    Yankees don’t want a $8M outfielder who can’t hit.
  2. Reptevia
    No. In Kepler they would get no hitting help.
  3. Reptevia
    Last minute is right before upgrade acquisitions run out. That is different every year.
  4. Reptevia
    I doubt the Astros take a step back. I could see the starting pitching taking a step forward. Certainly better than last year. Considering we don’t know if Kiriloff will ever play again and Larnach’s history of injuries and not really having shown he belongs, this seems highly unlikely. Miranda could also sophomore slump. ( that’s probably more likely) I think Duran staying healthy is 50/50 Jeffers being an all star or even a legit MLB catcher is VERY unlikely

    I like the creativity.

    “The Twins still have plenty of confidence in Ryan Jeffers“. Why?
  7. Reptevia
    “The Twins have depth in the outfield with Larnach, Kirilloff, Celestino, Wallner, Garlick and technically Gordon. “. There is not a single player on this list that either doesn’t come with an injury history or has never proved they belong. Even though it’s only one year, I’ll give you Gordon. The rest are flyer prospects at this point.

    This either prices the Twins out or raises the price/years too high to be tenable. I believe it also puts Swanson out of reach. Twins should concentrate on a Kepler replacement, some bullpen help and a starting catcher.

    This is a very rare thing to happen. Draft lotteries have not been kind to Minnesota.
  10. Reptevia
    Nope. Defensive analytics get WAY too much value. Especially in a position where most teams hide defensive liabilities.
  11. Reptevia
    YES!
  12. Reptevia
    JUST like last year.

    Except he’s not the backup to Buxton. Celestino or some unknown poor replacement is inserted instead. Also, how many times did Max bat cleanup last year? (Forty Seven!?!?!). It’s getting to the point that getting him gone is the only way to take these bad decisions out of Rocco’s hands. How many bad hitters can the Twins “hide” in their lineup?
  15. Reptevia
    Who are these “handful” of proven position guys??? Polanco maybe, but I believe he’s in decline. Buxton plus whomever= an average CF. I’m having a really hard time coming up with a second “proven” guy, let alone a handful.
  16. Reptevia
    I’d give them Kepler, Pagán and Arraez.
  17. Reptevia
    C: Ryan Jeffers 1B: Alex Kirilloff 2B: Jorge Polanco 3B: Jose Miranda SS: Kyle Farmer LF: Trevor Larnach CF: Byron Buxton RF: Max Kepler DH: Luis Arraez Jeffers isn’t a MLB hitter. Kiriloff may never play again. Polanco is in decline both O and D. Miranda solid O, average D. Farmer will be fine. Larnach has injury history and has never proven he belongs. Buxton is Buxton, but CF is average with Celestino backing up 2/3 of games. Kepler is a 5th OF defensive replacement type player. Arraez will be ok if he’s here. Five large question marks out of starting nine. Getting to .500 will be very difficult. I would say impossible with this lineup.
  18. Reptevia
    I look at it more as production from CF. He has to play enough healthy games in CF to counteract the negative WAR his replacements give us. Otherwise, we’re getting average production over the season as a whole.
  19. Reptevia
    This signing also puts a little pressure on Correa et al, as the Twins are demonstrating they have a back up plan.
  20. Reptevia
    Our OF is great??? We have a huge question in left. Two guys with injury histories who have too small of a sample size to really evaluate if they’re any good. CF, when you combine Buxton and whomever’s numbers is average over the whole season. RF is missing a MLB hitter. That’s “great”? Infield was not average last year. They were well below average, even with Correa. Catcher is missing a MLB player or two. Oddly, the only thing that looks ok is the starting rotation.
  21. Reptevia
    I don’t see this lineup scoring enough runs to be above .500. Too many bad or hugely questionable players.
  22. Reptevia
    Like we’re finding with all aspects of this team: roster construction matters! Way too many flyers. How many Hyundai’s do you have to watch being towed before you buy a Toyota?
  23. Reptevia
    I would rather stand pat on SP and go get an actual MLB catcher.
  24. Reptevia
    None of it makes sense for this team. Correa or some “Ace”. It only makes sense for a small market team if they’re one or two players away. The Twins are at least 6 players away. Most on here are ready to pencil in Larnach, Kiriloff, Lee, Lewis et al on a minuscule sample size. On the other hand, most want to keep Kepler despite a substantial sample size indicating his decline. None of it is realistic.
  25. Reptevia
    The same ‘ok on the forums…”They need to go buy an ace or #2”!!!! When has that ever happened? Should the current staff stay even a little healthy, they should be an average staff. That’s more than a lot of teams have. Bottom line is, we’re not one pitcher or one SS away from playoff contenders. We are sub-par at RF, LF, 1b, C, SS and probably CF. Without a competent backup to Buxton, CF over the whole year is roughly League replacement level. Given all the current lineup needs, is it a wise time to be trading away all their potential replacements?
