picked him anyways in a major reach.
  19. diehardtwinsfan
    He's in HS, so adding a few ticks to the FB isn't all that unusual. He could be up to 95 in a few years, or could go the Twins route and be throwing 85. He had his debut today.
  20. diehardtwinsfan
    ok, you can stop talking about me now.
  21. diehardtwinsfan
    And in doing so, he gives Martin rights to defend himself under Florida's stand your ground laws. I have to agree with Levi on this one. Manslaughter would have been a slam dunk conviction. Murder is not, and based on what I've seen thus far, I think Zimmerman goes free, and then we get to deal with riots afterwards. This was a stupid decision motivated more by politics than by evidence, and it's going to bite them bad.
  22. diehardtwinsfan
    He's blown through the .230 mark... .350 here we come.
  23. diehardtwinsfan
    Is Sano hurting a bit? He didn't play except for a pinch hit yesterday and he's out again today... Rosario seems to be figuring out AA. Got his average up to .263 now.
  24. diehardtwinsfan
    Span for Storen? I know that one was talked about quite a bit and didn't happen.
  25. diehardtwinsfan
    I highly doubt they spend 20M... much less 50M.
