    So we sign Adams, Dozier, and Nelson Cruz and our lineup is full of power with Sano, Rosario, Austin, and Kepler all providing 20 - 40 HR pop
  2. Brandon
    I think Nelson Cruz is the best bet as power is the last skill to go. He will hit 30 HR next year. The question will be when his legs give out and he runs like Pujols.

    I always enjoy seeing the unheralded players make their way and be successful. Brian Harper is one of my all time favorites as he also transformed himself from a power hitter to a Joe Mauer type of hitter without the walks. other examples include Shane Mack, Jeff Reboulet, Junior Ortiz had a nice breakout season with the Twins. I doubt Nick Punto has the career he had without being on the Twins, Carl Willis had a nice 4 or 5 year run, Juan Berenger, Matt Guerrier, Brandon Kintzler, Johan Santana wasnt supposed to be an ace either or he wouldn't be had in the rule 5.

    The Twins had a 1rst round pick that was a first baseman. ... Travis Lee i think...

    They should sign a reliever maybe two this offseason. There are several mid relievers I like from the list on a 2 year deal. Though I wonder who is available in a trade?

    Cheap is good, sushi is good, cheap sushi not so good. I agree that Polanco is fine at SS but it also depends on what are other options are for SS and 2B. This article talks about 2 options a better defensive yet worse hitter in Iglesias and an extremely expensive better hitter in Machado. Between these two options yes Polanco should ve the SS choice and Lowrie would be a good 2B option if he doesnt resign with Oakland. I have't researched the 2B and SS options yet in bith FA and trade....remember we have tons of young player capital and i wouldnt be surprised if we used some to reahape the roster.

    I expect the Twins to do more trading then signing this offseason. Though I can see some dumpster diving for relievers, a run at Escobar, after that it depends on what the Twins aquire with their stable of prospect they now have.

    Seth, This is probably one of your best articles I've read yet. and I've been reading your work for over 10 years now... You did a great job of story telling here. I really wanted to see what happened next throughout the article. It felt like watching a short story on TV...

    I think a drum would have to be in the of bleachers. Also he could make his walk up song one that promotes yelling too.

    If Grossman can keep a .360 obp, I hope he is back next season. We are short in the obp area on offense and if Mauer retires then we are shorter still. A bench with Astudillo, Cave, Grossman, Garver, and Adrianza is possible I guess. Especially if Astudillo plays a passable 3B.
  11. Brandon
    I would like for us to sign Bartolo Colon to pitch to Astudillo next year. That would be fun to watch for sure. (note: the video above called Astudillo little sexy).

    Maybe the Twins want their players to see the buried Cadillacs out there in Amarillo.

    Poppin is quitely climbing the minor league ladder quickly. He started lsst year in Cedar Rapids and is now in AA. What does his scouting report say?
  14. Brandon
    So does he plan on becomming a Twins coach when his playing days are over?
  15. Brandon
    For some reason I like the idea of rooting for Gimenez more than Wilson. Still this deal is rated as... huh? I agree with luckylager above that Gimenez has a future as a minor league manager here. Maybe Molitors eventual replacement.

    I am happy with both of their drafts = A. I am happy with their trades for the prospects after missing on Ohteni= A. I was happy with both offseasons = A-. I was highly disappointed the team didnt do anything to plug a few holes early in the season when the shiznitt hit the fan but before we fell too far back. We had Lynn, Escobar, and Ehire. We needed a 1B/DH, and a C, and maybe an OF. We could have aquired a few of these pieces at a low to medium cost = F COWARDS... you should get a refund on your season tickets last May when this happened as it was obvious then that the front office gave up on the season before the quarter point. Mid season trades for prospects = C- no teams top 10 prospects and appeared to start quitting on 2019 too with Pressley trade. Nice pick up of Cave in spring training... overall they overall they get a C ....quitting on a season before the quarter point is a fireable offense and should never happen again. Honestly if i spent 130 million off your recommendations, i would prefer to throw a few million more in season to get a return on my investment. It would have helped fan interest.... On the future/ prospect side they get an A.

    Im curious as to what would make Magill better? His control has improved and his fastball speed is legit. Is it too straight? Does he have a viable 2nd pitch? Would love to see a scouting report on him.
  18. Brandon
    Also neil walker, and kinsler will be fa too. Not sure about kipnis. But i know there will be lots of options available to play 2b.
  19. Brandon
    If he can hit around a .750-780 OPS, with solid defense, as long as the concussions arent a problem he should suit up at least another year or two. Outside of moving Sano to first we wont have a great candidate till Rooker is deemed ready mid next season. I would like to see Joe add to his career totals.
  20. Brandon
    I agree with this artcle. Lets do it. Have a piggy back ride...rotation...
  21. Brandon
    Looks like the entire pen could use a breather. They should make a move or two to protect the arms in the pen.
  22. Brandon
    The bullpen looks fine going into next year. We may need to sign a decent arm and maybe a minor league contract for added competition. But I feel good about our rotation and pen moving forward.
  23. Brandon
    Buxton needs reps after a lost season of injuries. Can we send him to the instructional league? Or winter leagues
  24. Brandon
    Judging by his name Kai-Wei must be a change up specialist. Kai-Wei Teng.... waiting.....terrible i know..
  25. Brandon
    I like this return better than Watson and 500k international cap space for our closer last year.
