Oh my God! Really! It is 3 games. Go away!

Wow! Do just hate Gardy or everything in life! You have a negative attitude in every thread I've read. I don't understand why you follow them?

When was his surgery as he only pitched 5 innings in 2012. He should actually be ready to pitch some this year, shouldn't he?

Does anyone know the status of Wimmers? I know he struggled and then was hurt last year but we've all seem to have forgotten about him. He was an excellent pitcher, regardless of how hard he did or...

I am on the Benson bandwagon. I am hopefully he puts it together and has a good solid year. Would love to see an outfield, at the end of the season, of Benson if LF, Hicks in CF and Arcia in RF. ...

Here is how I envision the starting line-up coming out of spring training.

SS Dozier
2B Carroll
C Mauer
LF Willingham
1B Morneau
DH Doumit
RF Parmelee
3B Plouffe

I still haven't seen the terms of the deal for Marcum. I think everyone needs to wait and see what the Mets paid until you rip Ryan. If the Mets overpaid, then all the jabber in this thread is...

If the Cubs add Edwin Jackson and Villanueva to their staff, along with Baker, Garza, Samardzija and Wood, their staff is not too bad, especially when compared to what the Twins would be throwing out...

What are the chances that the Twins would add Marcum and Villanueva to the starting rotation? Both would be top three starters right out of the date and both seem to be available.

I agree with this! He is better than Corriea.

Do you think they will start with Hick is CF day 1? I don't believe they will. I think they will let him get his feet wet at AAA and use Mastro in CF, along with maybe Benson or Arcia. Then maybe...

None. Not a fit and not gonna happen.

Not a fan of Dempster for 3 years. At his age and the current Twins roster, I would be inclined to look at someone younger and overpay / over term them.

For that money, the Cubs can have him. Everyone seems to forget that the first year after TJ surgery, most mortals (Strasburg not included) struggle. The Cubs overpaid and with no option (if that...

I like this move. If it is for three (3) years, it gives the Twins time to see if he is recovered or not. It also allows him to feel comfortable enough to take the time coming back and not try to...

Count me in.

Thanks for the continued updates. They are appreciated.

Seth, does that mean that the Casilla experiment is over and he won't be with the Twins next year or am I reading too much into your statement?

Right now, Capps has value as an experienced closer. As stated above, there are several teams that have needs at the back end of their bullpens as either the closer or as one of the set-up men (7th...

I listen to the Twins on the radio a fair amount, in the car, while I am working in the yard in the evenings or on the computer at work. I am curious what everyone thinks of the radio broadcasters,...

I think he has to start on the major league roster until the OF of Willingham, Span and Parmalee / Plouffe prove they can handle it defensively. Then, if they prove that, the Twins can think about...

If the Twins decide to carry three catchers, who will it be, Drew Butera or J.R. Towles? I am hoping it will be Towles if he can hit at all this spring.

Defensively, they are very comparable.
