    Joey Gallo? Played more like Jerry Gallo.

    December 10, 1969: Graig Nettles traded by the Minnesota Twins with Dean Chance, Bob Miller and Ted Uhlaender to the Cleveland Guardians for Luis Tiant and Stan Williams. If Rich Reese would not have had his miracle 1969 year hitting .322, would the Twins have made this terrible trade?

    Just another fan enjoying the Twins off-season.

    You have to really be able to get after it if you want to win it all. 😀
  5. AceWrigley
    The best range is good positioning.

    Fundy looked pretty comfortable in a Twins uniform. I kind of kept waiting for him to get lit up at some point but he just kept mowing them down. Looking forward to him having a successful 2024.

    Twins games on Prime would be awesome.

    I've got nothing but respect for a hard working man.

    Wow, $70 mil a year, makes Aaron Judge look cheap.

    Ohtani Shmotani. Now for some real news. The Rays acquire Jake Mangum as the player to be named later from an earlier trade. Whoah, didn't see THAT coming.
  11. AceWrigley
    Ditto.
  12. AceWrigley
    Actually, this Ohtani secret free agency trip is a drag. Could have been a lot of fun for baseball fans.

    Giants upping the ante.
  14. AceWrigley
    I was thinking the Giants were going to sign him. He would own SF, but then again, SF has become a pile of poo, literally.
  15. AceWrigley
    Nope.

    Maybe this could usher in a new era of baseball listening. Living in Red Sox Nation I had the pleasure of listening to Remy and Orsillo for years. Between the baseball and the funny banter, it was the best show on anywhere. RIP Remdawg.

    21 years just might be enough for Dazzle at this point.
  18. AceWrigley
    Is that because you'd like to stick one in his mouth?
  19. AceWrigley
    Whew, that's a load off.
  20. AceWrigley
    I wonder if Walker Jenkins will be invited to camp.
  21. AceWrigley
    Can anyone truly compete with USAFChief? 😀
  22. AceWrigley
    i meant stats closer to the mean, something less than 150 OPS+.

    Pedro Ramos wasn't a bad pitcher even though his 20 losses in '61 was the 4th straight year leading the league in losses. The Cuban Cowboy generally gave up a lot of hits (kind of like a right-handed version of Jim Kaat) with more than a few leaving the park (some called him the Cuban Gopher Baller) and the Twins sent him to Cleveland for Vic Power and Dick Stigman. Pedro served up the pitch that Mickey Mantle hit to the moon in '56, and later pitched in relief for the Yankees, helping them overcome the White Sox and Orioles in a very tight race to secure the pennant in '64. He was acquired by the yankees in early September and pitched in 13 games, getting 8 saves while striking out 21 in 22 innings and walking no one. I guess he was quite fast afoot and was used as a pinch runner many times. He also hit 15 homers in his career. I think the trade to Cleveland was more about acquiring Power then getting rid of Ramos. The Twins had an up-coming star named Tony Oliva and Power as a fellow Cuban helped Tony in his adjustment to being in America and the major leagues.

    I think Royce Lewis pretty much blew us away in 2023. His stats will probably be more "normalized" next year, but what a great player to watch and root for. Stay healthy man!
  25. AceWrigley
    No Pedro Ramos to kick around and solidified the infield play adding Vic Power, Bernie Allen and Rich Rollins to team with Zoilo.
