And Twins! (The Twins talk and pick-up thread).

If I make it, I might try for Mauer since his lines are going to be down.

Why do you think Mauer lines will be down?

And Ill take this bet "If I make it"

Everyone on Neshek's said they would be, so I took their word for it.

That's all speculation at this point. Will Morneau's line be down? If anything, his could be up since I think people will wonder how much longer he'll be around. Joe will always be here, and his lines will always be big.

I guess I won't try for him. I was hoping for some smaller lines, but if not, oh well

Wait, giving up already? Plan ahead and hes a piece of cake to get....
However in your case Taylor, maybe I should say dont plan ahead, best if you wing it, seems to work out better for you bud

And I agree with the above, no Thome, no Kubel/Cuddy (possibly), no big name signing means Mauer and Morneau will be the focal points of autos. However, the St Paul paper did write yesterday that the team is working on getting Nishi here for Twinsfest and then getting his ass to Florida to be ready for ST. If that is the case, Nishi will be a top 3 draw, just for the fact that he doesnt have any autos out there. Other than those three, boring boring boring this year.

Agreed. Hes a great guy. He comes to my monthly Holdem Poker tourneys too. He sells the cheapest wax around too.

First list of signers for Twinsfest is out. This'll always change, so don't get too excited about who is and isn't there. Lots of contracts left to be signed by then.

Current Players/Coaches:
Scott Baker, Nick Blackburn, Alex Burnett, Drew Butera, Jamey Carroll, Alexi Casilla, Cole DeVries, Scott Diamond, Ryan Doumit, Terry Doyle, Brian Dozier, Brian Duensing, Ron Gardenhire, Gene Glynn, Jeff Gray, Carlos Gutierrez, Chris Herrmann, Aaron Hicks, Jim Hoey, Jeff Manship, Joe Mauer, Justin Morneau, Chris Parmelee, Carl Pavano, Glen Perkins, Trevor Plouffe, Ben Revere, Tyler Robertson, Rick Stelmaszek, Anthony Swarzak, Rene Tosoni, Danny Valencia, Joe Vavra, Jerry White, Kyle Waldrop, Alex Wimmers

Former Players:
Juan Berenguer, Bert Blyleven, Rod Carew, John Castino, Scott Erickson, Dan Gladden, Dave Goltz, Mudcat Grant, Kent Hrbek, Jim Kaat, Corey Koskie, Tom Kelly, Gene Larkin, Tim Laudner, Paul Molitor, Jack Morris, Al Newman, Tony Oliva, Frank Quilici, Brian Raabe, Jeff Reardon, Roy Smalley, Terry Steinbach, Dick Stigman, Kevin Tapani, John Gordon

I think I'll need to get Jim Kaat this year, and I need Erickson on a couple 1991 items. No Dinkelman, :evil: but like I said, it can change!

Barring a change in plans by Pavano, I would say pretty darn good!

Might be tough getting Mijares now unless we re-sign him

Might make this card a little more valuable if anyone is interested. Not sure if it really does though since Josh is in Marlins uni. Just figured i'd post it and let you all decide.

Haha yeah. I wish I could get into the cities more for this stuff, but being as far away as I am, I can only make the stuff that comes out my way.

I am going to start driving myself into the cities now so I can make more signings and shows. I miss out on a lot being down here.
