    Don't like it, want consistent rules in each league. Crazy to play on way all year with a few exceptions during interleague play, then in WS have to play differently on the road.
  2. 4twinsJA
    Yes, anxious for information on prospects. Unfortunately, probably not going to be much given no MiLB and no stats from alternate sites. Looking forward to Prospects Handbook, whatever form it will be, I am sure will read every word.
  3. 4twinsJA
    Really enjoying these discussion, great job. I agree with y'all, Rosario hard to bring back. Rogers only one that is not an easy sign, but would bring him back.
  4. 4twinsJA
    If Cruz not back and don't sign front line starting pitcher, Sano could be second highest paid player on team. Hoping Twins let Rooker, Kirilloff be up at start of season. Cave as 4th OF.Sign decent IF backup like Hernandez, give Blankenhorn a shot, Jeffers is no-brainer for me. Sign FA pitcher or Odorizzi, along with Dobnak at SP,one solid RP maybe Treinen, along with May, Rogers, then look for the next Wisler. Still have Stashek, Littel, Theilbar, Smeltzer, Thorpe to battle for last 2 spots.Has to be some Twins pitching prospects ready to get a shot in MLB, only pitcher made their MLB debut last year for Twins-Colina for one out. Hopefully play a full season next year and young pitchers get opportunities.

    Why would anyone trade for Rosario. Twins will nontender him and someone can sign him for less then what Rosario would get in arbitration. Free agency will be interesting this year, the top players will probably still get top dollar but others might be signed at bargain rates.
  6. 4twinsJA
    If Twins can do another Maeda type trade where Twins give up a player of good value but receive a high quality player that fills a need, then yes/
  7. 4twinsJA
    Great job last night, enjoyed it. I am for putting the Twins money towards pitching, seems to be weaker with MLB ready prospects. Not a fan of signing aging pitchers, no Hill or Romo, apprehensive about Clippard. Add FA starter-Odorizzi? and closer. Hitting may be some drop off from Cruz and Rosario with young players, hope would not be worse than Marwin, Avila, and Adrianza. May be able to find cheap FA shortstop, infield player. Difficult to predict FA market this year, may be some bargains out there.
  8. 4twinsJA
    Agree Twins generally need to look at Musgrove type pitchers. Someone who has potential, probably not going to be able to afford or attract the top free agents. Twins do have some trade capital with prospects, but would hate to part with any of the top prospects. How about Cave, Wade, or some lower prospects.
  9. 4twinsJA
    I would think there will be some major attrition in the minors this year. Players just moving on with their lives. So much uncertainty with COVID and changes to minor league system.
  10. 4twinsJA
    With this shortened year did not get to see many young pitchers. In 2019, 9 pitchers made their MLB debut with the Twins, 2020 only one, for 1/3 of an inning. Should be some young pitchers get their opportunity in 2021. By the way, of the 9 pitchers who made their debut in 2019, 4 are no longer with the Twins and I think only two were on playoff roster this year-Dobnak and Stashek. Hoping for better results the next couple of years.
  11. 4twinsJA
    Thanks Seth, looking forward to it.
  12. 4twinsJA
    Will there be a Twins Prospect Handbook this year?
  13. 4twinsJA
    Like top 3 for next year, couple of questions; can they consistently pitch into 7th inning and will RB let them pitch into 7th, Would like to add proven starter, Odorizzi? and 1-2 other possible starters to compete with Dobnak and Duran, maybe Thorpe or Smeltzer can bounce back.
  14. 4twinsJA
    Thope, Smeltzer are 2 years from arbitration, will likely be somewhere in Twins system next year. Both have looked good at times, but have struggled to go more than 3-4 IP at a time, maybe bullpen candidates.
  15. 4twinsJA
    Why trade away someone you are under paying? Keep them, then you can over pay for a key piece you are missing. Resign Cruz and/or add pitching. Seems pitching is the biggest question mark in Twins system.
  16. 4twinsJA
    I like Wade, seems to be a good teammate, plays hard, plays within himself. But I agree, maybe time to move on to prospects with higher potential. Look for Wade and Cave to be on roster to start season, with eventual replacement by Kirilloff, Rooker, and/or Larnach.
  17. 4twinsJA
    Maybe go all in with pitching, resign Odorizzi and get Bauer, try to get another arm in BP, let Cruz go and play young players
  18. 4twinsJA
    Some of the biggest questions are what the season will look like. Will there be a normal season with spring training, minor league baseball, attendance at games? With all the uncertainty, can see Twins tightening the budget. Twins appear to have plenty of young players on cusp of breaking into MLB, maybe they go cheap and give them a shot.
  19. 4twinsJA
    Adrainza would be cheap, even if you sign him will not be out much if someone moves past him for playing time, With that said, I am all for a youth movement, Time to give Gordon, Blankenhorn, Jeffers, Kirilloff, and Rooker opportunities to see what they can do at MLB level, Lewis and Larnach may be mid to late season callups.
  20. 4twinsJA
    Think attendance will be upgraded to limited maybe 10,000 per game. Cruz is a big question mark for me, maybe bring back only if price is right. Hitting is waiting in St. Paul, give some young player a chance. Pitching is always in flux, especially relievers, will need to add a couple but again there are some young pitchers that should get their opportunity. I know RB likes veteran players but some of present Twins will need to take on that role instead of adding someone.
  21. 4twinsJA
    Great list, hard to argue about order. Thanks Cooper.
  22. 4twinsJA
    Yes with Rocco. I feel sometimes he is too loyal to the veterans, sticking with them too long. Hard to judge this year, a normal year things would have played out differently, prospects would have had more opportunities.
  23. 4twinsJA
    I am in the reload camp. Give some young players opportunities and see how they develop. Jeffers, Rooker, Kiriloff, Blankenhorn, Gordon to replace Adrianza, Marwin, Avila, Austidillo, Cave, Wade. Lewis and Larnach probably a year away. Agree Rosario probably gone, with Cruz's dropoff at end of year not as high on him, maybe one more year. Everything should be evaluated-players, coaches, training. Hitting drop off this year, not saying fire hitting coach but may need to evaluate how he is doing things.
  24. 4twinsJA
    Twins were here last year, had checkbook in hand to pay for top pitching and no one wanted to come to Minnesota. It will not be as easy as just paying top dollar for a top pitcher. Maeda worked out great this year, someone like him, that is a little under appreciated. Position players, I am in for a overhaul, but maybe not to the extent your asking for, a youth movement with prospects. I am not in for Cruz, major drop off last month, is that a sign of things to come, definitely not 2 year contract.
  25. 4twinsJA
    I am not opposed to shortening the season, but 124 will not happen. By the way, I believe in NFL 1 in each division plays 1 and 4, 2 plays 2 and 3 from other divisions within conference, making it a little more equitable. 6 divisional games, 6 games against other 3 divisions in conference, and 4 same division from other conference.
