    Time to move on, if they can find a taker for the contract. Get a couple lower level, but good upside prospects in exchange. Let Polanco and Gordon handle the position the rest of this year, they won't do any worse than Simmons

    Jose Miranda is a making a case to be our starting 3B next year! Time to sell off on the major league level and take our lumps with the young guys. Shoemaker needs to be moved to long relief, just too many times he is throwing BP

    Are the Tampa bats that good? Or is the pitching staff for the Mighty Mussel Matters that bad?
  4. HrbieFan
    Any way to have the top 20 prospect names be hot linked to their complete stats pages?
  5. HrbieFan
    At what point does the brass make changes? This team was put together to win and they look clueless at the plate and the pen has not been as advertised either.
  6. HrbieFan
    Don't take the Tiggers lightly, they looked great against Cleveland and I'm not sure I'd call them the worst team in the Central. Mize is going to be a stud and Boyd always seems to give our bats fits.

    Just need Berrios and Bux to agree to 3-5 year extensions and the nucleus is here for awhile.

    Off topic post here. Lance Mccullers just signed a 5 year extension that should be a good guide for a Berrios deal. He got a $3.5m bonus, $15.25m 2022-23 and $17m in 2024-26. Lance has a career 6.8 WAR compared to 7.8 for Jose and Lance missed chunks of time do to injury, but when healthy he is a very good SP. 5 years $85m that he got should be a good starting point for Berrios, if he wants to stay a Twin.

    Nearly a full year with Rudy as hitting coach and I still don't like what I see. I don't know what is different under him vs Rowson, but the results are immensely different. Front office and Rocco have to see the lack of results too. Has anyone in the media questioned the results?
  10. HrbieFan
    That is a great article by Dan Hayes on the Athletic. Talks about the process and how it doesn't happen overnight. Some good nuggets on Winder and Canterrino as well. I love our staff and the depth behind it. Dobnak is missing bats like Kershaw this spring! Happ is more reliable than Odo. A full year if Pineda and hoping for a breakout year from Jose. Personally I like Shoemaker as a 2-3 innings guy, but time will tell.

    5 years $75M, who says no?
  12. HrbieFan
    With Kirilloff having a quiet bat this spring and Broxton lighting it up, any chance they roll with Keon and let Kirilloff rediscover his swing in Ft Myers?
  13. HrbieFan
    I am not worried about our pitching staff, they are in good hands. I am worried about our bats though. If we are truly playing with a different baseball this year, Rocco and staff need to know how to play small ball at times and not wait for a HR
  14. HrbieFan
    Maybe this is the break that Thorpe needed to make the rotation and show some consistency. When Happ comes back, slide Shoemaker into a long RP roll as he is best under 4 IPs
  15. HrbieFan
    5 years $100m seems like a good starting point for both sides. Pitchers with less results than him have signed for over $20M per. By the time he hits free agency, assuming he keeps progressing, he will be looking at $25M+ per season
  16. HrbieFan
    Getter done! Hope they can buy out 2 FA years
  17. HrbieFan
    Can a team like the Twins afford a gamble on an injury prone player like Bux? He has always reminded me of Eric Davis from the Reds and the career is very similar, but Davis did put together some healthy monster seasons. But his injuries caught up to him and his career ended prematurely. A 5 year $65m will not hurt the Twins long term, but is it enough for Bux and his agent.
  18. HrbieFan
    14 man staff and 3 bench bats is just silly. We have 5 veteran starting pitchers that have shown they can go 6+, Shoemaker maybe not so much. That is maybe 18innings a week for a 9 man pen? Silly, just silly. Give me Blankenhorn on the bench
  19. HrbieFan
    So where did Blankenhorn start? Not at 1B, but at single? Who the heck is the proof reader these days SMH
  20. HrbieFan
    Would be nice if a few of the big international signings take some big steps forward this year.
  21. HrbieFan
    Did the team or Garver ever address his woeful 2020 numbers?
  22. HrbieFan
    I'm tired of Odo being a 5 and fly pitcher for over $10m. Would definitely gamble on Walker, his arm is electric when healthy. Dobnak has done nothing wrong to lose his spot, so no issues with him either. Thorpe has been a prospect crush for a few years and needs to show results this spring
  23. HrbieFan
    His delivery is very unique, but that alone shouldn't push him to RP role. I worry about his secondary pitches more than his motion. His build looks like he could be a workhorse if he can command 3+ pitches
  24. HrbieFan
    The next few months we will find out ML guys took the time away to work on their craft. Would love to have 2-3 of these power arms in St Paul ready for their opportunity
  25. HrbieFan
    Seems like a good deal for both teams. RP with good heat, nasty slider and MLB experience. Wade wasn't going to much playing time with the Twins, so I hope he gets a chance in SF
