  1. Not saying I agree or disagree, but this approach has seemed to work with Phil Hughes (granted, you can cherry pick data to make it support just about anything)....perhaps the pitching talent the Twins have brought in, just isn't that talented.
  2. Tough to hang with this roster, however promising it may appear, with 90+ losses again. I know it's a different group than the first 90+ losses, but at some point, you gotta be bold...standing pat, just seems, so, wrong. No stats or anything to back it up, but I can't think patience is a good virtue here, especially when prospects can be become injured/suspects so quickly. If anything goes wrong with the guys up here now, they could easily hit a 100 loses.
  3. Why fire Bruno?!?!? I don't see how the pitching failures are his fault at all...I like the way his hitters have been more aggressive and are driving the ball
  4. I guess I don't understand why Meyers isn't up with the Twins, innings limit or not. If he is going to pitch up to an innings limit, I much rather see him take some lumps now with a club going nowhere, than going into next year, at age 25, and still having never thrown a pitch in MLB....the team isn't going anywhere, so what if he struggles....
  5. If you can trade Trevor May in two separate deals, I'm in!!!
  6. I think that gets you in trouble....rarely do 31 year old catcher suddenly become much better hitters than they have in the past.
  7. Hope to be wrong, but 5-9 sounds like a reasonable record over that 14 given how we've played the last 6...
  8. Disagree. Mauer was given all kinds of time off behind the plate to keep him fresh (used him at DH when he wasn't catching). Pinto should be getting many more starts behind the plate, even if Suzuki is the hot hand. At a minimum, I would go Pinto 3 games/Suzuki 3 games per week at Catcher. You can't develop as a catcher by not catching
  9. Always tough to turn down $30M...Can't hurt to see if he would take it. He *seems* to be a player that could get expensive in his arb years.
  10. Willingham is putting people in seats?!?! Maybe in 2012. I don't think people are checking to see whether the Hammer is playing or not before deciding to come to the games.
  11. Plus, veteran-ie-ness!!!!!!.
  12. Agreed with most of this...minus the Koala bears. They aren't THAT creative. I'd go with curious, over creative.
  13. Just the picture posted at the top scares me. Good gawd look at that arm angle!! (Yeah, I know, pitchers come in all sizes/shapes/forms/mechanics)
  14. Agree. Not that we want the Twins to lose, just rather, growing tired of KC....it's time to start seeing some of the younger guys who may be part of the future.
  15. I hope you are correct (minus the Pelfrey back in a Twins uni part)!! That would be awesome
  16. May 25 sounds about right.... Being it's the Twins, I wouldn't even split the odds, it's probably a slam dunk it's Pelfrey. <sigh>
  17. Some might call it luck...I like to call it....well, luck, I guess. - Happy Gilmore
  18. End of day, it's pretty embarrassing that they have to resort to using a supposed SS of the future in CF because of roster mismanagement...
  19. Being we have him under control til 2018 (I believe), I'm still of the mind set, that we don't need to extend him at all. Just go year to year with him. It's not like they don't have the money to. He'll be on the downswing of his prime 2018, at which point you don't want to extend him for big money anyway.
  20. New market inefficiency....25 man roster with 25 pitchers. Everyone can pitch, everyone can play anywhere!! Roster flexibility baby!!
  21. Technically, you are correct about the playoff spot...I was trying to be a little more realistic, I guess
  22. Bring em up, or release/trade him. He does no one any good ripping the ball in AAA. The Twins aren't competing for a playoff spot, so see what the guy can do with extended time again.
  23. Listen to Dick Bremer pronounce *Matt Weiters*.....sounds like Man Wieners.
  24. Love it!! If you're going to suck, suck big time!! Go all Astros on it.
