  1. What's to hate about the Yankees? An owner that puts a competitive team on the field year after year? Stanton, Judge, Hicks, Gregorios?
  2. At the beginning of the year was this BP supposed to be improved over last year? Maybe it did. Doesn't seem like it.
  3. I thought they did a lot to improve the BP? The regulars seem to be really bad. Belisle 8.62 ERA, Busenitz 6.56 and rising, Duffey 9+ and so on. Maybe it was a different year I am thinking of.
  4. Good to know that you think Mejia will be better, not sure about Pineda, another player coming off an injury. Do you know any middle of the rotation that will be available AND want to come here. I was glad he said what he did. Dozier did the same thing last year.
  5. Can anyone tell me who will replace Santana both in pitching and mentoring? He is still good. I am hoping Berrios, Romero and Gibson can be very good and not just average. Who else?
  6. I think it is important to bring back Santana. He is a good pitcher (better than anything they would go out and get in free agency). Doesn't seem like there is much ready in the minors. Santana is a great mentor for the young Latino pitching staff.
  7. Why pull Berrios? He was having a good game.
  8. The current on field payroll is 56m with Mauer getting more that 1/3 of that. Only 6 others over 1m and 3 of those are pitchers who maybe play a game or two each week. Reed, Ordorizzi, Forsythe, Gibson, Grossman and Adrianza. I guess you get what you pay for.
  9. Except for Berrios, Gibson and Rosario I don't think any of our players would start on a contending team. I don't think the Twins can save Buxton or Sano. I think they need to go to a team that can help them. Maybe that is the end game either the Twins don't want to have to pay them or Buxton and Sano want to go. I assume next year we will be wondering what happened to Berrios. Hicks is doing very well surrounded by real MLB players. We have nothing. I think Berrios and Romero will suffer If they don't bring back Santana. He has been a good mentor for them. So many others have been allowed to slide this year. Kepler has been okay but not good. Dozier got his pass waiting for the 2nd half. Morrison who knows what but he finally has an "injury". Grossman probably wouldn't make a average team roster. Mauer is good but should be at another position but the Twins wouldn't pay for a decent 1st baseman anyway. They would try to find some old veteran. If we lose Santana that is going to hurt starting pitching. It is a mess and I don't think the minor leagues are going to save next year.
  10. In my extremely disappointed opinion, I have always thought they would find a way to get rid of Sano and Buxton before they were owed their big payday. It also seems they have a hard time working with the Latino players. Dozier got a pass all season long with the wait until the 2nd half. Kepler has not been good. Cave is "okay" hitting but his fielding is not even good. They kept Morrison forever. He finally "got an injury". They have been extremely tough on Santana but Gibson got about 5 years of passes. Grossman is okay but not a great player. We no longer have any great players. We have Rosario (very good) and Berrios (could be a Cy Young). Seems more than likely something will mess them up too.
  11. This along with how they treated Dozier and Escobar is going to hurt. No decent players will want to sign with this team. Seems it is already like this but not it may be worse. They have such a hard time working with some and let others (Kepler) slack. Nothing they do makes much sense any longer.
  12. Where should Cave play in the field? CF seems tough for him.
