looks like the Yankees dont like to be bullied around..."I want to get it done by tonight, one way or another"-Hank Steinbrenner on the Santana talks.
If I was Hank I diffentely wouldnt be pushing the Twins away from you because as everyone in baseball knows the Yankees always have poor pitching and if you scare off the one team that has an ACE pitcher wanting to trade to you, you dont make such frivolous demands!

No Hunter; no Santana; no Nathan.
I swear I've seen this movie before. I think it starred Tom Berenger, Charlie Sheen, and Corbin Bernsen. And I seem to recall Rene Russo and Wesley Snipes.
well so far only 1 of the 3 are gone but in the movie you are speaking of they went on to the playoffs!
-
Agree, but Eades comments are more substantial then someone on this thread saying my source said...
Diffently, I would go with the coaches word before someone elses on this board saying "my source"
-
According to Ken Rosenthal the Twins are currently shopping Joe Nathan and the Astros look to be the leading contenders, do the Astros have talent to land Nathan? diffently not major league ready talent but the Twins wouldnt need major league talent right away because they already have a closer (Neshek). I know the Twins scouts are really good at finding talent at the single A and AA levels but do the Astros want to give up that much talent for a closer when they are probably a few years away from contending again and by the time they contend Nathan will be older!

I would say that's a ways from "probably done for the year"
It's kind of hard to say when someone will be back espically with laws prohibiting coaches from saying how severe the injury is. The only people that know how severe the injury is, is from the coaches, player and the doc (and i doubt any of them will tell the honest truth).

What relevance does that have. /thread
it just means that you can dish out insults at people but you cant take them!
-
You make less and less sense as the day goes on. Just close this thread now.
are you upset that someone called you out on this? I see that you insulted Davek And I quote "I feel bad for your kid DaveK simply because he has to be around you growing up. His hockey knowledge will be crushed for life and i suggest you put him in a pair of figure skates because with you at his helm he's on the fast track for failure and a certain fate of mediocrity. Good luck DaveK because i'm done arguing with your sixth-grade education. Hope all goes well and....wait i really don't hope it goes well. Riders 06 ride or die my man."

Right, because talking about being picked last and eating boogers is sooooo funny.
i dont remember ever talking about a booger eating kid?
You can sure dish out the insults but you cant take them?
-
On a scale of 1-10 how old is your boyfriend?
WE HAVE A WINNER! DUMBEST QUOTE OF THE DAY!
-
Wow, that's so funny. You hit it right on the nose.
just like the kid with the boogers hanging out of his nose!
-
Brooks freaking Bollinger was the QB. This team is 6-2 with Tarvaris as the starter. And the O-line is opening up epic holes. The Packer game was about as bad as it can get. I would not be afraid to play them in the playoffs.
its okay, soohockey15 is just mad that he never really got to play sports in highschool! he was always picked after the kid with boogers hanging out of his nose!
-
The way Eli played last week, the Sioux would've had 4 int.
the next four games the vikings have too are againts mid level teams; San Fran, Chicago, Denver, and Washington. The way the Vikes are playing i wouldnt be surprised if they went 9-7 or even 10-6!
-
Does anyone other than me remember that the Vikings lost to the Packers 34-0 a few weeks ago?
anyone other than me remember that the Vikings beat the Giants 41-17 last week? and returned 4 INTs for TD? just wondering
-
Radke didn't play at all this weekend. The kid has so much grit and toughness I was surprised that he didn't get a chance to play...so weird...
god your so full of knowledge...you should become a hockey coach!
you must've been one of those kids that was always picked last in gym class.
-
woog vs blais! what a way to start a series!
-
A weak, slap hitter? He'd fit right in there with Punto, Tyner and Casilla!
weak slap hitter? i dont care what anyone says, as long as you get on base and let your big hitters get you home i am happy with that. You would think though with Santanas track record and age the Twins could command a little bit more out of a team, thats my opinion.
-
So still some rumors about Santana going to the Red Sox, I dont know who all the players would be but one name keeps popping up is Coco Crisp. With the new addition of Young to the Twins would it be stupid for the Twins to add Crisp? What about adding a new 2nd baseman and move casilla over to SS?
-
You're probably right. I just saw the games against weak teams where she skated most of the game with the puck on her stick. I just thought she could have passed more often in that type of situation. And I also based my opinion of her based on my sister, who played against her.....for someone who is very shy, apparently she liked to chirp (on the ice that is). So I guess my overall opinion of her isn't favorable..but it is just my opinion. Good Luck to her at BSU, I hope she represents Crox well. I also know the coach (Moe). I am impressed with what he's done for the program.....I bet the girls could beat the boys team!
Everyone likes to chirp when you are between the lines,boards,hardwood, you name it players will chirp!
I would say that the girls could be the boys but thats comparing apples to oranges, girls hockey and guys hockey is 2 different games and its pretty hard to compare the two. I believe Warroad played the USA womens NATIONAL team and (played by womens rules too...I think) beat them a few years ago. -
Sssssssssssssssank you...should be a solid middle, right now I think it could go Mauer-Young-Morneau-Cuddyer-Kubel. With this move, the Twins have three of the best young hitters in baseball.
They probably got the short end of the shortstop swap, however. Harris is a better hitter, but Bartlett's defense overshadows the advantage Harris has on offense. I would say Harris is in line for a move to second base when all is said and done.
You wouldnt put Mauer as your leadoff guy would you? I would put him at maybe a 3 spot in the line-up with some speed at the 1-2 spot then work your way down with mauer, young, morneau, cuddyer, kubel, however you want them guys.

