    I think the union rejected the mediator offer because the owners didn't even counter the union's latest proposal, they went directly to "lets get a mediator". Federal mediation in this case is non-binding and really has had little effect in previous MLB negotiations. The owners want total control and I think that means a disrupted regular season and most probably significantly.

    Chris Colabello.

    1972, one year in, and one year out: Wayne Granger and Dave LaRoche. Pretty good bullpen arms acquired for Tom Hall and Leo Cardenas and turned into Larry Hisle and Joe Decker. We hardly knew ya.

    He probably meant spring cleaning, which we'll be doing while wishing for spring training.

    Most indubitably. Though 2022 is his age 31 season I think he has more than just a few good innings ahead of him behind the plate and provides excellent but streaky offense for a catcher. A 3-year deal with a 4th year option would be good for both sides.

    Francisco Liriano had a physique that made you think workhorse pitcher. The torque on his elbow from throwing that devastating slider was just too much. Wonder what his career might have looked like if they had converted him to closer early in his career. But then, we had Joe Nathan and a slew of good bullpen arms so who would do that.

    I think 22' Canterino is rather like 21' Ober; missing innings but having the stuff and ability to pitch. I was impressed with the Twins front office in trusting Ober. I'm anticipating the same with Canterino.

    Maybe they thumb wrestled in the womb with opposite arms . . . or something. Very nice article. Wouldn't they be a nice 1-2 punch to have in your bullpen.

    I've never been a Manfred fan. I guess locking out the players wasn't enough; have to start locking out the reporters too. I'd call Manfred a pinhead but we don't want to get personal about it.

    Not to be "Curt" about this, but he wasn't prime rib, he was "Chuck". ?

    Nice catch by Joe Carter . . . cough.

    Dobnak seems like a battler. I don't know if he will become an effective pitcher, but I'm pulling for him. Does anybody know if his new grip was responsible for his finger injury?

    Time would stand still throughout Twinsdom when Harmon Killebrew was up to bat. You could be at the hardware store ready to check out and the clerk would say, "just a minute, Harmon is up." And for the next few minutes we'd all stand there listening to the radio hoping to hear the crack of the bat that would send another baseball deep into the stands. It was the best of times.

    The dude threw 60 shoutouts (9th all-time). 60 SHUTOUTS! Pitchers don't even complete that many games in a career any more. The current active leader with 15 shutouts is Clayton Kershaw.
  15. AceWrigley
    I can remember so many games where the Twins just couldn't score runs for him. His win-loss record would have been even better with better run support.

    The Twins Prospect You’re (Actually) Waiting For: Royce Lewis. Because I have no idea what to expect.
  17. AceWrigley
    I doubt neither the Twins nor Knobby would welcome any such interaction.

    I don't see it as a lack of competency at all. They got a contract done agreeable to both sides before free agency. I think the deal got done now because it was the sweet spot so to speak of his career so far; a huge asset with MVP potential but injury prone. We've witnessed both and the new contract looks like a good mix of team friendliness and the potential to reward Mr. Buxton nicely as he performs well and stays on the field.

    Man, you know we're entering lockout hell when the top MLB Rumors article is, "Transaction Retrospection: Alex Rodriguez Signs With The Rangers". Oh Crap.
  20. AceWrigley
    In reference to the picture above: You have Rob Manfred on the right asking Master Magician Ricky Jay on the left if he could teach him some masterful slight of hand so he can pull a quickie over the Players Union and the owners can rule the baseball universe. The almost innocent bystander in the middle is musing, "I think he's serious." And so it goes.

    “Reasonable people working off an existing framework should not find it so difficult to reach an agreement”. As if that statement isn't the kiss of death to a quick agreement.
  22. AceWrigley
    One thing the lockout does is make the Twins look average when it comes to deal making since no deals are being made. The Twins fit right in.
  23. AceWrigley
    I've always thought that the best way to manage the collective bargaining agreement arena is fine both sides as a tax for every day of unresolved expired contract. Pro rate the fines according to the benefit structure of the expiring contract and watch them come to an agreement. ?

    AJ probably deserves to be in a Hall of Fame somewhere, it just isn't in Cooperstown. Pierzynski holds the AL record for consecutive errorless chances with 962. On June 13, 2012, Pierzynski was rated the most hated MLB player. In September 2021, A.J. was inducted into the National Polish-American Sports Hall of Fame in Troy, Michigan. Ron Kulpa: "ya know Pierznooski, you got a real mouth on ya." AJ: "Yeah, whatever dude. I know 3 blind mice who have a better strike zone than yours."

    Rocco with Byron Buxton in the lineup . . . brilliant manager. Rocco with Jake Cave in cf . . . not so much. ?
