  1. I'd like to be optimistic but it wasn't that long ago that Hughes was being compared to Cliff Lee.
  2. Yeah, it looks more like a lot of the same. I don't expect miracles but I do expect something different.
  3. Honestly, I don't envy the new FO at all. They're new with the organization and are probably still trying to find their footing both within and without the organization. This is going to be tough for both management and fans. It's a wait and see. Although, anything less than a train wreck is probably a successful season.
  4. Mr. Dozier will become a 30/30/.300 player. 30 steals, 30 home runs while hitting .300.* *A fan can dream, can't he?
  5. Yeah, I have to agree with you. It has seemed to me that Mr. Mauer has not adjusted his approach as pitchers adjust to him. It looks to me like opposing pitchers are taking advantage of the free strike they are given.

    Uhhuh

  7. Good observation. Though, at one time Gordon would have been very good on his own. But, at age 33, he's in his declining years. No way around it.
  8. Drat, I have to put on my serious hat. Here goes: The Twins only spend in the FA market if they're only a piece or two short of putting together a playoff contender. This is the year a lot of the youngsters need to show they have what it takes to produce in the big leagues. If the Twins pitching falls on its face again, then the solution is not just a pitcher from the FA market. One pitcher does not make a staff. /serious hat off.
  9. I see the Indians as being like the Royals. Missed the brass ring first time through and are hungry the second time around.
  10. No extra innings in Spring Training, right? Okay, then, wrong again!
  11. Evidently, you've not been paying attention to who's been invited to Spring Training....
  12. Yeah, and we're really dating ourselves by getting the cultural reference.
  13. Looks like a game thread to me. Chitown, you're off the hook!!
  14. Well, let's just say I'm not totally enamored with Mr. Molitor as a manager. My comment is as much a knock against as it is an observation.
  15. The "someone needs to step up" approach. I completely agree. I would argue that it's also the job of the manager to identify the players who can lead and motivate them to lead.
  16. For some reason, I always get the impression Nick actually resembles Ricky Vaughn. Minus the tats and prison term.
  17. "...The old saw about the early bird just goes to show you that the worm should have stayed in bed." -Robert A. Heinlein
  18. Mostly dead? what, no one's included a quote from "The Princess Bride" yet? Who are you people?
  19. I'm surprised you didn't wind up with a funny white canvas coat, you know, the one with the arms crossed and your own special handlers in that special place for special people.
  20. What's interesting is that this site could easily have become a Frankenstein monster. Instead, it's butterflies, unicorns and skittles. (Hey, the Twins season hasn't started yet, so, I'm optimistic. And maybe on drugs)
  21. Brock who? Seriously, though, the site is a lot of fun and keep up the great work everyone, mods, contributors, general smart-alecs (a little self-promotion never hurts). That means you too, Mr. Beauchamp.
  22. Baseball scheduled pitchers and catchers for February 14 because MLB loves us. I thought that was obvious.
