    I'd trade Donaldson if the Twins didn't need to eat too much of his salary and/or give up too much with him as part of a package. But I don't think that would be the case, so I would have him play 3B about half of the time and DH the rest of the time. If you can, and if the Twins fail to get quality starting pitching (almost a certainty given the history of their ownership), and if Josh is having a good year, try trading him before the All-Star Game. And, of course, I would trade Donaldson for nothing if another team ate the entirety of his salary.

    I'd use him as a DH, pinch hitter, and as a spot infielder at 2B and 3B, and I would bat him quite early in the batting order, often as the lead off hitter to help chew up pitch count and to get on base for Polanco and others. I doubt any pitcher gotten back for him from a trade would be worth as much. Plus, sometimes you just need to keep fan favorites.

    Do these batters love Target Field… or Twins' Pitching? Twins need to get another quality starting pitcher, and not a #4 or 5 guy. Running out of available free agents out there, so probably best to trade for one.

    They're betting on Arraez being healthy soon, but probably not for today's game. We need Schoop at 2B.

    Twins got hurt at the wrong time of the year, and the Yankees have gotten healthy at the right time of the year. Twins' bullpen, though, is looking good. Strange as it may sound with these two homer-hitting teams, the series will come down to who has the the best pitching and defense.

    ALL of them. Rest Gibson for at least a couple of weeks. Set up at least two sets of rotating Opener/Bulk pitching teams, probably a lefty with a righty pairing, so Thorpe and Stewart Smeltzer and Dobnak And then, swap which of the two players does the opening for their next start. Let the opener of each pitching tandem pitch until they get through the opposing team's lineup once (2-3 innings). By seasons end, we might know if any of these guys can post-season.

    "Rip the governor off?" Is that a voice-to-text dictation error for "Rip the cover off"?

    Trade for some relievers… NOW! Don't wait. Set the market price; don't wait for "bargains."
  9. Einheri
    That was some Fugly Defense. Pity. The comeback was otherwise amazing.
  10. Einheri
    Twins should deal for relief SOONER than later. Instead of waiting for a late bargain, pounce now and set the price.

    Speedy recovery to Carrasco, hopefully. As for the Twins, trade for some quality arms.
  12. Einheri
    Thanks. That was an… um, interesting read.

    Sorry to hear that Kennys Vargas hasn't been able to make it work well in Japan either.
  14. Einheri
    Good luck in San Fran, Tyler, and welcome to Malique.
  15. Einheri
    It's a tough decision. I think Willians probably needs to see some time at 3rd.
  16. Einheri
    Congrats to Ryne Harper. Do everything you can to hold that roster spot.
  17. Einheri
    Yeah, I don't have much hope for Reed; but, at $8.5MM, you have to give him more chances than you might like.
  18. Einheri
    And Gordon was doing fairly well this spring. Good luck to Nick in triple-A this year. We'll see you soon, I'm thinking.

    It would have been fun to see the one-two combo punch of Liriano and Santana deep into the post season. Instead, it was painful watching Liriano leave the field that day (all the time knowing that he was feeling so much worse mentally and physically than I).
  20. Einheri
    I think many feel the Twins have a glut of outfielders, so Kepler playing some at 1B helps out with this. I don't think anyone expects he would play much at first.
  21. Einheri
    As part of their TV deal, weren't the Twins were given partial ownership of Fox Sports North? That has to make their TV deal more valuable than it seems. In a related note, I see now that Jim Pohlad has joined an effort to buy the entire Fox Sports Network.

    This read to me like an Onion article.

    Sign 'em all to incentive-heavy contracts that guarantee them a decent salary/lifestyle for years to come even if they get hurt during trainings and games, provides an average payout if they perform at an average level, AND overpays them a little if they perform exceptionally well. Why not structure salaries that are mutually beneficial?

    So it was Aaron Slegers who was cut from the 40-man to make room for Cruz.

    I wrote Twins dot com, and they basically said MAYBE next year would LOOK INTO allowing readers to post again. Sigh… I miss the crowd we had there posting regularly.
