  1. So major league at bats? Why? He can get plenty of bats in AA. How can a prospect who was an MVP just 21 years old be a lost prospect?
  2. I think it comes down to keeping Farmer at say 6.5m vs keeping Polanco at the 10.5m. So to say it's a 10m savings to our payroll wouldn't hold true. Savings would be closer to 4m. Then add in the salary of said player returning in a trade. I just don't see it as an optimal way of saving payroll.
  3. Ya..2023 narrative was "punt on the season".. 2024 inarrative is "payroll meltdown"..
  4. The Twins really like this kid..as do I. He is as close to untraceable as can be. He will be a multiple year Allstar and clubhouse leader if he stays healthy. His value will only go up..I promise. He is legit and special...this last part is not just my opinion.
  5. Maybe..maybe not. But he is the one that made the play for our Twins...not any of your random another mlb shortstop. He's the one that actually made the play.
  6. For me growing northern Ohio with parents as Pirates fans from PA I had no connection to the Guardians growing up. My first year in organized "little league" baseball at the local rec center at the age of 6, I was placed on the Twins team. All the teams had MLB names. Anyways we won the championship. I still got the team photo. I was hooked. My dad would show me were the real Twins were in the standings and took me to downtown Cleveland every summer to watch my MLB Twins when they came to town. I was even able to attach enough tin foil to my radio antenna and I could actually pick up the Twins broadcasts..but only at night when there seamed to be less static..even then I couldn't here much. I even recall many of the commercials like Jolt cola and others. I had no idea were Minnesota was in my younger years.. But I became a lifer. Being a Twins fan and wearing home made Twins shirts even got me into numerous fights with kids that couldn't understand why I didn't cheer for the local Cleveland team. There wasn't really any stores I could find that sold any Twins related gear...though we tried. So my Mom sewed me one every year and of course it would be torn to shreds by mid summer..lol. one of the best "choices?" of my life. It has lead me to some of my best experiences. I've lived many places but never in market. Now considering moving to Fort Myers area just so I can be around the kids and entire spring training. Sorry for being long winded.
  7. I agree with much of the above. One report that confused me was the one of Correa talked him into being only a DH. Why would Buxton need to be convinced to do this by Correa if he was physically unable to play CF. It just made it sound like it was a temporary situation. But I'm good either way.
  8. I love reading a comment like this. Well said @DocBauer. Knowing him pretty well, he did and many do have a hard time adjusting to a new country and new language. I am extremely proud of this young man. After nagging injuries he stated to me in the spring how excited he was to actually feel healthy coming into the season. He is a very hard working young man that may or not make it to the MLB. But the effort and heart are there. I too am just happy he's healthy and adjusting.
  9. Ya you all are right. Just DFA after skipping a start. Oh no wait...he got hit by a comeback. Definitely get rid of him. This is sarcasm. We need this guy! Overreact much?
  10. What would you rather have down? Sit on our hands and do nothing?
  11. Great info Seth, thankyou. Will you be putting out the Complex league roster as well when it's available? I always try to make a few of there games every summer. Any info on them is appreciated.
  12. I will definitely be looking into airfare from S Carolina to Cear Rapids to cheer the guys on!
  13. Not at all worried about Gallo adding value to this team. I worry about how much crow to serve out.
  14. 93 wins in my opinion, as well as a series playoff win. There just seemed to be more urgency at spring training this year than in years past..hard to quantify I know. Exciting season for sure!
  15. No worries. I am kinda the same way. I fly solo most of the time. Always looking for something cool or unique and stay pretty mobile there. The coaches always comment to me how they are talking to me one minute then they turn around and see me across the fields the next..lol. I did pass you guys. Glad you had a great time
  16. Thankyou for sharing. Man we were at same games at the same time. Hope to meet you next year. Had a fantastic time...minus the one night in ER with food poisoning. I will spare the deets.
  17. Not to speak for John's experience here. But this past week I made it to 4 games. Hammond stadium was pretty filled to compacity. Now that being said, It was games against The DR, Red Sox, and the Yankees. I would venture a guess 50 % + of the crowd was visiting teams fans. I'd guess the picture John put in was a game from a different time. I believe we have the Pirates tomorrow so it will be interesting to see the turn out. Now that spring training has really ramped up it honestly is alot more crowded as compared to the previous weeks. However not many fans seem to venture to the back fields. Some great action back there. Of course it's easier for me because I don't have kids and it's much easier for me to spend from 8 am untill 430 or so pm...just soaking it all in and walking field to field. Go Twins 🌞!
  18. Buxton was swinging the bat really well in live BP on yhe back fields today. Hope to see him taking the field soon.
  19. Yes to all of this ! ! ! Will be fun few weeks as a fan of everything baseball.
  20. Dominican Republic team showed up at Fort Myers today. Turned out to be a nice treat to watch. Nice seeing Nelson Cruz on our fields again.
  21. Thanks for the info. I havnt followed it much. I definitely appreciate the knowledge.
  22. Was able to watch the game. Wow that stadium was empty. Could hear alot due to no crowd noise.
