    Yes. More. Something like soccer's World Cup. Break the teams up into pools and have a few mini tournaments.

    Kyle Farmer is not an option at SS, other than once a week or so. If he's at SS over 20-25 games then we are in trouble. Just my opinion. Correa needs to give us 4 plus WAR. 145 games. 25 plus HR/80 plus RBI.

    Well I can't even spell his name, let alone hit him. WOW

    Mick Jagger is still with us too, and just a few short years ago was still fathering kids with his much younger wives. He now has 8 kids, I'd say his pitches have been pretty effective too.

    Who am I looking forward to seeing take the field. Lee. Jenkins and EmRod. Lets see what our top guys have,
  6. sweetmusicviola16
    To be honest I hadn't not even heard of Christomo and a couple other of the pitchers. Should be a fun exercise. GL
  7. sweetmusicviola16
    So has Jordan Balozovic. Really bad.
  8. sweetmusicviola16
    I'm 55 and still young. My sage wisdom to the "younger" guys on here, the "older" you get the more good looking women there are. Take that one to the bank.

    I don't know much, but what I do know is Royce Lewis is our 2024 3B. A team can't have too many good players and the FO knows this. When Lee is ready they will find a place for him to play along with Julien.

    Paddock has managed to pitch 27 innings in 2 years with the Twins. As far as I am concerned he needs to prove it. Until he actually does my confidence in him will remain low. I mentioned Ober too. Bailey it has been mentioned wants to go for 200 IP this season. I hope he does. But an ML season takes a hard demand on both the physical and mental and it would not surprise me if he falls short of or only equals last seasons 145, in spite of his good intention. Sorry if my comments seem negative, but until I'm shown otherwise I will go by the track record that they have given me to go by.
  11. sweetmusicviola16
    Ohl does look interesting at least.
  12. sweetmusicviola16
    Festa will be up this season. Lets put it this way, I have zero confidence in DeSclafani pitching over 40-50 innings. Paddock? Maybe a few more. Maybe not. Ober? At some point I would guess that he too will need to be dialed down. Varland and SWR I would project as the first replacements. Should they falter Festa should be near the top of who would be next in line.

    On a somber note, former KC SS U L Washington passed away yesterday. He Managed/coached at a Twins affiliate in 2001 and in 2002.
  14. sweetmusicviola16
    If they want to sign a guy to an milb at this point, no big deal. It would have made more sense to do so 4 weeks ago though, ST is now half over. As far as the FA's go,not one is worth any excitement. But if DeSclafani isn't ready by April 06 I say go with Varland, with SWR and Headrick backing him up.
  15. sweetmusicviola16
    I'm not going to differentiate between ownership and the FO. Their one and the same as far as I'm concerned. So I grade it at D+. The bottom line is the team has not been improved and I can't with any honesty tell myself or anyone else that they did. Santana is not better than Polanco. DeSclafani is not better than Gray. Margot is not better than Taylor. Topa may or may not be better than Pagan, jury is out on that. I use the word "better," bottom line is these new players are not as good. I think they will once again win the division, but instead of widening the gap with the competition they allowed it to narrow. We put all of our eggs into the Lewis, Julien, Jeffers and Wallner will be as good or better basket. And into the Buxton and Correa will be healthy and good basket. The moves we made are the same type of moves we made in 2013 when we were a last place team. That's my opinion.
  16. sweetmusicviola16
    These frickin beetles are everywhere. I'd be happy to share some with you if you are running short.
  17. sweetmusicviola16
    Honestly 2006, 2010 we were good. But no PO series wins.
  18. sweetmusicviola16
    More optimism: Buxton had his 2nd stint today in CF this spring. Royce Lewis back to his old tricks today: Grand Slam.
  19. sweetmusicviola16
    Twins . com is telling us that both DeSclafani and Thielbar are behind and dealing with injuries in camp. That could bring Varland and Funderburk north sooner than later. Of course injuries will occur elsewhere as well.
  20. sweetmusicviola16
    There will be a tremendous amount of talent in AAA as we start the season. So on the position side of things I think it will be who has the hot hands coming out of the gate as we head through April and into May. Also it will be limited to only injury callups early on. Vazquez, Farmer, Santana and Margot would have to be very bad to lose a job imo. But if Larnach for example shows that he has improved his game I could see him being called up over any of Miranda, Lee and Martin. He too would very likely have to be filling in for an injury. I see Funderburk, or another BP guy being the first callup. Varland? He also will be called up for injury. I see DeSclafani, or Paddack, needing to be very bad to lose their spot. I feel a little for Varland. Did nothing to lose his job. SWR should get a chance sometime later in the season too.
  21. sweetmusicviola16
    Count me as optimistic, since this is the best team in the Central and very likely will win it. But at the same time I am not as excited about the team as I am optimistic. The pitching pieces that we are raving about are either unproven or mehh. Santana and Margot are mehh. There is no way that I can honestly tell myself that the FO improved this team. But here is how I see the Central: Chicago will win a small number more games. I don't see them being that bad again. I can see Cleveland winning another game or two or three. KC, will be better. No they aren't going to make up 30 games. But 15? 20? Maybe. It is very logical that some of the wins these teams have over last season will come against the Twins. Detroit however will be very tough. As has been mentioned on here before, if our youngsters can improve so can Detroit's. Twins win the division by a game or two. That's my optimism. When we could have widened the gap we allowed it to narrow. But we'll enjoy the season either way.

    After reading more of the article and I now know that no one actually died, with 17 injuries, the roster would now appear to be in flux rather than set in stone as it had been. So perhaps guys like Martin, Lee, Kiersay, EmRod could still make the opening day roster. Maybe even Jenkins could??? Who would have thought that such a disaster would be the break that some of these young guys needed. No matter how you slice it, crazy things can happen in baseball.
  23. sweetmusicviola16
    Just don't let Ryan Jensen toss. I've heard he can be a little wild.
  24. sweetmusicviola16
    My post won't be an apology for Larnach, he will need to prove it in AAA. Or in a different organization. He is soon to be behind his present peers in the pecking order and those coming up soon, Jenkins, EmRod, Winokur. But when I look at his numbers he did improve his OBP, Slg and OPS in 2023. SLG and OPS were career highs. Not that he was good, I'm not suggesting so, but sadly Santana's numbers were only marginally better than those of 2023 Larnach and of Larnach's career. This for his bounce back year. Yeah. OK. Uninspiring, to say the least. But imo if Larnach can have a bounce back year in AAA St.Paul he will and should be moved onto another organization this summer. Either way his days in MN will soon come to an end. Kind of sad really.
  25. sweetmusicviola16
    The thing is a Miranda for example could hit .525 this spring in ST games. It wouldn't matter. He's not making opening day regardless. And if he scuffled the first 3-4 weeks in St.Paul and an injury occurred on the Twins someone would very likely pass him up despite the hot spring. I believe that applies to pretty much anyone who's not on the team right now. Very very little is actually up for grabs in Fort Meyers this spring. It's strictly training imo.
