    I think the Twins needed these days off to get their heads screwed back on straight ..

    Biggest sign we're back to the 2019 Can't score when the bases are loaded Shaping up to be a good year!

    Cave is a clog in the rookie call up wheel. Hope the Twins unclog that wheel and send Cave down the river soon. I am not a fan of his ..

    Really happy for a fine young man and the Twins made a great deal. But I'm really curious about the escalators. Hopefully there is a way for him to make a fair salary if he develops into something solid ,,

    Long live Dobnak!!! Shoe-marker-Shoe

    The way I see it Rooker's spring bat and the lack of Krilloff's gives the Twins what they want. A good excuse to leave Krilloff at triple A the first month and gain an extra year of service. I bet management is thrilled! And Rooker appears to be the real deal so if I was Jake Cave I'd me looking for a new domicile ..

    Smeltzer made me / makes me cringe every time he goes to the mound. He has a great story but is a flash in the pan. Got a few good meals out of him when he first came up and then nothing. Worse than nothing. I see no way he is in the Twins future but I seriously doubt we could get much of anything in a trade. Pitchers like Smeltzer are a dime a dozen in the minors .. Smeltzer has NO dominate pitches. He picks at the plate when he doesn't hit his exact spoke they tag him. He's basically just a finiss pitcher Time to just release him and let him try to find a home somewhere else.

    Could we just get one year of a healthy Buxton so he can realize his full potential ...

    If Krilloff doesn't make the mental mistakes Eddie makes he will do just fine as Eddie's replacement ..

    A lot of risk comes with signing Buxton to a long term contract due to his injury history. I'm not saying, don't do it, but the safest move would be to trade him for a bundle ..

    If, his ankle is healed I expect Polanco to have an amazing year. * in the past his lack of range and inaccurate arm didn't play that well at shortstop. But at second base his underhand throwing style will actually be an asset to help him quickly turn double plays. Physics dictates that the shorter throw will make him more accurate especially with someone long at first base like Sano. * When healthy Polanco drives the ball by taking powerful swings but those take a toll on his ankle. When he misses he often falls back out of the batting box and limps a bit. So, he will have an amazing season if his ankle can withstand the stress he puts on it. I say his ankle holds up this season but long term, I just don't know.

    Agree. My hope is that Krilloff and Rooker make the roster by May and there will be no room for Astudillo letting Rooker and or Krilloff back Sano up at first.

    Not many cathers (or players) with a year (hitting) as bad as Garvers was last year have ever had any year as good as Garver's two seasons ago. Last year was a short year with injury's but two years ago Garver proved he could put up brilliant numbers for an entire major league season. Garver doesn't have to ever have a year as good as two years ago to be a very good hitting catcher. In fact, his 2019 season was soooo good I'd wager he could never repeat it. But so what, 25 homers, 270 batting average is just fine with me .. I believe our catching tandem insures a high level of play 162 games a year unless one of them get's hurt ..

    Based on our current talent and our talent pool I'd say they have only pried the window open 70% of the way with it fully open in two years. Let's wait until we get the window completely open before we try to decide how long they can keep it open ..

    Gibaut, whose forty-man spot was taken by Matt Shoemaker, is the third pitcher the Twins have successfully outrighted to the minors since filling their forty-man roster this offseason. Hmmm. what does that statement say about the quality of these pitchers ..
  17. saviking
    Late 2022 .. Berrios Maeda Duran, Balazovic, Canterino
  18. saviking
    Arreaz at first base? How tall is he? What's his catch radius? You've got to be kidding me ...
  19. saviking
    Shoemaker is an excellent low risk, high reward pickup .. Wonder if his ancestors were shoemakers
  20. saviking
    exciting stuff ..
  21. saviking
    How cheap?
  22. saviking
    Yes, he is the only one that makes sense due to his low salary and years of control. I like your trade offer and would be very open to even moving Sano for him as well as a million other combinations. Only players that should be untouchable are Kirilloff, Lewis and Balazovic ...

    If Colome was final piece I'm okay with that ..
  25. saviking
    If the National League adopts the designated hitter rule for 2022 the one year deal actually benefits Cruz. I'm wondering if your 125 million includes the easily makeable Maeda bonus? I hope so ..
