  1. *checks calendar* Yep, right on time. Should be a fun few months for Dozier fans
  2. I'll take Joe over whoever they take in the Rule 5. He's one of my favorite Twins players in my fandom. I don't have expectations of him being great in 2019 and I fully admit it's for nostalgia. It's going to be a long, long time until there's another Twins player that plays 15+ seasons with the team. I'm going to enjoy the last period of time he'll play professionally.
  3. The Twins waste the 25th roster spot all the time on people not worthy of the spot. Waiver wire pickups, rule 5 players, etc. I can't think of a better person that deserves it next year than Joe Mauer.
  4. Summary: Twins are in the early 'feel it out' stage. Don't appear to be full on sellers quite yet.
  5. In spirit of bringing the original topic back... They're not calling up Gordon. He's not ready, nor should they start his service time/option clock now. Get ready for the Taylor Motter show! Or some other middle IF waiver wire pickup.
  6. So far Plouffe is 1 for 1 with an OPS+ of 445!!! Another one that got away...
  7. I was crucified on this very website for saying Dozier is better than Escobar in May...
  8. It's sad we'll never see pitching numbers like that ever again. I doubt the entire MLB will achieve 110 complete games this season.
  9. As far as bad contracts, I'd take Bryan Shaw off their hands. His stats are terrible this year but he was an iron man for Cleveland...
  10. Yes I do. If there's one thing the new regime has done is show ownership creative ways to acquire better talent by taking on additional payroll or eating more of a bad contract.
  11. I hope so too. A rejuvenated, in shape Sano would be huge for the organization. Nobody else has the power potential he possesses.
  12. Nice to hear he's working hard and bought into the midseason intervention. I'm still not sure if I want to see him in Minnesota this season. It's nice to hear his progress, but I'd also like for him to come back healthy, lost a bunch of weight, and motivated to crush MLB pitching.
  13. I love this so much. So weird, yet so beautiful. https://www.mlb.com/news/alex-bregman-delivers-walk-off-to-seal-win/c-285231446
  14. Is it okay to like Dozier again? Asking for myself.
  15. Frankly, agents would be doing their clients a disservice if they recommend declining a QO. Especially after the s*** they went through last offseason.
  16. Perfect! You and monkeypaws are now booked for 24 weeks at a BEAUTIFUL time share property in Orlando, FL! Hope you read the fine print of the contract...
  17. Annnd all we need is the CV on the back of that credit card...
  18. It's the thing I love about Milwaukee. They aren't afraid to go for it in years like this when they're competitive. They're the Kings of rental trades. Riding CC Sabathia like a mule in 2008... Zack Grienke before he became a Dodger... Now potentially Machado.
  19. So far the consensus is no one has a favorite anything on Twitter. It's the platform I spend the least amount of time on.
  20. Never caught one personally but my mom caught one before! We were at the old spring training complex by Walt Disney World watching a Florida Marlins game. Must have been 7 or 8 years old at the time. The Marlins must have been playing the Braves or something. I do remember Antonio Alfonseca was pitching at the time.
  21. Yeah... Hiura is #1 on John Sickels' prospect rankings in their org with a B+/A grade. That's a prospect reserved for a Machado, Thor, or DeGrom trade. https://www.minorleagueball.com/2018/2/21/17038344/milwaukee-brewers-top-20-prospects-for-2018
  22. FSN KEYS to the game: Twins hitters need to make contact Score more runs than the Royals before 27 outs are recorded.
  23. Wait... Do you work for FSN tasked with creating keys to the game?
  24. Trevor Plouffe makes his triumphant return to MLB baseball with the Phillies. He's now a 'utility' player for them.
