I like your style.

Yes. Carry on.

259 delirious fans.... nice ?

Pay this man his money,

I think Wei Tang should be returned to the 36 chambers. 36 chambers has ALWAYS been my nickname for the Twins.

Lies, Damn Lies,... and Statistics

The Shaolin and the Wei Teng could be dangerous. Alright.. I'm done. One last parting shot.

I hate this trade. A potential career's worth of Wu Tang jokes/references right down the toilet.

And if you want beef, then bring the ruckus... Wei Teng guy ain't nothing to F with.

Hopefully the team feels disrespected and finally starts playing up to their potential...

To insinuate that the twins were simply being cheap versus trying to execute a specific plan is a little disingenuous I believe. Not that they have never been (probably rightly) accused of being cheap in the past. I just don't think this is an obvious example of it. So it appears they left a total of about 766,000 on the table (assuming no one was signed at the deadline). I don't doubt for a second they were trying to spend some of that to try to sign some more lower round picks. But that's just like my opinion man.

I'm pretty sure this is sarcasm, but in reality the twins didn't save any money. They spent all the money they could. They just gave it too other draft picks instead of the #1 pick.

I kind of like the cattle shelter... I mean dugout.

So if batting the young man in the three hole to start the season is a vote of confidence message.... what message is moving him to 9 and pinch hitting for him late in games??? Good article - well said.

How about Buxton not running after the lead off walk in the seventh? Molitor or Buxton to blame? Hindsight and 20/20, yadda yadda yadda..., but it seemed like a huge opportunity lost at the time.

I remind everyone of Dozier's season start last year. He was officially done as a viable ML hitter if i remember right. it's a wee bit early to call Buxton's season over.

Mauer/Vargas DH platoon.

Been awhile since I got Rickrolled. Even had the darn puzzle figured out...

I'm Latos intolerant.

Seriously. Is this not the absolute best possible scenario to let your struggling 22 year old future center fielder play everyday for the big club? What exactly do we have to lose at this point of this season?

Sano will NEVER EVER NEVER be able to play an even average third base..... /HEAVY sarcasm intended.

Abad just can't "get jiggy" with it?

Let's call it the reverse "Dozier effect" this season. Many, including yours truly, had Brian being DONE a few weeks ago. Now it looks like he could go up to the plate blindfolded and swinging a broomstick and still hit one out. Long season.... ebbs and flows...oscillations....reversions to the mean...etc. Hopefully Joe has a few more hot streaks later this year. And when he does, hopefully they last for a while.

In reality, don't we have 3 younger guys in the system with just as much upside (and just as many questions), who will need to be evaluated over the next few years? We can't have 4 DHs in the line up. I guess the issue is did we get appropriate value for him... but it doesn't bother me that we are making some decisions about who will be our eventual all or nothing type DH player. This all assumes we can get Sano to stick at third, otherwise they will all probably have to go eventually. ABW Vargas Palka

Looked like Plouffe had roots in yesterday's game. Not saying Sano makes every play, but he can certainly be as good or better than Plouffe was yesterday.
