    Well, I made it thorough 5 1/2 innings..Time for an antacid and a stick in the eye for something more enjoyable...

    At our original draft slot #13 I'd say yeah to Dollander. At #5 feels like a reach unless it's an under slot signing. #5 should be a simple take the one that lands in our lap. Although I think it's 50/50 that it goes that way.

    It's been a couple years since I made a game in Minneapolis. Pregame, pizza at Pizza Luce was really good my last time there. Cowboy Jack's Post game (depending on your sons age) but is a bit of a mad house if you go to the roof bar.

    Great preview! The Twins seems to play better against the better teams, and this should be the week to find out if that holds true. Should be a good test for that, with the Baltimore series after the Braves. 500 on the road +/- 1 would make for a good week. Let's start it off with a win tonight.
  5. weitz41
    100% agree with this. Maybe a middle reliever or a depth piece. A big and costly addition seems like a waste at this point. If suddenly they start playing a lot better overall, then maybe. 1 player won't fix the team that played yesterday.

    Definitely deserves a spot on the all-star team. This is one of the better relief cores I've seen. Add in Thielbar (if he ever gets healthy) and it gets even deeper.

    Moving them this afternoon would be good with me but unless someone calls the Twins, I doubt it will happen until then.

    Another tough loss. Really terrible to see De Leon get injured. Just when he was having a little success in MLB. We've seen guys come off the mound and head for the dugout that way before and its usually pretty bad news.
  9. weitz41
    Yes and yes please..Hopefully after the all-star break we will have one or both of Wallner and Larnach starting in the OF.

    Let's keep things rolling guys! As for Rocco, Get yourself tossed again it seems to help plus no Buxton threads since then.

    I agree that my comments aren't completely fair. Neither is this obsession with "if Arraez was on the team". I may argue that the AAA team from last season's second half wasn't all that much different than what we've seen so far this season. I think my point is that it takes all 26 players on the roster if not most of the 40-man roster to be good to great. 1 player will not fix that.
  12. weitz41
    I know many/most won't agree with me but Arraez on the team would not make that much of a difference imo. This isn't basketball, one player hitting .400 will not offset 6 others hitting below .220. The second half of last season we had Arraez as our only good hitter and how did that work out? We'd just have more guys left on base and someone like Jordan Lyles pitching every 5th day. It's been a frustrating season, I get it, but this dead horse has been kicked enough...

    If it's a minor league deal, I don't see why not. Picking up his current contract, no thanks. Veteran reinforcements in Saint Paul has very little downside at this point in the season. The FO has built the team to win this season. So, I have a hard time seeing them trading away Kepler or Gallo and adding Myers would make sense. Plus, we only get to enjoy this pitching staff for this season.
  14. weitz41
    Wait wut? 9 innings of Ryan?? My fantasy teams needs innings from Duran and Steward!! Rocco get tossed out before the 8th plz..Ok seriously hellah oh game from Ryan. Great to see and hopefully more to come! If Buton was in center the red sox would have -1 runs scored...(whoops just jerking chains again)
  15. weitz41
    He's pretty good at holding down a roster spot. So..sorry you're a little off on the title..
  16. weitz41
    Hey.. why not? I'd like to add something about his wife but that'll probably get me in trouble with the site's rules. Welcome Dallas Keuchel and Kelly Nash.
  17. weitz41
    I can't argue with that. That part was more about position flexibility than anything else. I expected people to react to the CES/Williams numbers.
  18. weitz41
    After Kepler's 2019 I highly doubt any team would have held onto any of these over him. They're either platoon or depth outfielders. Rooker had a great month and a half. Now looks a lot like the guy who was traded, released and a free agent this offseason. Put Kepler in Atlanta's line up and I'd be shocked if his number didn't improve. Cave..no comment..Wade's a platoon 1b, as if we don't have enough of that going on already. Refsnyder, ok he'd be a nice 4th outfielder to have.
  19. weitz41
    I'm going to have to add Williams to the list of guys in AAA that we need to see in Minneapolis... CES: .416/.675 OBP/SLUG, 23/53 BB/K CW: 396/.629 OBP/SLUG, 27/62 BB/K Oh, and he can be our 3rd catcher...
  20. weitz41
    At this point I'd say the answer is YES??? Both. The bashing imo is well earned but is multiplied by everyone struggling. So, like I said yes..There's just a lot of armchair GM's that would seem to prefer to burn down target field then be patient..Myself included at times...
  21. weitz41
    I wonder if Rocco got himself tossed so he wouldn't have to talk about Buxton not being in centerfield during the post-game?
  22. weitz41
    Man, a lot of good things happening in the minors. Lewis, Williams, E Rod had a good night, Miranda is back to form. Keirsey is pushing his way up to AAA. Helps even out the ugly Twins game when so many things are going well on the farm.

    Also, I'd like to thank Ted for jumping into this trade debacle...Even posting neutral (as I think you did) you're going to take all kinds of heat. Some trades go your team's way some do not. Get over it. MAYBE (and that's probably being generous) 50% of all deadline trades work out for the contending team. I want this team to try and make the payoffs EVERY year. The cost of doing that is likely NOT guys who likely wash out. This team has traded to tried and make the payoffs 3 or 4 of the last 5 seasons. That's going to hurt. I don't care much for this FO or manager, but I do believe that they are trying to win every day.
  24. weitz41
    Wait a second here..If Ryan was a great starter, why would Tampa have traded him? Duran? Jax? Ober, Varland, Jeez there's a few more BP and up and coming arms. Pitchers aren't the problem right now it's the three true outcomes offense. Cleveland has as many or more pitcher successes stories from trades as they do from drafting..
