Quick Notes - Dec. 17 and the WABAC Machine

Originally posted k-bro's baseball blog   It's been a while since I've updated, and addition to the Span and Revere trades that I did write about, there's been some activity I need to mention.   When I last did an update, it was right before the contract-tender deadline and the Winter Meetings. Let's go back in time three weeks to catch up.   Sherman, set the WABAC machine ...   bo beep boop bo beep   November 30, 2012 Contract-tender Day. This was the date when teams had to decide whether to te

Twins to the National League?

Okay, This is out of left field:p, but worthy of a conspiracy buff’s amusing post: Are the Twins headed to the National League? 1) We are stocking up on NL pitchers. 2) Target Field is a pitcher’s park. It wasn’tnecessarily built for the NL game, but the fact is that the park plays more like an NL venue. You can’t rebuild the park for the AL game, but you could change leagues… 3) Financially, Milwaukee and Minneapolis could benefit by splitting 21 games a year. 21 games of full stan

So who's left?

OK, maybe I was a little down after that Kevin Correia signing…sort of left a bad taste in my mouth. Really can’t recall anyone attempting a positive spin on the acquisition. Thing is, Terry Ryan continues to say that the Twins are not done and they need more starters. Now the Twins have acquired Mike Pelfrey who might have a chance of contributing, depending how he comes back from the Tommy John surgery early last year (kind of the same situation that Scott Baker would have been). I noticed tha

Future is bright

Two young live arms are now part of the Twins. The M & M boys part 2. May and Meyers in 2015. Hicks in 2013 and Buxton on the fast track in 2014 along with Sano. T Ryan should keep looking for stop gap solutions at team friendly terms until the young guns arrive. Diamond, Pelfrey, Worley, Correia, Gibson and whomever else Ryan picks up along the way. When Morneau is gone then we have money to look for bigger and better arms for today. Keep the faith.

Accumulate arms and see what sticks

Last time I checked the Twins were a small market team. Edwin Jackson and Marcum are risks in their own right but would demand larger contracts than Pelfrey and Correia. Pelfrey has pitched around 200 innings 4 years in a row until he got hurt. Correia has something to prove after being banished to the pen. Worley will be a starter for years to come. He is a bulldoh and Gibson 's time is now. Just like throwing crap against the wall T Ryan will accumulate arms and some will stick. My guess. He i

Talk to Contact, EP 17: Riding Edgar Martinez

Episode 17 of the Twins baseball podcast, Talk To Contact (@TalkToContact), is now available for download via iTunes or by clicking here. http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/2/files/2012/12/edgar_martinez_autograph.jpg?4c1d59 Once again the Twins’ twins get together to talk Twins baseball. This week Eric and Paul discuss the Kevin Correia signing (yuck), a look at the 2013 starting pitching rotation and the outfield and the quick escalation of MLB player salaries. Later in the podcast

mlb.com on what the Twins should do.

I was perusing the videos on mlb.com today and reliving some old glory moments when I came upon a video, posted today that discussed who two analysts thought the Twins should go after over the rest of the season and here were the picks along with my own thoughts.   Pitcher:   Analyst #1: Jair Jurrjens Analyst #2: Mike Pelfrey   My thoughts?:   If I had to pick on I would pick Jurrjens. 2013 has already been flushed away and while both of these players have had good years, they've both had bi

2012 Winter Meeting Recap

This was originally posted at our other website   It's a holiday tradition as old as Barack Obama's presidency (...hmm that didn't sound quite as impressive as I thought I would...); every year, shortly after the Winter Meetings end, we Peanuts offer a poorly digested, mostly fabricated recap of the glad-handing and back slapping that turns four days of business meetings in a fancy hotel into something somewhat amusing. We hope you enjoy this absurd dramatization of a professional business conve

Fooled Again!

I had a bad feeling going into this off-season the Twins would just shuffle their deck of cards and not really make any legitimate moves to strengthen their biggest weakness starting pitching. I was ambivalent after Denard Span was traded and did not know what to think. Trading a solid leadoff hitter, with a team friendly contract, for a talented but unproven prospect like Alex Meyer seemed very risky to me. I knew it was the right move but would of felt more comfortable getting a major leagu

Returning Jeter's 3000th Hit? Ethics and Baseball

Hey all,   Baseball is a form of theater. For example, we have our small-market Rebellion battling against The Evil Empire. These are the Meta narratives that we construct, in order to make sense and meaning out of a box score, or a trip to the ballgame with peanuts and Cracker Jacks with our children, or a beer with the guys.   So, take a break from the Hot Stove League, and consider (don't ponder, us Viking fans have done enough of that!), consider the question of Jeter's 3000th hit, and one f

Alberto Callaspo

With the Josh Hamilton signing the Angels will likely have to move a position player. Could the Twins acquire Callaspo to play 2B? Should they? His history suggests that he is a below average fielder at 2B but he has a 275/335/384 career line. Otherwise he seems to be a decent fielding 3B. He is signed for this year at 3.15 M.

Top 60 Prospects for 2013

This is under the assumption that no more prospects are going to be added to the system before the beginning of the 2013 season. So here are the top 60 prospects in the Twins organization:     1. Miguel Sano 2. Aaron Hicks 3. Oswaldo Arcia 4. Byron Buxton 5. Alex Meyer 6. Eddie Rosario 7. Jose Berrios 8. Kyle Gibson 9. Max Kepler 10. Trevor May 11. Joe Benson 12. Travis Harrison 13. Chris Herrmann 14. Nate Roberts 15. Adam Walker

Gleeman and the Geek: How To Podcast

[video=youtube;VAcYNo6YW70] Want to try your own Minnesota Twins (or movie or technology or whatever) podcast?  Great. You can start with this video. John walks Aaron through the same process we've used to record 70+ Gleeman and the Geek episodes, from the hardware through editing and to hosting. It's just a couple minutes long and at a high level, but hopefully it'll give you enough information to try it yourself.   For reference, here are the basics: We record it all on an iPhone, using
