    OK, home made seafood mac and cheese in the slow cooker... back to the game. I see Sano is out to prove me wrong (and I hope he does).
  2. diehardtwinsfan
    They are trying to reach new markets.
  3. diehardtwinsfan
    It's the 3rd strike that usually prevents that.
  4. diehardtwinsfan
    Mauer is allowed to let ball 1 go by anytime...
  5. diehardtwinsfan
    anyone worried yet about Santana's lack of strike outs?
  6. diehardtwinsfan
    yay, double play
  7. diehardtwinsfan
    Danny Duffy on pace for the strike out record as well.
  8. diehardtwinsfan
    mid season form.
  9. diehardtwinsfan
    ESPN game case is in season form I see, recording every out in the seats in RF foul territory.

    I think the top is in. That correction appears to be here. Should be some good buys in the near future. If you were thinking of taking some profit, now would be the time to do it.
  11. diehardtwinsfan
    did we win yet?
  12. diehardtwinsfan
    You're dead to me.
  13. diehardtwinsfan
    Don't worry. I don't think anyone would confuse you as a Limbaugh fan.
  14. diehardtwinsfan
    Looks like someone needs to go for a drive.

    162-0 here we come...

    Eddie isn't a guy that needs a sexy K/BB ratio to be a good player as his contact skills are exceptional. A few ticks on each side of that equation will be more than enough to lead to much better numbers overall. Problem is that I don't see if that Eddie will show up... Hope he does. We need it. A Rosario, Buxton, Kepler OF would be pretty defensively, and if Eddie can improve at the plate, it would improve the other half of that equation too.

    take what they give you. If they play back, by all means, drop the bunt from time to time...

    He's freaky fast... Watched him turn routine singles into standing doubles in ST. He could easily get 12+ if he plays 150 games.
  19. diehardtwinsfan
    I think Buxton has a monster season personally. .850 OPS. 10-20 HRs, lots of doubles, and a decent OBP. He looks good so far.
  20. diehardtwinsfan
    speaking of which, he's a FA... ducks and runs
  21. diehardtwinsfan
    This is what needs to happen. Problem as I see it is that so far, I'm not sure Sano has shown he's capable of doing this. I have a really bad feeling that Sano ends up in Rochester at some point this year.... and I really really really want to be wrong and will happily eat crow if I am.

    I don't get the anger about Tonkin. I realize he hasn't performed, but he's shown flashes of the ability to do so while notching a pretty impressive K and BB rate. I'd be upset about losing him. Patience is a virtue, and the Twins aren't the only organization forced to be patient with players. Tonkin's first real shot was last year. Think about that. He got cups of coffee previously, but never really got a chance. Give him some time. He might fail, but I don't think cutting bait this early would be wise. It's not like Chargois earned it. He didn't.

    He doesn't need to prove he can dominate AAA. We all know he can. He needs to prove in AAA that he is doing the things he needs to do to succeed at MLB, and that stuff won't necessarily show up in the box scores. We all DONT know that he can do that, because he certainly didn't do it in MLB last year. His time away matters in that case because he gave the coaches no opportunity to observe and pitched very little on top of it. In the same token, both Duffey AND Mejia have looked good this spring. If they didn't, Berrios would likely still be in the running. Now on Meyer, I'll freely admit that from an outsider's perspective, something doesn't look right there, though in 2014 I think he was going to get called up but managed to get hurt instead. It's hard to ignore that little piece. He's one to watch. I thought the trade was a bad idea.

    I was on the record for not keeping Santiago to be clear. But the May injury pretty much proved the front office right there. There are two vets in the rotation (Santiago and Hughes) that are not bets for long term success. One will likely be serviceable... Maybe both will be, but one will likely fail. The problem is knowing which one. That part isn't easy. You jettison them both now, and there's a real problem if/when the Duffey/Berrios/Mejia contigent struggles... which they will. So honestly, I can kind of understand it. If we are lucky, Santiago holds down a spot all year long and big steps forward by Gibson suddenly make the rotation serviceable. Otherwise, he gets flipped in July and replaced with one of those guys once the season is over or just gets released.

    I'm not ready to shut that door personally. We saw in yesterday's Santana thread that Santana gets by on two pitches. Now you may be right eventually about Duffey, but given the success he had as a starter in 2015, I have to think he warrants another shot starting (unless of course he's front and center saying put me in the pen)... My bigger concern on Chargois is if a guy like Boshers makes it. He's been bad this spring, so I don't think you necessarily reward that with a roster spot, but the final configuration of the pen is what I'll be watching (that and how short the leash is for a few guys).
