    I watched McCusker play in Indy ball with the Tri-City ValleyCats and I was thrilled when I heard the Twins signed him in ‘23. His power was excellent and while his whiff rate wasn’t as high there, he did come up with key hits with RISP. His defense in right field was fine. Average, but he didn’t make many errors or throw to the wrong base - fundamentally sound. I am not ready to write him in for the All-Star game, but I do think he’ll do fine for team that needs right side power. Hope he can stick when Buxton returns.

    What’s the over/under for how many games before Lewis returns to the IL?

    Having seen McCusker when he was in the independent Frontier League, this is his MO…he’ll always be a high power high strike out guy. Not quite a Joey Gallo type but he’s certainly a three true outcomes player. Going by what I saw in Tri-City, he’s average to above average defensively. His height helped and decent range with a long stride, but nothing spectacular. Would love to see him get a crack at the majors…but would also not be surprised to see him in a trade package.

    How about - what if John Castino didn’t retire early due to back injuries? Him at second base with Herbie, Kirby, Bruno, G-man and the rest of that ‘87 team? Not only would that have been an upgrade over Lombardozzi but then the awful Brunansky for Tom Herr trade might never have happened.

    Let’s not forget who REALLY wanted the Twins contracted - Bud Selig. Offering the Pohlads $250M in 2001 dollars to do so as well. Selig wanted the team gone so the Brewers would corner Minnesota fans as well. And to think he’s in the Hall of Fame…

    Don’t take this as I am making excuses for Correa, but I wonder if his feet are injured again? I was at Tuesday’s game and when he slowly pulled into third on a double by Buxton, if he was running at normal speed he scores easily - just as he would have beat that throw on the last play Thursday.

    If we are going by recent performance I disagree that the team lost the “best” starter. That has clearly been Ober for the last month or so.

    I’ll give some credit to Kwan for the fake he threw on Jeffers - enough hesitation to get the out. He’s one who truly has earned his GG’s not just won them due to a popularity contest

    You mean the Guardians playing well above expectations isn’t an important issue?
  33. LanceJS
    Two thoughts on this. One - did those who feel Correa is “overrated” forget he played on one good foot last year? Two, if Arraez doesn’t have much production because he hits mostly singles, it sounds much like the criticism leveled at Ichiro Suzuki. Last I heard, Ichiro is going to be a first ballot Hall of Famer. I guess hitting singles can be a good thing.

    I’m still not convinced that Buxton can be an everyday CF with the usual health concerns. Now with the TV deal settled, any chance of brining Taylor back, seeing he’s still unsigned?

    One change - gotta take out the losing sports teams with the Timberwolves as legitimate NBA title contenders!
