    I prefer to think of it as "Organizational Depth"

    Was good to see the improvement last year from Littell. Don't know how high of leverage situations I'd trust him in right now. Fortunately, they have plenty of guys for those.

    I love the strategy involved in the NL. I hate seeing pitchers try and hit. DH in the NL? Yes, please. With the money invested in starting pitching today, I'm surprised NL hasn't gone to DH by now. If you had someone like Gerrit Cole, would you want him hitting and running the bases??

    In 2022, the Sano/Donaldson combo mans 1B/DH

    CAN they wait? I think they can. SHOULD they wait? I don't think they should. FO would already be banking that at least one of the in-house candidates step up. But you are one DL stint for a starter away from big trouble. After mid-May, a DL stint for any of Berrios/Odorizzi/Pineda (or Bailey) would mean you are now banking on TWO of those in-house guys (Dobnak, Thorpe, Smeltzer) filling rotation spots. That makes me nervous.

    ...and having Marwin to give one of those guys a day off almost every day is almost an embarrassment of riches

    Assuming good health.....good heavens. This is gonna be so much fun!

    "Deal from depth". The list of OF on 40 man doesnt even take into account guys like Urbina, Wallner, Emmanuel Rodriguez. etc, who will be "next wave" behind the current "next wave" of guys like Kirilloff, Larnach.... NOT dealing from that depth would just be irresponsible.

    So 35 HR and 80 RBI.....at home!

    Anyone know Donaldson's career numbers at Target Field? We all know he's been an absolute monster there. Wonder what those would mean over 81 games in 2020.
  11. bobs
    Let's hope the Twins at least come close to last year's success if not surpass it. We still only have Berrios and Pineda under contract for 2021 for the rotation. Assuming at least as much success in 2020 as in 2019, I can't help but wonder if this signing might help the Twins convince FA SP to come here next offseason.

    Know who's really going to like this move? Homer Bailey!!
  13. bobs
    The signing of Donaldson should certainly help here.
  14. bobs
    Rumors were it was going to take 4yr/$110M. Does that mean we got a "steal" at 4/$92M?!...lol
  15. bobs
    Halle-freaking-luia!!!!!

    11. We've spent two months trying to answer questions for FO. Two months we'll know what this team will look like. 12. Spring Training means Opening Day is closing in which means winter ends! 13. Green grass at Target Field

    Would I like to have Kris Bryant? Of course. Would I mortgage that much of the future for one (maybe 2) years of him? No.
  18. bobs
    One year...two if he wins his lawsuit. Seems shortsighted to be dealing top prospects for a guy like that. Believe he's a SoCal guy? So no chance he stays beyond his current contract.
  19. bobs
    Porcello and Gausman were two guys I was on to fill a 4th or 5th spot. A lot of that was simply trusting Twins to make whichever one they signed better. I understand the Bailey signing...just don't like that it had to come to this.
  20. bobs
    If I were a betting man, I don't think there'll be a trade. Obviously could be wrong, but I think the FO is confident (over confident??) that a couple of Smeltzer, Thorpe, Dobnak, Graterol, etc., can step up this year and fill Pineda's spot until he returns, fill in if there is an injury and fill the 5th spot adequately enough to get them to the trade deadline. THEN we might see a deal.
  21. bobs
    This is my biggest fear with Bailey. I'm with Cooper though...frustrated at first, just ok with it now. Even if we get "2nd half of 2019 Homer Bailey", I'm in the camp that they still need to make a trade.
  22. bobs
    I like the move. Seems like another example of the FO getting core guys under affordable contracts...like Kepler and Polanco last year. I'd love to see Berrios be next.
  23. bobs
    Does this make him MORE valuable in a trade? Especially at what appears to be team-friendly dollar figures
  24. bobs
    Agree. A pitcher like Berrios - with what he's already accomplished at the age of 26. I'd put him at the top of this ranking. But I love Nick's work.
  25. bobs
    Pretty remarkable how fast Arraez went from the #20 prospect to the #10 asset
