    Didn't like this trade from the time it was made. Mahle, even if not injured, was not going to help avoid last year's meltdown. I get that the FO felt the need to try something-anything-to make the playoffs; in this case that should have ignored that feeling.

    Cano is having himself a year, so far. 8.2 of no-hit ball

    Catcher. Meh starter. Meh backup. Meh minor league prospects. No depth. No upside.

    Plethora

    You know how they usually make a kids t-shirt version of the uniform, but the t-shirt is clearly cheaper-looking and less effort was put into the design? They can't do that now.

    By the end of the 60s, Mrs Herren taught cursive just like this leaked pic. Some letters connect on top, like a "w" or an "o", but most connect on the bottom. And the n had two humps (I'm not sure why, but probably to keep it from looking too much like an "r"). But the important thing is yes, that's a nice uniform. Same thing in gray on the road and we're done.

    Its not really 1960s cursive though. The n would have 2 humps. Like this one. The perfect Twins jersey. https://www.google.com/shopping/product/10903210103858604559?q=minnesota+twins+jerseys&client=firefox-b-1-d&biw=2048&bih=1014&dpr=2&prds=eto:1574578842094883376_0,pid:4147420655746274747&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj62oaVsa_7AhXaMDQIHfRRCRAQ8gII2hAoAA

    and think of the minor league transactions.

    That seems like a terrible trade for the Twins on the surface. I don't like it.. But, you could argue that if Sands and Enlow won't be on the 40-man at the end of the year anyways, you're not really losing much there. Still don't like giving up 2 top-10, AAA-level batting prospects for the 2 relief pitchers

    No, but Ed Bane I remember well

    They're learning what it takes to become a major leaguer

    Where's Steer been the last few days? Taxi squad? I've only seen his (I think) pinch-hit game-winning homer.
  14. annismark
    Uh oh.

    Looks like Omaha is closer to the KC airport and Wichita is closer to the stadium. That must mean...

    I don't watch a bunch of games these days, but was that umpire treating the strike zone like Greg Maddux was pitching, or what?
  17. annismark
    You could look at Arraez and Schoop and have the same type of discussion (if you had nothing better to do)

    the anit-Rosario arguments seem to get weaker every inning.

    I like the thought about too many similar color schemes, a comarison is the Premier League soccer--every decent team is either red or blue. Other random thoughts: I do scream internally when I see teal and some of the more modern/creative colors-they just don't look as good to me on a baseball uniform And when so many have similar alternate uniforms, you can't really tell quickly if you're wathcing the Angels, Twins, Reds, RedSox, Rangers, Cardinals Nationals, Phillies. NFL teams are almost all immediately identifiable-I think the helmets help.. (But I'm not suggesting the tigers add stripes to their hats--or am I?)

    That. And for roads, I like the gray from the early 70s, maybe if you deemphasize the softball uniform elements. See Kaat and Killebrew cards at https://www.mlb.com/twins/news/best-twins-baseball-cards

    I think Miranda will rise above his station. He's just what you want in a prospect. He's young, scrappy, and hungry.

    (Both moved up a level today by the way) Julien and Steer are an interesting comparison/contrast. Both have great W/K rates and such. The differences seem to be in power, favoring Steer, and speed, favoring Julien. But also: Julien's stats are odd in a way that makes me a bit apprehensive. He has a really high BABIP .451 that is not sustainable and has more walks/HBP (27% of PA) than hits (22%), I imagine that walk rate likely won't last either. He's also struck out a lot (26% of PA) considering his relatively low power totals. Steer on the other hand has a much lower BABIP (.283) lower K rate (15%) and higher slugging %.

    I'm curious, Is Moran considered a prospect or not. His results seem pretty good compared to some on the list.

    Last 2 years Batting averages with RISP Rosario .340/.353 Sano .245/.219 Kepler .309/.273 Cruz .368/.333

    With the number of times we've been burned by "ready for the majors" top prospects' early struggles (Hicks, Buxton, Sano, Berrios, Stewart, Sofield), or never really making it (Gonsalves, Romero, Meyer, Jay, Jorge) you'd think we'd be cautious about jettisoning one of our more consistent and productive players for a shiny new one.
