Just hope that the switch for Sano into the OF pays off...

According to what I read, they have a couple that were drafted in 2012 (without looking up minor league rosters), that throw 95-99... we'll see... :hope:

When I was at the Twins Caravan last week, the assistant GM (can't remember name right now) was saying how last year we saw some good talent in position players called up that were able to make a difference and that this year would be similar but this time in pitching. Hopefully that all goes as planned.

Well, I just looked at our schedule. Its hard basically all through May lol.

Until the last week in May we play our division, and either playoff teams or teams that massively underachieved last year and are expected to be much better.

Busy day for former Minnesota players. First Jared Allen, and now Nick Punto.

:clap:


Originally, one of the 3 players Ozzie Guillen referred to as The Piranhas, along with Korecky and Tyner.

Amirite @craigk217?

Ozzie is a tool... lol

Entertaining at least though. Dude is in his own world.


He made the Central Division fun during the mid-2000s. I honestly believe, that because of him, those Twins teams bought into what they were capable of doing.

Rumors are

Milone and Nolasco are the front runners for the 4th and 5th rotation spot.

Such a fucking joke.

If Duffey isn't in the rotation I'm gonna start hoping we lose so Ryan can go out like Yeo

Yes! Cuban B!


  • The Twins have interest in “several” Cuban free agents, 1500ESPN.com’s Darren Wolfson hears from a source (Twitter link), though high asking prices are an obstacle.
  • Fernando Abad’s minor league deal with the Twins will pay him $1.25MM if he makes the Major League roster and he has another $100K available in incentives, as per Wolfson and Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press (Twitter links).

Twins, Dodgers At "Impasse" In Dozier Talks


Sounds like the talks to move Dozier are at a stand still. Might be sticking around unless a far fetched swap goes down for Bautista. Although that would be kind of exciting, I don't see it happening. Bautista is 36 so maybe we could get a few more good years of 20+ bombs out of him... But again, probably not happening.

No chance Bautista plays for the Twins, he's too expensive for a team in a rebuild and we shouldnt be spending big money for a DH.
