    I'd rather go with the young guys like Buxton and Kepler and experience some growing pains rather than recycle Revere. The upside is too tantalizing to ignore.

    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?

    Seems like Gardy would make a good assistant coach somewhere. His ineptitude the last few years of his Twins career must have left quite a stain on his resume. We should not take Gardy back to the Twins organization under any circumstances.

    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.

    The big flaw is the impact it has on guys like me that struggle to get to the ballpark on time when dragging along the wife and children (they just don't always move quickly). I'd be bummed to only see a high quality starter for an inning or two due to my tardiness. Seriously, I think it is possible for your plan to be implemented. Think of innovations in sports and the resistance they almost always face - it just takes one maverick to try it with success and then here come the copycats. I do think the Twins currently have a staff where this could work.

    Agreed we need a larger sample size. I do feel it is something to be aware of and monitor next season.

    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.

    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.

    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.
  10. theBOMisthebomb
    Great news, let's cross our fingers we don't get Nishioka part II. What do we really know about him? 50 HRs is a lot in any league. What does that project to at the MLB level?
  11. theBOMisthebomb
    Serious consideration should be given to benching Mauer if we cannot deal Plouffe this offseason.
  12. 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.
  13. 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...
  14. 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?
  15. theBOMisthebomb
    Perkins gets 9 points but Milone and Duffy no points? Who voted for this award, Perk's family and close personal friends.
  16. 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.
  17. theBOMisthebomb
    Sweet,I will also be there tonight but will wear the Zubaz loud and proud. We might actually need the stocking cap.
  18. theBOMisthebomb
    I trust him but not 100 percent. This middling level of trust only comes because of Perk's experience (and I shamefully admit I also place some trust in him because he is one of us). He did look good two outings ago.
  19. theBOMisthebomb
    Don't be afraid Grasshopper. The Twins will win plenty of these final 13 games to stay in the mix until the end. Have faith.
  20. theBOMisthebomb
    Time for our Santana to earn those millions tonight - Smooth.
  21. theBOMisthebomb
    A sweep is needed.
  22. theBOMisthebomb
    If we bring Torii back in 2016 as a player it will work out like Favre's second season here. Bring Torii back as a mentor/dancer/assistant coach instead.
  23. theBOMisthebomb
    Let's win 9 or 10 of these final 13 games and the rest will work itself out. Either way it's been a fun year.

    The guy is getting old and it disappoints the homer MN fan because he is "one of us". Mix in a concussion, outlandish contract, and position change and you have a toxic brew. Joe should be moved down in the order.
