    I would like to see a stable lineup. Let them start to jell and see what happens. Knowing you will be in the daily lineup or ever in majors could take off pressure to perform. Also would get the fans a team to get to know. I don't think the back and forth to the minors really helps. For some of the guys it is time to be able play a the ML level or be gone. A superstar like Correa shouldn't crack under the pressure of batting in the superstar prime position. He it too good for that.

    Seems a flaw the Twins have is drafting injury prone players
  3. MABB1959
    Is it negative to never expect this team to be contenders? I want to be optimistic but it is not easy.
  4. MABB1959
    I agree that they are in a good spot for the AL central and you can’t win every game and mistakes happen. But it is not early anymore. I think negativity comes because it seems like more often than not in late September the team always find themselves in the “need to win ## games to make the playoffs. The 1 game playoff never goes their way. That is what is frustrating about the giveaway games where they don’t play their best players. Glad to see Buxton not getting rest days mostly because he is DH and that shouldn’t require rest days. If I could have a wish, it would be to have a regular stable lineup.

    Centerfield probable's: Byron Buxton?
  6. MABB1959
    It’s May, think we will see Buxton in CF soon? Can’t wait!!
  7. MABB1959
    Sad for Majeda and Mahle. Not sure we got the best in either trade. Mostly lack of games played.
  8. MABB1959
    Just looking at batting averages. 4 guys last night under.200
  9. MABB1959
    The Yankees are a bad team this year!
  10. MABB1959
    I would love a stable regular lineup and fielding. Seriously if they didn’t have their names on their backs I would not know who is who. When I get notifications on my phone at times I don’t even know if the player is a Twin or not.
  11. MABB1959
    Or just let him play and whatever happens so be it. Another couple years like this will be depressing for fans and Buxton too.
  12. MABB1959
    I would compare the “Buxton Situation” closer to what the Twins experienced with Mauer. For us non-stat fans the excitement or expectations of having a superstar seem to be fading.
  13. MABB1959
    So far so AWESOME. So sad to lose Arrazz with a proven track record which could someday be greatness! I am glad the Twins seem to be realizing they need to pay for pitching instead of counting on their prospects. I need to try not to get too excited yet to avoid huge disappointment later.
  14. MABB1959
    Not disagreeing but aren't these early games just as important? Shouldn't we be fielding the best team all 162 games? I don't care really what he is getting paid. I want to watch him play. He is the most exciting player we have had in LONG time. I hate this modern baseball. It isn't a team anymore it is a bunch of stats and then pull the players off a merry-go-round based on those. Line-up should be consistent so us non-stat fans can get to know and love the team. I have said this many times. I wouldn't recognize but one or two Twins players if I was sitting at the same table with them. It isn't about players playing for the love of the game but making sure they make the most money. The owners care more about TV revenue than giving us the ability to watch the games.

    SO FRUSTRATING!!! How can it be justified? So what he stays healthy for the end of the season? While opportunities are lost at the beginning? Kind of a waste of the DH role? He was supposed to be paid for his CF and speed. He is a decent hitter but it seems now he can't steal? Needing an extra day off every week? If I could only do 1/3 of my job and needed an extra day off, I probably wouldn't have my job long.
  16. MABB1959
    Buxton was on a streak with the team. He was given a day off, the Twins lost and seems now Buxton is cooling off. Positives are Larnach and Castro. Scary start Solano, Gallow, Taylor. Super scary Miranda and Farmer. Not sure what to say about Correa I guess you could call it a slow start but we can't afford for him to not hit.
  17. MABB1959
    I wouldn’t call the hitting great. A few are doing good but last time I looked more than half of the batting averages were low 200’s. Yes it is early.
  18. MABB1959
    I could not believe Buxton needed a day off already. 4 games as a DH and he already needed a rest day. He was hitting very good. I don’t think a player should be pulled when on a streak.
  19. MABB1959
    That was fun. Just curious based on another comment I posted. Do you see any of theses qualities in Kepler?
  20. MABB1959
    I know it is only 1 game. If Kepler can’t average above .250 what should they do? I am np expert but I thought right field was typically a power hitter position. I have read his defense is above average, but how many runs does he save in a season? Worth a spot in the line-up if his hitting doesn’t improve. There has to be something behind the scenes making it worth it. He is very likable but not a real exciting personality.
  21. MABB1959
    Seems too early to decide. His average after one game is .000. Hopefully it is one of biggest surprise this season!
  22. MABB1959
    Traditionally isn't first base a power hitter?
  23. MABB1959
    The Twins need a player with power like Cruz was at DH. Isn’t the premise of a DH to be able to come up to bat with players base and hit a home run? I think Byron has “okay” numbers to bat 1-3 but even that is iffy. Much of his value is to prevent opposing teams from scoring, right? I love Buxton and hope he can become what we all expect. But it is super frustrating almost painful to watch this year after year! Last time I looked he had a 1.25 BA with a handful of at bats.
  24. MABB1959
    I guess I feel like this is what we get year after year after year and we watch and wait and wait. In just recent memory we got Polanco, a few years of Berrios and some but not enough from Buxton. So excited for Lewis but not sure what will happen there. Is there a top prospect I am forgetting about that is here and not often injured?
  25. MABB1959
    Just looking overall
