Twins 40-Man Updates; GO-GO v. LNP GAME 5 GAME THREAD GET MONEY

Before we get to the game thread, you may have heard the Twins did some tinkering with their 40-man roster today. If not, you should know that you may have seen the last of Rene Rivera, Matt Tolbert, Jason Repko and Anthony Slama in Twins uniforms, as they've all been outrighted to Rochester and are eligible for the Rule V draft. Lavelle has all your details here.
I don't think any of those names are too surprising, with the possible exception of Slama, but as LEN3 notes, he's coming off an injury and will be 28 next season. This leaves two open spots on the 40-man roster for, one assumes, Albert Pujols and C.J. Wilson. (Feel free to speculate about actual spot-fillers below.)

First Pitch: 7:05pm CDT

Key Players:
Carlos Gomez
#27 / Center Field / Milwaukee Brewers
6-4

Former Twin. My late grandmother would say that he's "touched." Will pimp a 4-hop single down 7 runs the same as he would a game-winning home run.
Nick Punto
#8 / Short Stop / St. Louis Cardinals
5-9
190
B

Nov 08, 1977
Former Twin (so much so that the stock photo still has him with his scuffed-and-scarred TC helmet). Will go out there and compete.
St. Louis wins here, they've got a shot; lose, and I think Milwaukee has to be the prohibitive favorite. What say you?
Enjoy the game, everybody.

I just want this series to go 7 games
I originally picked the Brewers because they deserve their first shot at the World Series since the days of Yount and Molitor. But if we’re going based on my favorite former Twin on the roster, it’s LNP all the way.

I never get sick of this photo.
If only it was a pic of Punto as a Twin…

Very visible
Around 10 or so it should be due east at about 30 degrees elevation. It’ll be the brightest thing in the sky other than the moon. It then rises and eventually sets in the west. It’s been doing that for weeks (crazy planets).

Maybe its just because I've only really known the DH in my fandom,
but I have nothing against the Dh. I think its what makes interleague fun and having two leagues with two slightly different rules is kind of fun too. It makes pitchers batting a novelty for AL teams (and well most NL teams too I guess)

I have two opposite opinions on it
The DH gives some great players a chance to extend their careers (thank you, Thome).
On the other hand, pitchers batting makes the manager’s job more interesting.

would make me sometimes drop my arm down weird and screw up my arm slot that I usually throw and my throws were less accurate.

Who else needs a 1B enough to pay him what he's worth?
Not the Yanks or RSox. WSox maybe, if they think Konerko is close to finished? Angels? Rangers?

Giants maybe?
He’s a National League guy and I admit to not being as up on my National League teams.

Maybe the Cards...
if they can’t keep Pujols. But then, who needs Pujols and can afford him?

They have Brandon Belt as an up and comer at 1st
That is, if they ever play him.

LNP striking out to end the inning
Fitting, somehow.

Okay, since it's clearly not going 7 at this point, this is what I want
LNP fields the last out and the Cardinals mob him and strip his jersey off again.

Wow, Jon Jay
Nice catch

Magic Fscking Unicorn, indeed
Cast off by the Twins, the tiniest superhero is going to the World Series.
Is it LaRussa who cries all the time?
Or Leyland?
Or both?

It’s not a runaway the way the ALCS was, so I think they’re waiting for the trophy.

My favorite cocktail bar is Drink in Boston. But that’s a different kind of drinking for a different kind of night.

Well.
There’s Shakers in Geneva. All drinks are served in the full shaker. Then you shake it multiple ways.
But yeah.

There's a bar like that in Boston
$20 cocktails, but that’s because each cocktail is in the shaker and twice the size of a normal cocktail.

So the commentators have already decided Fielder won't be with the Crew next year
Are they a fortune cookie?
They claim Fielder said as much
And given his near tearing up, I think they might be right.
by ColossusOfRhode on Oct 17, 2011 12:33 AM EDT up reply actions
I just can't see him elsewhere.
But if he’s already saying that…
If you take this year as the benchmark, he’s worth $15-20 million. But if you average the last four years, he’s worth $12-16. Hmm.
by spanspanspan on Oct 17, 2011 12:44 AM EDT up reply actions
I think he's looking to go for as much as he can get
I bet he goes in the $15-20 mil range. Possibly to… okay, I’m not sure. Brandon Belt ruined my Giants theory and the other big market teams have first basemen.
by ColossusOfRhode on Oct 17, 2011 12:46 AM EDT up reply actions
Okay, Billy Beane
That makes a lot of sense… but I think players are getting paid for their most recent season and not much more. People seem to have short memories.

They made that movie
It was called The Wizard of Oz.

And runs into lions and men made out of metal and straw in the woods
Plus all the witches, specifically that evil pink one who lies to her and keeps her in her nightmare until she vanquishes the pink witch’s enemy.

And I can’t explain.
But one of my favorite lines from any movie is Dorothy saying, “What would you do with a brain if you had one?”

It sounds very Lewis Carroll
I like “If you don’t care where you’re going, then you’ll surely get there if you just go somewhere” from Alice in Wonderland. I think I’m paraphrasing.
