    Sign the guy just for the cool name if nothing else. He does seem like an upgrade so why hesitate if he wants three years instead of one year. This franchise can afford it and really owes it to the fans to take calculated risks. We have a shot in 2016.

    He is not a winner and is not known for his clutch hitting in pressure situations. His playoff stats are abysmal, to be kind. The big question is was he dominant enough when he was catching to get the votes for HOF? It should be fun to see how his career ends and how the HOF values his career. Good January talking points for years to come.

    This year for the Twins reminds me of when Denny Green stated the Vikes had no weaknesses in the roster and everyone scoffed. They then went 15-1 and... well Gary Anderson... let's hope these Twins have the same type of regular season but a better playoff run.
  4. theBOMisthebomb
    Bench Mauer - it will improve the club overall and open the door for a young guy to prove his worth.
  5. theBOMisthebomb
    No, Bonds should not make it and should not be on the ballot. He is a fraud and what he did to the game of baseball is unforgivable.
  6. theBOMisthebomb
    The only thing I'd add would be the dance parties and the changing of the clubhouse culture away from the dreary end of the Gardenhire era.
  7. theBOMisthebomb
    With the swings from year to year on established players it makes me question the reliability of the defensive metrics.
  8. theBOMisthebomb
    We need to address the closer issue. Perk has broken down in the second half the last few years and really cost us in last year's WC chase.

    Good memories. Do you feel this group over achieved or under achieved? My heart says over but my brain says under with ony one playoff series victory. The group I grew up with was the 1987 and 1991 teams and I heard the legends of Killebrew, Carew, etc. as history. Hard to believe another round of Twins history is cycling through. The future is bright again with Sano, Buxton, Kepler, etc. That's why I am a fan for life.
  10. theBOMisthebomb
    Sign him. We might have a chance to make some noise in the playoffs for the first time in a decade plus. What is there to wait for? 1991 was a long time ago...
  11. theBOMisthebomb
    Agreed. Seems like part of the (implied) deal that came with Target Field was that the Twins would be more aggressive in the free agent market. While the Twins have made some more aggressive free agent deals since playing at Target Field (with varying and mostly disappointing results) I also have no clue why fans would worry over spending too much money. This franchise has under spent its entire existence. How about we overspend for a few years (wisely) and reap those benefits.
  12. theBOMisthebomb
    Bastardo's stuff is dirty so we should sign that dirty Bastardo.
  13. theBOMisthebomb
    Bench Mauer if he is the worst option between Park, Sano, Plouffe, and Mauer. Why are we obligated to play old Joe because of his salary?
  14. theBOMisthebomb
    I am thankful for the baseball scene in the Twin Cities. The Twins had a surprisingly successful 2015 which we were privileged to enjoy in one of the best ballparks in MLB.The Saints opened a beautiful new ballpark in 2015 where we could enjoy their wacky version of entertainment/baseball in comfort and style. Here's to the Twins making the playoffs in 2016 and providing another entertaining year of baseball.
  15. theBOMisthebomb
    Agreed we need a larger sample size. I do feel it is something to be aware of and monitor next season.
  16. theBOMisthebomb
    Math: Murphy had a grand total of 284 PAs in the majors. According to this 8.7% of the pitches thrown to him were curves. So, this argument is made based on a grand total of 25 pitches? Being an auditor at trade I am scratching my head at the math. Did he only face one pitch in each of his 284 PAs? 284X1= 284X.087= 25 pitches. Was the one and only pitch he faced in each of 284 PAs only ever a curveball? Unless I am missing something here Murphy has faced more than 25 curveballs, maybe somewhere in the 50-75 range. Still, it is a major red flag that he has 0 of them solidly and definitely something to watch. Great research, Parker.
  17. theBOMisthebomb
    Pinto seema to be the mystery here. Once the Twins are able to cut Zook loose after 2016 does a Murphy starter/Pinot backup tandem at catcher surface as a possibility? It sure has a ton of upside. As far as Mauer, it would be great if they reduced his role in 2016 as you suggest but they are handcuffed by the big salary and loyalty. Molly and TR won't have the stomach to bench him before 2017 at least so let's hope old Joe has that resurrection. Play Buxton and Kepler in the outfield in 2016 as much as possible as early in the season as makes sense.
  18. theBOMisthebomb
    Feels a bit like a Kevin McHale deal. The guy has one big game against us so we overpay and ignore the rest of his body of work. Good point is we did get a catcher who (hopefully) turns into the long-term solution.
  19. theBOMisthebomb
    Serious consideration should be given to benching Mauer if we cannot deal Plouffe this offseason.
  20. theBOMisthebomb
    Maybe AJ for the fun aspect he would bring now that Torii is gone. Also,agreed that AJ would be a good platoon with Zook. The rest 100 percent no way Jose.
  21. theBOMisthebomb
    I remember Gibson screaming F-bombs directly into the camera in the dugout and it not being censured. Didn't the player's wives bring whistles to Detroit and make a ruckus in the stands? Great memories, nothing will top the '87 and '91 championship runs. Maybe if the Vikings ever win the Super Bowl...
  22. theBOMisthebomb
    Nice to see Sano's season in context. He made such a splash that it was frustrating and felt like he was struggling when not hitting a homerun per game. Would you give more stats on Buxton? Buck obviously has the upside but needs to produce on the field. Does the surprising +.500 record this year hurt Buck's chances to start 2016 in Minnesota since we are now expecting to contend?
  23. theBOMisthebomb
    Perkins gets 9 points but Milone and Duffy no points? Who voted for this award, Perk's family and close personal friends.
  24. theBOMisthebomb
    I agree that the second to last homestand was a disaster - I had the misfortune of being at the blown six run lead against the Angels. Overall, it stings a bit they didn't make the playoffs but the hope for great things (like WS rings) in the future is there. I'd like to see a move at catcher and for them to address the Mauer situation.
  25. theBOMisthebomb
    Sweet,I will also be there tonight but will wear the Zubaz loud and proud. We might actually need the stocking cap.
