    "Trevor Larnach joined Kirilloff sooner than expected, but it’s hard to pick apart much of what he’s done this season. Even while slumping of late, the 24-year-old owns a .322 OBP and has shown plenty of power potential. He’ll run into more baseballs as his career progresses, and the discipline in the box has been a sight to behold." Huh? Sometimes he looks, almost, as lost as Sano at the plate.

    Beau Burrows? Could be worse.

    Any STH's used to go to the offseason pump-fests? Sounds like Pohlad and StP are ready for another rousing round of BS.
  4. purplesoldier4u
    Again, if the Twins can't do 5/80 (12, 14, 16, 18, 20) for both Berrios and Buxton, they might as well close up shop.

    Dave St. Peter?
  6. purplesoldier4u
    Hahahaha! Three spots away from having only one! ??? So, Falvey and Levine used their collective genius to field a horrible MLB team AND and very low rated prospect pool? In the words of Joe Mauer, "neat."
  7. purplesoldier4u
    No big deal.
  8. purplesoldier4u
    I think it's interesting that White Sox have the power-pitching that the Twins wanted. Sometimes, you have to go out and get it.
  9. purplesoldier4u
    Slim pickings, mates.
  10. purplesoldier4u
    Huh? " ... and he is great at first base." No, he really isn't.
  11. purplesoldier4u
    You're right! Even if I was to sign him, I would be looking for something around $25 million per season.
  12. purplesoldier4u
    The Twins should be in the mid 150's, like the Padres. Too bad the Twins' front office took an Fox RSN deal worth half of what the Padres received. That extra $40 million would have been pretty, pretty, pretty nice!

    I agree and there isn't a player on the entire team that isn't considered a trade asset. No superstars on this roster, for sure.

    This team misses James Rowson ... in a big way. Pretty much every player has started getting back to those sloppy and loopy swings that Bruno taught them.
  16. purplesoldier4u
    I don't believe he has HoF numbers, but one-and-done is ludicrous. While he never had the career of Pedro Martinez, Johan's 7-year run, 2002-2008, is somewhat comparable to Pedro's 1997-2003 run. Unfortunately, in his shortened career, with a not as great team, Johan had a few really bad post-season starts where the team needed him to dominate and he did not.
  17. purplesoldier4u
    I still don't think the starting pitching is high-level. Not sold on Berrios being anything more than a 15-win, 3.75 ERA pitcher. I hope I wrong, but we'll see.
  18. purplesoldier4u
    In addition, Cron and Schoop were relatively high-impact bats during the first half of 2019.
  19. purplesoldier4u
    If the rumor that the JD sweepstakes has reached 4/114 (because of the Dodgers) and the Twins are short of 4/<100, it's time to move on.
  20. purplesoldier4u
    Maybe the Sox went 5/120 and he still went with the Phillies. I bet the Twins, like many teams were in the 5/90 - 5/100 range. Not that it would ever happen, or that it should happen, but if the Twins (or any team) offered 5/140-150, his wife would have been okay with it. Take the "wife" stuff in context and with a grain of salt.
  21. purplesoldier4u
    Sure. That and the 5/118 that the Phillies gave him. Rumor has it that only the White Sox offered more.
  22. purplesoldier4u
    I think teams are driving up the price. 5/120 would be paying way too much, but it seems as though a number of team are past the 5/100 mark.
  23. purplesoldier4u
    I disagree. I used to hang with a bunch of wrestlers and boxers that used them to make weight.
  24. purplesoldier4u
    After Molitor's 2018 post-spring training shenanigans, LaMarre has turned baseball on it's side - one heroic feat after another. Quite possibly, he could be that "missing piece" that propels this team to a title!

    My mom suffered from Colitis for many years, as well as Crohn's Disease. I wish Gibson the best ... it was not easy for my mom, but today's treatments are much improved. Nonetheless, it could be a huge change in lifestyle for him ... depending on the severity.
