The moderators have ruined this website IMHO. I rarely check this site for info anymore.

I used to find good reading material and good comments here but now ....I don't know. Maybe the fact that there's really no hope for a World Series anytime in the Terry Ryan/Ron Gardenhire/Joe Mauer led Twins. It's not that this team has been bad it's been fundamentally unbearable and these clowns all keep their jobs. What is a life long Twins fan really supposed to see that they like in this Twins team? Top to bottom everything about the Twins stinks.

I don't think Garza is as big a prize as some make him out to be. This whole thing is a big nothing the Twins have no desire to make the team better by spending money.

Where as Garza has already peaked I think Nolasco is still improving in the mental part of pitching. I think the Twins did well to sign Nolasco and Hughes for the prices they did, but I feel like they missed when they decided to bring back Big Pelf. There has to be a better option than the human pitching machine. Pelfrey's career WHIP is very close to 1.5 and was over 1.5 last year!

They probably gonna offer Garza something like 3 years 50 million and see if he bites.

I just can't see the Twins sacrificing any draft picks in such a deep draft. This is a whole lot of nothing. It always is with Terry Ryan.

I remember following that 91 season very closely as a young boy. I would go to the park and throw with my friends and imitate the Scott Erickson wind up. I had no idea how to throw a slider so at least I didn't ruin my elbow! Those were the days when the Twins could actually pitch and play defense. Whatever happened to those basic fundamentals? I cannot remember a single time last season when the Twins played small ball and manufactured a run. Gardy always plays for the big inning.

Sherman is the AJ Pierzynski of football. If he played for the Vikings I'd love him, but he don't. So he should shut his garbage mouth!

My big beef with this off season is Pelfrey. Why bring him back? Could just as well get a 95 MPH pitching machine to put on the mound every 5th game.

Constantly we hear this tripe in MN sports. I swear being "a good guy" is enough to get you millions of dollars playing for ANY of the professional sports teams. Here's a little wake up call SUPREME TALENT wins not SUPREME CHEMISTRY. Besides if you're team has a strong leader even "bad apples" will fall in line.

To me this is a gamble. I don't think Gilmartin is gonna make it but why not take a shot at a left hander with this kind of stuff when healthy.

I still think they should be trying to bring Baker back home. He belongs in a Twins uniform. I don't really put a lot of value in Pelfrey being able to perform terribly last year. Him being on rehab assignments all year would have probably been better for the team.

I think the Twins need to get Meyer up by June 1st.

I like Deduno. I don't think this shoulder problem is done though. I suspect he'll spend a lot of time on the DL this year.

They aren't really planning to keep Florimon as the starting SS, are they?
