    pitchers are adjusting to him. He's getting a lot less FBs I'd assume, and I expect him to adjust. He's still hitting, which is good. I'm quite impressed, as its looking more and more like Plouffe could be an above average hitter on this team for most of this decade.
  2. diehardtwinsfan
    Agreed. Those two belong in Rochester as filler for the eventual injury.
  3. diehardtwinsfan
    Rochester
  4. diehardtwinsfan
    yeah but everyone there is unemployed or broke... I wouldn't be shocked in the least if people are going to the game and not buying concessions and that type of thing..
  5. diehardtwinsfan
    Benson started the year in AAA, and if he continues to hit in AA, I think it's only fair to give him more at bats there... I tend to agree on Arcia and Hicks. Let them both finish the year in NB.
  6. diehardtwinsfan
    anyone know why Arcia left early?
  7. diehardtwinsfan
    he's in HS... He shoudl still add some mph
  8. diehardtwinsfan
    whether we like it or not, Blackie will be there. Diamond is a lock as well at this point. I suspect the team will have an open spot for Hendricks/Gibson/minor league FA to compete for. Hopefully the go out and get at least 2 decent starters.
  9. diehardtwinsfan
    Benson with a couple of hits. Michael had 3 hits in 2 games tonight. Kepler with a couple of hits, one of which was a HR.
  10. diehardtwinsfan
    dang...
  11. diehardtwinsfan
    the real question is whether he does the job naked.
  12. diehardtwinsfan
    wow, Luis Ayala... and when did he become effective?
  13. diehardtwinsfan
    Isn't a Jeff Gray appearance pretty much a guaranteed win these days?
  14. diehardtwinsfan
    I think greed gives way to stupidity here... that's just me. How much more will he make next year, and how much is it worth in terms of free agency one year sooner... and what's hte risk should he need Tommy John or something like that.
  15. diehardtwinsfan
    why?
  16. diehardtwinsfan
    my guess is that not nearly as many big prospects will trade hands for a rental player knowing that there are no draft picks to recover... with the extra wild card though, there may be an extra team or two bidding.
  17. diehardtwinsfan
    if he'd be willing to take a job in Rochester, why not... he has potential... always got lots of Ks, could never last long though.
  18. diehardtwinsfan
    we can hope that perhaps he's eyeing the eventual Red Sox opening.
  19. diehardtwinsfan
    given the Twins medical staff, I'd say April, at which point they will find out he needed Tommy John.
  20. diehardtwinsfan
    kind of surprised they didn't ride the hot streak and put him back in Rochester... I'm guessing that injury was a bigger deal that what everyone was letting on.
  21. diehardtwinsfan
    not exactly sure I'd call him a break out. He isn't hitting .300, and he's always had power. His type of power translates better to TF than it did to Oakland... that's about it.
  22. diehardtwinsfan
    Hendricks strikes me as a #3 type guy when he figures things out. He'll get enough Ks to have a fairly effective career, so long as he keeps the walk rate down. That isn't a bad pitcher to have in the rotation. But it most definitely shouldn't be the prize.
  23. diehardtwinsfan
    the occasional HR isn't the reason, it's the sudden inability to find the strike zone.
  24. diehardtwinsfan
    With some decent starting pitching, there's 0 reason to think this team won't be somewhat competitve next season, at the very least enough to keep TF full. If you get blown away for both of them, obviously deal them as the Hicks/Benson/Arcia group will likely replace their production by 2014. That said, I'd go into the deadline planning on trading one. I suspect Span will net the most value, and he's probably the most replacable as well, so my intention would be to deal Denard. A 2013 OF of Willingham/Revere/Parmalee should produce on the offensive side of things. Sans Revere, it might be a bit weak defensively.
  25. diehardtwinsfan
    yes, but only if they get decent value (aka not a #5 pitcher). Otherwise, bite the bullet and offer 12.5.
