Yesterday, 02:19 PMI think Hicks is a product of their poor planning going into the season. If there was an alternative I think Hicks would have been sent down long...33 replies | 922 view(s)

Yesterday, 01:57 PMThe Twins value different attributes than you do. You are willfully ignoring that at this point. Gibson has not been a stud at AAA. He hasn't even...81 replies | 1188 view(s)

Yesterday, 01:37 PMJust to be clear I have no problem with Mauer. I think he is a great player. I'm not even sure I would trade him as a GM. I do think a trade will...56 replies | 1769 view(s)

Yesterday, 01:04 PMOxtung replied to a thread Article: Joe Benson claimed off waivers by Rangers in Minnesota Twins TalkYeah that seems like a strange decision. There were plenty of players available with absolutely no upside who could have gone....108 replies | 1413 view(s)

05-24-2013, 11:20 PMA Mauer trade wouldn't be just about saving money, although I'm not naive enough to think that the Pohlad's wouldn't love to pocket that money, but a...56 replies | 1769 view(s)

05-24-2013, 07:30 PMOxtung replied to a thread Great Article about Rick Anderson and the Twins' pitching philosophy in Minnesota Twins TalkI agree 100% with the Dr. on this one.

05-24-2013, 06:30 PMNot to drag this too far off topic but you better get used to Correia, he is signed for next season too so he'll be getting a very long leash. If he...27 replies | 465 view(s)

05-24-2013, 05:59 PMI disagree with this. I think what fans really want, and this is true no matter what sport, is a winning team. If it was only about star players...56 replies | 1769 view(s)

05-24-2013, 05:52 PMSo, if you DFA Butera and he gets taken by another team, what do you do if Mauer or Doumit get's hurt? Or Doumit get's traded? Herrmann is really...42 replies | 1067 view(s)

05-24-2013, 01:03 AMI agree on Hermsen. You can't really DFA Butera even if he was healthy because of how much Herrmann is struggling in AAA. There needs to be a...42 replies | 1067 view(s)
