    The Nick Punto's of the world always garner the most hate...
  2. Twins GFP
    It makes me laugh to see these types of stories knowing the the first responses will always be: GALLO and KEPLER. It's like a mantra... They are not the problem. Kepler is your starting OF, but should really be your 8th best player in the lineup. Defense first OF tend to go that route. Gallo was not brought in to carry the offense, he was brought in as insurance for 5 positions and has had to play 4 of them extensively. While we (myself included) were hoping for the rule changes to help these two offensively, it did not come to pass. Instead, they are playing at the level we pretty much expected. Please do complain that Solano, Castro, and Jeffers are your fWAR leaders. All three of these guys were penciled in to be backups. Lewis and Polanco can't stay healthy. Buxton, Miranda, Gordon, Correa, Vazquez, have been HORRIBLE. And you guys still want to complain about Kepler and Gallo? Unless something falls into their lap for cheap, the Twins should really not make any moves right now. No players readily available are demonstrative upgrades unless you want to overpay for a rental or sell the farm. I do not see either happening. Buxton needs to go in the IL until he is 100% healthy. He is doing more harm than good. Add Lewis and Polanco to the playing rotation, hope that the positive trending of Correa and Vazquez sticks. Kiriloff, Julien, Farmer, the rest of that group just need to maintain. That is what needs to happen.

    Stop holding us to the standard of actually reading what we are commenting on. That isn't how we do things...

    Good cheap young pitching is almost impossible to replace. You can find quality position players much easier. Ober is going to have a long leash. It would not surprise me if the the Twins saw him as untouchable right now.

    This does not conform with the TD masses... Stop bringing logic to an emotional argument.
  6. Twins GFP
    I appreciate the work here Cody, helps to put Sonny's season in perspective. Just a shame that a large enough percentage of the TD mass think the Twins should trade him thinking it will help the team.

    Here is the question Twins fans: Asked in all sincerity what would do you think it would take to Ohtani to the Twins? I see two possible package scenarios: 1) Ohtani as a rental (at least 2 top prospects plus a handful middle ground guys) 2) Ohtani agreeing to an extension prior to the trade (would probably be something like 3 top prospects plus Kiriloff and possibly Ober). I want to say zero percent chance the Twins do this, but signing Correa has thrown all of my assumptions out the window.

    As is typical of many articles coming from Stu lately, there is sadly more truth than satire.
  9. Twins GFP
    No problem if they decide to make a relatively low cost move for a guy like Robertson. But the bullpen is nowhere near the top of the priority list for this team right now. Gotta find some offense somewhere.
  10. Twins GFP
    HOT TAKE!!!! Hindsight is 20/20!!!
  11. Twins GFP
    Testify!
  12. Twins GFP
    For the right price (ie not overpaying), I think they should consider: #9 - Robertson. Quality arm, veteran with playoff experience #10 - Pham. Disciplined hitter that could help bring some stability to the order and the OF #25 - Turner. Reliable 3B to help offset the Lewis/Miranda question marks #29 - Hicks. Fits the flamethrower RP mold, would want him to be more than a rental.

    I am trying to understand this... The Twins are in playoff contention. You can argue about how strong the team is all you want, but THEY ARE IN PLAYOFF CONTENTION!!!!!!! On what planet would they be considering moving Sonny Grey, the teams best SP and among the top SP in baseball this year? Not only would you be ruining their chances in the playoffs (where SP always dominates), but you would be sending an insanely bad message to the team. For any of you that truly think the Twins should trade Grey right now??? We seriously have to question which team you are rooting for.

    I am not sure Hrbek had oblique muscles... I think everything kind of mushed together.
  15. Twins GFP
    As frustrating as it is to see highly touted guys go down with injuries, I wonder about context here... Are the Twins rate and substance of prospect injuries any different than that of other organizations? Are the Twins truly unlucky here, or does it just feel that way because of the higher visibility and attention we give to the Twins minor league system versus other teams. Is this just the cost of doing business?
  16. Twins GFP
    Sorry Nick, but I think this is part of the perception problem with Kepler. Whose expectations? Yours? Kepler has been fairly consistent in production. You are paying for defense, some power, the occasional hot streak, and consistency, How many OF have the Twins cycled through in the last 7 years? Teams are not going to have 8 all-stars every year. Kepler is not a god, nor is he "holding anybody back". Guys like Kepler are important. He would be a starter or rotation player on just about any other team in the league. Not the best OF on the team, but a necessary piece. IMO, he gets the brunt of the hate when it should be pointed in other directions

    I saw the title of this article and laughed and laughed expecting the comments to be beyond vitriolic. I am pleasantly surprised to be wrong. Please keep up the civility... In a perfect world, Max Kepler is your 4th OF. The Twins (or Kepler's) unwillingness to play him in CF hamstrings everyone going forward. The article does a great job of addressing the "problems" with Kepler. Realistic expectations need to be had here. There is no definitive better option in the minors. I also think clubhouse impact plays a role here. Everyone needs to do a cost-benefit check, realize the OF positions in the Twins system are not deep or strong, and any demonstrative improvement will cost resources. Unless they make a move or two before the deadline, expect to see Max patrolling RF again next year.

    One of the better articles posted here in a long time. Thanks for telling Keuchel's story. This signing went relatively under the radar, but may have some legs. Guys that have success than have to fight back from failure tend to bring great value and experience to a clubhouse. It would not surprise me in the least to see him on the big team this year. As a 4/5 pitcher, he could easily be that guy that is still kicking around 10 years from now (think Rich Hill).

    So Duran should have been an all-star because.... he throws hard? How about tangible, statistical reasons why he was snubbed other than hometown fanboy bias...
  20. Twins GFP
    Pretty much this...
  21. Twins GFP
    Pitchers stats, more than any other player, are reliant on other players. Ignoring the secondary information will give you an incomplete view of his performance. So Nolan Ryan going 8-16 in 1987 means he was a bad pitcher that year?
  22. Twins GFP
    Way to early to make a "bad trade" decision on some of these. I find it interesting that there is very little on the players the Twins traded away. Arraez has been insane, Cano needed a change of scenery, Steer has been good, every other player mentioned in this article moved by the Twins has done nothing. #5 is a current loss, but Lopez has been decent, and nobody expected Arraez to hit .400. Considering Lopez just signed a long-term contract, this trade needs time to properly evaluate. #4 is more or of a tie. Lose/lose on both sides. #3 is closer to a loss, but still needs a longer view to see the results. #2 another tie that needs more time. Rogers was awful last year, Rooker is imminently replaceable. Need to see if/how Paddock comes back. #1 Steer has had a nice start, but we need to see if it continues. Also need to see if/how Mahle comes back

    Attention Twins Daily Monitors: I would like to report that this article is framing the Twins Front Office in a positive light. As this does not fit the narrative that the FO is horrible and needs to be fired, I demand that this article be taken down immediately so the commentors can return to their regularly scheduled vitriol.
  24. Twins GFP
    Stop bringing logic to an emotional argument.
  25. Twins GFP
    Hot take! If the Twins had signed [insert 2022 FA here], they would be better! Ugh...
