The Twins have acquired left-handed pitcher Tommy Milone from the Oakland Athletics in exchange for outfielder Sam Fuld. Milone made 16 starts for Oakland this season and posted a 6-3 record with a 3.55 ERA (96.1 IP, 38 ER). He will report to Triple-A Rochester. Additionally, the Twins have recalled first baseman Kennys Vargas from Double-A New Britain to take the spot of Fuld on the 25-man roster.

Why would they send him to Rochester... He is better than what they have now as a starting pitcher. He could be their ace on the Twins staff.

What I find funny about this trade is Fuld was originally in Oakland this year but the Twins Claimed him off waivers smile So basically get him for free, then drive the value up and turn him into something needed....Nice!

Not a bad deal at all. Fuld showed very little, how the heck did they get a viable rotation guy for him?

With our recent track record you can almost guarantee he will make the 2015 AL All Star Team.

Now they need to fire Rick Anderson and get a real pitching coach in to help these young prospects

I agree 100%. We can get all the new pitcher's we want but without a better than average pitching coach, they will not improve. Trouble is, until Gardy is gone, Anderson I am sure stays.

We do have a coaching issue and have had one for some time, seems we trade away a lot of players who shortly after leaving the Twins, end up playing a lot better with a better than average amount getting into the all star game.

Only thing I can say is that our coaching lacks, we trade them away and then bingo, they are so much better. Maybe the Twins mgmt. Do not have eyes to see this.

Personally, I would trade away Mauer if we could get much for him the last years of his contract. be nice to dump that spendy contract and then maybe get 1 or 2 decent starters. I know this won't happen but one can dream.

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
