    Well, looks like we are already in mid season form.

    That's what I don't like about the Solano signing. He deprives Larnach, Julian, Wallner to compete for the main DH hitter. They all have way more power than Solano and I'm a big believer in having a power bat in the DH slot.

    Thanks, that was a good exercise to go through. I would have had Larnach higher up the pecking order however. I haven't given up hope he will make the opening day roster especially if Gordon's high ankle sprain keeps him out .. Those can take up to 4 weeks to completely heal if bad enough ..

    Nothing new about Pagan giving up a grand slam in his first grapefruit league inning. His ball must have looked like a grapefruit to the hitters. What's the definition of insanity. Doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result ..
  5. saviking
    Yes, 3ed base but don't forget he can back up correa at short. But what do we do with Miranda? Slide between third, first and DH?

    The starting rotation is going to be pretty full in AAA. Maybe start him at AA to give him more innings in the big's and then move him up to AAA as a reliever. Whether that be long reliever or short .. As of now, I just view him as a wild card ..

    I'm glad we are having fun with it because of all the spring training questions, at this point, who opens as the starter is the last thing on my mind. And I share your horror of the word Pagan. Maybe was the Pagan god of stress ..

    Totally with you and Balazovic is on his last gasp. With the quality of starting pitching in front of him I'd due the kid a favor and switch him to the bullpen.
  9. saviking
    I never would have guessed he could have gotten his era down to a respectable level after the horrendous start he had .. He's a mentally tough dude ..
  10. saviking
    If I had to guess I would guess you are probably right. I see a lot of people rooting for him but I root for every Twins player. I don't want him to fail but he's way down the list of players I'm counting on. Actually he's not even on the list right now to be honest.

    Agree with the last point. I like playing about 8 different DH hitters as much as I liked seeing what seemed like 8 different lead off hitter. To me, this is where you go for raw power. Someone like Wallner who can play against righties and selected lefties. It's the only spot you can play a big hitter that is an average fielder. Wallner has a gun for an arm but I wouldn't call him a great outfielder compared to our others.

    I like the way you are thinking. I never thought of that.
  13. saviking
    I don't get this move .. Guess I'm just not that smart
  14. saviking
    That's 3.5 million buckaroos we could have used towards a free agent reliever ... 😒

    If you believe regression to the mean (I'm not talking about Buxton's mean but the leagues mean) and that Buxton's injury's were bad luck instead of a frail body then it's quite possible he has very few injuries over the coming years, I mean, bad luck only goes so far ,,, Here's to a 130 game season ..

    Nick, you indicated you don't like to write these types of articles but this is just the type of article I've been waiting for. And I think it is a very optimistic article ... Thanks
  17. saviking
    I have no expectations for Dobnak. That said, he's a great kid and a great story. I kind of like that he parlayed part of one good season into lifechanging money .. LOL
  18. saviking
    Caught between our five starters and Ober, Varland, and Paddock's return later this year I think we should be looking at Winder or possibly Balazovic as relievers mid way through the season.
  19. saviking
    He could come in Handy ..
  20. saviking
    I was thinking the same
  21. saviking
    I would love to see Josh Winder move to the pen ..
  22. saviking
    I think you nailed it. Our bullpen is relying on Lopez and Alcala. If they are both at top form we'll be okay.
  23. saviking
    I cringe when I hear the word Pagan. I don't think he has the mental makeup it takes to pitch in any type of stressful situation ..
  24. saviking
    I wonder if we would be having this conversation if we hadn't cast C.J. Cron to the wind ..
  25. saviking
    I'm sorry, did you say he's asking for a two year 15 million contract 🤣
