Y'know what? I'm happy with what Clete has been doing here. Nobody expected him to come up and become an offensive powerhouse or become a human highlight reel, but he has done his job, and held down...

Yeah, I don't think we'll be hurting for OF, we've got Willingham, Doumit, Arcia, Parmelee, and Thomas, and if we really needed it Plouffe and Escobar can cover OF as well.

My guess is Escobar...

I think it makes sense, especially if he's willing to sign a minor league deal and spen some time at Rochester knocking the rust off

Princess Unicorn Crazy Pants would make people beg for Blyleven to come back

I think the idea could be effective, but it relies on having a pitching staff and coaching staff that fully buy in to the situation.

Basically, you'd be looking at a game where each pitcher would...

As discussed in a different thread, Bert is working fewer and fewer games. Eventually, he will step aside and cease being a regular on TV. My theory is that the Twins would like to keep that seat...

I personally like Dick quite a bit, especially after getting to know him in person. He's a good guy. Bert is kinda like that one weird uncle, he's fun and quirky, but after too long starts to grate...

Adderal is a banned substance? Is there an exception if you actually have a prescription and a diagnosis for ADHD or Narcolepsy?

I'm no athlete, but I crash cars when I'm not on Adderall, odds...

I'm starting to agree with you guys on this, but rather than limiting DFA's per season, it would make more sense to put the restriction directly on the waiver wire. Limiting DFA's could end be used...

Uh... By the time Ramirez got hurt, Benson had already been DFA'ed.

And really, if this team is building for the future, stockpiling potential LOOGYs seems kinda dumb. Better to hang on to guys...

In 9 seasons of Minor League ball, Plouffe played 78 games at 3B
In 9 seasons of Independent League/Minor League ball, Collabello has played 115 games at 3B (and 13 games in the OF)

So yes, he...

My understanding is that yes, they will be able to retroactively put him on the 15 day DL. I think that would make him eligible to come off June 6th.

I would bet this is a situation where...

Colabello will get another shot. More than anything though, it comes down to CF. Colabello might be able to handle a corner spot, but Hermann apparently can handle CF, and our other backup CF right...

Coomer at least is a good conversationalist.

I'd take pretty much anybody over Roy. Hell, I'm pretty sure I could do a better job as a commentator than him, and I wouldn't be good

For the love of God, someone turn his mic off. He doesn't do good play by play, he doesn't offer many useful insights, and he has no interesting stories. When you want a color commentator, he should...

He hit two homers in AA. Woopty freaking crap.

Three months ago, he had the opportunity to be the opening day CF for the Twins.

I don't care how hard those homers were hit, he's dug himself...

Topher! How's it going man? Small world!

On on topic though, I personally wonder how much it had affected Worley (and Corriea and Pelfrey for that matter) to jump to the AL. I've heard often that...

Who else were they gonna call with Arcia hurt? The only other position players left on the 40 man are pinto and Santana.

Also, just to defend the med staff here, they don't decide who goes on...

To be perfectly honest, it is in the best interest of Major League Baseball for Mauer to retire as a Twin.

Seriously, he is the ideal Baseball Hero. High School Sports Hero. drafted right out of...

Just remember, the average fan doesn't really care about payroll. They want to see their favorite guy. People love Joe. They aren't going to care if the Red Sox trade their top 50 propects for...

Well for one, if we lose both we're pretty much screwed if Mauer or Doumit gets hurt. Second, like I've said repeatedly we should shop these guys and get something for them, rather than toss them...

I'm not saying we should have kept Buscher over Thome. It just didn't make sense to me at the time to take away a bench spot from any possible defensive person.

Obviously in 2010, the choice to...

I think if they thought Gibson would guarantee wins, he'd be up here yesterday. But he hasn't been consistent, and we have no idea how he'll react to the pressures at the MLB level. It simply isn't...

I honestly do think that Butera and Herrman would get claimed by somebody. There is always a need for backup catchers.

Personally, I think they should trade Doumit, and have Butera or Hermann...
