    Yeah based on everything I've read so far, without watching the games, there hasn't been anything to change my decision of Greene 1st overall.

    Their starting pitching is a detriment to the team, and I don't think their bullpen can make up for average starting pitching anymore. It will be interesting to see who they sell off in July. When you add up the sum of all their parts, it sounds like a good lineup... But on their own, is Hosmer that good? Moustakas? Gordon?

    Happy birthday!

    Good for the Twins. Good luck to Vogelsong.

    Jonah Keri started his annual Trade Value Player Rankings list on Sports Illustrated. The first column is the "Just Missed" and Honorable Mentions list. A Twins player we have high hopes for is on this column. Not sure if any others are going to make it.

    Lol! All it takes is a quick glance at the man in the red shirt.... And zooming in on the USA shirt girl

    Where are we at on the food item bet? I'm thinking he's a traditionalist.... Hot Dog and soda. Mustard for sure, maybe relish.
  8. Vanimal46
    Things to think about: -By which inning will Chi move down to the front row of her section? -The guy in the red shirt: what food item will he order? -The girl in the USA shirt: she looks cute. That is all.

    Have you treated yourself to key lime pie ice cream yet?

    Today at Fangraphs, "2017 Positional Power Rankings: Third Base" Woahhhh, we're halfway there! Woahh-oh! Livin' on a Prayer!

    6 years $25 MM with 2 additional option years that could bring the total to $50.5 MM if both are exercised. No one with less than 1 year service time has signed a contract this lucrative. He was going to be a FA after the 2022 season, and now they have options to buy out his first 2 years of FA. This is the kind of contract extension I'd want the Twins to do in regards to Sano and Buxton.

    IF the left side of the infield doesn't bobble ground balls constantly IF Kepler makes the next step IF all of these veterans makes a difference or just delaying things more IF any young reliever steps up
  13. Vanimal46
    I think that open spot is going to Breslow.
  14. Vanimal46
    Agreed. Tonkin is not someone to worry about potentially losing. If you walked into a bar mid-conversation and overheard "He's a decent, not great reliever who throws hard," about 10 names on the Twins could come to mind. At some point, they just need to trim the fat from this huge group of middle relievers.

    Were we all this nervous when Torii was diving all over the place on the concrete carpet surface at the Metrodome? Buxton will be fine. Continue making highlight reel catches, Byron!

    Panic button has been pushed. This is getting bad. If Dubs is gassed, this team will be lucky to make it out of the first round.

    I'm not watching his games, clearly, and commenting just from how I'd approach it as a below average former HS player. I'd go up to the plate with the plan of not swinging the bat at all. Let's be honest, only by pure luck would we be able to catch up to a 100 MPH fastball. I'd do everything in my power to make him hit the strike zone so I could get on via a walk, or god forbid, getting hit by that pitch.

    Limestone! Welcome to the show! I LOVE the outside of the box question... Unfortunately I don't think the rotation is going to do well with the lumber this season.... What veterans are there to help them with swinging the stick? LaTroy went 0-8 with 7 K's in his career, so he's not the guy. We all know the gold standard for pitchers hitting, and that's Bartolo: I would feel so much better if a veteran like Bartolo was on the team showing these youngsters how to hit a baseball!

    Mauer should have an extra pair for you in case if you forget!

    Close, but that's not our intern! Our intern was just starting off as a caddy at the local club looking to latch on to Happy Gilmore's coat tails, but wasn't able to make it... Especially after this happened on national TV.
  21. Vanimal46
    Another great question! Now, whenever I'm looking for work, I usually go in the employee's only entrance of their building and demand to speak to whoever makes hires at that place... If they don't tell me the person's name, then I open up a briefcase that's spring loaded with 200 of my resumes, and shoot the resumes in the air. It's usually quite the display! If all else fails, you can always take it to the STREETS, and see if anyone will hire you there. The more creative the sign, the better your odds. Good luck!

    Great question, Mike! Let's just say there is going to be a Whine Line: Game Thread Edition on this topic! You remember when your young ones were just starting in pre-school, and each school promoted the fact they have a 2:1 student to teacher ratio? Well, let's just say the Minnesota Twins Pre-School Academy has NEARLY a 2:1 Veteran to non-veteran ratio! No one else can beat that!

    Thank you for the call Paul, and welcome to the show! The options are endless to fill the void in your life after the iditarod race! Here's a couple of things that the intern does in his spare time: - Play MLB The Show and trade all of the All-Stars to the Twins - Follow Justin Beiber around the country and attend all of his shows - Read the Terms and Conditions document for the latest Apple software update - Go to restaurants and only order water. Time it out to see how long it takes you before they ask you to order something or leave. Hope this helps!

    Bark! We're sorry for the late response, but your message was the first one on our NEW and IMPROVED voice mail system. Of course you can have another Friday night added to your life! In fact, you're going to have a TON of Friday nights when you're an empty nester and living the dream out on Bark Island! This band looks like a blast to watch! And who says they can corner the market on heavy metal fast food bands? I say we do some crowd sourcing to create a Metallica cover band and dress up as the Great Root Bear! http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3624/5819676060_1ed8fa2ed8_z.jpg

    ANNND Welcome back! To Minnesota Twins Whine Line. It's International happiness day according to our own Mike Sixel. What better day to make a return to the airwaves than today? We're here to make you laugh until it hurts... Let's set the tone of how the day's going to go with this JAM.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TYv2PhG89A A lot of things have happened since we last checked in. Trevor May is out for the season Tyler Jay is also moving to the bullpen.... Something that is mind.boggling. to the intern. He's developed Tyler Jay into a 93 overall ace pitcher on MLB the Show at least 4 times. Why can't they do that in real life?! Before we jump into new calls, let's check back on some voice mails we missed out on.
