    The "keep Dozier" crowd seems to me to be taking a very shortsighted look at the whole situation. The twins need to be thinking 3 to 4 years ahead when there is a chance for our pitching and offense to match up. There is no way we are turning the pitching staff around in 1 year, so we may have a very good Dozier again next year but we will still be terrible. Or else Dozier struggles and we blew a huge opportunity. Why risk it?

    If there's controllable, high upside pitching that can be had for Dozier it should be done. We have enough offense to overcome his loss.

    Odds are Thome probably tried a steroid or two back in the 90's too just like everyone else from that era

    I don't think he'll sign with us either. I do think the casual fan would be more likely to go watch the Twins with him on the team in September. I also don't believe he's as despised as you say. His 700th homerun will/would get him an ovation wherever he is
  9. Everyday Eddy
    I would try if I were the Twins. Not a whole lot of positives from a baseball standpoint except maybe Sano gets to pick his brain a little bit. Consider though that Target field will be empty in September as the club now stands. Arod chasing 700 would probably fill the place. So business wise it's a yes. Baseball wise it's a no.

    Have him work to improve his defense (he's not that old, it can be done) and suddenly he's a pretty good player to have on the roster
  11. Everyday Eddy
    There aren't other options, which is the issue and his point I believe
  12. Everyday Eddy
    IF he is qualified, does he have the guts(for lack of a better term) to break up the country club atmosphere that is perceived by the public? This is the real issue this organization faces. Fans know an outside hire won't be afraid to shake things up, which is why the outsider is so appealing.
  13. Everyday Eddy
    If strictly identifying ML breaking balls is the issue then fine he should be in the majors, but many (and i assume the Twins) believe there are fundamental flaws in his swing that need refining and the best way to do that is with low pressure and lots of reps.

    Having been good at a sport doesn't make one a good coach at said sport. Not saying he couldn't be a great coach, but having been good at a sport is not a good predictor of being a successful coach/manager

    For a fan base that wants to start seeing things done right, there sure are a lot of people that want to keep doing things wrong with this kid. He was pushed way way way too fast by a desperate FO and set up to fail. Now he needs to be given time take a step back and reset and be given time to develop at the proper pace. He could be in the minors for 2 or 3 more years before he figures it out. Being hot for a few months at AAA does not mean you're ready for the majors. Hopefully whatever GM is brought in handles the situation well

    I'm not blaming Perkins for being hurt. Just imagining what he could've fetched if he was pitching well
  17. Everyday Eddy
    Perkins

    The past doesn't really have any baring on what's happening right now. New GM and organization in a completely different place
  19. Everyday Eddy
    The point is we're focused on the next 5 years not next year. Who cares if we don't have Santana next year
