    Hmm. While he has not lost a lot of velocity, his 4SFB spends too much time up in the zone. At 94, it was okay, but not at 92? When I watch him, it looks like he's throwing in the high-80's. I hope the hitters don't feel the same.

    What's going on with Buxton?
  3. purplesoldier4u
    Nope. They'll be fine at the 3.
  4. purplesoldier4u
    I was extremely high on petty and never really high on Gray. I think the Twins got steamrolled on this one.
  5. purplesoldier4u
    I ain't got the words.

    Funny thing is, Gleeman hailed many of these moves or non-moves and he serves as a resident expert of sorts? Note: If AG thinks it's a good move, it probably isn't.
  7. purplesoldier4u
    No excuses.
  8. purplesoldier4u
    It shouldn't be that difficult parsing and purging players from this woe begotten roster.
  9. purplesoldier4u
    The Twins are a joke!

    "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.

    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.
  12. purplesoldier4u
    No big deal.
  13. purplesoldier4u
    Slim pickings, mates.
  14. purplesoldier4u
    Huh? " ... and he is great at first base." No, he really isn't.
  15. purplesoldier4u
    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.
  18. 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.

    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.

    In addition, Cron and Schoop were relatively high-impact bats during the first half of 2019.

    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.
  22. purplesoldier4u
    Sure. That and the 5/118 that the Phillies gave him. Rumor has it that only the White Sox offered more.
  23. 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.
  24. purplesoldier4u
    I disagree. I used to hang with a bunch of wrestlers and boxers that used them to make weight.
  25. 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!
