    Can’t argue with a single choice!

    I would the live the Twins to get a top of the rotation arm, I just don’t think Syndegaard is that anymore, the asking price doesn’t sound reasonable.

    I would put Rortvedt ahead of Jeffers.

    I would like to see a high ceiling college pitcher taken, granted I'm nowhere near a draft expert. There is a reason I'm commenting here on TD rather than whispering my pick into Falvey's ear!

    Smeltzer looks fairly comfortable on the mound so far.

    After reading the whole article, I think you were wrong on a couple players and what their actual value was. Jonathan Schoop bet on himself with a one year deal, after a horrible year, he was never, nor would he have historically received a larger contract after the season he had. Martin Perez has never been a good MLB pitcher, and no one would have given him a larger contract this year or ever with his performance.

    The Twins have more 6+ homer games than Astudillo has strikeouts!

    Rortvedt has an OPS of .824, Jeffers has an OPS of .668. Rortvedt is about 100 days younger.

    Great way to start the season!

    I think he meant Buxton and Lewis as the only outfielders.

    This is just plain bad luck, hopefully there are no other setbacks.

    MLB.com reports that Gonsalves has his velocity up to 93.

    I'm all for raising the minimum and moving up arbitration/free agent timeline. Paying minor leaguers more would also help the players in getting the portion of profits that they have earned. Putting in a payroll floor would help raise overall salaries, although I'm not sure if it would help the baseball middle class, or just the upper class. I do like South Dakota Tom's idea of a lottery for draft picks to stop teams from tanking.

    I do think that for the top players, if they wanted to sign lower years, with higher AAV, teams would be willing to do this.

    I was able to watch the game on TV, his control was horrendous. Gordon looked good, his last single should have been a double off the left field wall except he slipped rounding 1st.
  17. HrbekRules
    Nope

    According MLB.com Romero will be in the pen this year. I hope they use him as more of a super reliever, going multiple innings if needed, at crucial times, instead of a set role like closer. http://mlb.com/r/article?ymd=20190216&content_id=304051742&vkey=news_min&c_id=min

    I think that everyone can agree on moving the roster from 25 to 26. If MLB is proposing it I don't see how the MLBPA would oppose more players making major league money. Moving the September roster from 40 to 28, no thank you, I love September call-ups. Universal DH, although I am against the DH in a purist sort of way, its gonna happen at some point, so why not sooner than later, just rip the band-aid off. But 2019 can not happen as NL teams will need to be able to plan for it, so 2020 would work. Three batter minimum, while great in theory, I would worry about it in actual practice. 20 second pitch clock to me is a no brainer, as others have stated, just do it. Mound visits, going less than 5 to me isn't good, lets not get too into making changes. Again, although in theory, anti-tanking rules would be a good thing, in actual practice I'm not sure how it would actually work out, so I'd stay away from this one, but you could set a minimum amount that each club would need to spend on player payroll, this could help out and the MLBPA should be on board for that.

    If the Twins were close to contending, make the trade. The Twins are not close right now, save the assets for use later when they are close and need one piece to push the team over the top. If they go and sign Machado and Keuchel (not happening), then make the trade for Realmuto.

    I have nothing left but sarcasm at this point.

    Who else is excited for this season!
  23. HrbekRules
    This is more of a hope than a prediction. C- Garver/Rortvedt 1B - Rooker 2b - Polanco SS - Lewis 3B - Wander Javier LF - Kiriloff CF - Buxton RF - Larnach DH - Rosario
  24. HrbekRules
    I'm a big believer in Rortvedt myself!

    Looks like the front office knew who to add to the 40 man this year.
