    How many Twins players will hit 30 HRs this year? 6? Eddie Rosario hit 50? Somethings up? Juiced ball?
  2. cardsfan
    A few unlucky injuries like the Tommy John surgery for position player and an achilles tendon cut thst didn't heal well, but, the window is opening. Will you have replacements is a good question.

    I think those catcher's 10 years along with Piazza and perhaps Simmons 10 years because of their power-hitting would be ahead of Mauer.
  4. cardsfan
    Don't they re-use the ball more often than big leagues?
  5. cardsfan
    He was out. Just touching cloth counts?
  6. cardsfan
    I don't think you trade 10 years of Berra's,Campanella's and Bench's offense for Mauer's.

    I hate the Yankees as much as you guys do. Glad my team has beaten them 3 out of 5 times in the World Series. But, stupid dynasty? Do you know why they dominated the Junior Circuit since the mid-20's? Weak opponents like the Browns, Senators and A's. Then expansion teams in early 60's. Yankees could spend to find talent. The Yankees went downhill after ownership cared less until Steinbrenner. Stupid dynasty? No, wished the other AL teams could have won the pennant more often.

    I consider Aaron the career leader who passed Ruth by 41. I think if Ruth played in Aaron's era he may have less Hrs.

    You are not the only fan forum advocating this. He likely has 28 starts left. He hasn't been all that great this year. If you win half his starts is it worth it? What would you trade for him?
  11. cardsfan
    Long relievers in the old days used to start. I remember BP in the past which you hope you could win 40% of the time. Perhaps if everything wasn't based on how fast yoi pitch, but, location and changing speeds we woild hsve emough pitchers.

    A utility type should have been developed in the minors. $20 million.

    I think that perhaps some of us believe that those above 61 are tainted.

    We are worried about shoulder injuries. When you go so far out.. This isn't like 20 years ago when the contracts were smaller.
  15. cardsfan
    I am curious who you think might surpass Roger Maris's 61 HRs this year? Yelich since 2018 ASG is on a 67 HR pace. This year he has 13 HRs in 26 games.

    We are having a debate on our forum on what the Cardinals should do with trying to re-sign Marcell Ozuna who will be a Free Agent at the end of the season. Remember Ozuna hit 37 HRs in 2017, but, had shoulder issues last year where he hit only 3 HRs in the first 2 months, but, hit 20 over the following 4 months. Was on DL after taking cortisone shots, but, recovered. Then in offseason had shoulder surgery and in Spring Training was put on a conditioning program to strengthen his muscles in shoulder. We are still seeing how his throwing is effected. He has 9 HRs now and is hitting powerful shots over the wall. What do you do if he hits 40 HRs or more? Try to re-sign him knowing his shoulder may act up? Does he get $25 million a year for a great season say 45 HRs, 120 RBIs and an OPS of 950? How many years for the 28 year old? If you sign him for $140 million and have to eat most of the contract it will be like trying to get production out of $16 million a year Dexter Fowler. Of course you offer a 1 year contract to get draft pick. I've not been enamored with Harper's contract or Machado who may have an OPS in the 700s where they command more at their age. So what advice do you have as a Twin fan?

    MLB IL. He was last on a MLB roster.
  18. cardsfan
    Don't be so harsh on Sano. If he could play 150 games he could hit 40 HRs. I can see the frustration as you want to get production out of him this early in his career at age 26. He should have had his heel problem dealt with more professionally though things happen. It will be interesting to see what he gets in arbitration and if the Twins could buy out a few years? What would you take in a trade right now realistically?

    I wonder when the Orioles will ever turn it around. Peter Angelos.
  20. cardsfan
    I think you guys if SP holds up should challenge for division title. Still early.
  21. cardsfan
    Good presentation. It's not where pitch hits catcher's mitt, but, where it crosses plate. The upper part seems like it should be higher.

    I go to MLB ballparks as part of a geographical visit. I plan sometimes around the Cardinals. Let's do the minors around Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, eastern Dakotas as far as ballparks go. Why do I visit? It's fun, memories and it's there. I took my nephew to 25 ballparks. I wish I would have visited more milb parks.
  23. cardsfan
    I have been to 41 MLB ballparks, but, only 3 MiLB parks. What are some of your favorites, worth going to? I've been to Davenport, Iowa's ballpark.
  24. cardsfan
    He went to 8 World Series as a player which is the most for a player who didn't play for the Yankees.
  25. cardsfan
    Fans in other forums are asking same questions. 1 year deal.
