  1. Are there any possible trade options out there? Maybe someone that could use a Polanco?
  2. I'd love to get Burnes, but I'd hate to give up on Ryan. Is there something else we could offer? Ryans years of control is a huge factor for me.
  3. I think we need to consider a good defensive CF for backup purposes. Same as last year, which turned into a full time roll for MAT. CF is a defesive position where offense is a bonus. I'd love to see Martin take that spot, but the lack of experience in CF makes me skeptical to say the least. And we don't know if he can hit ML pitching yet either. Kiersey? possible. But I still think we need an experienced ML CF. I'd like to bring back MAT, and if we can't get that done, maybe Bader is the next best option.
  4. Montas and Giolito. Affordable and respectable ceiling. This in my opinion would be replacing Gray and Maeda. But it's all speculation.
  5. Royce is a very talented player with a great attitude. He may become my favorite player since Harmon. And believe me that is saying alot. It is rare that a player comes along with the charachter and abilities that reach levels so much higher than all else on the field, especially with all the hot-dogging Divas in the game today. My Lewis jersey is on the way.
  6. Agree with this 100%. Would love to see the Twins sign two free agent SPs. Snell/Giolito, Rodriguez/Mongomery, Rodriquez/Giolioto, Montgomery/Giolito. And maybe to keep everyone happy to start the season at least, maybe go with a six man rotation to save on arms somewhat and keep Varland in the pen, where he has done quite well.
  7. Damn the torpedos. Full Snell ahead. Why? Because we have a window open to us for the next several years. Snell for the next 4-5 years puts us in the position to jump through that window. The pie is just on the other side of the window and I'm getting hungry.
  8. Yeah, I could get behind Nash Walker. Good enough to do radio.
  9. Big Dick Bremer fan. If this was a force out by the Twins, I have lost a ton of respect for the Twins management. Dick was and probably still is and always will be the most "loyal twins fan" in history. He needs to go directly in the HOF with his bust right next to his best and most entertaining broadcast partner, Bert Blyleven, whom I believe was also pushed out. 40 years of dedication and loyalty deserves better. Shame on you Minnesota Twins.
  10. I love the way this offseason is shaping up. I see Lee as a very possible call-up in 2024, but even if he isn't, we still have a strong base of players already. And with that being said, we also have several valuable trade chips either separately or packaged, namely Polanco, Kepler, Larnach, Miranda, and yes even Walner and Julien not to mention many prospects not named Lee or Jenkins. Use some of these to aquire a starting pitcher and a CF. I'm already excited for next year. On a personal level, I would love to see Larnach, Martin, and Lee all in the bigs and playing well. In my opinion, the most likely to be traded are Polanco, Miranda, and Larnach.
  11. Wait until he's 24????? That would be 5/6 years in the minors. LOL. that's not gonna happen!!!!!
  12. Drop Gordon and Luplow. Keep Alcala but on a very short leash. Needs to show some production from all the expected upside. No need for Luplow, period. Like Gordon, but I think his spot would be better utilized by others coming up.
  13. I would like to see them give Larnach a first basemans glove and give him a try as Kirriloffs backup. I was always high on Larnach but he has proven to be a disappointment to this point. I'd like to see him get one more shot as a backup 1B and COF. If not he should still have some trade value. I also wish he would show a little more fire.
  14. It's great to see him doing so well in his first season as a pro and I'm very excited for him. But let's see what happens in 2024 before making a Joe Mauer out of him. He's so young. Let him play. His performance will dictate how fast he moves up. Nothing wrong with being excited and hoping he is a future superstar, but time will tell. I'm honestly very happy with both of our last two top picks.(including Lee) But let's not put too much pressure on the kids cuz really, they are still just kids. Enjoy the present. The future will play out how it plays out. See you at the ballpark.
  15. I like Alonso, and I would do any of those three deals as long as an extension for Alonso was part of the deal. My humble opinion.
  16. Taylor: We're playing good baseball???? Huh! Rocco: So impressed with our group???? Huh!
  17. In Grays' defense I believe his history after 5 innings is not good. And it was extremely hot on the field. But to pull him with a perfect game going would have really ticked him off. The missed interference call (and it was obvious), was a key turning point. But the most disgusting was the hitting. 15 strikeouts and and not being able to score at least one with bases loaded and no outs? Yeah, that is horrendous. I don't care what anybody says, someone needs to lose their job to shake this team up.
  18. Players on your roster that may not be on the team - Polanco, Kepler, Larnach, Castro, Miranda. Pitchers - Alcala, Moran, Winder. That's 24.4M on postion players, and 2.4M on pitchers. That's 26.6M off the roster that could be replaced by guys like Martin, Farmer, Gordon, Lee, Funderburk, Floro, Henriquez, Sands, Richardson, among others not on the 40 man. But I agree that there should be money for the spending. At this point it just looks to me that it may be a little too early to tell. I'm not real high on the free agent market for the coming year, but there certainly could be some trades. If the Twins hold with the current budget level this team could be vastly improved.
  19. Seems like a little hyperbole to me. I agree that he is a good utility player and worth the 1.8 M and better than Marwin, but making it sound like the Twins will fall apart without him is ridiculous to me. Being Roccos' band-aid is over-exaggerating. I like Willi but "C'mon Man".
  20. What's a newspaper?????
