  1. In the early-mid sixties I was just old enough to become aware of baseball, so that era is heaped in nostalgia for me. Don Mincher was surrounded by some Twins greats, and played on a great team (1965), and as strumdatjag stated, he had some solid seasons. However ,to call him a Twins great is a stretch. That said, well researched and enjoyable read!
  2. One of your top 3 all time posts👍
  3. They might be, but it's still early for that supposition. The trend of this front office has been for some late action. Give it at least until the start of spring training to wave the white flag.
  4. This is no longer about Carlos Correa, the baseball player. It's taken on a life of its own. Replicating his 2022 season as a Minnesota Twin would be cool, otherwise.... fuhgeddaboudit (I'd like a second shot at a full season with a healthy Buxton and Correa)
  5. I enjoyed watching Correa this year, both as a shortstop, and also as a leader on the field. However, speed is not one of his attributes. Was he notably faster earlier in his career with the Astros?
  6. Same here. I feel for Giants fans. [ My favorite NL team, since the demise of the Expos..] Such a bad look for baseball.
  7. I wonder if Dior has a return policy. Couldn't resist, but in all seriousness, not going to speculate. It's very intriguing, and just going to watch it play out.
  8. Some say there is no such thing. (just don't tell David Ortiz)
  9. "Can Joey Gallo Rebound from Rock-Bottom in Minnesota"? Depending on how that is read, it could be a headline for next season. Uplifting article, though.
  10. Wouldn't surprise me at all.
  11. A little gallows humour in the signing of Joey Gallo?
  12. Giants vs Twins at Target Field - May 22-24 (Mon-Wed) Snide Dior posters; ? trashcans; ? appreciative applause? Should be fun...
  13. Until Buxton's career is over, I'll never give up on that dream....lol
  14. Some of that subtraction, freeing up cash for a front line starter (Rodon)+ a healthy Buxton = success.
  15. Wish him well. Also hope his post baseball life, whenever that may be, is stable. It was disappointing to read of Yasiel Puig, and Sano came to mind, given past issues.
  16. Just an aside. Given how this season has gone for Houston, and the remarkable post season of Jeremy Pena, I wonder how Correa feels about all that. Any regrets? And how will it impact his negotiations as a free agent, if at all?
  17. Seriously? They'd have a better chance signing Judge Judy.?
  18. "It is better to have Correa'd and lost, than to have never Correa'd at all. " It is sad, though, that we'll never know what might have been with a full season of Correa AND Buxton.
  19. In a bizarre all or nothing season, Berrios has actually been pitching well of late. I think he's always been slow to adapt. Remember his horrendous intro to the majors? This time, he's had to adjust to a new team for the first time, AND a new country, with the pressure of living up to his contract. In the long run, the Jays may yet be pleased with the outcome of this trade. I don't know if Berrios spends the off season in Puerto Rico, but Toronto winters, where I live, are probably quite similar to Minneapolis?
  20. I'd much rather see Arraez prevent him from doing it.
  21. Kudo's to Nick Gordon. I thought Jorge Lopez did a creditable job in the night cap, as well.
