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

Jim Thome is making an appearance but it is for photos only.

You know the local hounds and dealers will be showing up in force with 600 HR stuff for him to sign. Playing dumb that it is for photo opps only. I wonder if some promoter/dealer already locked Jim up for some exclusive 600 HR type auto deal.

OK, I like Ben and his potential, but seriously, how shatty is his arm?
He's maybe 30 feet from 2nd and he still one hops it to 2nd, with the ball bouncing I would say at least 5-10 feet from the bag.
He definitely needs to work on his arm strength and throwing in the off season.

What do you think Plouffe's potential will be with the Twins?

Utility guy at best. Ceiling Nick Punto or career 4A type.

Finally got that Perk spectrum/50... USPS screwed up in terms of shipping time (I know it's not the sellers fault).

Beautiful card, sadly it's a sticker but that's alright.

Lets see it.

Sadly Perk has come back to earth and CAN'T GET ANYONE OUT ANYMORE. mAYBE HE IS BURNED OUT FOR SEASON.

He probably is done for the year. I hope he can come back strong next year.

I will get a pic up shortly.

Gonna be a rough game. Span on DL, Cuddy hurt, Kubel out, Hughes got lost at the airport, Tolbert hurt his wrist, and Mauer is playing RF

Why any rougher than the previous 100+ games?

No bench players and all of the best hitters out

I wonder if we can put Nishioka's translator into the game if they need a bench player?

Ball off of Plouffes glove for a hit, now off of Nishis glove for a hit.

Cant argue replay reversals, Gardy came out and had a verbal discussion, so was bound to get tossed if he didnt shut it quick, he didnt, nothing to see here

Wasnt a HR, it was a foul ball. FSN showed three replays, first one it was clearly foul, then they showed a different angle and gave the impression it was fair, then found a third angle and proved it was foul. Im sure if you searched hard enough, you could find the replays yourself.
