    I think it would be great to see Kirilloff at first and Larnach in left against right handed starters. I am just not sure the Twins will start the season that way.
  2. yeahyabetcha
    Your 10 first mentioned, are locks. If they start with 13 position players, that leaves 3 spots. My prediction would be Gordon, Godoy and some right handed outfielder. I don’t think Larnach makes the opening day roster, even if he has a good spring training.
  3. yeahyabetcha
    They likely see a lefty opening day, so I would leave Arraez and Kepler on the bench. DH is Sanchez, Rooker in right field?
  4. yeahyabetcha
    I wouldn’t make that trade, but I consider Kiriloff pretty much untouchable.
  5. yeahyabetcha
    We’re the Twins “tanking” when they traded Cruz for two prospects?
  6. yeahyabetcha
    I suspect it will take more money to sign the three than you propose. But if the two pitchers can be signed for close to that, go for it, they need someone to provide some innings Pass on Story, I would rather resign Simmons.
  7. yeahyabetcha
    I think I agree with you. If Kirillof handles it, he gets the most time at first base. Dh can be shared by Sano, Donaldson, Arraez and Garver depending on health and production.
  8. yeahyabetcha
    From the small sample size of what I observed, he needs to figure out some things at the plate yet and when he was playing left field any hit to the gap seemed to be a double for anyone with at least average speed. Hopefully he gains some experience in St Paul to start the season and improves.
  9. yeahyabetcha
    Grienke will likely only get one year offers from teams. Why would he choose the Twins?
  10. yeahyabetcha
    I suppose there is stat that shows Arraez is a better fielding SS than Simmons as well.
  11. yeahyabetcha
    Would you offer him a 3 or 4 year deal?
  12. yeahyabetcha
    Why don’t they just bring up last year’s entire draft class and see if they are part of future or not?
  13. yeahyabetcha
    I vote no to Story or to moving Polanco back. I prefer trading Sano, Arraez for pitching. I am ok with an infield of Kiriloff, Polanco, glove first SS free agent and Donaldson. Gordon and Miranda as backups.
  14. yeahyabetcha
    How much did Rodon make last year?
  15. yeahyabetcha
    I wouldn’t say I think Buxton is “so awesome and important”. I think he has the potential to have a great year and would invest the 10 million or whatever it takes to see it in a Twins uniform. And if other teams think he is an injury risk, they may not offer more than fringe prospects.
  16. yeahyabetcha
    If over paying for a part time player or trading him for a couple of fringe prospects are the other options, would that change your mind?
  17. yeahyabetcha
    Why can’t just paying him his arbitration deal this year and playing the season out be an option?
  18. yeahyabetcha
    It isn’t 2019 anymore. He will be 39 years old and has barely pitched in two years. Sure, give him 20 million.
  19. yeahyabetcha
    No to both. The Twins need innings eaters, some pitchers that are able to consistently give them that 5 or 6 inning outing that most teams ask for nowadays. Not some aged, overpriced guy who might pitch or might not.
  20. yeahyabetcha
    Any outfield talk has to begin with Buxton. My preferred OF for next year would be Kiriloff-Buxton-Kepler. Having said that, I think many of the proposed, incentive based extensions that many have offered are pie in the sky. At worst, why wouldn’t Buxton just take his 8 million this year, have a monster year and wait for the $200 million offers next year? Any who want to sign Buxton now at any cost, need to come to terms with this may be where the Buxton camp is at.
  21. yeahyabetcha
    He should be considered, however not sure he would be a wise investment even at 3 years at $15/year. What the Twins rotation needs most is a pitcher that can provide innings. Not one of their top prospects can be expected to pitch for much more than 100 innings next year, and that includes Ober and Ryan. I don’t care if the guy is classified as a #1 or 5, whatever ever that means any way. They need some starters than could be expected to provide 150 innings next year.
  22. yeahyabetcha
    The five you mentioned are exactly the ones I would use in a DH rotation. And I would not trade any of them away, as I would not expect the return to be better than what these 5 will contribute.
  23. yeahyabetcha
    To a one year deal, maybe, if healthy. Not sure if either would pick the Twins in that case. Absolutely not to a long term deal.
  24. yeahyabetcha
    Unless offered an deal too hard to say no to (not gonna happen), he won’t be traded. He is a very good hitter, is affordable. And his replacements are questionable at this point.
  25. yeahyabetcha
    Was it “absolute blunder” when the other 5 teams he played for gave up on him as well?
