    The AVERAGE MLB fastball last season was 93.9 MPH........there just isn't a lot of starting pitchers in baseball anymore (outside of some lefty junk ballers) who throw a 91 MPH fastball. Think Dylan Bundy.

    I frankly don't understand the desire to get more catching. We just signed Vazquez to a 3 year deal and Jeffers is still very young for an everyday or backup catcher. We are in a win-now era....are we not? I'd rather see them get back a major league caliber relief pitcher. What would it take to get Graterol back???? Or Hudson?

    You took the words right out of my mouth.....you look at his size, the speed, the positional flexibility and then you see that switch-hitting swing, and he appears to me to be a clone of Jorge Polanco, and that would be a very good thing.

    Two things: Miller---agreed on what some have said about him. He's one year removed from playing high school baseball in Wisconsin (which due to weather usually amounts to about 20 games). He was the primary shortstop in his first full year of pro ball and by all reports is a very good defender while still being over 2 years younger than the average player at that level. Way too early to say he's a bust. This will be a big year for him. Enlow---I think he has a big year. Speaking from experience, that first year of pitching post-TJ surgery is rough. You have to get over the mental hurdles that the arm is healthy while trying to get the feel back of all of your pitches. Hopefully, he now knows he's healthy and can let it loose. I've always thought his curveball was perhaps the best in the organization . Fingers crossed.

    That's a real possibility.....hadn't heard if the hip was a chronic thing or not. His arm seemed to hold up pretty well.

    Is Archer a possibility for the bullpen? Would he accept that role? IDK....but he seems like a guy at this point in his career that could be valuable throwing an inning or two in relief. He seemed to do well the first time through the batting order and than his stuff would go away. It would seem his fastball velo might tick up a bit if he knew he was only throwing an inning. His FB/Slider combo seems more suited for the bullpen anyway. Finally, he seemed to be a really sharp guy who got along well in the clubhouse. Just a thought.

    There aren't 100 better prospects in the game than Royce.....I don't care what Law has to say.
  8. cheeseheadgophfan
    I read that the physical part of the leg has already been completed so there is nothing to hold this up...... https://twitter.com/JonHeyman/status/1612865685289406486?s=20&t=0MZQRHZ6LdWloYVRNtCryg

    I'm sitting here with my mouth open........there is NO FREAKING WAY!!!!!
  10. cheeseheadgophfan
    I'd rather have Wacha than Bundy or Archer......
  11. cheeseheadgophfan
    Greinke? Did you watch him pitch this past season? He is basically Dylan Bundy at this point in his career. Maybe worse.
  12. cheeseheadgophfan
    Pivot......Pivot.....PIVOT!
  13. cheeseheadgophfan
    Somebody please talk me off the ledge........
  14. cheeseheadgophfan
    Arraez is the reigning batting champion and was a finalist for the Gold Glove at 1st base.....doesn't that (perhaps add Balazovic) get you Lopez (not an ace, but solid #2-3)? I think we vastly underrate Arraez.
  15. cheeseheadgophfan
    If you have a delivery that isn't easily replicated in the first place........and then you add in a knee issue and back pain (first i've heard that with him), it's no wonder he struggled. You start to over-compensate to alleviate pain in one place and it causes another. Step one in "fixing" him would be to try to quiet his motion to lessen all of the moving parts. His windup is all over the place and it's not hard to see that he's not consistent.
  16. cheeseheadgophfan
    It ain't gonna happen......but this is exactly what would have been said last offseason about the Twins signing Correa......
  17. cheeseheadgophfan
    How does someone pad their stats in baseball? You either hit/field or you don't. Do you think he's just trying harder now.???? He could've hit like this all year, but just chose not to???? Silly.
  18. cheeseheadgophfan
    Whoa.....let's pump the brakes a bit on Steer......he's hitting .218 with a .328 OBP....we have no idea if he's a flash in the pan or a legit major leaguer. 90% of the posters on here were fired up when they acquired Mahle. Hindsight is always 20/20.
  19. cheeseheadgophfan
    Just goes to show what learning to hit with a wooden bat when you're are young can do for you.... Speaking from experience, it is a HUGE change going from aluminum to wood.
  20. cheeseheadgophfan
    I have a sneaky suspicion that Carlos is going to get very hot down the stretch......and we will be begging him to stay. Superstar players tend to step-up when they smell the playoffs/primetime and I believe he is a superstar.
  21. cheeseheadgophfan
    65 pitches!!!! 65 5 innings....little to no hard contact. What does it take for guy to stay in the game? Would Rocco pull Bundy if he had a perfect game going if the linuep was turning over for the third time? It's like Rocco panics after 5 when the Twins have the lead. "If Jax is perfect....if Duran is perfect....if Lopez is perfect, WE WIN!!!" Guess what? That's not always going to happen. He has absolutely no feel for the game or when a pitcher has it on a particular night. This one is all on Rocco.
  22. cheeseheadgophfan
    I believe it was on the MLB network.
  23. cheeseheadgophfan
    Is the standard for overturning a call "clear and convincing evidence?" If so, doesn't the fact that there's been sooooo much debate about this call mean it wasn't clear and convincing? The call on the field was out.....what clear and convincing evidence was there to make an overturn? I'm confused. As to the throw from Beckham? I don't think you can complain for a guy playing LF for (I think) the 3rd time.....just a sucky way to lose a game.
  24. cheeseheadgophfan
    Why not take a shot at Dinelson Lamet for a bullpen arm????
  25. cheeseheadgophfan
    Huh? Is it callous to send Moran down? Or how about Sanchez after he won a game or us last week? Are you seriously implying that the Twins should hang on to Duffey in the middle of a pennant race because he's been around for 11 years? Ugh....that's the kind of thinking that needs to go. They're paying him 3.8 million dollars this year....and he's been terrible......and it's not going to suddenly get better. I wish my employer was that callous. I guess I don't know what to say....no one has made a case why Duffey is on the team, other than he's a "good guy".
