Sending a waiver wire pick-up, from the Yankees no less, to the All-Star game has got to be a new low. Pretty sad when one of the "best" minor league systems can't produce anything better. Just sad Congrats to Nunez though, He has played very well. It's not his fault he is the best player on this team!

I just can't wait for the "tweet" explaining how sorry he is for taking so much money now that he's hurt and how he never wanted to be THAT guy. Ala, Glen Perkins! LOL I do feel sorry for both of them, it's just getting comical at this point. Remember when we had so many pitchers in spring training that there were battles to make the rotation?

I like my hall of famers to be of the Killebrew, Carew, and Puckett type. No hype, just numbers!

Because they are "me first" guys, much like Carlos Gomez was. To mention another, I'd love to have Mike Trout, but wouldn't want Bryce Harper on our team. I started my article with IMO. Sorry if I offend. Thanks for the question.

IMO, Sano will never sign a long term contract with the Twins, that was all but assured when he signed with Roc Nation last summer, or before, I can't remember. As much as I would love for him to be a cornerstone with the Twins, he will not commit to putting in the hard work necessary to be a "good" ball player and is merely buying his time before he gets a big contract. He will become Ortiz, Bautista, or something similar and I, quite frankly, hope he isn't in a Twins uniform when he does. I'll take as many Buxtons, Berrios, and Kepler type prospects and use the Rosarios, and Sano's, as trade bait for better pitching and quality defensive players. I'm also glad Arcia is gone, hope he's had enough humble pie to turn his career around someplace else but his production will never live up to his elitist attitude.

Found this article from 2012, trading Ben Revere and Denard Span for either Hicks or Maestro! Now that was entertaining. I guess were down to Maestro! http://www.startribune.com/twins-trade-ben-revere-to-the-phillies-for-two-pitchers/182391171/ Maybe not exactly "pushed out for a future star" but they were pushed out for some reason! Well done Terry! Missed it by that much!

Even better yet, I would like to start the tread that talks about who got snubbed! Anyone? LOL They should petition the MLB so the game is not degraded by putting anyone from our team on there. What a tasty treat it will be for whoever gets it even thought they won't deserve it. Goes on the resume FOREVER! Kinda like Dozier last year. All-Star? Really?

Tell the player(s) that is complaining to play better and he/she won't have to hear about it. I feel really bad for both Dick and Bert. I have the option of turning my computer off when things are going bad. They however, are obligated to watch this really poor product and have to bite their tongues almost every inning. I have not seen this fundamentally bad baseball for many years and I am a life long Twins fan. The M & M boys and their contracts killed Twins baseball and the reason I liked to watch. Bring back small ball and fundamentally sound baseball. Beating teams with passion, skill, determination, and grit is the best and only way to win in baseball. Moreover, winning like that demoralizes the other teams. I used to love the sh*t eating grin on Gardy's face when we stole bases and manufactured runs to beat the likes of the Yankees, White Sox, Tigers, etc...
