    But boy............ he could "frame" the S out of those pitches!

    "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.........

    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.

    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......

    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.

    Ouch

    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.

    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!

    Unfortunately, that "north of 10" ERA will make him our #2 starter (as things are shaping up now.) (tongue-in-cheek............I hope!)

    Adding Greinke as the 4th starter on a playoff caliber team makes sense. Adding him as a mentor or "presence" to an 80 win team is just throwing away 10-15 million. What.....so the "young pitchers" will listen to him........ instead of Wes Johnson?
  11. miracleb
    Agree. Simmons is a better overall player than Andrus at this point......which says everything you need to know about this article. If the purpose to get Andrus is to get an additional player AND taking the Andrus contact off their hands, then lets just say that. The Twin's, historically, would be on the OTHER side of that equation

    Thank you Seth.....love it!
  13. miracleb
    oh boy,......let's go get a light hitting shortstop with good defense.........where have I heard that before?
  14. miracleb
    Doc nailed it. If you flip the script, Jeffers has the big numbers and Garver struggles. I was fine having Garver hit all lefties because he was rock solid......but then having Jeffers bat against almost strictly righties........of course he will struggle. 90% of the league struggles against the same side pitchers. This is why managers stack line ups. Basically, Baldelli stacked the line up against Jeffers. He will be fine!
  15. miracleb
    I think Rodriquez agrees with h2o.......he sees a team that needs 5-6 additional starters at some point over the next 9 months instead of 2-3 on other major league teams.
  16. miracleb
    Lewis as the top 'hitting' prospect? Right now he is more likely to follow the Nick Gordon path of a utility player who can play at several positions around the field and he "won't hurt you at the plate." I certainly wouldn't put him ahead of Martin or Miranda........
  17. miracleb
    I really wish these guys were "allowed" to pitch more than 100 innnings. Guaranteed, everyone of them threw over 150 pitches their Jr year in high school(including summer ball.) I agree with Bert....let them pitch!
  18. miracleb
    ha.....Nick Gordon would be the reason to NOT weigh in the family connection.
  19. miracleb
    Gordon would be a good story if he was a 19th round draft pick who worked his way up through the minors. If he was just 22 years old there could be a case that there is still potential there. If he is getting significant innings in 2022, the Twins are once again a last place team. He probably will fill a utility roll with the club this year and play significant innings......which means............
  20. miracleb
    Wait....I should say outfield is way down the list......on the "needs" list.
  21. miracleb
    It will be Larnach's job to lose in left. We don't need another outfielder.......
  22. miracleb
    He is making fun of you Wax.....
  23. miracleb
    You need to quit listening to Barriero......that would solve 1/2 your problems right there!
  24. miracleb
    Boyd has really NEVER been good. At his best, he would be a #4 starter. At his "average," he is a AAA player. This was a whiff for Detroit! But we have our share of our own whiffs.......
  25. miracleb
    Huh? it is easily arguable that Donalson was better last year than Chapman and will be better next year than Chapman. Giving up ANYTHING for that is nuts. Gving up OUR future 3rd baseman alone would disqualify even thinking about this trade. Even if this was strictly a salary dump, it wouldn't make sense since you could "give away" Donaldson and bring in Miranda to play 3rd base for the minimum.
