    I'm listening to the Sports Huddle with Sid and Dave for the first time in years. Man Sid has slowed down dramatically, but good for him to still be able to do what he's doing. I just hope to make it to 90+ years old...

    Polanco has to be on the MLB club next year as he's out of options. There doesn't appear to be any plan or path for him to get playing time the way this current roster looks. That being said, I agree with Levi, and hope Dozier is traded this season. Feels like he's too flawed at the plate to be counted on for the future. Dozier has made minor adjustments this month to improve his numbers, but he's still a pull-happy hitter who has problems with the outside pitch.

    Excellent intro Blake! You painted a perfect picture of Player 1 and Player 2. I've always wondered if Player 2 wears a helmet everywhere he goes, and now it's confirmed that he does!

    IALTO coming.... Always!

    One positive: TR did not mention Plouffe, Dozier, Suzuki, etc. in the article as being part of the solution for the future. If having the worst record in baseball isn't time to blow things up, I don't know if there's ever a time to do so in his mind. I would love to know what they see in D Santana that gets his name included in the list of names being part of the solution. All I see is one of the worst offensive players in baseball over the last 2 seasons.

    Example #1847575 this season why Jepsen should not pitch in high leverage situations.

    Park!!

    Good lord. Get the hell out of the way Dozier.

    10 days I believe. So June 26th.

    Mauer has my vote for the All Star game. Here's hoping he extends the on base streak to 29 games.

    *yawn* Switching one soft tossing lefty with the other. Can't wait until this organization gives us something to be excited about again.

    Congratulations! You, young Dinger, have joined an elite group of individuals who make Twins Daily great! As a result of this milestone, Brock will be waiting at the TD headquarters, and present a cake upon your arrival. Enjoy!

    You only get one chance for your 1,000th post. Make it count!

    Tigers also just lost JD Martinez to a significant injury. White Sox have been aggressively making moves all season long. Possibly other contending teams in the AL that wouldn't mind a LH bat off the bench.

    Unfortunately this upcoming FA pitching class is pitiful. Maybe the worst in years. So immediate help from FA in 2017 won't do the trick.

    I don't really understand the irrational love for D Santana in this organization. As others have mentioned, defensive flexibility and speed, D Santana's only positive traits, are found every day on the waiver wire... Hated Arcia's bone headed plays in the OF, but still loved the potential. This team is not that talented where they can afford to give away someone with 20+ HR potential like this. His talents were utilized very poorly on the Twins. It may take another year or 2 a la Valencia, but some team is going to utilize Arcia the right way and reap the benefits.
  17. Vanimal46
    JD Martinez just went down for the Tigers. Does Arcia find a home in the division?
  18. Vanimal46
    Mind.boggling.
  19. Vanimal46
    Doesn't make much sense to me. I can only hope that means Kepler is up FT and D Santana takes over the bench spot.
  20. Vanimal46
    I would prefer to make a trade for a top of the rotation arm. Who that could be and what the Twins would have to give up, I don't know. I don't think this current crop of pitchers are THIS bad going into 2017, but I also can't see a significant step forward until the staff is revamped. Just looking at the numbers, only the Reds have a worse ERA, no team is below the Twins in quality starts, and no team has blown more leads late in games. We all love our prospects here, but giving up some in order to right the ship IMO is worth it.

    I would think a great stand up guy does his team a favor if he can no longer do what he's paid to do.
  22. Vanimal46
    Will Perkins do what Gil Meche did all those years ago? Meche considered it unfair for the Royals to pay his $12 million salary knowing he was going to be out for the year and walked away from that money. Now THAT would be a stand up move...

    It's amazing how common this injury is becoming. I've had 2 surgeries for a torn labrum in my hip from playing hockey. First time in 2007, second in 2009. It took going to countless doctors and specialists over the course of 8 months to identify the issue 9 years ago. That was daily, constant pain - Couldn't walk normally, had to sleep with the leg elevated, and I'll always remember my stomach getting abused from taking Aleve on a daily basis. These days though, I thought they were able to identify this sort of injury much faster. Perhaps it's possible Perkins knew about this months ago and wanted to see if he can pitch through it? Either way this is an injury that will not repair itself without a surgical procedure.

    If you do change jobs to Nike, and they give you some sort of deal on shoes, I would like to work out a deal with you Mike.

    Biking to work is possible, though I wouldn't feel very safe doing so. On my route to work there are no dedicated bike lanes and a stretch of highway that I'd prefer not to ride on... Also, with it being 95+ degrees, I'm sure my co-workers appreciate me not coming in drenched in sweat
