    No one on this thread has cheerleaded for Molitor yet, so let me be that guy. Molitor falls more into the TK temperament than the Gardy temperament. Which would also rule out Ozzie, Douggie, and Redmond for me. That's not to say TK didn't have an edginess, but Gardy's just got too much personality and clubhouse presence for my taste. I'd like to see the next manager just fade into the background, someone who lets the young guys put their own stamp on the next winning Twins teams. Also, someone already close to the team who knows the Twins community inside out. Seems like Molitor could be the guy, though I'm not wedded to him.

    Cut? You mean, like, "hey Joe, I need a word with you in my office"? Seems pretty harsh.

    I'd bet his odds are greater than 50-50 that he implodes at some point, but for now he's doing ok. It was actually about this time last year he had that awful game against the Yankees, and we have the Yankees coming to town in a couple weeks, so brace yourself for what's to come.

    Are umpires a variable?

    I love the first hand account - thanks! Sounds like a good honeymoon to me..

    I assumed you had Correia ahead of Deduno on the De-Done-o list. however I could cut Deduno a little more slack, a couple more starts maybe. He's got so much movement on his pitches he's nice to have around. Unfortunately not a lot of movement today.

    Way too many quality arms waiting in AAA.
  9. Hosken Bombo Disco
    True. He might have been cut when Willingham and Arcia returned, if he was anyone other than Jason Kubel.

    Welcome to the dark side, jjswol...... We can debate early injuries and Bartlett's retirement and such, but a narrow question for you, stringer bell, or whoever else comes along and cares to answer-- do you feel Gardy's outfield options were limited yesterday with Santana and Nunez in the outfield and Hicks and Kubel on the bench.
  11. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Yangervis Solarte is on there.

    I also think Perkins has the inside track. Gardenhire was named a bench coach and he and Perk seem pretty tight, so if Gardy has any sway it might be Perkins (provided he maintains the numbers). OTOH adding a former Yankee might be a fun bit of schadenfreude for a Boston manager. On the third hand, if Dozier continues hitting (say he somehow reaches 20/20 at the break) it will be tough to leave him off. And obviously I am just guessing about all of this

    The 91 team was a validation of the 87 team so for me, 91 was more satisfying. And they were just a better team. Geez I've become an old-timer

    Hey, the more optimists on this site, the better... I've always thought the Twins could play to within spittin' distance of .500 this year, simply because of Ryan's free agent pitcher signings and the natural development of the young guys. But I think Division or Wild Card is too much to expect.

    If Colabello had had the benefit of a MLB-affiliated minor league development track instead of 7 years in independents, he might have become a very good MLB hitter.
  16. Hosken Bombo Disco
    If Santana continued playing center, it would only be a matter of time before we saw something-Escobar or Colabello-like.

    Thanks jorgenswest for putting this together. Like Sconnie said, a case might be made for any one of those guys in isolation. Now step back and consider that all three of them together were essentially promised a spot on the team, regardless of their spring training performance (or, non performance) or regardless of what if anything they had to contribute.
  19. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Yeah that one.. I'm not calling the Twins walk-taking ability a fluke (I think it's for real) but what if that inning had gone 1-2-3, what would the season projection look like then?
  20. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Can you post the 2014 projections after subtracting out that outlier inning against Toronto?
  21. Hosken Bombo Disco
    If Pelfrey is still able to hang around and be "good in the clubhouse" then it's all good, because even taking away Pelfrey's stats, it's still the worst rotation in the majors I think.
  22. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Honestly, it's completely out of the hands of anyone to make any changes to the ballot after the season starts? Gimme an effin' break, MLB executives! But, don't the coaches select the bench players? There might be that going for Colabello.
  23. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I will kick Mauer off for the moment and replace him with Tony O, then reassess later. As far as Carew, he has the baseball skills but priority for me goes to the lifers who gave their careers to this organization. As far as which pitcher, that's a tougher call.
  24. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Every team has their ghosts, not just the Twins, no doubt.
  25. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Yeah, I was going to say you forgot guys like Cuddyer and Revere, either of whom could of filled in the Outfield for the recently-retired Jason Bartlett
