    He still has an ERA of 3.27 and a FIP of 2.87. Also, he's vaccinated, unlike Pagán.
  2. raindog
    My God. Please just enjoy watching a second superstar play for the Twins while we have him. He's not getting traded. Him And Buxton thriving together in the playoffs might be the best chance the Twins have to win another World Series.

    So chickenfingers69 is Beck Bradford. Can't believe you doxxed him.
  4. raindog
    My guess is Smeltzer gets DFA’d after he starts today to make room for Bundy.

    If they show enough or if the team really needs them, they can always be added to 40 man and called up. The Twins just have a really stacked 40 man currently.
  6. raindog
    Terry isn’t on the 40 man and isn’t much of a prospect. Miranda will platoon with Arraez at 1st and occasionally play 3rd/DH. Once Sano is back he likely goes back to AAA.

    Fantastic throw.
  8. raindog
    Very

    I think you mean five. Twins legend Walter Johnson was the first to ever do it.

    No chance they DFA Thielbar. The guy has been excellent for the past two years.
  11. raindog
    Huge move. Seems like a heavy price to pay for two years of Gray. They need to acquire another high end starter if they want to compete. Otherwise these two trades don’t make a lot of sense to me.
  12. raindog
    12 teams make the playoffs now. They should be trying to contend nearly every year.
  13. raindog
    Kikuchi signed for 36/3 with the Jays. Very reasonable deal I would have liked to see the Twins make.
  14. raindog
    Going to aarongleeman.com makes me so nostalgic. I'm glad it's still there, and looks the same.

    I realize the MLB draft is a bit of a crap shoot and you could do this most drafts, but looking at who was chosen after Cavaco is brutal. A lot of big prospect names. I had it in my mind that Cavaco was chosen pretty late in the 1st round but 13th overall looks so bad. Hopefully he can prove us wrong.

    Keith Law posted his farm system rankings today: 18. Minnesota Twins Last year: No. 8 Farm systems change each year for two reasons: Teams add/let go of talent in the system, and the players in the system themselves improve or regress. The Twins’ system is the most likely of any team ranked in the bottom half to benefit from that second part because they have so many players who should be on the upswing and be more valuable in a year than they are now. They have a ton of players who need to get healthy and get on the field — highlighted by Royce Lewis — and a number of players who should see progress from working with the Twins’ player development department. But that doesn’t mean I could wishcast this into a top-half system just yet.

    That was my number one target for the Twins. Best realistic chance to get a high-end starter. Gray maybe is a step below, so I hope they go after him. I just don't see them aiming higher than that.
  18. raindog
    I find most of these moves to be incredibly optimistic and Twins friendly. Verlander isn't coming to Minnesota if they don't significantly outbid the competition. Gray will get more than 30 million over 3 years. Kepler will absolutely not net Manaea in return. I would like this offseason plan, it's just not happening.
  19. raindog
    Well the Mauer extension was a net positive, so yes, I feel fine about extending Buxton too.
  20. raindog
    I'd be shocked if any of them got an offer from the Twins. It's just not gonna happen. I'm hoping for 2022 they can find a defensive specialist that can hit a better that Anderlton did. And re-evaluate next offseason. I'm still hoping Royce Lewis can be a competent SS.
  21. raindog
    Maybe watch this to gain a new appreciation for him and his character. It’s incredible what he’s overcome.
  22. raindog
    Gladden basically just said he got in trouble for complaining about that hit call.
  23. raindog
    I desperately hope the Twins win a playoff game this year, it only to stem the negativity from fans a bit. It’s gotten over the top and comical at this point. There’s nothing wrong with being critical of the FO but I feel like people aren’t being reasonable. Anyways, I’m happy to see Astudillo make it. Garlick is a surprise but I’ll take the better defense in LF. I think Rooker needs to be a DH. Hopefully he hits enough to be an option there when Cruz is gone.
  24. raindog
    Shoemaker is a veteran who was promised a starting spot in the rotation to sign here. You can’t send him to the minors. He’s good when healthy. When he or anyone else in the rotation gets hurt, Dobnak will be there. Relax. Unless he himself gets hurt, he’ll end up starting more games than someone that is currently in the rotation. They could have not signed Shoemaker but then they have less SP depth. I don’t understand how people are confused or upset about this.
  25. raindog
    They’re 29th in team BABIP this spring. They’ll be ok. Edit: Although, dead last in walks by a fair margin is a bit concerning.
