Nathan's gotta go

I cringe when Nathan comes in for a non-save situation. But when the game is on the line, there is no one else on the team I'd rather have go out there.

Neshek is the closer of the future, but right now, its Nathan all the way.

I have to agree that Nathan has not been as lights out as he had been the previous the past couple of years, but I don't think I want see him traded and Neshek placed in the closer role. I think Neshek is very valuable in the role that the Twins have used him over the last year. You can count on him coming in late in a game and holding a lead for one inning plus. I think if Neshek is moved to the closer role and Nathan we would be VERY THIN in the pen. The only other middle man I have any faith in is Guerrier who deserves a lot of credit thus far.

Nathan has been nothing but solid since arriving to the Twins. The problem with the franchise is not the pitching, hitting, coaching or the GM. It's the ownership. They got their stadium and now it's time to pay up. We are not a small market team. We are a mid market team with one of the richest owners in sports. Don't let yourself be brainwashed by the idea that we can't afford keep Santana, Hunter, Nathan, and Morneau. Nathan is one of the top 3 closers in Baseball and should be paid like it. Johan was exactly right. There comes a time when we need to stop looking at the future and worry about right now. With an additional bat or 2 and the current lineup we could contend next year. If they let 2 of the 4 guys listed above go in the next 2 years I will be extremely upset with the poooooor Polads. If this team is such a burden SELL IT!!! I think most fans are willing to deal with a few lean rebuilding years as long as the ownership is willing to spend the cash when we've got a shot. Now is our chance SPEND THE $$$$.

Top 10 or top 3 he gets the job done. If we move Neshek to closer who takes Neshek's spot? The bullpen is not what it once was. Rincon and the rest of them suck. Why get rid of what works? Keep what works and add some help.

Nathan must go to sign Santana simple as that. Check this ESPN article out.

Geez your just like a politician Sled make up your mind you originally wanted him gone because you didn't think he was any good or he was doing a poor job now you spin it that he needs to go to sign Santana using an article that states the reason being Nathan is as DOMINANT in his own way as Santana is.

Make up your mind please.... grin.gif

MLB badly needs a salary cap or something similar

Never happen though. All contracts would be declared null and void to make that happen- lawsuits and probably a permanent strike would ensue and MLB couldn't afford that. We have to face facts that team owners like Pohlad do have the money to sign big names, they just won't do it- they'd lose money every year. Minnesota fills seats in sept-oct during post season, but in the middle of may against the Devil Rays or Royals, the place is 3/4 empty. I really can't wait until this new roof-less stadium opens- in april that place will be a ghost town unless the weathers really nice.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      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.
