    If we have relegated ourselves to re-signing Simmons, the off-season didn't go as planned. At that point, we should shift to sell mode. Get as close to mlb ready prospects for Buxton, Garver or Jeffers, Sano, Donaldson... We seem to have a good young core that is close to mlb ready. Let's use next year as our year to develop talent, and let's kick butt again in 2023 for many years to come.

    That is what I was thinking. When I was looking at the photo with the jersey's I was thinking that they are all pretty solid jerseys, except that we don't have any pinstripe uni's! I think they need to mix those in.

    I'm going to go with Andrelton Simmons. We won't invest money in a quality shortstop. We won't have any options ready for next year. I would guess the best option the Twins will see would be to resign Simmons. How could he get any worse, he can only get better.
  4. baul0010
    I don't think he needs to be a starter or push anyone. If Gordon can play even little short, second, and outfield, he could pair nicely with Astudillo. Between the 2 of them they'd have the whole diamond covered position wise. Not gold glovers but they could be 2 of the better utility players. It could free up 2 roster spots for who knows what....maybe 15 pitchers instead of 13!

    It's good to see Nick doing well. I was hoping he'd get a chance this year. He sounds like a great young kid.
  6. baul0010
    Good for Mercedes...bout time someone manned up and swung and a meatball.
  7. baul0010
    They have way bigger issues to worry about!
  8. baul0010
    I can barely say "unwritten rules" without shaking my head now, Anyone that whines about people breaking these unwritten rules needs to get with the times. After seeing what a baseball can do to someone's face (kirby puckett/kevin pillar) what are we even talking about. The guy hit a homerun off of a 40+mph pitch off of Willians Astudillo!!!!! If you have any thoughts of contending for anything, division title, playoffs, a world series, you better not be pitching Astudillo....EVER. Trevor Bauer had it right. If you don't like it, play better.

    I take back everything...I want Badoo back.
  10. baul0010
    I'm happy for Akil. I had posted similar before. The kid needed a chance and was behind many on the depth chart. If you look at the list of MLBers who have homered in their first at bat...it's a pretty forgettable list. Great for Akil, hope he does well, but I doubt he has a career as good as Kirilloff/Larnach/Celestino.
  11. baul0010
    In realty, when would Badoo have a chance to even see the field for the Twins. I would think he's been passed by Celestino and we still have Buxton. This is why the rule 5 draft is available. Give the kid a shot at playing in the majors. I hope he makes it and does well. Better than being a Twins minor leaguer for life. It isn't the fact that we don't like them...the system is set up for them to get a better chance at playing major league ball. At the end of the day, isn't that the dream of every player.
  12. baul0010
    Lacks speed... Tony Gwynn had no speed. He did alright.
  13. baul0010
    I'm not worried about his hitting! From the little I saw from the game yesterday, he needs to figure out how to make a throw from 2nd. It doesn't help that Sano has issues catching and scooping a throw.
  14. baul0010
    I don't think it's a matter of being willing. If he couldn't walk with the protection the Twins lineup gave him he certainly won't having no protection in Cleveland's lineup. I hope Eddie does well, but why would a pitcher throw him a strike. Besides Eddie swinging at everything outside the zone, even if he walks, pitchers won't feel threatened with anyone coming up behind him. Unless he's hitting in front of Ramirez, but I feel like Eddie will be hitting behind Jose.

    Didn't Romero trying bringing Marijuana into the US? Or something dumb like that?
  16. baul0010
    I hope Gordan has a good spring and can stick with the team. That young man needs to catch a break!
  17. baul0010
    That is a good question? It would be interesting. I like Brian but he was a career .240 hitter with just over 1,000 career hits. The Twins have some very good ballplayers in their Hall of Fame. I don't want to say he'd be watering down the Hall of Fame...But Christian Guzman almost had that many hits in a Twins uniform and he isn't getting anywhere near the Twins Hall of Fame!
  18. baul0010
    Meh. He was a fun story a couple years ago. If we are seriously trying for a title we better not be playing astudillo regularly. If we have an injury to Donaldson and our best replacement is la turtuga, we're going to be in trouble. That same logic applies all over the diamond. If it's 1st, we have Kirilloff or Rooker. Outfield help better be Larnach or Rooker. We should be in position to have better prospects fill in in case of injury. I think Astudillo should want a trade to a non-contending team that could use him. Get some at bats with the Orioles and get a payday out of it.
  19. baul0010
    I had already forgotten about that! They should have thrown in a little extra as a make up gift.
  20. baul0010
    I like that idea. He'd be a good fallback option if Kirilloff struggles as well. I doubt he'd break the bank either. Our roster is filling out nicely now and he would add great depth.
  21. baul0010
    I love listening to Keith Law, but some of his prospect takes are not as accurate as his other insights. I think Jordan will be a good pitching prospect but Duran has amazing stuff. I could see why he'd be rated higher.
  22. baul0010
    It didn't look like he was trying to be cute. The second half of last season it looked like he forgot how to throw strikes. He used to be slightly out of the zone and by the end of last year was missing the zone wildly.
  23. baul0010
    Exactly what I was thinking. I'd be happy with serviceable again? All-Star seems like a ceiling that's a bit too high for Dobnak.
  24. baul0010
    We put up with Buxton not hitting because his defence is amazing. I feel like Royce could provide above average defence at a few positions, as well as getting the attention of the major league staff. Hopefully they could get him favorable at bats and get a marwinesque .235 batting average with better defence.
  25. baul0010
    I'm in favor of no more Marwin. If we have a normalish minor league season I think he should play everyday. But I don't think practicing in St. Paul for 2 seasons will be good for Royce's development. I guess there is still too many questions about the season yet.
