    If Yates willing to come to Twins and will sign for 5M, I am all for it. Plus Cruz, Simmons, and Walker. Cruz on one yr. contract, Simmons fine with 2 yr. will have other offers at 2 yrs., Walker, thought Twins missed on him last year, signing Bailey to 7M contract and only offering Walker a minor league deal. 2-3 yr. deal for Walker.

    Would not mind Porcello for added depth like Bailey. Chacin last year. But not to be 4th starter. Would rather see what younger prospects would look like, don't like trying to get one last rebound year out of a declining veteran pitcher.

    Getting fewer chairs in the game of musical chairs. Hope Twins make a move soon.
  4. 4twinsJA
    Twins would have never offered a record breaking contract to a reliever. Still some good options left at reasonable contracts. The sky is not falling yet, but White Sox have definitely made some significant moves to improve.
  5. 4twinsJA
    Looking forward to prospect report, there has been quite a bit of attrition and changes.
  6. 4twinsJA
    Like closer by committee, matchups, who's pitching well, don't think Twins need to designate a traditional closer.
  7. 4twinsJA
    I would like to see Twins sign Cruz, Simmons at SS, another potential high leverage reliever, Hand, and a middle of rotation starting pitcher. Castillo would be great, if price not too high, he would be my choice.
  8. 4twinsJA
    Looks like Twins may have 5 RH starting pitchers, would be good to have plenty of LH in bullpen. Bring on Hand, with Rogers, Theilbar, and possibly Smeltzer, Thorpe, or Waddell.
  9. 4twinsJA
    Probably buying high with Kiki since coming off being part of WS win. Would consider other options, don't think Lewis is ready.
  10. 4twinsJA
    I think Wisler and agent just wanted more money than slotted to get. Not sure arbitration works-club offer, player offer and arbitrator decides? Don't know why Twins would release Wisler if could have had arbitration decide, unless afraid arbitrator would give too much. Ace brings up a good point, how to give credit for alternate site play last year. People say some of these prospects don't have enough AA or AAA at bats. But, at alternate site were hitting against AAA and AA pitchers last year. No stats available to fans, but sure Twins kept stats in some manner.
  11. 4twinsJA
    Hard to see this as anything but a win-win for both Twins and Saints.
  12. 4twinsJA
    My blueprint might be called a youth movement. I like adding Simmons at SS, a FA pitcher like Richards around 5M, Hand at RP, resign Rogers. Then fill in with youth like: Kirilloff, Rooker, Blankenhorn, Waddell, Dobnak, Colina, or 1-2M FAs. Twins have so many players on the verge of MLB can't see investing a lot of money into FAs.

    Enjoyed interview, Seth. Twins look like they have quality prospects on the verge of MLB. I really like Rooker, average defense but plus hitter. Like to hear comments on how much interaction players had with Twins coaches, Rooker said he thought he really progressed during that time even though not playing games.

    Matt Wallner commented on Seth's interview on how much it was an adjustment playing everyday, compared to college. Being able to get in the right mind set each game. MLB is a grind. Yogi Berra said "Half the game is 90% mental".
  15. 4twinsJA
    Thanks Seth, great to hear from a lifelong Twins fan, hope Matt continues to develop and progress up the Twins system. Sounds like players had great communication with Twins staff when working on their own.
  16. 4twinsJA
    Would be a big improvement for Twins. GCL and low A in Florida, high A Cedar Rapids, AA at Wichita, and AAA St Paul. Are there a direct flights from Wichita to Minneapolis?
  17. 4twinsJA
    Hiring LaRussa was always a train wreck waiting to happen.
  18. 4twinsJA
    Not a fan of signing aging, declining players, If Twins go bargain, maybe just go internal and see what Gordon and Blankenhorn can do until Lewis and/or others are ready. I can see signing one FA and using one internal option for 2 utility infield spots.
  19. 4twinsJA
    Cody is an exciting prospect. Hope he continues to improve and impress. Kind of an underdog, coming from a rural area, low profile college. Like his attitude to attack the batter.
  20. 4twinsJA
    Would like to sign a closer type to share duties with Rogers and possibly Duffy, Alcala. Also an additional RP, bounce back candidate or Clippard type. Already signed 2 projects. Have Wisler, Theilbar, Colina, Stashek, Thorpe, Smeltzer, and may be some other young pitchers to fill out BP. Top 4 plus Wisler and second FA, last 2 from group listed.
  21. 4twinsJA
    Put Kirilloff on opening day roster, service time issue is a travesty. I would not extend him this year, but do it before arbitration like Twins did with Polonco and Kepler. One MLB game not enough to extend. Kirilloff is ready no need to go to AAA. Reports from alternate site say he hit between .400 and .500, hope that means he is a great hitter and not that the pitching was bad.
  22. 4twinsJA
    Hope Twins give Travis a good look in MLB in 2021. In past, seems MLB clubs don't have many rookies on opening day roster, may be different next year with basically a lost MiLB season this year. May make more economic sense for rookies next year instead of veteran FAs at 2-3 times the cost.
  23. 4twinsJA
    What about prospects, could TD have a couple of episodes about SP and RP in Twins organization?
  24. 4twinsJA
    Hard to argue against givens, Colina would be gone if not added. Rortvedt makes sense to me. Hope Twins active in trade market, can see them moving some players presently on 40 man and throwing in a player or two from Seth's consideration list.
  25. 4twinsJA
    I agree with Cody, Twins did well on trade. Escobar was going to be a FA after that season. Twins were bad that season. If they get anything from any of those 3 players at the MLB level, it is a positive trade for the Twins. The other 2 may never make the MLB level, but Duran looks good and could be a long term MLB contributor. Twins knew it was going to take time to get any return from trade.
