    Like who? He is probably the best we have or can get on this team. Why let him go? He certainly has move value than others. Kepler needs to go if Sano needs to go.
  2. MABB1959
    What would you do if you were Buxton? If the Twins were to match or go a little above a Boston, NYY, Dodgers....where would you sign? I would take less money to go to a team that puts it out to go all the way every year instead of sticking with a team of consistent 10 year rebuilds that never really happen. I am so excited to see Berrios pitch tomorrow I can feel the playoff excitement. I was not as "attached" to Cruz but it would be fun to see the Rays follow the Buccaneers and Lighting with a WS title. So hoping for Toronto or Tampa Bay to go to the WS.

    IMO, they will trade him before they have to pay him more. Very very sad! I like him as a player and when Buxton goes he will be all we have left from our "contending" (LOL) team. We have been or already starting another 10 years of rebuilding so why not let him go to a real contender.
  4. MABB1959
    Does anyone else worried that this week will be the last week we see Buxton in a Twins jersey or will it be next years trade deadline?
  5. MABB1959
    1. Medical staff? 2. Waiting too long to bring players up. Seems at least with pitchers they have already or now have injuries? I don't know if it would help without a good medical staff. 3. Berrios leaving is going to have a long term effect.
  6. MABB1959
    Austidillo! Give him consistent playing time. Bench Kepler and let Willians play. He has better numbers and gives off good positive energy whenever and where ever he play. 200 less at bats then Kepler and only 10 fewer HRs.

    All out Champions would be 1991 and the Twins right?

    I found some fun in baseball again during this sad Twins season. Watching the AL East race for the playoffs is so exciting. Of course I am pulling for Toronto and hope either the Blue Jays or Rays go to the WS. Imagine Berrios pitching in the WS or Nelson Cruz up to bat. It is what we were supposed to have this year.
  9. MABB1959
    It is nice to see the good competitive games we all love. Just a question.....by all this recent winning are they moving down in draft pick order? It doesn't seem like they could move to far either way.
  10. MABB1959
    How about Kepler? He seems to fly under the radar. The guy has a .210 batting average with only 41 RBIs for the whole season. I have heard he has a team friendly contract but a guy with a .210 batting average should be looked at for being replaced
  11. MABB1959
    Have there been any discussion about the Twins medical staff and the ability to keep players (mostly pitchers) healthy? So many injuries and the pitchers barely ever make it to the 7th inning so I don't think they could be contributed to overuse?
  12. MABB1959
    Worth it? Trades with NYY alway make me nervous. Luis Gil
  13. MABB1959
    Why? We want good players. Who would you want instead?
  14. MABB1959
    Exactly. I am one of those who longs for a stable line-up. I have completely stopped watching. Hoping for a way to catch Berrios pitching tomorrow for Toronto otherwise absolutely no reason to watch. I can glance at Game Day if I want to or read the box scores tomorrow to keep up a little. IF Buxton comes back this year I could be enticed to watching regularly again. But you all probably know by now I have to watch on my iPad which I absolutely HATE.
  15. MABB1959
    Of course they are going to say they want to stay or "act" sad to leave. Buxton won't sign and Berrios made it clear he was going the free agent route. That is where I get my information from. If you were high caliber player wouldn't you want to go to a team that has a chance at the WS more than every 30 years or wins more 1 playoff game in 10? Also from my currently glass half empty view we are always one prospect away and when they finally go get a quality player they let them go for more prospects?
  16. MABB1959
    Perhaps I am wrong but I heard players can have teams they can't be or do not want to be traded to in their contracts. The way Berrios and Buxton can't wait to get out of here tells me some of the players mentioned in the article and comments might have the Twins on the "you can't trade me there". First is that true? If it is do you think many of the all-star type players have the Twins on their list?
  17. MABB1959
    So a HUGE miss one our 2017 #1 draft pick. That is pathetic!
  18. MABB1959
    Happy for Berrios and happy that I have no reasons to watch until or if Buxton gets back. Hate watching on my iPad!
  19. MABB1959
    I certainly would not expect a SS when we have one waiting? I guess if the are moveable, but still makes little to no sense when we need pitching.
  20. MABB1959
    Why get a SS when we have Royce Lewis in the wings? Or isn't he anymore. Wasn't he first round, first pick WAY BACK IN 2017? Most of the times none of this makes any sense. So we got a pitching prospect and a SS prospect for one of the best pitchers we have had in the last 20 years?
  21. MABB1959
    We don't seem to have prospects stuck behind any major leaguers or barely any that are ready. Are you calling this team not sucky or a good team? We won a couple of division titles, not a huge feat in the ALC. We never even win a post season game yet advance to the next round. We rarely develop our prospects and when we do (Buxton and Berrios) we don't have the ability or money to keep them. This team is really bad, horrible, unwatchable or whatever you want to call it.
  22. MABB1959
    I feel for any player or prospect that gets traded to MN. It would be like the player in the movie 42 who got traded to Pittsburgh because they were unwilling to get on board and play with Robinson. Not really sure if it was Pittsburgh but it was a sucky team and no player wanted to go there. I wonder if we are on the no trade list of many of the great players today and that is why we get stuck with prospects or older veterans. To clarify....we were lucky to get a veteran like Cruz but is he here? NOPE! Will we see the prospects we got for him in the near future? DOUBT IT!
  23. MABB1959
    they need both Berrios and Buxton no matter the cost. I don't think one will want to stay w/o the other. We need both to contend and they both want to be contenders.
  24. MABB1959
    Don't let all this baloney (putting it nicely) make you feel better about anything. Once again the Twins get by without giving out the big payday and they can say "we tried". They have put us through this for YEARS now. First and foremost, is they struggle to get prospects here, healthy and MLB ready. They spend their years at AAA and by the time they get here it is always too late. They need a new medical staff and a staff that can get the propects here before they are 30. Our last first round pick Royce Lewis is no where to be seen. Berrios and Buxton were the guys and now that it is payday time they are going to trade for more prospects or let them walk next year. Am I the only one who sees this glass half empty scenario that plays out time and time again!
  25. MABB1959
    Where to send Kepler? 2nd WORST BA in the lineup today? Is he Dozier 2.0? I loved Dozier and never saw him going out like he did!
