Jones is quietly having a great season, with 16 strikouts per 9, and holding hitters to a .188 average while allowing just one run.

Buxton has been on a tear lately raising his slash line to .286/.353/.527. This past week he hit a walk-off home run.

This just gave me an idea, why don't we make cars that you have to take a breathalyzer before entering the drivers seat of a vehicle? It might not work, but we could give it a try.

Yeah, and his defense is awful as usual, but I never heard anything about Beresford's defense.

What about Nikorak? Any news on him?

I think that date has passed.

Oh, I forgot to mention that Reynaldo Rodriguez has been the Redwings second best hitter this year.

This was just an idea that I thought that I would put forward. I am not saying that I agree with or promote all of these ideas. I have been thinking that if the Twins want Jonathan Lucroy they will need to trade Major League proven talent, but how do they do that and hang on to prospects when they don’t have much to offer? Today I will look at a way that they could do that. First, the Twins need to trade to the Brewers weaknesses, and one of the Brewers main needs is a third baseman since Aramis Ramirez is retiring after the season is over. The Twins have Trevor Plouffe, who alone could be half the package that the Brewers are looking for, and they also have Miguel Sano, but I believe that Plouffe would be more what the Brewers would be looking for, and he has been on their radar for awhile; according to rumors, but they don’t have much in their farm system to offer, so the Twins and Brewers could make a trade involving Plouffe and Lucroy, but there would need to be more pieces. If the Brewers decide to make Lucroy available they will likely have decided to rebuild, so they will ask for some young players too, and areas they are thing in for young players are the outfield and pitching, and they will also want some catching in return. As I said earlier they will likely want players that are close to the big leagues, and the Twins can trade to those weaknesses. So here is my proposal. The Twins will send Trevor Plouffe, Kurt Suzuki (short term replacement), Josmil Pinto (long term replacement), Aaron Hicks (still only 25 years old), and Trevor May to the Milwaukee Brewers for Jonathan Lucroy, and here is where it gets interesting, we would also get Ryan Braun and take his massive contract of their hands. The Twins could then call up Miguel Sano, Byron Buxton, Jose Berrios, and Alex Meyer while cutting Ricky Nolasco. Ryan Braun would immediately take over in left, and Torii Hunter and Oswaldo Arcia would platoon in right until the season is over and Hunter retires. This would be a win now and win in the future move for the Twins and this would also be a good rebuild move for the Brewers since they receive some young players that are ready, and they could unload their main contract, but both teams would have to have a lot of guts to make this trade.

The main reason that they did this was is because of the rewarding that teams are into, but how about rewarding Beresford for sticking around for so long? He should get a shot at the big leagues, and he is hitting .359, even Jose Martinez has preformed better than Bernier, but I guess I can just hope that Doug will be a fine 25th man.

He will probably have some fine seasons with Toronto.

Trevor May has thrown a lot of pitches.

Speaking of ChiTown, has anybody seen what she did to my profile?

What language was that first line in? As for Ash being taken with you, that won't happen, he will be allowed to remain because he always persevered. Another thing is that I wouldn't say that a caning would be fun, but I did notice that four strokes were given to a visitor, I hope you were trying to be a prophetess with that one Great job, Bubbles! Your friend, Crocodile Dundee

French Bulldog? I hear those are a good luck charm for pitchers. That is why I want one.

Why would the Brewers want three catchers? And if they do my guess is that Pinto would be one of them. I like Lucroy, and have viewed him as a trade target since 2012, but with him being on the DL we can't trade for him, and apparently they are not willing to trade him: http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/05/05/the-brewers-may-deal-but-they-arent-going-to-deal-jonathan-lucroy/ Also, I don't think that he would be amused at the trade, he HATES Target Field, and that kind of attitude would not be good, but that might have been just a bunch of hot air.

With Hunter, Schafer, and Robinson getting hot the Twins will have some hard decisions to make if he hits the ground running like Santana and Vargas did.

They could have Dan Gladden night and give away Webster Dictionaries to the first 10,000.

It worked for me.

Sweep the A's night.

I think it would be nice if we had two.

Dan Gladden is most likely celebrating, he hates the idea.
