    After this win the Twins are on pace to win 93.8 games.

    I would keep Winder up until Archer hits 5 or 6 innings. He hasn't done that yet. I like Jax and would like to see him get more time as a reliever too. same with Stashak. so I am conflicted with who they send down, probably Winder and Jax. or Jax and an OF.

    I am more concerned with Theilbar then I am with Sano. What's up with him so far this year? I think Sano will still get close to 40 HR's and have his option picked up. and next season he will be a full time DH. I doubt Sanchez will be back next season. Though if he can be an average C this year and he hits 25+ HR's then maybe. I also think Urshela has been doing a great job so far as an Arreaz light. .304 ave and .370 obp. On a side note. I would like to see Kepler, Polanco, and Sano spend their whole career here just to see how many HR's and RBI come from that 2009 international league signing class for us. It would be cool to see if they could combine to hit 1000 career HR's for us. They are currently at 368. It would definitely be fun to watch as time goes on.

    This game seems pretty entertaining. The Twins must have read Nick’s comments about being boring and decided to have several defensive gems, key well timed Buxton Homer’s, and even a Sano single. Everyone was entertained today. And we are back to .500 and knocking on the door to first place again where we belong.

    On the plus side we are on a 3 game win streak with the win today. We could even be potentially tied for first if Cleveland loses today. 7-8 from 4-8. I will take it ugly boring game and all. Cause I know that when the temperature goes up so will the HRs and actions and all kinds of good happiness stuff that makes people happy at games.

    While a 3-7 record is not ideal. I have seen over the years not to put too much stock over a short block of time. Sano with all of the strikeouts and no production maybe… but Buxton is back, Killeroff should be soon I hope. And some of these slumps will end. Just be patient. Urshala is hitting around.300, Sano has the power and would be on a 1 year contract next year, Correa could but should be gone with a good season. Sanchez seems to like it here and has hit ok so far and his defense has been passable. Without a replacement I could see the Twins signing him to a 1 or 2 year deal. Do I expect everyone back? No but there are scenarios for everyone to return. With that being said I also hope we see all three guys mentioned in the article at some point this season or multiple points…..

    So what happens if a player has an issue with the advertising company? I know I wouldn’t want to represent certain companies with a patch on my uniform. I mean your uniform is more personal to a player then a bill board. I wouldn’t want a patch from a company like Disney or any other activist company as I think that can be a distraction.

    Anaheim is pretty laid back here so i doubt a change of scenery will do too much. maybe just a different place. I do think i prefer Upton to our in house options right now. at least on a platoon basis with Arreaz.
  10. Brandon
    Arreaz at 5 is iffy i do like the concept of this year only rankings. But the tier groups mess up actual rankings
  11. Brandon
    Twins will go 91-70. They will have a rain out that doesn’t get made up because of the condensed schedule. I am bullish on their record cause while their pitchers have serious risks. I can see ways to minimize several of them and if I can so can the Twins. The pitching will be better then expected because of the potential and flexibility of our pitching being in new roles and succeeding.
  12. Brandon
    I vote Al
  13. Brandon
    Exactly This!

    Reading on mlbtraderumors that Paddack lacks a good third pitch. Might he start in our pen first to work on third pitch? maybe adding a slider to go with his fastball and change?
  15. Brandon
    I am not a fan of trading Rogers. I was kinda hoping we extend him a few more seasons. will be interesting to see what the offers are for. if we can get something worthwhile maybe.
  16. Brandon
    he doesn't walk much. close to 1k per inning. last year had HR's in check vs the other 2 years. ut he is giving up more hits. Still it looks like he gave up runs in bunches looking at his whip and with pitching back to the mean his era should drop. if we just give up Larnarch for him that works for me.
  17. Brandon
    The leash was longer because the next 4 ranked options were all injured at the time we wanted to replace Shoemaker. These guys were all hurt Dobnak, Thorpe, Smeltzer, Duran and there was no one else that would be considered ready at that time.
  18. Brandon
    I think this rotation is set up to have stacked days. Bundy and Archer should be able to get through 3-5 innings. Jax or Winder in the pen can be counted on for 2-3 innings. now we are in the 7th or 8th innings and we can go to the regular bullpen guys to finish out the game. I think if we can get games like that out of them we will be fine. just we need to make sure that we are taking them out at the right time. Also Ober and Gray don't go deep into games all that often either. I hope this year we see more 5-6 innings from Ober then the 4-5 innings from last year. I think Ryan has the chance to be a solid 5-6 inning guy.

    Debate topic.  who is the better Prospect/ Pitcher Winder or Duran.  I don't want to debate but thought that would be fun since it looks like both will make the team.

  20. Brandon
    If that is the case then we could trade someone like Garlick or Rooker or Cave to get the deal done. Cause no one wants Hosmer at this point. I wonder if we also ate some of that contract if we could flip him to KC? Maybe SD pays 25 million we pay 10 then KC pays the remaining 25 million and get their 1B back.
  21. Brandon
    Guys we do not need to panic about our C depth. We have Jeffers then Sanchez then Goday and the Banuelos. Banuelos is a good defensive C who will hit like Rortvedt has already hit in the majors. Meaning his bat is mediocre at best. That is what you want from a 4th C. We are good. He will be waiting in AAA for the call. He was a 5th round draft pick we acquired from Seattle for the ability to spend a million on international players Or for literally nothing.
  22. Brandon
    Your logic is sound and well articulated and thought out . “ It just has to work cause I need it to. “. Best argument ever
  23. Brandon
    I dont think 3B is as big of a downgrade as you do. Donaldson only played what 60% of the games there. Didn't Arreaz get a lot of starts there? he is returning. Urshula is better defensively and less on offense. at DH its a downgrade depending on who is rotating in. Sanchez will still catch a lot of games. and C is downgraded but by how much exactly. Jefferson is the better defensive C just not near as good offensively as Garver. Sanchez can cover most of Sanchez power. He just won't hit for average. though i suspect his average will improve because he will get more rest since he will only catch about 35-40% of the games. With Buxton being available in 80% of the games is a huge bonus as will having correa all season. THe offense will also have Killeroff all season and Miranda could get called up and make an impact. I think our offense will be fine. Pitching still has issues however. ..... We could win 85+ games and be a playoff contender. there are 12 teams now.
  24. Brandon
    You are missing the MIranda factor in this. Miranda could come up ad start mashing. If he can do that then the Donaldson trade becomes a huge win. Here's to hoping.
  25. Brandon
    Smeltzer is having a good spring too. He could leap frog someone for a rosterspot. not saying he will. just he could.
