Yes! Got invited into the cages in spring training last year. I was amazed. I wish my golf simulater gave me the data and charts they were getting threw this tech. Very cool.
Agree with this 💯. I could barely even notice the challenge system while in attendance at minor league games. It was very quick and effective. I'd prefer it over our current situation.
Ok so I have to ask DG. Do you think Jeffers is a good catcher or not? Here you have him being traded for a no 1 SP plus a younger version of Jeffers. On other threads you believe Jeffers should have been gone and we should be trotting out Garver and Rortvedt as our catchers. Sorry just confused on your takes.
Ok well just trust me..Jeffers is and was and will be more valuable than your Garver and Ben R. Yankees didnt wreck Rorvedt...he just wasn't good. Garver never was a strong D catcher. Still don't see how we bet the farm?
I'd not consider Garver or Rortvedt #1 catchers in my opinion. Ones a DH..ones a oft injured backup at best. Jeffers is and was the best of those 3...as always just my opinion.
This all sounds great. I think what separates it, is it's created and done by us. The TD community. I know there is some great stories, information, and insight out there in our community.
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.
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.
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.
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.
