    You won the popular vote, Dave, but ... (just kidding). I applaud your sense of humor!

    Sounds we're negotiating with Iran.

    What's the weather like in Minnesota? Was yesterday Wednesday? Slumping at your desk chairs? Drink a bottle of Rumor? 422 comments. Not sure if there was anything in the glass, but everyone sure was stirring it. Me included. To the Twins! Burp.

    It just seems logical that instead of paying him 23 million a year for 2 more years you pay him 5 million a year for 8 and a half years. But then again, it's also logical to pay him upfront and get off the books. I don't know.

    Meaning long term deals with heroes are a thing of the past. Too expensive, too risky. Everyone moves on. Other teams may do it, but I don't see the Twins paying like that again.

    Nice article, Junior Member. You have a point of view and you expressed it well. I, like most of the others, disagree, however. Trade Dozier while he's at his peak ... make sure you get maximum return. If not, we'll see him in a Twins uniform in 2017. We must build for the future. Falvey's view, which I like, is not get attached to particular players. In today's game rosters change drastically from year to year. The days of Oliva, Killebrew, Carew and Puckett are long dead and gone. Wasn't this proven by the mega-deal that Mauer got? Rest in peace, Twins lifers. Off topic: I bet it has been discussed ad nauseum but why can't the Twins, even now at this late stage in Mauer's contract, defer money? All it would take, it seems to me, is a meeting of the minds and an agreement to help the Minnesota Twins by reducing his yearly payment and stretching it into future years.

    I am absolutely in favor of signing a veteran or two - but please let them be a shortstop, an outfielder, or a pitcher!! (yes, two exclamation marks!)

    I would love to have Bellinger, but their current first basemen Adrian Gonzalez is going to be 35 years old in May, so the timing seems perfect for L.A. to keep the 21-year-old Bellinger.

    Club control? Which club? It would seem to me no one has control of him at this point. If no one claims him he can opt out of his minor league contract, can't he? In other words, he can quit American baseball at any given moment, just like quitting any job. Or am I missing something? (probably)

    Elephant's foot? geometrical design typical of Turkmen rugs? Chernobyl formation of corium? A half (length) (sleeping) bag, known in the French as pied d'éléphant, and one form known as a bivvy bag? The foot of an elephant? A type of step stool with concealed spring-loaded castors allowing the step to be easily moved? An elephant's foot umbrella stand? A parlour game? I am at a luss. A type of chocolate choux bun

    What a waste of trade potential. But it clears room for others to play and that is good.

    It's fun, but like reading a person's tombstone with date of death already chiseled in.

    I don't think his BABIP will go up in the future because defenses know almost exactly where he is going to hit the ball, and they've known it for a long time. Further decline in my crystal ball.

    The Twins were a losing team (never in first place) from 1971-1986, and then again from 1992-2001. During those years I eventually lost interest ... Those were drought years. Depression Era. Dust Bowl. Jalopies driving west with mattresses, tables, chairs, and nine kids piled on top. The real sick deal. This little old thing over the last six years ain't nothin ... yet ... I'm a'waitin, and I'm a'hopin. Tom Joad where is you now?

    Unless one of the analytics guys can play shortstop and hit ... then it's a two-fer.
  17. ScrapTheNickname
    But nobody is in the room. Just the janitor setting up chairs. He sneezed - I think that meant he wants us to pick up a shortstop and a catcher and five pitchers who throw over 100 miles an hour.

    "talking to the angels" - that's how mad they would have to be to consider trading Sanchez.

    shirsey = part shirt, part jersey. I get it. Very clever slip on the icy keyboard.

    After saying it a few times it sounds like I'm saying "sad" with a lisp, which starts to really sounds sad.
  21. ScrapTheNickname
    Hiding in right field.
  22. ScrapTheNickname
    Question: how long can I player be injured on the field before being told by the umpires to leave the game? Rule? (I'm sure it's vague)
  23. ScrapTheNickname
    This is my sentiment too.
  24. ScrapTheNickname
    Maybe he LIKES living in PHOENIX in the SUMMER?
  25. ScrapTheNickname
    Excellent (and fairly obvious) point. Small-mid-market teams spring up regularly because of the parity-inducing draft system, etc. ... but they can't stay there. The Twins' run from 2001-2010 far exceeded the normal window of opportunity (do I have to say in my humble opinion?).
