    In that case, is there a return policy on players? Guy needs to put some giddy up on the pace between pitches.
  2. Vanimal46
    This is a fine start. 1 down, 3 to go. Let's keep it up Antony!
  3. Vanimal46
    As a former knuckleballer myself (because I couldn't throw a curve for a strike if my life depended on it) I endorse this move.
  4. Vanimal46
    Thanks for doing your due diligence with updating the thread Mike. It's very interesting to read what KLaw and others think about the Twins' situation and their players.
  5. Vanimal46
    Where's your LH starter in that rotation? We can't survive without a lefty in the mix.
  6. Vanimal46
    Relating to the Shelby Miller thread where we debated trading Gibson+Nunez for Miller.

    I did have some enthusiasm when RA took over. Figured he would want to prove to the league he's not just following in his predecessor's footsteps. Well, here we are, 4 days before the deadline.
  8. Vanimal46
    Wish I had your enthusiasm about something happening soon. I'm losing faith with every passing day of inactivity.
  9. Vanimal46
    We should all feel pretty good. After 10-ish days of RA taking over as interim, we all have as many completed transactions as he does.
  10. Vanimal46
    We're not getting any younger. It's time to shake up the current roster.
  11. Vanimal46
    After taking us all by surprise last season by keeping the Twins in contention, Tyler Duffey has certainly floundered this season. He's completed 6 or more innings in 8 of 17 starts this season, and trending in the wrong direction the last 2 starts. It could be a sophomore slump, or it could be where teams have enough data on him now to know what's coming. Can we go into 2017 penciling him in the starting rotation again? Is he better suited for the bullpen? What do you think?
  12. Vanimal46
    I would have thought Antony wants to separate himself from his predecessor TR. Judging by the inactivity since he's taken over as interim, he looks like one of the same. Ultra conservative, unwilling to act like a true seller by waiting for others to call him. I'm beyond frustrated with the decisions and planning this season. Like you Nick, I want to see Berrios, Chargois, and Polanco called up yesterday. Please bring them up so there's something we can get excited about for the final 60+ games.
  13. Vanimal46
    Duffey needs to be sent down for Berrios ASAP.
  14. Vanimal46
    Or maybe the Rangers called the Twins and Rob Antony let it go to voice mail.... EDIT: We've all screened calls, right? Perhaps Antony screened this call... *RA's phone buzzes* RA: "Hmmm, Texas zip code. I don't know anyone from Texas! They left a voice mail too?" *Deletes voice mail before listening to it*

    If this search firm works similarly to other search firms, there's 2 different types of ways they work with teams: on a contingency basis, or a retained search. Contingency search means the Twins don't owe the search firm a dime for their efforts unless they select a candidate they presented. Retained means they pay a small percentage of the total fee up front, and if they select a candidate presented by this firm, they pay the rest. I assume for a search like this, they went with the retained search.
  16. Vanimal46
    Sure, let's believe that for the next 5 days. More than likely Rob Antony's quote of not taking calls is the true answer, but miracles can happen.
  17. Vanimal46
    My bad. My blood starts to boil any time I read the name D Santana in the lineup no matter where he's playing.
  18. Vanimal46
    That's possible. I would think the more appropriate quote would be something like, "We're doing our due diligence and making calls to find out Santana's value around the league." Instead of "I'll be honest, I'm not calling anybody trying to move him." That sounds like he's following in TR's footsteps right there.
  19. Vanimal46
    Hey Buxton has a 4 game hitting streak! Certainly he's going to be in the lineup today... *reads the name D Santana in CF* http://reactiongif.org/wp-content/uploads/GIF/2014/08/GIF-bothered-disturbed-facepalm-frustrated-Louie-CK-upset-GIF.gif
  20. Vanimal46
    I thought he played bingo in the afternoon?
  21. Vanimal46
    Phil Miller's tweet embedded in the article markos just posted: Is Ervin Santana available? Rob Antony says price would be high. "I'll be honest, I'm not calling anybody trying to move him." Is reasons #1-1,000,000 why it's time to get rid of this regime once and for all.
  22. Vanimal46
    Woah woah, two trades? That's crazy talk.
  23. Vanimal46
    That makes a ton of sense. Why wait until the bitter end where Santana's trade value is zero when the Twins can get out of the last 2 years of this deal?
  24. Vanimal46
    Welcome to Twins Daily! Those all sound like fair targets to me. I'd say any one in the 5-10 range for their org prospects will work for me. That'd probably be the same type of return I'd like to see with Suzuki too if the Indians want to get in on that.
  25. Vanimal46
    our awesome RP prospects are falling off the face of the Earth.
