Um.....Hunter and Knobber are not even in the same league as Kirby and Maurer -two of the greatest Twins all time. I liked Torri but he isn't in the same class as Kirby and joe

Thank god for this post. The "strikeouts are everything" discussion was going way to far - especially concerning potential free agents. Baseball history is filled with successful pitchers who...

Actually this is erroneous. What is true is that you get to Aitken before you get to Remer.

Well, a few more starts like this and they should really consider DFA. Again, what good is it to us if he figures it out, breaks some scar tissue loose and starts pitching better in August? At this...

With regards to Gardy's decision to send him back out there, its easy to see everything clearly after the fact but I do tend to agree that he is too conservative on making a change. Its happened a...

Of all the things that I think / worry / obsess about the Twins, I can honestly say that Joe Mauer and hitting is not one of them. The idea that Ron Coomer is breaking down the mechanics of his...

The thing about this that doesn't work is his one year contract. If he isn't producing now there really isn't a payoff for the Twins in letting him "rehab" at the major league level because he is...

I actually agree with you on this point. I thought this team had potential in the regular lineup and enough pieces to put together a decent bullpen. My main point isn't to give credit to TR for who...

I'm not even suggesting that anybody critical of the siginings needs to apologize. I am merely suggesting that they might be wrong; maybe not but just maybe. Simple.

Whatever. People were going nuts about TRs lack of adding starting pitching. I didn't like it either but was willing to consider the idea that maybe he knew more than me. The strength of the...

Nick, doesn't that work both ways? Wasn't it too soon to make many of the declarations that were made on this site last winter?

I think I'll decline to argue about past history - I don't think anyone expects Corriea to win the Cy Young. One valid point on all of this is that perhaps TR was more accurate than we thought when...

Two things:

I believe the Twins can keep him in rochester for up to 30 days as part of the rehab stint so they don't have to do anything right now.

Are we sure a claiming team is responsible...

I definitely think that he should start getting more playing time - who decided he should be a utility guy at the age of 23? First of all, the age difference does matter: 2 years in your...

I posted this on a different thread but Gardy blew this one big time and I am usually a supporter. they started squaring him up in the 6th and Gardy let him hang out there in his seond start. He...

Ummm....I think he made a play behind second base to get the Twins out of an inning tying run scored. I think it might be a bit early to write him off. Of all our middle infield suspects, he...

This one is on Gardy....
Disclosure: I am usually supportive of Gardy and I didn't see the game today, just listened on the radio......but: if you get 7 innings out of Correia he should be on a one...

This is my thought process as well. I believe he has the innate power to hit a bunch of home runs. I just think he will always be too inconsistent in making contact. Teams will definitely make...

Not to mention that good 3rd basemen are really hard to find. I don't think it is unreasonable to expect him to be substantially better in the field this year. As mentioned in the article, this is...

This might sound crazy but Dozier could be very important this year. They desperately need at least one of the MI to swing the bat. While they have a good lineup in other areas they will have too...

It has to be Harmon. I loved Kirby as well but Harmon was that kind of iconic figure for a very long time. I'm 52 and cried when I heard the news of his passing. Tony was great also and a true...

He is one of those rare pitchers who actuallly have a better chance of throwing a strike with his breaking ball. I agree that he doesn't need AAA - the question is throwing it over, not if his stuff...

At this point, he has to be given some consideration. His stuff and the stage on which he has displayed it really have to be noticed. Just hope 40 man issues don't deny him a chance to be in the...

Gibson is in the process of making this decision very easy with his recent spring performances. Of course it is certainly possible for him to sharpen up before camp breaks but if this is what its...
