but what if the Twins threw money at player only to have the player spun the offer and go to another team? Just because the Twins didnt sign a big name FA in the offseason doesnt necessarily mean...

Terry Steinbach influence?

that was a odd tangent Bert was on. Its like he was telling stories that are normally 'off the record' or without names or anything.
Good for Mike Redmond getting a managers job, but it sucks that...

they probably need time to clear off some seating sections. Is MLB scaling back Interleague play? This is only a 2 game series.
Also, I wonder what game FSN is going to carry? the tv schedule says...

Interesting, that hit n run with Dozier/Mauer was a straight steal and Mauer just swung at the pitch

Minnesota Twins: Joe Mauer's groundout was not a hit-and-run - TwinCities.com

I think the snowouts have affected his playing time. Both have come on 'getaway' games where Gardy likes to insert some of his bench players into the starting lineup.

Vance Worley has a WHIP of 2.417

fun!

I wonder how far in the Rolodex Mr. Heyman had to go to get a 'Gardy is on the hot seat' scoop.

does this rumor come up every 4 days? sure seems like it.

with the rainout today and a couple days off in the next 10 days, it makes sense to go with a 4 man rotation. Get Hendriks some work in Rochester and call him up again in 15 days.
no big deal to me....

Jim Thome hit 7 home runs off Rick Reed that year. Thats gotta be a record

Its hard to compare basketball and baseball but this Gardy situation kind of reminds me of the Tubby Smith situation. Smith was well liked by the national folks but the locals are bubbling up with...

how about some Northwoods League games?

It would probably lose some of its charm of small town minor league ball (I live close to Mankato and have been a few MoonDogs games and they put on a great...

damn you, Metrodome roof!!!!

the Twins never sign big time free agents (1991 excluded)
so until they show that they will actually go out and sign people year after year, I never believe what comes out of the Front Office.

according to baseball reference, Mike Mussina is on the ballot next year.
stack Mussina next to Morris and the traditional stats say Mussina was a little bit better.

I like Joe Webb
But the Packer game shows that nothing changed from the last time he played (big arm, fast, very inaccurate, even more skittish than Ponder in the pocket). If he wasnt prepared to...

the last time Inge was a catcher was 2008. Its like saying a team should sign Michael Cuddyer because he is a great option to be a backup 3B

last nights Joe Webb's performance goes to show that you need a QB who has the threat of completing a pass, even if its a dumpoff to the RB.

it seems hard to compare players in the NFL because style of play, and the players themselves (bigger, faster, more film study, etc), change so much. Todays game is so much different than when Jim...

the home batting practice hats are cool, but are the Twins are usually done with batting practice before the gates open

He lost me when he was throwing out 'oh yeah, Mauer would be fine with a permanent move to 1B.' when Mauer has said over and over he wants to be a catcher.
Just another article about an East Coast...

ahh.
shouldnt there be a ruling by some third party arbitrator to decide what the standard formula should be?

I got a qustion about WAR. Baseball-Reference has Mike Trout at a WAR of 10.7 and Fangraphs and 10.0. Why are the numbers different?

There has been a lot of mockery of baseball writers for not...

Robbie Inc seemed like a decent dude, but I never enjoyed his live interviews. They seemed so awkward

I guess it all depends on how much salary the Marlins are willing to eat. But Buehrle is the ultimate 'Twins pitcher' (soft tosser, no walks, works fast)
