    Lavelle's tweets and articles never really interest me but I really enjoy him on the radio where he seems to be more candid
  2. Everyday Eddy
    The "keep Dozier" crowd seems to me to be taking a very shortsighted look at the whole situation. The twins need to be thinking 3 to 4 years ahead when there is a chance for our pitching and offense to match up. There is no way we are turning the pitching staff around in 1 year, so we may have a very good Dozier again next year but we will still be terrible. Or else Dozier struggles and we blew a huge opportunity. Why risk it?
  3. Everyday Eddy
    Absolute no brainer to trade Dozier now. He's a legitimate star and will bring back a nice haul. We can have Dozier and continue to be bad or we can use Dozier to jumpstart the next era of good Twins baseball. We do not need a star 2nd baseman when we are 3 to 4 starting pitchers and multiple position players away from competence. We are looking at another rebuild of at least 3 years before we are contenders. I am confident a good GM will acknowledge this
  4. Everyday Eddy
    Keep Molitor around and compete for the 1st overall pick. Then let the new leadership start from scratch. Molitor can't be here next year though. This team makes far too many mistakes that I would be upset at a little leaguer for making
  5. Everyday Eddy
    Well not sure what you were listening to because it was Plouffe that got hit in the face and it was an impossible hop
  6. Everyday Eddy
    If there's controllable, high upside pitching that can be had for Dozier it should be done. We have enough offense to overcome his loss.
  7. Everyday Eddy
    Odds are Thome probably tried a steroid or two back in the 90's too just like everyone else from that era
  8. Everyday Eddy
    I don't think he'll sign with us either. I do think the casual fan would be more likely to go watch the Twins with him on the team in September. I also don't believe he's as despised as you say. His 700th homerun will/would get him an ovation wherever he is
  9. Everyday Eddy
    I would try if I were the Twins. Not a whole lot of positives from a baseball standpoint except maybe Sano gets to pick his brain a little bit. Consider though that Target field will be empty in September as the club now stands. Arod chasing 700 would probably fill the place. So business wise it's a yes. Baseball wise it's a no.
  10. Everyday Eddy
    Have him work to improve his defense (he's not that old, it can be done) and suddenly he's a pretty good player to have on the roster
  11. Everyday Eddy
    There aren't other options, which is the issue and his point I believe
  12. Everyday Eddy
    Classic Twins. Wait until it's convenient to bring a guy up rather than do it when it's the right time
  13. Everyday Eddy
    IF he is qualified, does he have the guts(for lack of a better term) to break up the country club atmosphere that is perceived by the public? This is the real issue this organization faces. Fans know an outside hire won't be afraid to shake things up, which is why the outsider is so appealing.
  14. Everyday Eddy
    Twins and Wild have brutal broadcasts on FSN. Doesn't surprise me
  15. Everyday Eddy
    One thing I've learned over the last 20 years... Never trust a GM with two first names
  16. Everyday Eddy
    If strictly identifying ML breaking balls is the issue then fine he should be in the majors, but many (and i assume the Twins) believe there are fundamental flaws in his swing that need refining and the best way to do that is with low pressure and lots of reps.
  17. Everyday Eddy
    Having been good at a sport doesn't make one a good coach at said sport. Not saying he couldn't be a great coach, but having been good at a sport is not a good predictor of being a successful coach/manager
  18. Everyday Eddy
    For a fan base that wants to start seeing things done right, there sure are a lot of people that want to keep doing things wrong with this kid. He was pushed way way way too fast by a desperate FO and set up to fail. Now he needs to be given time take a step back and reset and be given time to develop at the proper pace. He could be in the minors for 2 or 3 more years before he figures it out. Being hot for a few months at AAA does not mean you're ready for the majors. Hopefully whatever GM is brought in handles the situation well

    I'm aware Latin countries are generally more religious than the U.S. I'm still going to assume faith night is catered more to the white christian though.
  20. Everyday Eddy
    Agreed, the culture of the Twins has a really weird almost southern conservative type vibe coming from it. I mean they're having faith night and I highly doubt a latin player will speak at it. Has to make them a little uncomfortable
  21. Everyday Eddy
    Honest question here... Could a good arm strengthening plan turn one into a competent SS in one offseason? I mean like a hardcore, one focus, offseason where the main goal is to get the arm to be able make all throws from short. Polanco can't be that far off i assume
  22. Everyday Eddy
    The Yankees flip prospects for stars and pay for other stars, so you can almost guarantee they'll be back on top pretty quick.
  23. Everyday Eddy
    How about ...Sometimes all
  24. Everyday Eddy
    I like all of these deals. Mejia is a steal for what we sent out. Light is a fine lottery ticket for Abad. A change of scenery was needed for Meyer and good riddance to Nolasco. Santiago has stuff that is clearly tougher to hit than the numbers would suggest and sometimes advanced stats people need to realize that what actually happens on the field is all that counts. Hopefully he pitches well for us and next year we can roll with Berrios, Santana(if not dealt), Gibson, Mejia, and Santiago.
  25. Everyday Eddy
    I'm not blaming Perkins for being hurt. Just imagining what he could've fetched if he was pitching well
