Twins Off Season Commentary

buck, we're talking Torri Hunter, not Hunter Pence.

Oh stop, PC!! My gut is busting on that one, ha-ha. Pence is a real piece of work! He could go right into Zombie movies when he retires from baseball. In the meantime, he's a real gamer, I'll give him that!

PC - Did FoxSports go out of business? There are no posts on the sites I looked at. Maybe I got deleted for lack of posting, it's been a couple years I guess.

I think they changed things up again. They keep trying to improve things over there but just keep mucking it up more. Last I saw it was just Hauvster talking to himself..

So, I assume he's still kicked-off SportsHoopla? That dude could break up party even where someone was throwing around wheelbarrows of $100 bills in a small room. I never, ever, ran into a pair like him and that other nit-wit, fantasy champ. Happily, those days are behind me now. You should see all those mid-westerners sitting at the Twins games baking in the intense sun. Not a one of them would change a thing right now! That's pretty cool! Lotta good people coming through here now. Wish you were here!

Doz locked up for 4

Doz locked up for 4

They didn't need to do that just yet. Not at that price tag. Hopefully he can play up to the later years.

Yeah I agree but it's clear there game plan isn't the same as mine lol. Takes him off the table as one of my potential trade pieces I think.

Hopefully he has a break out year via consistency and a better batting average.

He was already off the table as he owned his arbitration years through 2018. The only thing they bought was cost certainty.

You can still be traded though lol.

I'm saying I don't see a 20 mil contract for Doz being movable unless he proves to be worth it, which in that case....you don't trade him anyways.

Anyways going to be interesting to see what we do with Roasrio moving forward.

I hear ya. I think it's a fair deal - and if he outperforms it, I don't doubt he'd give us a discount beyond that as well based on this. He seems to be a pretty grounded and grateful kid.

Good day for Dozier yesterday. Celebrated his payday by crushing another HR. He's looking good and poised for another good year after breaking out last year. Hopefully this time he can just sustain his success into the later part of the season.

Torii Hunter got in on the celebration with a long ball of his own. Looking forward to seeing more of that this summer as well.

Come on Opening Day!

I really hope they give the 5th spot to Milone.

I've seen enough of Pelfrey...

 

[Win TWINS!!!]

Have i stated previously, that they can't get up here soon enough?

 

[powerchord86]

Just 10 more days away. But who's counting?

Just a few more days for me to see them, then you guys get them back where they belong....Home Sweet Home!! I can definitely say that I will miss them after this spring. They looked pretty good at times, but they were fun to watch all the time! Planning to get back to Mpls this summer for a game or two. Maybe even a Canadian fishing trip? Ah, those were the days! Twins baseball and Canadian fishing.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Not a big fan of the Schafer/Robinson platoon. Seen this shit so many times the last 4 years. It gets us nowhere as neither are a long term fix.

Should ride out Hicks til Buxton is ready. Nothing to lose.

Glad that Milone(still pretty blah himself) got the 5th spot over Pelfrey!!! Happy days!!!

Here's hoping Santana, Hughes, Gibson form a good 3 man and the other 2 bounce back nicely.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Lmao at Pelfrey.

We'd love nothing more than to trade his worthless ass

 

[powerchord86]

Twins are going all the way. Here's how it will go down:

"Phil Hughes, possessor of an extraordinary K:BB ratio, uses his newly-discovered Jedi mind tricks to confuse batters. Since none of the opposing rosters contain anyone with the last name "Skywalker," the Twins easily make their way to, and through, the Fall Classic."

 

[Win TWINS!!!]

Good final outing by Santana yesterday. He looks ready. Will the bullpen be? Lol

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Hermann made the roster. FML I hate that guy.

Hermann and Scafer/Robinson. Those guys suck. Luckily for my sanity only 1 will play most nights.

I'd go Santana(really don't want to but...) in center and Scooby at SS until Hicks figures it out. Schafer just isn't good and Scooby is on the rise.
