I don’t think the poster was suggesting that Sano should or will play in that many games ... was just pointing out that he’s hitting homeruns and the ratio to games played is pretty good. If he keeps it up.- 148 replies

Oh yay! Glad I heard wrong! We need these two back in the lineup.

Someone said in another thread that he had heard they were going to give him a rehab assignment and that we may not see him before the ASB. But that is from an old woman’s recollection ... anyone else recall this? I hate losing to the White Sox. Just hate it. But the Sox aren’t the Orioles, so season sweeping them was never going to be a reality. Still, I hope we take the next two. And the errors ... ugh, please stop, Twins. I might be inclined to give Adrianza a tiny, little bit of leeway his first game back for one error, but not two. Get it together, Twins.

Anyone going to the games in Chicago? Sadly, I’m out of town... maybe next time.

I wonder if he needs glasses. But that is so simplistic, I’m sure that’s already been examined. It’s like he knows what to swing at and not, but just isn’t connecting and hitting. I mean he’s not just swinging at everything, so what is it? As soon as Gonzalez and/or Adrianza are ready, I think it’s time to send Miguel to Rochester.

I just think that people who vote will go down the list and see ‘Minnesota Twins’ and vote for someone else. It’s not about deserving. And yes, I’m that cynical.
-
Best chance? I’ll say ‘none of the above.’ None of them will win the final vote.

Thanks. Down here now. Might have to check it out!

What field do the GCL Twins play on?
-
Right. I don’t see him as a potential trade target, more like a pipe dream trade target. He’d be nice to get, but I don’t think it’s an attainable or realistic target.
-
He could also be trying to try and bolster his team after a tough loss because we have another one to play today.

I'm not gonna get down on Garver at all for this game. Not one iota. 17 innings behind the plate, and our pitchers did what? Garver deserves praise, even if he did get picked off third.

I was going to quote you with a link ... but decided to keep it in the game thread

These two games against the BoSox ... playoff baseball ... that's what that was.

Yep, force the other team to make a perfect play. There might be specific teams and/or fielders or situations you don’t test, but in general, go for it.

Did he rip his pants on that? Or did that happen earlier in the game and I just didn’t notice? Or maybe it just looks like he did?

Moderator note: Even though I was complicit, I'm going to remind everyone to stick to topic. Please, let's not revisit the Verlander trade in depth. We've been there, done that, this thread isn't about Verlander, so let's leave it. It's done and over, other than to mention we should be going after that now, and not the shoulda, woulda, coulda disagreements of the past. Also, this is not a thread to discuss what Terry Ryan wouldn't have done. Been there, done that, it's in the past and has no bearing on the current topic.

You are about to be slapped. Now go in the corner and spit.

And I would have made that trade. That is not a huge give for an ace, imo. But let's not revisit the Verlander trade any longer. It's done and over, and we would still be playing the if game. I was just pointing out to 9/12 that we wouldn't have traded the pieces on our team that are doing well today as they were already major league players and no longer prospects at that time, so we wouldn't be playing without them if we had made a trade for Verlander.
-
There's no baloney anywhere here. Again, you don't like my answer because it doesn't meet up with yours. Now, stop it.

Or Lewis, Graterol and/or Gordon. A rebuilding team like Detroit would have been looking for prospects, not MLB ready players. The Tigers received 3 prospects, Franklin Perez, Daz Cameron and Jake Rogers ... none who have even seen any major league service yet. And I'm not even sure where those prospects ranked in the Astros system, but it would not have taken either Polanco or Kepler who were NOT prospects at the time of the trade. And I'm not sure Verlander wanted to come here ... he had a better chance of winning with Houston and I think he wanted that. I don't think Minnesota was in on the equation for him. However, as Brock said above, we absolutely need to be having these conversations, and I get it, timing is everything, and we could play the 'if' game all day. Still ... we need to better our team and we will need to spend prospects to do it.

But trading for him then means he's part of the rotation today. Wow! Would you look at that rotation with Verlander in it?
