    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?

    Thank you Seth.....love it!

    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!

    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.

    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........

    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!

    ha.....Nick Gordon would be the reason to NOT weigh in the family connection.
  8. 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............

    Wait....I should say outfield is way down the list......on the "needs" list.

    It will be Larnach's job to lose in left. We don't need another outfielder.......

    He is making fun of you Wax.....

    You need to quit listening to Barriero......that would solve 1/2 your problems right there!

    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.......

    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.

    Gordon fits the "lite hitting shortstop" meme to a tee....except for the glove part! LOL!

    Not following the quote or the issue here. He has something other than the vaccine (a product)....... that he is saying didn't work. If anything, he is recommending to try something that he says doesn't work. Seems like there might be a typo somewhere in there.

    Agree with several of the above posters. Arraez was not paying attention to the fact that the pitch was about to be thrown. Donaldson realized this and called time out. Simple as that. It is on video tape. From that point, Arraez denied that he was not ready. Donaldson pointed it out...and Arraez continued to deny it. It is over now and I'm sure Arraez will pay more attention moving forward. It won't happen when he is 27 years old. I will still take his entusiams and put up with a few youthful issues!

    Lewis is still a couple years away from having his bat translate to the major leagues(if ever.) Calling him up to "try him" in centerfield is not an option.

    If Detroit were to get competitive this season I would guess Baddoo would be offered back to the Twins at some point. Unfortunately, once he falls below a .250 batting average (which will happen,) Detroit will be out of the hunt so Detroit will switch to: "well, we might as well keep him on our roster." That being said, there are several guys currently on our 40-man roster who could have been easily swapped out for Baddoo. This was a whiff by our front office for now....but they have hit more triples than whiffs so far......so I am giving them the benefit of the doubt.

    Great article with good recaps! Maybe a little too optimistic on when some might be ready to contribute "Sabato near-ready by season's end..." But i like it!
  21. miracleb
    There is a lot of movement between the big leagues and AAA, so i am not overly concerned about the 25th and 26th guys on the roster. Not sure why Law didn't make the 5-man taxi squad though. I would hope once AAA starts up, Rooker will go down and play heavy innings in AAA rather than watching games on the taxi squad.

    Make Cruz prove himself in the minors for a month. We would be able to get an extra year of service time out of him as well. WIN-WIN
  23. miracleb
    So far, it seems like they will have to keep Law if he can keep up this pace over the next two weeks. I sure hope he can fill the Whisler production from last year. I would think they would drop Anderson from the 40-man to make room.
  24. miracleb
    I wish the Twin's 'standout hitter' would get at least TWO hits .......one of these days.......
  25. miracleb
    I agree with Scrap. Yep...at 41 years old a guy can just stop hitting. But often, that coincides with an injury .....which is much more likely to happen when your.....41.
