And nothing like being ‘forced’ into ice cream pudding and beer. You got insurance?

Speaking of food, had my wisdom teeth out yesterday, so I had been filling up on ice cream and pudding. Shit sucks. But now I’m filling up on beer, so all is well.

(Kyle Gibson, Alex Meyer, Trevor May). None of them are ready come April, and like I said already, there really isn’t much hope for this season with how the team as a whole is. So I’m not seeing what the point of having those guys rushed is.

I agree and am totally okay with being patient with those particular guys. I’d just rather see literally ANYONE other than the Deduno/Correia types. Even in the late 90s when the team was hopeless, they trotted out different guys all the time, like Benj Sampson, Mike Lincoln, Dan Perkins, Jason Ryan… and they were ALL terrible. But I’ll take the hopes of a young guy getting good over a “Welp, he eats innings” guy in his late 20s/early 30s.

The only thing against that guy (besides the walks) is that you know exactly what you’re getting from him at this point, he is what he is. I don’t understand the point of having these placeholder type guys. I’d rather see De Vries or some other minor leaguer that has a prayer of maybe getting better.

That’s fair.

The farm system is one of the best in majors right now, and three of their top 7 guys are starting pitchers (Kyle Gibson, Alex Meyer, Trevor May). None of them are ready come April, and like I said already, there really isn’t much hope for this season with how the team as a whole is. So I’m not seeing what the point of having those guys rushed is.

At least it’s a question of that kind of guy being a #5 starter or minor leaguer as opposed to needing him to be some sort of middle/high rotation guy that has to be around all year.

I haven’t looked at the Twins roster

Mauer, Morneau, and Willingham like you said. Hopefully Aaron Hicks (prospect) will be starting season at ML level. Middle infield looks like Jamey Carroll, Brian Dozier, Pedro Florimon, and/or Eduardo Escobar. Hot and cold Plouffe is around too.

Pitching sucks: Mike Pelfrey, Vance Worley, Kevin Correia are in rotation, Scott Diamond (who I really like) is starting season injured. I hate the bullpen minus the closer Perkins.

So yeah, 90-100 losses again, in all probability.

Ball one… ball two… ball three… ball four… ball one…

He’ll be erratic all year probably, yes.

/am stupidly optimistic about team come 2014

Twins (probable) #5 starter Samuel Deduno is pitching, so I hope not.

Hopefully there’s some offense in the championship game tonight
