    Foundation is rock solid? Pablo Lopez does seem to have set himself apart. He has potential to have a low 3's ERA next year. A solid #2 on a championship team....but not an ace. The next (and only starter) even mentioned is Chris Paddock, who has not had a low ERA in 3-4 years and now is coming off another surgery. He looked solid in the playoffs, but to bank on him as your #2 is down right scary (and the opposite of "rock solid." ) The next two best pitchers on the Twins in 2023 were Sonny Gray and Kenta Maeda.......who "probably" will not be on the Twins next year. Your next best starting pitcher was Joe Ryan. MLB hitters seem to be figuring out his 91 mph fastball. He would be a solid #5 starter on a good team.....but not a #3 on a contender. I think the Twins need to sign a #1 pitcher yet....to have a shot at winning the division again next year. Sonny Gray might be that answer........but also turning 34.....and will most likely get a better offer elsewhere......

    Jeffers over Vasquez all day, everyday. A guy who has the potential to win a game for you verses a guy we know would go 2 for 25. If there was a drastic difference in defensive skills.....I could change my mind.....but not seeing it.
  3. miracleb
    Ryan as the number 3 starter? I would rather have Maeda or Ober.
  4. miracleb
    Yankees are not part of the conversation...........
  5. miracleb
    I was thinking the same thing as Old Nurse. I got deflated about Severino...... after seeing the other names on that list!
  6. miracleb
    What is the word on Carmargo's defense?
  7. miracleb
    It is a MUST to have our best fielding infielders..... during his starts!
  8. miracleb
    If the error that Goldschmidt is already 35 years old...not 32 years old was recognized sooner....this article probably would not have been written......
  9. miracleb
    And he should be starting in front of Jeffers and Vasquez anyhow!

    Worries me that a young kid like this is playing DH over half the time.....
  11. miracleb
    Hmmm....giving up some rock solid prospects for a pitcher with "some" injury history who had an ERA "slightly" below what our then current crop of starting pitchers were already putting up..........no!

    The Box score for the Saints brings you to Twitter. :)

    You won't see me complaining about getting Taylor fewer at bats.....but I would like to see Buxton doing that by playing (once/twice) per week in centerfield. THIS will open up DH starts for several of the guys you have mentioned above. I don't think Gallo is less than Kepler defensively at all. Kepler has a long track record.......hoping he will turn it around now (28 years old?) is maybe grasping at straws. I would rather see Kirilloff and Larnach getting those at bats.......
  14. miracleb
    Agree with Karbo. 1st base and DH are not positions of need.......
  15. miracleb
    Rocco would have mentioned that they "talked to the player" if they had actually talked to him about it. That was a coaching fail. Conger as 1st base coach needs to be yelling instructions to players who the coaches have to assume are clueless. Rocco needs to tighten up the ship....and we need to hear that he is working on it. If no accountability.....nothing will change. Is there any video of Polanco rounding 1st base with Conger in it? If Conger is yelling "BACK, BACK"........then it is on Polanco..... and I take back the "coaching fail."
  16. miracleb
    Taylor CAN'T be an everyday centerfielder for a contending team....based on his career averages! Especially when you have Buxton.
  17. miracleb
    ".....the recent fights for minor league unionization is a reminder that every player deserve security when the day comes to hang up the glove and stow away the bat." ****************** Ummm.......why?
  18. miracleb
    Taylor has had the start of his life and his OPS is below .700. If he continues to get this many at bats, the Twins will struggle to be a contender.
  19. miracleb
    I disagree. Having Buxton in center (similar glove to Taylor) would eliminate Taylor at bats. Taylor has actually been solid at the plate .....but history says that is temporary. Swapping in Kiriloff's bat (or Larnach, etc.,) will lead to a better offense without giving up defense. Taylor can be a starting centerfielder for Kansas City.......but not for a playoff contending team!
  20. miracleb
    Severino is definitely one to watch!
  21. miracleb
    I didn't see the game and am looking for vidoe of the fly ball that the fan supposedly touched....can't find it. Is this a reference to the fact that Kepler didn't try to catch it? (real question!)
  22. miracleb
    Went on the IL to "go see the doctor" Unless the doctor is in Japan.....it seems like he could go to the Dr....today! This can't be good ......and I had very high hopes for him!! :(
  23. miracleb
    Wasn't Connor Preilipp supposed to pitch yesterday?
  24. miracleb
    Hmmmm......interesting idea!
  25. miracleb
    Our line-up against righthanded pitchers has been brutal.....this will make the entire line-up "look" better!
