Here is who I could care less if the Twins traded right now:
Morneau - Soft and a crying B
Casilla - Hitting suspect and D sucks ass
Slowey, Perkins, Nathan, Pavano, Liriano - Whatever value we can get for these guys we need to get
Kubel - I dont want him to leave, as he is our best hitter right now IMO, but he might get the most bang for the buck

Need to keep IMO:
Mauer - I guess you dont sign a guy to that big of a contract and just try and dump him the next year, right? ;)
Nishi - Once hes back, hope he brings a spark
Valencia - One more year, I give him one more year and then the Twins may need to look at 3rd base again
Span - Like his game, wishing he was more of a vocal person in the dugout, a la Hudson
Cuddy - I know hes not putting up the best numbers this year, but the guy plays hard EVERY single day, will play wherever you need him, do what he can to make this team competitive.

The ones not mentioned above, I could go either way, if they stay, they will hopefully help this team, if they get traded, hopefully we get something decent in return:
Young
Duensing
Thome
Capps
Plouffe

I agree, if this team would have been healthy all year long, I think we would be looking at the standings differently.

But if come all star break, this team is still struggling, the Twins will become sellers and look at filling up some gaping holes for the future IMO.

Great time at the game, Thome killed that first homerun, not sure what the hell happened with the Valencia K where the ump didn't signal, and did well again with the autos right before the game after warmups, Span and Valencia on the cap, Span on the blue /520 same card as the plate, Valencia on a 2011 Topps, and Plouffe on a BDPP blue /199. I'll get pictures up in the morning

Taking my son to the game tonight, very excited. I'd like to see the player statues and the big baseball glove, can someone help me where they are at? I seem to recall one being by the back of the Target Center. Also, is it better to park on 7th Street and walk over? Looking to find cheaper parking and not get bottled up after the game. I'm not sure how much time we'll have pregame but want to see as much as possible.

Nice that Twins do sign some before the game.
Is Nishi close to returning?
Anybody going after the Twins rookies in 2011 Bowman.

I've been picking up a few here and there in some trades. Just bought the Twins in one of Andrew's breaks tonight. Let's see some color!

Who is considered better of Salcedo and Arcia. These are the only two in Bowman for rookies???

Arcia looks like he may have a chance. Just little bit I read about him. Salcedo looks like at best a middle of road starter for his ceiling.

Danny Valencia and Matt Tolbert are signing at the Rosedale mall this Saturday at 11 am, if any others of you are in the metro. I might have to hit this up.

Did anyone know Span's first name is Keiunta? Wouldn't have known that if someone didn't ask for his full name on his auto

For those of you wanting/wishing for a Nishi signing, FanHQ is doing a private one with him, limited to 75 items, so get in quick on this one if you want an auto.

I'm down on his Topps card, if someone can get it signed for me.

Love the Valencia in Red Ink... I am going to add a red sharpie to my graphing arsenal.

If you are talking about Nishi, it is a private signing, you need to send it in.
