    Labrum surgery is tricky and outcomes more unpredictable than other sports injuries (except 'thoracic outlet surgery'). Joint can end up too tight or too loose. If it was the throwing shoulder I'd be VERY worried but alas, it is not, so he's got a shot.
  2. D.C Twins
    Not pretending to know for sure that Gordon would stick (but I do think he is a tenacious competitor).....just think that given his performance and the Twins need for a better bat at the position warrant a shot (Also like the idea of Wade as 4th OF....just hate the inflexibility of having Grossman on the roster)
  3. D.C Twins
    On a more positive note... Happy MAY-day everyone!
  4. D.C Twins
    Worlds greatest mysteries..... Does string theory really prove there are 11 dimensions?..... ....and why hasn't Gordon gotten a shot with Palanco out given the other underwhelming options? (and not necessarily in that order)
  5. D.C Twins
    Where has Rooker been? Injured? All the early season turmoil seems to have really thrown Vargas off. He is really struggling. Anyone know what is holding Gordon back at this point (honest question)?. I think it is time to get his MLB party started
  6. D.C Twins
    Grat-er-ol! That-is-all....
  7. D.C Twins
    The future needs to be now. Gonsalves and Slegers need to be breaking in with Romero. (and Gordon needs to be up while Sano is out playing every day but that is another thread). Young and hungry is exactly the infusion this club needs. Hughes is done. No more pontifications, ruminations, perseverations, machinations or-most-importantly- rationalizations. Lynn can go to long relief and EARN his way back into the rotation. He is on a 1 year contract....short leash. Now back to your regularly scheduled recognition of MiLB starting pitchers.....

    Side effects of an imploding bullpen include: Overexcitement about Tyler Jay and Zach Jones!
  9. D.C Twins
    Agree that Buck out is a big difference. But, the other big difference between this year and last is obviously Santana. His lights out pitching single handedly kept us in the race, especially in the first 3rd of last season. I feel like we'll find a groove as the weather warms, but I'm also worried that we'll have dug too deep of a hole by the time we do.....we just don't have the talent to start from a deep hole

    Hey wait a minute! I didn't know there was a line forming for pitchers who can give up less than a run per inning in the MLB who are already in the organization. Sincerely Yours, Nick Anderson P.S: In fairness, I think the line will be long and I may not be able to see the front from where I'll end up..... (TD NOTE - This was NOT actually written by Nick Anderson!)

    Ding! (Your 2014 first round draft choice is ready)
  12. D.C Twins
    Dear Twins Front Office, I know that you want to come off super smart with your fancy stats and all, but I promise that I can give up less than a run per inning without the headache of picking up the New York Yankee's cast offs. Oh, and I've seen Romero pitch, and yeah, I actually thought I should be far more worried about HIM blocking my path to the majors, even without the benefit of fancy stats. Yours Truly, Aaron Slegers (TD NOTE - This was not actually written by Aaron Slegers!)
  13. D.C Twins
    Is it just me, or does Das Kepler have sick bat speed through the zone.....
  14. D.C Twins
    Initial answer: Nope Answer after wonderful article: Still Nope Not a selection of the current FO....will have short leash.
  15. D.C Twins
    Good to hear that the control looks better. Good MLB hitters lay off his offerings that spill out of the zone unlike what he got away with tearing up the minors. This results in high pitch counts if not high run counts and taxes the bullpen over the year. We still need to see an extended period of control with low pitch counts before I can be officially excited. Boy to I hope though!
  16. D.C Twins
    If and when Romero reaches his 1A potential we are officially a WS contender. The current rotation is sufficient to make the playoffs over a 162 game season, but for playoff results and overall team swagger, we NEED that 1A (please be a 1A....please be a 1A....PLEASE be a 1A)
  17. D.C Twins
    Love the roster flexibility that comes with Granite over a long season and hate the inflexibility of Grossman and Vargas. Especially when the bench numbers are limited. And with the addition of Logan, I think HR potential off the bench is slightly less needed.
  18. D.C Twins
    Price is definitely coming down... as his agent is pulling out both the classic desperate leaks... "Got a offer from another team!" "Going to make a decision by the end of the week!" With a new splash of "Are we sure there is no collusion going on?" Translation to all of the above: "Holy @#$%, this is NOT the market we anticipated" Now that the price has come down, don't get too cute Twins....there will not be another opportunity when the Big Boys wake up for next years FA ready to EAT.
  19. D.C Twins
    The most humor possible! At the end of the day, none of us really know what the best baseball decisions are, but we all like to laugh. The Simpson's thread on this site was one of the funniest threads I've ever followed and showed the fun intellect of the site followwers. RiverBrian has fantastic posts....More like that please

    Dear FO, Um....this isn't my ONLY X-mas present....is it?!
  21. D.C Twins
    The missing piece is starting pitching.....still.
  22. D.C Twins
    No, No he is not.
  23. D.C Twins
    No good answer...Best case senario they outsmarted themselves...If they really wanted him (and were ONLY ones who knew he'd be good , they could have likely had him for much less than Burdi and/or Bard. I've generally been a fan of the FO but they tried way too hard here to be the smartest kid in the room.
  24. D.C Twins
    Certainly a risk. I think our current group can hold the fort down until the cavalry is needed and will fall more in the 'average' than 'bad' category....but "thinking" is not "knowing", so feel free to bank this quote in the event of any future implosions
  25. D.C Twins
    The Twins strategy for relief pitchers has been reasonable. Every year there are relief pitchers that excel on bad teams. We can then trade for said relief pitchers that we KNOW are pitching well this year. Yes you can lose some prospects, but you have a much more reliable return on investment in the often volatile world of relief pitching. (didn't know which thread to post this on, so did it on both
