    or if you don't use it the difference is spread evenly among the players on the team. That would be a good strategy for teams looking to sign depth players. as if you have a lower payroll then the per day per diem would go up.

    Like Johan Santana

    The salary cap and salary floor should be the same number.

    To make Baseball more interesting we should implement rule changes that encourages more fighting and playing dirty. Like spiking a player when sliding into a base. An elbow to the face, and it should be mandatory that a player charges the mound after getting hit by pitch. Also you should get suspended if you don’t throw a punch that lands when the benches clear and go on the field to add/ break up a fight.

    I am not going to do the research on this. But how many team walks do we have and how does that compare to teams of the past. That should be taken into consideration with the crappy batting averages.

    I like it when position players pitch. It’s a move against wearing your pen out against a team that just obliterated you that day, that you have to face again the next day. if I was a hitter I would be doing everything I could to pad my stats. You get paid for hits, HRs and RBIs. I never hear at the end of a season that a player who gets 100 RBI got 3 cheap ones in a blowout win and is really only a 97 RBI guy.

    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.

    in mlbtraderumors they said his velocity is down and he is walked 4 in 2 innings so its not like he is not looking good as a pitcher at this point. I might have given him another outing to show he can straighten out but i get the logic in bringing in pitchers who can throw strikes. and maybe they can keep him in AAA to get straightened out and brought back up.
  9. Brandon
    Arreaz to LF? He could get a majority to the starts there. or can Urshala handle it?
  10. Brandon
    Remember Dave Kingman. That is all.

    Goday and Sisco for 3 and 4. Banuelos would probably be 5 he has good defense but can't hit at all.
  12. Brandon
    You can never have too much offense.... Right? If it works for pitching.....
  13. Brandon
    https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/04/outrights-godoy-bazardo-adolfo.html Looks like we have 2 number 3 Catchers for depth at AAA. Though that makes it harder for Banuelos to make his debut this year as the next Butera.
  14. Brandon
    Upton would have to be convinced he could get enough playing time at 1B, all 3 OF spots and DH. It seems there may be more of an opportunity with the Pads if he wants more opportunity. THat will be hard to top.
  15. Brandon
    Arreaz at 5 is iffy i do like the concept of this year only rankings. But the tier groups mess up actual rankings
  16. 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.
  17. Brandon
    I vote Al
  18. Brandon
    Exactly This!
  19. Brandon
    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?
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. Brandon
    I think Rooker could be the Twins DH this year once he gets over his shoulder issue and gets on a roll. I say DL him if the shoulder is the issue and keep him when he comes off the DL and play him and see what happens. There is nothing wrong with giving someone who can hit with power a chance to show he can hit regularly enough otherwise.
  23. Brandon
    What is your favorite Butera moment with the Twins?
  24. 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.
  25. 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.
