Twins ink Jermaine Dye.

That is a very potent lineup right there. I like it!

is this going to be true or is this wishful thinking?

are you?

target field is almost exactly like the dome but who knows how it will play

will all of this actually happen IF it happens

Seattle is allegedly defense-centric. How and why would they want Delmon? The Twins wouldn’t give up on the kind of potential that both Liriano and Young possess. Dye has been exclusively a RF for years and the Twins already have a RF.

I just don’t buy this.

but its kind of exctiting to think about because i do feel something is going to happen and well vlad did get offered a contract by texas

that something along the lines of what mw3 said happens. I like the sound of that lineup.

do not want

twins ink dye to twins might ink dye its a little miss leading

this better be a rumor
it can’t be true

signing of Dye and trading for Trunifel and another
for Delmon Young and Francisco Liriano …. ?

no way

On board with this deal, except I’d rather see Perkins than Liriano go, and don’t think that would change the shake up of the deal much, except maybe throwing a prospect in, not a high one. Making it Perkins, Young, and low to mid-level prospect for Lopez, Triunfel, +1. That would give us a more consistent pop in the outfield, to go along with our already consistent Span, and mostly consistent Cuddy. It would enable us to have a few more homers in the lineup, and it gives us our third basemen for a while. Lopez is only 26 and hit 25 homers last year and batted .272 if I remember correctly. As for Defense, Dye can’t be much worse than Delmon, and his bat would make up for it, moreso than Delmon’s does. I see a lot of potential from Young, but for some reason he isn’t willing to tap it, and I think that if we send Liriano, It would suck, but it’s hard to get a gauge as to what he actually has, and if it’s Perkins we lose, Oh well, we have been pretty much privy to that fact from the start of the offseason. Ultimately I think this is a good deal, and enables us to put a strong lineup stacked with hitters on the field…although I must say that the lineup posted is flawed. Everyone knows Punto will start at second not Casilla unless we sign a real second baseman.

Lopez: Primarily a second baseman, exactly 25 innings at third base in his major league career. Career .303 OBP. Some pop for a second baseman, pretty worthless as a third baseman offensively until his .191 ISO rating last summer. He’ll just be 26 this year but, with a bat in his hands, his upside is Joe Crede. But he’s not Crede with the glove.
Triunfel: 19-year old MI prospect who didn’t play much last year, doesn’t walk. Good contact hitter.
Dye: Turns 36 later this month. Played RF exclusively since 2003. Exposing his already terrible defense to more action in left field is just stupid.

Those three (plus another minor leaguer) aren’t worth Liriano and Young. They just complicated things, give us filler that we don’t need and raise the payroll.

This is not reported anywhere. It doesn’t even seem plausible or reasonable. I call BS.

This is what we need:
CF: Span
2B: Hudson
CA: Mauer
1B: Morneau
RF: Cuddyer
DH: Kubel
LF: Young
3B: Garciaparra
SS: Hardy

Now THAT would be a great team!
