    Correct. They don't have the slot money for a round 2 selection. Bonus pool money is based on the picks that a team actually has, not what they would have had before forfeiting picks.

    Yeah, it's great to see him put some things together so far this year. I've been a big fan of him since they signed him as well. Very interesting prospect. I'm not sure that he ends up playing on the team before September. It would probably take a few injuries for that to happen, but I guess it could be possible. I can't imagine that he keeps this pace up, but if continues to hit decently and keeps showing some power, I could definitely see him earning a September call up. If that is the case, he'd have his first taste of the big league at the age of 22! Not too shabby.

    So that's what happened to Tootie. I've always wondered.

    I think that he ends up in the bigs around July if he keeps this up. If he's not up by mid-July, then we probably don't see him until next April. I can't see the Twins waiting that long if he's hitting like this. Just think about what his numbers could look like if he hadn't had that slow start...

    As far as I know, most, if not all, minor league managers act as base coaches during games. I hope Michael is ok. That looked rough. I was happy that he was finally starting to get something going. Here's hoping for a speedy recovery.

    Are you suggesting that you buy gifts for your wife before her actual birthday and not that day? This is an intriguing concept.

    This made me laugh. I propose we start a committee to determine if everyone should now only refer to Scott Boras as "Scooter", because if he's going to come up with silly ideas like this, he should at least be referred to by a silly name.

    #9 could also be the best choice if urinal #10 is the urinal that is low to the ground... you know, for the kids.

    Am I to assume that this statement means that you actually own, and use an atlas?

    Legends club is pretty fun. All the seats are pretty good. The legends club itself is pretty spacious and is by far less crowded than the rest of the concourses.

    If he continues to consistently pitch 8 innings while only giving up 1 run... never?

    They always search bags over a certain size. I'm pretty sure they were searching for alcohol that fans were trying to sneak in.

    I got to the stadium around 2:30. There was definitely a long line to get into the stadium where I was. From what I could tell, this was mainly because of the sweatshirts. They were giving these away right after the security setup, which slowed everyone up getting through security. The security staff at the gate I went into was being incredibly thorough searching bags as well. It took me about 20 minutes to get through the line. They were out of sweatshirts at the gate I went to, so I got a voucher for one and was able to pick one up a little later in the game. They probably did as well as they probably could have given the situation. As far as the game goes, I thought May pitched pretty well. He definitely got burned by the defense. It's tough to say what to do exactly, but I can say for sure, some moves are going to have to be made sooner rather than later.

    Who needs that when you can just score on a wild pitch?
  15. James
    I know. We're smarter than that here. Especially in the game threads. Jimmer- I should have known that you were joking as well. I must have had a "Strib posting moment" where my brains didn't work so good.
  16. James
    That was supposed to be a joke. I will never complain about a Twins player taking a walk.

    Mauer takes the old base on balls. All Twins fans are shocked.
  18. James
    And Milone with a strikeout!

    What the heck, I'll take Brett Lee.

    Completely agree. Give them a little bit of time to get back in the game. Remember, yesterday was the first complete AA game the Buxton has played, and he struck out 3 times. Don't worry, they'll both be up soon enough. They are probably going to have to play more than one AA this season before they are ready though.

    To quote Major League: "Who gives a s#@t? Its gone."

    I believe in Zaino! Let's hope that phrase catches on.

    I think I got what is going around down there too. I had some flu like symptoms when I got home about a week ago. Something is definitely in the air down there.

    I just got back from Florida on Monday, and this makes me want to go back.

    The academy is pretty great. It's a great idea. It's obviously going to be a big deal for those guys that are playing for the Miracle, GC Twins, and those guys that start in extended spring training. The TJ question is not something anyone can really answer. I don't think anyone has nailed down one root cause as to why players end up needed it, and it's really tough to build a exercise/stretching program to prevent it. If you could figure out how to do that and prevent even 50% of the current amount of TJ surgeries, I'm sure there are several MLB teams that would probably give you a very lucrative position in the organization to help them develop that training program.