its a dead link
IDK if this is the same deal you are talking about but the trade involves...Matt Garza, Jason Bartlett, and Juan Rincon to the Rays for Delmon Young, Brendan Harris, and Jason Pridie.
-
Nothing is official yet, but this is just what I suspected. A young arm for a good, young hitter.
Twins, Rays looking to deal.
its a dead link

I'm glad you were in the clubhouse on a daily basis to find this leadership out. With Hunter beginning this season at 33 yrs of age, he will continue to lose that "step" in center. He has an above average arm but has never been accurate which, aside from Shannon Stewart (see super soaker for his arm strength), means just as much.
Yes, he was the face of the franchise but baseball is a business and you DO NOT pay an aging center-fielder that much money for five years and consider it a good business decision. It's a promise that the Angels will be shocked when Hunter resorts back to his career .270 avg. with 20 hr's a year.
I agree that they will lose a good guy and a good player, but at this point in his career resigning him would've been bad business. The front office guys have been running the franchise the same way for the last fifteen years (developing talent then trading for young guys), and Hunter is not going to do anything to change that.
His leadership was very well known, you didnt need to be in clubhouse to know...plus I know the equipment manager for the twins and i also have met Torii and had a few drinks with him and Matt Brunson (9th overall draft pick, 2nd infielder taken after A-Rod, drafted same year as Torii Hunter), so I do know what his personality is like. I am not arguing the fact that they should've kept him, I agree with his age and the long contract he wanted it would've been stupid for the Twins to succumb to his demands. There are other outfielders that can take over CF just as good and are younger. That is the Twins motto...give younger players a chance.
I have heard some rumors that Erstad might be in a Twins Uniform next year, hopefully this isnt true because it would be a big mistake just like R. White was!
-
I just woke up, but I think that's going to take the cake for the dumbest thing I'll read all day. Cuddyer had a higher OBP than Hunter did, so that means that teams will pitch around Morneau even less. If anything, Morneau's numbers will go up.
Also, depending on who plays centerfield next year, it could be an upgrade from Hunter.
Whoever place CF next year for the Twins will not even come close to Torii! Torii was the FACE of the TWINS and he gave it is all day in and day out. The thing that the Twins will miss the most is his clubhouse presense! Torii understood how the Twins did business (i.e. small ball, hit and run, stuff like that) and when players got a little big headed he brought them back down to earth (see Torii punching Morneau).

I think that the Royals could've built a solid foundation around young players and a few older guys, much like the Diamondbacks did this year. The Pirates are completely different. They continue to make absolutely insane decisions (Matt Morris, anyone?) and can't figure out if they want old talent, young talent, or just talent at all. I think the Royals took a step in the right direction by signing Meche (who I didn't think much of prior to this season), which has proved to be pretty good as he's developed in to a top-15 starter in the American League. They have a ways to go, however.
I'm extremely excited to see what the Rays can do in the next few years. They have a bunch of young guys still on their rookie contracts, so they won't anything over the next few years. They could possibly win the division in the 2010-11 range. They will probably be able to trade Baldelli for some bullpen help this offseason. They will have three very good pitchers in the next few years and budding stars in the field (Upton, Dukes to name two).
Beating the likes of the Yankees and Red Sox...I dont think the Rays can but who knows! It would be nice to see them win the division. I have heard on some websites though (I would have to look back into it again) that Kazmir has been mentioned in a few trades.
God I can't wait for Baseball to start again!
How sad are the Twins

I guess the Twins might be filing tampering charges against the Yankees!
