WilliamTell Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Apr 29, 2008 -> 07:09 PM) are 20-something Iowans more likely to move to Chicago or Minneapolis? sorry it's taken me long to reply, I was busy. But most of them in Northern Iowa, where I'm from, go to Minneapolis, although I do know some that go to Chicago and Kansas City. Des Moines and Cedar Rapids or pretty popular for the Iowa towns.

santo=dorf Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 GMs will give one. They're funny like that. I dunno, I mean with one year left on his deal you cant expect worthwhile prospects. and jon always with the 4+ ERAs Jason Jennings fetched a nice return for the Rockies before the 2007 season. Randy Johnson to the Astros was a gold mine for the Mariners and he only had half a year left on his contract. At the time of the trade the White Sox gave up the minor league player of the year and their supposed future catcher for Freddy Garcia who only had half a year left.

WilliamTell Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 The Twins announcers said that Torii Hunter crashing into Jamie Burke in 2004 did more for the White Sox than the Twins. The White Sox got tougher and played harder and ended up winning the World Series in 2005. There could be some truth to it, never really thought about it.

Thome had some wrist issues, and he was unable to turn on the ball. JD was awesome, of course. I'm pretty sure Crede sucked big time the last month as well.

It's just not something that happens that often and isn't easy to do. GMs don't like to give up good players for rent-a-players they aren't sure they can sign extensions if they can avoid it at all.

daa84 Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 i love the patience our team has had this year but coming into this game you have to know that the twins arent gonna walk anyone...and its really frustrating watching us taking strike 1 with fastballs right down the middle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freddy was doing pretty good for Seattle at the time of that trade... 3.20 ERA in 15 starts. And Unit is Unit. Jon Garland, meanwhile, was doing what he always does, which isnt going to knock socks off w/ one yr left on the deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliamTell Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Bonser has had only 7 runs in 5 starts coming into tonight. He's had 3 this game, and could get more. I guess it's not that surprising to me that the Twins would decided to help Bonser out against the Sox of all teams but the way the Sox are approaching the plate, just one or two runs would be enough for a win.

fathom Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 The next step for Gavin is to get better command of his fastball. He's making a lot of hitters miss on his offspeed stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
