    I didn't realize Dyson's numbers were that good. A WHIP under 1? Nice. There's a Dyson vacuum joke to be made here but I've had a long day.

    Yeah looking at what they are selling and I'm thinking, yeah I'd like all 4 of those guys on the Twins lol.

    Felipe Vázquez is my answer because he's really good at baseball (this is the big one) and on a great contract. You've gotta deal some prospect capital at some point. Maybe not go full blown Dombrowski, but this club is gonna need a little more life in the bullpen if they hope to get by the Yankees and Astros in the playoffs.

    One thing you're not calculating in is people getting injured in the future. I think for that reason alone, Arraez is likely to stay for longer than you think. Unless a catcher gets hurt and that creates a different problem. So we'll see.

    Had to work tonight so I missed the game. Thanks Thieres for the great write-up, it's like I was there! Couple of thoughts 1.) Though I largely agree with you, TD is gonna have a field day in regards to the above quote. 2.) Ryne Harper struck out the side in the seventh. Pretty neat. I think he's a good example of the fact that velocity isn't everything and I always think of him as like a bullpen version of Rich Hill with that curve of his. 3.) Buxton. That hit had no right to be a double. Nevertheless, he persisted. What a ballplayer.

    Mitch does rhyme with snitch. I think you're on to something here. Hadn't thought of this. Don't care for it.
  7. railmarshalljon
    Castro's last season with the Astros was '16, so second season. Also, Keuchel is a ground ball pitcher, which makes the infield offense a bit more important than outfield defense.
  8. railmarshalljon
    I'm drawing 2 conclusions from this article. First, signing free agent relievers is a total crap shoot, even with guys with decent track records. And either the Yankees are targeting the right players or they're simply better at putting them in a position to succeed. Either way, they're doing something right and I don't care for it.

    Whew, for a second I was worried there wouldn't be any knee jerk reactions about Sano in this thread.
  10. railmarshalljon
    Castro has an OPS of 1.025 this year lol. Not sure if he was feeling the heat from Garver or playing for his next contract but he's mashing in limited action this year. Platooning your catcher seems like a great idea though. Also, how many Twins will be represented at the allstar game this year? I would think Polanco is a lock while Odor is among the league leaders in various pitching categories. Anyone else I'm missing?

    If they fail, they reboot. Disney owns Star Wars now, so be prepared for them to do what they did to Marvel to Star Wars. There'll be clunkers along the way but that won't matter in the long run. Personally, I'm excited about the Jar Jar Binks Trilogy.
  12. railmarshalljon
    Couple of thoughts. This lineup is incredibly potent. If Sano comes back strong we're probably top 5 imo. The rotation currently is Pineda and Berrios and pray for snow. Gibson isn't quite in 2018 form yet but I have faith in him. Odorizzi could use and opener. Perez could use 2. This bullpen would look really good to me with another plus arm. Are any of those available that wouldn't cost any prospects? Maybe a bearded one with World Series experience.
  13. railmarshalljon
    I'm not sure how Buxton got so much on that throw without even really winding up. We got lucky that Harper made that ill advised tag there because Mejia looked pretty shakey today. Overall pretty good game, 8/10. 9/10 with rice.
  14. railmarshalljon
    Maybe I'm alone, but I personally have faith in this bullpen. I think it's got a good mix of arms that aren't all dependent on being flame throwers and most seem capable of going multiple innings. It would look a whole lot better with Romero in it but it's pretty understandable after the wretched spring he had.
  15. railmarshalljon
    With the way Romero has pitched this spring I'm ok with Harper making the roster. There's something about the way he throws that looks hard to square up. I can't back this up with anything, but that's the way it looked from that video. His curve looks pretty, I'd give him a shot.
  16. railmarshalljon
    Yeah I was mostly joking but I'm also a little curious what we'd do in that event. It will be interesting to see if he grabs a mitt when we play NL teams away. But Chili also pinch hit a homerun in game 3 (according to wikipedia). Maybe if his bat is in the lineup the whole game we actually take a road game and '91 isn't the greatest world series of all time?
  17. railmarshalljon
    The only problem I see with this signing Cruz is how are we gonna get him in our lineup come WS time? For away games are we sticking him in the outfield or do we give him a first basemans glove and hope for he best?
  18. railmarshalljon
    This is it. This is the year Buxton becomes a bonafide MVP candidate.
  19. railmarshalljon
    If y'all plan on putting Marwin Gonzalez as the likely backup for all positions know that I respect the hustle.
  20. railmarshalljon
    To be fair, we're the only team that has actually given him major league at bats. Based on the Twins calling up Bobby Wilson last year and not Astudillo, I think there are some legitimate questions surrounding his defense at catcher.
  21. railmarshalljon
    Hey Nick, what are your thoughts on David Banuelos? His Cedar Rapids numbers look a bit rough but that isn't everything. Where is he in your rankings?
  22. railmarshalljon
    I'd take a Super Bowl appearance. Or a World series appearance. Or a Stanley cup appearance. I've literally never seen any of those...
  23. railmarshalljon
    Which, imo, wouldn't be the worst line of thinking in the world. Castro's a 31 year old catcher coming off knee surgery. I imagine having good knees is important, especially if you're a bit light with the bat.
  24. railmarshalljon
    That's a beefy lineup I can get behind. But where is Mejia? Seems like he's being left out in this scenario. I suppose he could be part of the Iglesias deal as I don't think the suggested deal gets it done and Mejia is out of options.
