    Other than Festa, I think this is the weakest AA team the Twins have fielded by far .. But with young players like, ,Lewis, Julian, Miranda, Krilloff, Larnach, Wallner; and Lee with Correa and Buxton locked down long term, who gives a **** ..
  2. saviking
    Julian long term, Buxton short term
  3. saviking
    I'd take any of them over Pagan
  4. saviking
    Although MIranda isn't the best defensive player the fact that he's right handed, and hits like a bangy, play two positions and DH will injure he gets plenty of at bats. When he doesn't start he most likely will get a lot of pinch hitting opportunities as well.

    Waiting for Krilloff and Lewis to be healthy enough to make the big league roster is like waiting for Buxton to get back from injury. Feels like a jinx to me ..
  6. saviking
    Totally not a surprise. I mean, who's spot was he going to take.
  7. saviking
    Only reason is Ober is too good and they can't have one of the others drop out. But I'm a 4 man rotation kind of guy so 6 does not do it for me.
  8. saviking
    Nobody knows ... Will be interesting to find out. I know when I watch him he has good stuff. But then, so does Pagan ..
  9. saviking
    Miranda's bat will keep him in the lineup. He can DH and back up 3rd and 1st ..

    Thanks for that explanation Chris. Guess the only real option to trading Polanco is not appealing as it would mean we were out of the race and we trade him at the trade deadline.
  11. saviking
    Polanco puts tremendous stress on his ankle when he takes violent swings. I'm not sure if his ankle gives out because it's already hurt or the violent swings are what injures his ankle. Either way, if he keeps it up his career will be greatly shortened. Because of this I would prefer to trade him at the end of this season ..
  12. saviking
    Well, looks like we are already in mid season form.
  13. saviking
    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.
  14. saviking
    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 ..
  15. saviking
    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 ..
  16. 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?
  17. saviking
    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 ..
  18. saviking
    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 ..
  19. saviking
    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.
  20. 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 ..
  21. 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.
  22. saviking
    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.
  23. saviking
    I like the way you are thinking. I never thought of that.
  24. saviking
    I don't get this move .. Guess I'm just not that smart
  25. saviking
    That's 3.5 million buckaroos we could have used towards a free agent reliever ... 😒
