  1. Agree with Baul.......we could have spent money to get a guy like Montas in free agency.....and we didn't. Now we want to give up real prospects (but lesser money) to get a guy like Montas? That doesn't make sense for a team building for the future. Montas might make sense for a team who just wants to get to 500 this up coming season. I guess it depends on what you are looking to accomplish. Getting to a 500 record and saving your job might make sense for the front office.....but I would guess it doesn make sense for the group that is reading this right now.
  2. "with a mid 4s ERA as he did in 2021 would slot in just fine" Slot in just fine? We have 3-4 "top pitching prospects" who could come close to doing mid 4's TODAY........why pay big money for mediocrity .......when we can have our own, home grown, medioc..........
  3. The front office just "threw up in it's mouth" a little bit......
  4. Can't believe I am saying this......but even I would choose Gordon over these two. (and I am the one who said "if Gordon gets substantial innings in 2022, the Twins will be a below 500 team.....")
  5. "his collegiate career was spent at Rice, a program notorious for being reckless with young arms." Are you just repeating what you have read elsewhere....or is there proof? Being reckless with their arms would show up at Rice with the player actually getting injured......not 1-3 years later.....
  6. videos don't work....which is why there probably no comments from anyone....
  7. no comments because can't watch the videos
  8. I watched the video. Not sure where Law gets the head violence comment: "Keith Law of the The Athletic describes Petty as having "a high-effort delivery with some head violence....." Obviously, Law has established himself enough for us to at least consider what he is talking about. I sure hope he is wrong!
  9. Oh Jimbo...so much effort...so little research! LUCY!
  10. SNAP!.......good point DX! But.....still.......
  11. PS I have these same high hopes for Noah Miller! ?
  12. Did we have these same high hopes for Levi Michael?
  13. Going to try again.......I have never been able to view these videos.......do we need to download a special viewer? No other format do I have an issue with videos.......
  14. But boy............ he could "frame" the S out of those pitches!
  15. "I've been reminding people for a while now about his 2nd year tendencies. No reason for it to stop now, right? (Hoping). Additionally, while never exactly a hulking figure, it sure seemed last year he hadn't put any/all of the weight he lost from his bad covid experience. Here's hoping he comes in a good 15lbs heavier this season with good weight." OK Sid! LOL! According to Sid Hartmann (god love him,) Gopher basketball players would come back each year with 10 lbs of additional muscle. After 4 years they weighed 7 lbs more than they did as freshman! ? The issue here is the "second time through" the same level would be just fine if he were only 24 years old. He has already passed 27 years of age which "historically" is a player's best year.........
  16. If any of these three are playing substantial innings, it will be tough for the Twins to be and 80 win team. Fill-ins at best.
  17. Can Celestino be a "close" to Gold Glove defender in center? He will be a below average hitter....so his glove would have to carry him. Better than nothing (if Buxton gets injured or traded in the future,) but also........not all that exciting......
  18. I agree with Mike. If Lewis isn't a middle of the pack, starting shortstop for 10 years, his numbers probably won't hold at other positions.........and he will be a solid utility guy. "Solid utility guy" is not what we need out of the #1 pick.
  19. Due to the knee problems, Arraez would jump at a much cheaper long term contract than what you have listed. Due to the knee problems (and suitable replacements behind him,) a much cheaper long term contract is the only way this gets done.
  20. Kepler had one very solid major league season and one solid minor league season. I think "we" have a much higher opinion of his talents than the rest of the league. If Lewis was not our #1 pick, he would not be on this list at all based on performance over the past 4-5 years (covid and injury aside.) He has a Nick Gordon 'feel' to him right now. I sure hope I'm worng on that!
  21. Unfortunately, that "north of 10" ERA will make him our #2 starter (as things are shaping up now.) (tongue-in-cheek............I hope!)
