  1. If the Twins miss out on Dylan Bundy, What about possibly shoehorning on to the roster... AL BUNDY !!
  2. Twins can offer exensions to Buxton until they are blue in the face. It remains up to Buxton and his agent whether ANY of those extension offers are even considered, yet alone signed. In the end, being a part of a successful, winning, contending, big market, high profile organizations will win out over whatever the Twins offer. The Twins' organization needs to face up to the inevitable and plan on an existence WITHOUT Buxton. Time to figure out NOW whether to trade him, trade him for what, or issue him a QA and take the draft pick when the QA is declined. So then, who is in CF??
  3. Wait...... Look what else is coming.... OF = Larry, Moe & Curly OF Reserve = Shemp Catchers = Williams & Ree Starters = Abbott & Costello Starters = Burns & Allen Starters = Stiller & Meara Relievers = Laurel & Hardy Relievers = Cheech & Chong Relievers = Hudson & Landry Relievers = Homer & Jethro Infield = Chico, Harpo, Groucho & Zeppo IF Reserves = Penn & Teller Forget about seeing quality Major League baseball at Target Field in 2022 But, you will be ROTFL at what takes place on the field !!
  4. So Detroit has become the Tig-wins ?? Wilson Ramos Niko Goodrum Jonathan Schoop Akil Baddoo Robbie Grossman
  5. Byron, T-Bone Steaks are called that because they DO HAVE BONES IN THEM.
  6. No further discussion of flipping Kepler to LF? Irrespective of arm strength and range, Seems like some consideration should be given to the defensive advantage of outfielders having their glove hand along the foul line.
  7. EASY. Be on the lookout for a team in need of a left hand hitting 4th outfielder who can play CF that has a right hand hitting 4th outfielder who can play CF. Make a deal.
  8. 28 man roster Increase the 40 man roster to 45 Universal DH in All MLB Same existing playoff structure
  9. Thanks all for the education on obtaining a visa to the USA. Somebody in the EMPLOYERS office needs to become aware Of how the application when submitted with some extra financial lubrication Can be made to swiftly slide through the approval process.
  10. Crack the whip. Get the Feds involved. Player gets in to the USA on an expedited basis or No cushy job for the US consul. No foreign aid for that country.....
  11. Are these "Visa issues" in pro sports more about the maturity and accountability of the players? It's not like the actual dates of Spring Training were just established and finalized. It's not like the fact that a Visa is required to enter the USA was just invented out of thin air. The players have a signed contract to perform their jobs and getting in to the USA is a part of that contract. If nothing else, the player's agent should be "babysitting" the players to ensure that all necessary paperwork to secure a Visa has been submitted and processed in a timely manner that allows the player to report to Spring Training when it is to begin. In fact, a player who is joining a new team should have extra desire to arrive at Spring Training EARLY to: forge a comradery with their new teammates, establish relationships with a new coaching staff, and to get situated and familiar with a new Spring Training site. This continual, annual "Visa Issue" situation speaks to the lack of a player's maturity, motivation, desire and commitment. Each and every time this delay takes place should give organizations pause out of concern for the player's motivation..
  12. Unfortunately, pro sports has moved far down the road of becoming just businesses. As stated by that underappreciated observer of society, Fred Flintstone, " You're in the business army now, your only friend is a buck and the more bucks you've got, the more friends you've got. This applies to both sides of the pro sports equation.
  13. Twins could save a small fortune on footwear repairs if they were to have their own..... SHOEMAKER !!
  14. GREAT STORY !! Oh, what might have been....
  15. In addition to being corner outfield insurance, also DH insurance.
  16. If they hadn't signed him, The Twins Off season Free Agency efforts, Coukd have been referred to as being........ HAPP Less !!
  17. Trades are exciting, interesting and worthy of lots of conversation. Signing an over-the-hill, 38 year old starter for 8 Million, not so much.
  18. If you were an accomplished and desirable free agent would you want to play outdoors in Minnesota in April or October? Or for that matter, May or September? Too bad they didn't think to build a ............... RETRACTABLE ROOF STADIUM !!
  19. The interest in Duvall is all about connections. Amazing talent in Adam's Family. Fester's pitching is electric. Gomez' bat is explosive. Pugsley is working hard at training.
  20. Of course Cruz is not a must signing. That David Ortiz dump and replacement by Matt LeCroy turned out well, DIDN'T IT ??
  21. I do remember how saving a few bucks by dropping David Ortiz and replacing him with Matt LeCroy worked out.....
  22. Interestingly, the Chicago White Sox will be the only MLB team in 2021 that when the Manager goes to the mound to make a pitching change, It will be the Manager that uses a powered cart, instead of the Relief Pitcher that is entering the game !!
  23. Robbie Ray is off the market. Time to make another choice. Who is that/where does that Robnak guy in the rotation come from?
  24. Goodbye = Romo, Avila, Gonzalez, Hill, Come on Back = Clippard, Cruz If Price is Right = Adrianza, May, Odorizzi
  25. Hang this loss on: MANAGER BENCH COACH PITCHING COACH BULLPEN COACH Wrong guy (Mejia) at the wrong time. Got stale waiting to be used. What's Vasquez doing? Knitting a sweater?
