  1. I don't understand how we 'learned anything' yesterday, other than that the Twins (like most of MLB) cannot spend like the Yankees - you just learned this? I wanted a pony when I was a kid, but I didn't get one either.
  2. Makes sense to move Lewis around, as Polanco is going to stay in the line-up and Arraez looks like the second baseman. Lewis is still likely a year away, at which point Cron's contract expires, and they could move Sano to first and Lewis plays third. Or, if Buxton can't get past his chronic injury issues, he could be in the outfield.
  3. I don't think I've ever seen a runner so clearly out on what looked like it was going to be a bang bang play.
  4. I'd take Nelson Cruz over any other Twins hitter in an RBI situation.
  5. I will take it - two proven veteran relievers. Right now, a starting pitcher is only going to have about 12 more starts in the regular season. I'll take a solid reliever who will get into at least twice that many games. The Yankees seem to believe they can 'make it' with a starting pitching staff that averages 4 innings per game - I'd rather be the Twins getting more like 6.
  6. I don't 'get' the Sano critics. The guy had a pretty darn good first three years in the league (at ages 22-24). For players not named Trout, that is impressive. Yes, last year was not good, but let's also give him some 'law of averages' benefit of the doubt. Right now, through 42 ABs, he has 5 HR, 11 RBI, 11 Runs scored. Sure, his average is around .230, but his OPS is 1.048. I'll take that in the middle of the line up every time.
  7. Given the fact that Pineda missed an entire season, it's also possible he will get better as the year goes on. Three solo HRs isn't that big of a deal when you've got a big lead - much more important that he gave them 7 innings.
