    What a terrific stroll down memory lane Nick, for a decade of memories. Here's to many more decades of our favorite team at Target Field giving us reason to cheer.

    Great story on Jake Odorizzi, who I hope the Twins extend to a 3-4 year deal. An outright steal for the Twins from the Rays straight up for shortstop prospect Jermaine Palacios. Best deal so far from the Falvey/Levine regime although watch out how the Fernando Rodney for Dakota Chalmers pans out.

    The Minnesota Twins have noone ready to step in and contribrute the 30+ HRs and 100 RBI Eddie Rosario would contribute, do not make this deal.

    Grrrreat stuff. Really racks for brain and provides clarity for some of the stats. MLB and its fans in recent years seem to be over-hyping and emphasizing post-season accolades (Holladay & Schilling), much the way the NFL does when determining the overall greatness of a player, rather than the accumulated career statistics.

    I wish Hildy the best, first watched him pitch in Cedar Rapids and was always a nice guy to talk to and for autographs. I hope he can get back on track with another team, or resign with the Twins and figure it out in the minors. Decent firstbaseman are a dime a dozen, I like Sano at third while exploring the 1B surplus out there on a one year deal basis until Kirilloff, Rooker, Larnach, etc. are ready.

    We were down to my first ST in 2017. I paid for the on the field batting practice with the Twins that they do before their home games. it's done through the Lee County Boys and Girls Club. About 20 of us got to be on the field for BP, Tony O, Mauer, and Sano all came over and signed for us. It cost $40 I think, but was a nice special treat and proceeds benefit the boys & girls club.

    Derek Jeter and I'll be cheering for Omar Vizquel too.

    Great story and terrific series. Excellent points and I like the idea of a new Minnesota Twins M & M combo...Marney and Morneau.
  9. nclahammer
    I'm confident that Falvey and Levine will use our payroll flexibility more wisely than on the high mileage or volitile pitchers mentioned.
  10. nclahammer
    Interesting take, I think moving Rosario has the potential to really mess with the team chemisty although it has become frequently speculated. . Lewin Diaz is now with the Miami Marlins organization, traded there in the Sergio Romo deal.
  11. nclahammer
    I like the optimism, but expecting 2 players (Kirilloff and Rooker) without MLB experience to fill even close to 50+ HRs and 190 RBI that Rosario and Cron combined for, IMO is unrealistic.
  12. nclahammer
    Very nice article, many good points. I think pitching upgrades are a must, I like the Pineda deal, but Perez will not pitch for the Twins again. We need an impact pictcher like Wheeler to push Odo and Berrios, and solitify our rotation. Luis Arraez make the Schoop resigning unnecessary.
  13. nclahammer
    I think the price is not right for Betts and Price, way to steep for a one year rental..
  14. nclahammer
    Eddie...Eddie...Eddie! I'm amazed by how many people think that the Minnesota Twins have another person in their organization ready to plug 109 RBI and 32 HRs into their line-up, and merely think someone else can step up even close to that level. They just aren't there...Wade? Cave? Rooker? Kirilloff? Larnach? None of them are the proven commodity that Rosario is offensively, or can even match him defensively for that matter, with the possible exception of Wade.

    I have a pair of tickets with a 20 game partial season ticket package and for a modest price ($14 per ticket), I feel I get an exception deal for my money. The season ticket perks like concessions discount, (even for my 20 game package), make it even a better deal. I bring my own sunflower seeds, peanuts, water bottle to refill, etc. into the ballpark (Target Field is one of the few that you can I hear) and can watch a game and not break the bank.

    Good video, comments, and overlay...thanks Tom.

    nclahammer commented on sthpstm's blog entry in Postma Posts

    For me, Gibson on a minor league deal only with invite to spring training and chance to make the MLB roster makes sense. Trading Sano and Rosario would upset the team chemistry too much, for too little return IMO. There's enough free agent starting pitching out there if the Twins are aggressive.
  18. nclahammer
    Resign Cron, Minnesota has no established/proven 3B in their system. Sano is it.
  19. nclahammer
    Priceless journalism...love love LOVE it.
  20. nclahammer
    And I think with that comment, this discussion has just "jumped the shark." You don't just simply replace 32 HRs and 109 RBI with a rookie. How many of those 31 other leftfielders accumulated those stats?
  21. nclahammer
    About time for some Eddie...Eddie...Eddie Rosario love. I hope he can work on his defense a little more next year, and continue to make strides with his offense. Not hearing a lot of love out there recently, but he was on the field more than any other of the Nothin' but Raindrops crew this season, and had a higher batting average and more RBI than any of them. The Twins need to keep #20 in that line-up.
  22. nclahammer
    You don't just simply replace 32 HRs and 109 RBI with any one of the current corner outfield prospects we have. And if all of the terrible stats mentioned about Eddie Rosario are true, what team in their right mind would give up good quality pitching for him?
  23. nclahammer
    Game #3 I felt like I was at US Bank Stadium at a Viking game. The music was so loud (okay I'm 53), I wish I would have brought ear plugs (several of the concession people were wearing them) It was a great playoff atmosphere though and for special games like that, it's something I can deal with. If every Twins game had it, I would have a problem with it.
  24. nclahammer
    I've said it before and I'll say it again, getting Dakota Chalmers in a trade deadline deal from Oakland for Fernando Rodney was an absolute steal for the Twins. The kid has a live arm and is finally healthy.
  25. nclahammer
    In hindsight, I would have liked to see the approach to the bullpen use that was used in game #3, used in games #1 and #2. More of a sense of urgency, and not saving your studs for the later innings, which it turned out, the games were already out of reach by then.
