  1. Since we won't buy, can we still sell 'high' on Hughes?
  2. Yeah. The way he plays is what makes him great, but he also seems like a guy who will have trouble staying on the field because of it. I would certainly consider trading him if the price was right. If you could get say Lucroy and Segura for Buxton and Santana/Polanco do you do it? I'm not sure. But I wouldn't reject the idea out of hand.
  3. If they take Nolasco, I would do it. Then you can either flip Shields in the off-season, or potentially Hughes or Santana for a C or SS.
  4. Perk goes through a stretch like this every year. Hopefully this is the end of it. This loss is still on Duensing/the manager/the general manager.
  5. Just announce there's 'no fit' right now TR and put us out of our misery.
  6. I'm as annoyed with Sazuki as anyone, but you have to admit his BABIP luck this year is awful.
  7. Hicks does make trading Arcia more of a valid idea.
  8. Mike Pelfrey now has a 6.80 ERA in his last 8 starts. I look forward to him making 12 more!
  9. Get him the F out of there. (And here)
  10. And here's the Pelfrey implosion. Exhibit 35667 why he should be in the BP.
  11. Pelf serving up BP and getting away with it. Way to increase the trade value!
  12. What if Twins stand pat? It's always been better than 50/50 that they will. And it will forever be as long as TR is the GM. He has his strengths. Fortifying a team for the post-season isn't one of them. Come Friday at 3:00 will hear about how exhaustively they worked the phones, but there just wasn't the right 'fit.' Maybe they'll call up Arcia as a consolation prize?
  13. If the later of those two were enough I'd do it in a heartbeat. Including Berrios gives me pause. He's the only thing we have resembling a true ace in the near-term. It's hard to win a World Series with Kyle Gibson or Phil Hughes as your best pitcher.
  14. Pelfrey now as a 4.00 ERA. Can we get over the idea that he has to stay in this rotation? I really hope he and May swap after the AS Break.
  15. Yeah, leaving Pelfrey in...not a great idea.
  16. This team needs less Suzuki and Hunter and more Arcia and Fryer/anyone else.
  17. Somewhere Gardy is going 'damn, why didn't I think of that, when I was betting Mike Redmond 3rd?'
  18. Great outing by Gibby. Cross him off the 'which starter gets demoted' list. (J/K I know he was never on it.)
  19. This post has exceeded the maximum # of cliches allowed.
  20. We're still two weeks out. Why worry about it yet? The Minnesota sports gods will provide as soon as they're done torturing Gopher Basketball and stalking Teddy Bridgewater.
  21. Mauer hitting 3rd is not a major problem at the moment. They are currently trotting out a line-up with at least 3 black holes (Suki, Santana and DH) and Hicks should still be nowhere near the top 5. So realistically, you can't drop him any lower than 5th anyway, and that's not better. If Mauer is still hitting 3rd when Sano, Vargas and Buxton are on the team, that's a whole other thing. I don't think they'll be that stubborn. It's far more important to fill at least one of the black holes, and at least partially cover a 2nd by getting Pinto up here and letting him catch a couple times a week.
  22. Hey, it's Spring the time for eternal optimism, a new manager, etc. But this certainly takes the wind out of the sails. I want to believe that Pelfrey will be not awful and the net effect of this is only a couple wins. But it still sucks. I was already having visions of the bullpen costing us about a win a week. It's pretty hard to be optimistic at this point.
  23. +1, A couple days ago it sounded like Malone was the front-runner? Personally, I'd give Malone a shot with a very short leash to May and Meyer.
