I thought Hurdle would get the boot there. He got a lot out of guys. Pirates in the playoffs takes me back to the 60s/70s(screw the Leyland years)

Should they be in on it if Price becomes availabe?  Yes. 

Will they be?  No.

Should they miraculously get him...what will happen?  He'll be Rick Andersoned.  He'll have all his strenghths stripped away and he'll look like another version of pre-Pittsburgh Liriano.

Unfortunately he will probably be out of baseball before the Twins make the postseason.

He was a 1970s Drew Butera.

How in the hell did he make the All-Star team in 1976?

Must have hit well in the 1st half of the season.

Couldn't have been the lone rep with the years Madlock and Monday had.

Must be the "Minnesota Nice" thingy Ed.
If I had my way, we would be seeing a complete new coaching staff, keeping Steinbach and Cuellar only....need some new blood and baseball insight as long as we are starting from scratch again.....again!!

As long as we dropping some guys, TR and the Pohlads need to go also.
Wish Mark Cuban would invest in the AL Twins....we would see lots of changes!!!

Wouldn't be of much use around here, then.

But agree with Ed: I haven't missed him for a second.
