    I think Billy Williams was better know by his nickname Lando. . .
  2. Loosey
    I am not very smart. . . He is still on.
  3. Loosey
    I thought McGriff fell off the ballot . . .
  4. Loosey
    1) Jim Kaat 2) Bob Feller 3) Fred McGriff - I'm assuming players who aren't eligible yet don't count. Otherwise, Jim Thome is my guess. 4) TY Cobb, Rickey Henderson, Vince Coleman, Lou Brock, Kenny Lofton???

    It's the Twins continually fearing young guys having a chance and failing. They seem to be much more comfortable going with a known commodity, even if that commodity has little upside. But at least they know what they are getting.

    I liked him a lot when he was just coming up with the Twins. Maybe this chance will get him back to potential, he is only 28 years. If not with the Twins maybe he will show enough in Spring Training and in AAA for another team to want him as a major league bench player.

    I usually don't HATE MiLB signings, but I hate this move. It tells me Twins management is still scared to just let their youth take over. The odds are slim Quentin sees time with the Twins. However, he will take needed ST at-bats away from other players that will have meaningful time with the Twins at some point. I would much rather see Arcia, Kepler and Buxton get a combined 50 more at-bats than give them to Quentin.

    Awesome. Thanks for the information.

    Obviously it would be after they are done working. I don't even think he would walk up to them anyways. Just wondering if it's basically if it's my kid and I sitting there will the players acknowledge him and say hi as they are walking back to the clubhouse. I'll wait to see if Bob or Halsey have any details or I will message Bob on Twitter.

    Would any of the players be annoyed if my 4 year-old wanted to meet/shake a hand after they were done working out?

    Heading down to Fort Myers/Naples area the week of February 15th. A week before pitchers and catchers report. Is there anything to do at Hammond during this time before guys report? Or is it a ghost town?
  12. Loosey
    When my plan A doesn't pan out, yep. I'm that guy!
  13. Loosey
    Not to mention it takes them away from Buxton seeing Major League level pitching in games that don't matter.
  14. Loosey
    You're such a pessimist!
  15. Loosey
    Plan....???
  16. Loosey
    They are using my fantasy football philosophy. Grab positions you already have and hope the excess exceeds expectations and then trade him for a position of need.

    You realize Kepler is an outfielder/1st baseman? Who are you confusing his name with? Rodgers? Also, mixing up names aside. Why is this convoluted to have a very hard throwing lefty with a lot of upside available to be in your bullpen? O'Rourke is dispensible if need be and Milone is a starter as of now. I don't understand what you are questioning.

    "Scavenger Hung". . . Freudian Slip there, Seth? Ha.

    I hope the only losing 5 lbs was actually an approved plan. I'm not usually a skeptic but something has seemed off with him this off-season. I have never heard this about him, but is there a work ethic issue with him? It seems that losing 20 lbs of unneeded weight, ie fat would not affect his power. And for a 270 pound man, 5 lbs should come off in a week of intense workouts and even slightly better eating habits.

    They remind me of the 1997 alternate jersey they wore for like two games. All I remember about them is watching sportscenter the next morning and Dan Patrick's open for the Twins highlights was "Well, the Twins pulled out their Softball Uniforms today." And Olbermann's reply was "Dairy Queen!". I don't like them. To me they are just red jersey's with the TC crest on the upper left chest. Not too much effort in the design in my opinion. They should go old school or really change it up and use the Kasota Gold as the primary color.
  21. Loosey
    That's true for 90% of the teams. Realistically only the Yankees, Dodgers and Red Sox could go out an buy an entire team if every one of their homegrown talents failed. Every other team would have to piecemeal together a roster and hope they hit on draft picks and trades for prospects.
  22. Loosey
    I just wish the team would pick a direction they are going. They are so bad at informing the fans at their plans when it comes to reasoning with personnel. I doubt many would be upset if they broke spring training with Burdi, Chargois, May, Perkins, Jepsen, Fien, Meyer, Rodgers with others waiting in AAA. The team just needs to let the fans who are uninformed know their could be some implosions and bumps in the road, but this is what the team will begin to look like in the future. There will always be Duensings and Abads waiting on the scrap pile if some of the young guys need to get sent back down to AAA for some seasoning in May, no need to start with junk. I would rather have a rocky pen with young guys than implosions with scrap heapers to start the season.

    To me the handing out extensions with more money for career years is the Twins showing desperation and fearing the future. I think sometimes they look too far ahead at the money they MIGHT have to spend to keep someone if they continue to excel. Instead they should bank the saved money because they clearly have someone at a discount (Hughes 2014 example). That is the Twins conservative nature at it's finest, they fear the unknown and would rather just pay up now rather than risk having someone leave or have to get into a bidding war to keep them. They are the same way with their roster management. They know what Plouffe is and are willing to pay for him to play 3rd base. Sano could play 3rd base and be as good or better, but the unknown is what if his defense sucks and now they already traded away their known commodity of solid defensive 3rd base. The Twins for the most part are risk averse, and they are willing to pay and sometimes overpay to continue to avoid risk.

    I'm skeptical on entire season pitch tipping as an excuse for any pitcher. 1) If every team he is facing sees it, how does his own team not notice it since they see him every time he pitches. 2) How was it now addressed once it was discovered. Basically (from the photos) he may as well have yelling "Curveball" before he threw one. I don't but that as an excuse.

    I personally don't care about strikeouts in regards to Kyle Gibson. For others I think it matters more. I personally would rather see him throw 4 pitches per batter and have them tap something to the infielder than have to work a 5 - 7 pitch at bat and get the strike out. But the article is encouraging in the fact that maybe he could turn into a top line guy if some of those whiffs start coming with 2 strikes.
