I think all he meant was what you pretty much proved in your article. Other than Mauer it's very rare that a guy sees the pros in less than 4 years since being drafted. That only means that using...

Before his shutout on the 8th he hadn't exactly been lighting the world on fire in AAA. Now that he has thrown efficient shut outs in 2 of his last 3 starts RIGHT NOW is probably the time where...

As per ESPN....

Mauer was held out of Friday's lineup against the Red Sox due to back stiffness, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Spin:
As a result, consider him day-to-day. Ryan Doumit is...

Did Joe just swing at the first pitch?!:confused:

It took me a minute to why you were using the generic KC to describe Santana's pitch location......didn't dawn on me you might be talking about Correia.

:d

Let's say Perk gets out of the inning, you go into the 9th tied with only Robertson and Roenicke left in the pen after already using Pressly, Duensing, Fien, Perkins and Burton being unavailable.

Man, I didn't think I would ever even question that I would be happy about even thinking about Mastro playing CF full time for the Twins.

Hard throwing power pitchers?! WHAT is going on? Here in...

In the same boat, can't argue with any of your picks either. Does 7 starts last year to this year make Diamond qualify for a most improved player? I say you would have to give it to Plouffe who had...

Lanigan has thrown 8.1 innings of baseball above AA to the tune of 6.48 ERA with 2 K and 4 BB in that timespan, I don't see how that is pitching better than anyone.

Well I don't think it's fair to just double the record and say this is what they are on pace for. The first 40 games were certainly a lot worse than the 2nd 40 games. I would be surprised if this...

As per Joe C on twitter.

What's the word on Fien? Blackburn had to go.

With the shutdown of BYTO, tell me the itstimetotakeit were somehow saved. If I was ever feeling down you couldn't read that thread and leave without a smile!

Speaking of Dan, he still hates Mauer.

Check out the little twitter convo he had with Rhett Bollinger today.

It will be a long sad rest of the summer if the Twins go 27-56 the rest of the way.

There is no way the option will be picked up. I do think there is a great chance he comes back on a one-year deal though.

You have to imagine with rehabbing and him knowing the...

Not quite there, but close enough. I'd be curious in everyone's answers to these:

1. The Detroit Tigers will win the AL Central with a record of 86-76.

2. The Minnesota Twins will finish in...

I was just looking at his numbers and searched for a thread about this.

What really gets me is not just the .196 risp but also the .148 with runners on period. 16 out of 18 of his jacks have...

Great post. The entire thing. Wish more people would just sit back and appreciate how special of a player Mauer is and feel fortunate he is on the team instead of judging him under a microscope for...

Looking at the numbers, career wise the Twins are a collective 5-39 against Sale with 0 XBH and 12 K's. The only player with multiple hits is Mauer, and he is 2-8.

With all the money coming off the books I would say it is very reasonable the Twins would go after 1 or 2 of the bigger name starters who will hit FA this offseason.

What Twins are you watching? ...

I agree with this. Especially when it comes to Perkins. He is 29, though under-performing compared to last year, still having a above-par year, has closer type stuff and signed to a very team...

Rooting for him to hit a HR, and cheering after he does are two different things in my opinion.

Comparing Thome and AJ? Wow.

I feel like I "bleed blue" Twins fan for life, and I would have gave Thome a standing O as well. The guy is a great player, great guy and played super for us. If...

Well maybe that's why? Knowing they used 5, thought they could see if Walters could go, if not they would have Manship ready. Really no difference than scratching him and starting Manship.
