  1. Twins signed him to a bargain deal and reaped the rewards. Does Polanco get $10m in FA now? Probably not, but some team would give him close to that. Would he stay for a revised 2 year $15m with bonus potential? When healthy, he is the type of hitter that stirs the drink.
  2. A big NO to this idea. Hate it when media thinks any Joe Schmo can play 1B. Better idea is to bring up Williams and see if he can hit ML pitchers.
  3. Any breakdown on his stats after his bad start?
  4. Lewis is my #1, dude just rakes in the bigs. I'm also putting Walker Jenkins behind Lee at #3. Have a hunch that Jenkins will be a fast track player, kid oozes with talent
  5. I don't believe they are better without Bux, but I do believe they are better with Gallo on the bench. Watched him closely the last 2 games and the dude is a freak in the field!
  6. His effort with the bad is putrid right now. Looking at 2 called 3 strikes is not acceptable for a guy with his accolades. Dude needs to get the funk out now. Does he need an eye exam?
  7. Did Ober really only give up 4 hits in July? That seems highly unlikely
  8. Majority of pitcher injuries are not from pitching too many injuries. They are caused by improper stretching, improper shoulder angle and just overall wear n tare. The latter can kick in at any time. IMO, you use the arm while you can, with a little concern to the future
  9. Good read and I tend to agree with you. We simply cannot risk losing Gray for nothing, we don't have the ammunition to do it. There are going to be some desperate teams looking to bolster their staff soon. Not sure who would replace him as Varland hasn't looked great in St Paul. Guess Kuechel would probably be the first guy given a chance and they need to figure out if SWR is in our future plans
  10. The concern I have read about Clark is the lack of competition he has faced. I have no clue what he has faced ir hasn't, just going off of so called experts articles. I believe it was The Athletic that said he didn't travel amongst top tier competition. If Clark is the pick, here's to him being the next Trout
  11. Going this route would definitely be a prearranged deal and save the Twins a mil or 2 at #5, allowing them to overspend with the other picks. If that is the case, I would fine with it.
  12. The FO always seems bull headed to admit mistakes. I'm guessing Gallo sticks because of injury concerns with our OF
  13. Kepler says Hi to his haters again tonight! Can we trade managers at the deadline? This dude has zero baseball feel at all. Kenta pushed them off tonight and then struck out the guy. Pulling Kirilloff when you are up 5 is stupid, let him gets ABs against both sides now.
  14. I don't see how Skenes gets past Detroit or Texas, especially Texas. If Dollander finds his slider again in the march to Omaha, he might go top 5. Twins have scouted the Vols hard the last few years, drafting Ortega, Rucker, and Soulaire. So if they draft Dollander, I will trust the brass
  15. Could it be our hitting approach of swinging for the fences?
  16. Rooker more than made it to the bigs! He is hitting 260 with 11 HRs for a horrible A's team.
  17. Count me as one that doesn't think speed is the end all. If you can't control your repertoire and keep bats guessing, you are going to get hit hard and often. Give me a pitcher like Greg Maddux every day and I'll be happy.
  18. They can option him and recall him within 3 weeks and the option doesn't count. I'm sure someone, aka Bux, Larnach, Kepler or Gallo, will go on the IL by then
  19. I'll take any warm body over Pagan, dude has absolutely zero confidence
  20. Kepler has played in 7 games. In his last 4 he is hitting .250 with 2HR. Since coming back from the IL he is hitting .333. Stats can be skewed, just let him get on a roll.
  21. Doesn't sound good on Prielipp, praying it is some SCar tissue
  22. Wonder how Maeda likes MN and if he makes sense on an incentive laden deal. Maeda hasn't made that much coin in the US, so he might want to get paid
  23. This team is deep like I have never seen before. We traded away 3 great bat prospects last year, trade Arraez and still have 5 bats in the minors I wouldn't be afraid to bring in. Need the stars and SPs to stay healthy to make this a really fun year
