    I will gladly eat crow for ripping on Nolasco in the off-season. Hope he can keep it up so there's a glimmer of hope for a trade partner in the upcoming months.

    I believe Milone is out of options... if it were me, I'd DFA Fien to add Berrios to the 40 man, move Milone to the pen, and call up Berrios.

    In fairness, I was the original poster of this thread. I get the point that it's a new season, everything's duckies and bunnies until it's not. People can choose to believe that Dozier will turn it around because he has a track record. I hope he does.. I provided the larger sample size of his bad 2nd half and slow start this year, because if I started a thread saying "Dozier's off to a brutal start" It would only be a SSS!! discussion. If some want to give him time to adjust and/or pretend nothing's wrong, that's fine. IMO 300-400 PA's, wherever you want to draw the line, of below average production is a cause for concern. The expectations were pretty high for Dozier from people on this website this year, myself included. Unfortunately his at bats so far are looking more like 2015 2nd half Dozier compared to 2015 1st half Dozier.

    DFA'ing Fien - Yes, absolutely. Buxton to AAA - I was very stubborn on keeping him on the MLB roster for better or worse, but my stance is weakening by the day. Milone to the pen - makes a lot of sense to me. He'd be a great long reliever, and doesn't have to be relegated to that role either. He could pitch the 7th inning too. Berrios to MLB - Yes. ASAP call him up. Have we gotten past the date where they get another year of control with him? Kepler back to AAA - If Buxton's sent down, perhaps that opens up some opportunity for Kepler to play more. I'd hold off on that. Mastro - http://www.reactiongifs.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/nope1.gif That starting OF of Arcia, Rosario, Sano is a defensive nightmare.... I'd like to see Kepler-Rosario-Sano or Rosario-Santana-Sano..

    Berrios is ready... Arguably was ready right out of spring training with the exception of dealing with nerves early on. There's not much else he needs to prove in AAA IMO.
  6. Vanimal46
    Yeah I was wondering why it's nearly impossible to find his original music on youtube, spotify, etc.
  7. Vanimal46
    Yeah I'm shocked to read this news... I can't imagine the flu was the thing that knocked him out, but maybe it was. Not only was he a Minnesota icon, he was an international icon... Another big loss in the music industry. They seem to be dropping like flies this year.
  8. Vanimal46
    Pour one out for our homey Prince, who died today in his home. He was 57 years old. Another music icon gone too soon...
  9. Vanimal46
    One of my all-time favorite Prince jams... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3aDAFLbozCE
  10. Vanimal46
    Prince died in Minneapolis... Wow....
  11. Vanimal46
    Aaron Hicks takes the lead in this battle to the death with his 105 MPH rocket to gun out a runner at home plate yesterday... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkYrT5arGVw EDIT: I didn't realize this until I watched it again, but he gunned out former Twin Danny Valencia too!
  12. Vanimal46
    For this season yeah, I could certainly see a scenario where May becomes the closer. Do you think he could be in that role for multiple years? Or would someone like Shaggy or Burdi be the next multi-year closer?
  13. Vanimal46
    Yeah that's true. I'm putting the cart before the horse. Just reading about his stuff in the off-season and now reading about him dominating AA hitters has me intrigued. I'm hoping either him or Burdi could be the next multi-year closer for this team.

    Happy Thursday. Today is National Chocolate Covered Cashew Day! This is the best way to consume cashews, covered in milk chocolate, or better yet, dark chocolate.... Today is also National High Five Day! So even though the Twins lost last night, give someone a high five! Today is also National Poem in your Back Pocket Day! A day where you're supposed to share a favorite poem of yours to spread happiness and joy. What's your favorite poem? Today is also National Kindergarten Day! Some days I wish I could go back to the Kindergarten days... Coloring in the lines, learning how to share toys, nap time in the afternoon.... Ahh, the good ol' days. Finally, today is National Yellow Bat Day! It's a day to celebrate the 101st Airborne Division who served in the Vietnam War. For anyone who dedicated their lives to protect us, thank you for your service. You are a bigger hero than I will ever be.

    I remember Jose Mijares back in the day was a AA call-up without going to AAA first. Has there been other recent examples of Twins calling up a bullpen arm from AA? If Jepsen doesn't return to form here, I'd love to see Shaggy as the closer for the Twins...
  16. Vanimal46
    Wow. Alright that may be enough Twins for me tonight.
  17. Vanimal46
    Arcia doubling up on blunders here.
  18. Vanimal46
    In Wisconsin that music is on every current top 40 station! I've also heard that the iPhone 1 is the latest and greatest technology available...
  19. Vanimal46
    There's no other swing for Arcia other than try to launch it into outer space.
  20. Vanimal46
    If Bob Uecker was our play by play guy... "And Dozier hits a ROCKET over the 1st baseman! Carter's lucky his head wasn't decapitated from that ball!"
  21. Vanimal46
    Who says Dozier doesn't hit to the opposite field?!
  22. Vanimal46
    Bumble has my endorsement.
  23. Vanimal46
    Don't you worry Bark, I'll still be around.. I'm on the schedule for leading off game threads this season!
  24. Vanimal46
    I could... *furiously types baseball pants on Amazon* *orders pants 1 size too small* *uses Amazon Prime to get them before Friday*
  25. Vanimal46
    Jesus did I somehow turn the channel to the HR derby?
