    I agree you can never have enough good pitching. I like our depth and what you mentioned about improved defense goes a long way. Still trading for an ace is very appealing, not only gaining an ace but also making room on the 40 man roster of redundant players for needed ones.
  2. Doctor Gast
    I'm very pleased with the rotation. Dobnak, Thorpe and even Smeltzer, Baldelli was impressed with. So we can handle Happ's setback
  3. Doctor Gast
    If Baez is willing come over to join Berrios on a reasonable deal I'd jump on it. Otherwise Simmons is a great plan B. Give Lewis some time to heal

    I like that the FO is focusing on defense as well as bats. All the RH LFers are having a good spring training. Garlic and Broxton are the best but Broxton stand out. His glove and speed alone qualifies him to be put on the 40 man, which we desperately need as a PR, Buxton or defensive replacement. His break out hitting makes it a no brainer. It seems to me also that's there a player option. I'd give up all hope in the Twins if they let him walk.
  5. Doctor Gast
    Great that they're willing to negotiate. He's beefed up, Let's get it done.
  6. Doctor Gast
    Pineda had a great outing which strengthened the depth of our rotation outlook.
  7. Doctor Gast
    IMO he'll be back. Pineda had a very nice outing
  8. Doctor Gast
    IMO many positions are up for grabs. MN has just as much chance of winning the ALC as anyone. They maybe an ace away from cementing it.
  9. Doctor Gast
    I've been very encouraged on progress of the players. The starting rotation has been wonderful, Berrios, Maeda, Shoemaker, Thorpe and Dobnak (even not having Simmons or Donaldson in the lineup). Pineda and Happ haven't pitched yet hope they do well. The starting line-up has done well, just think when they are all together. The players that are vying for the extra spots (Broxton, Garlic, Rooker, Astudillo and Lin) are doing well; Broxton seems more relaxed and more disciplined at the plate. Initially the relievers are having difficulty but they are working it out. But most of all Simmons is in camp. When everyone gets their ABs and the team start playing together, look out!

    What really hurts is that it was a fluke accident
  11. Doctor Gast
    To me this is the best move the Twins has done in recent history. Polanco became an all star at SS because of his bat and because of his bat many fans wanted him to stay there. But this move will be easier for for him to stay healthy and accomplish his full potential as an all star, gold glove and even as a MVP in 2019 he was projected.
  12. Doctor Gast
    I'd say this evaluation is pretty close. Although I'd project Polanco much higher. Being more relaxed and healthier I'd put him right behind Kepler. My guess is 25, I'm also betting that Donaldson will hit more bombas maybe more than Kepler depending on how many games he plays.
  13. Doctor Gast
    IMO just throw out 2020 and forget about it. Expect a great season from Kepler.

    Danny Santana was my mom's favorite Twin. Sorry to see him leave, the Twins could've used him as a true super utility.
  15. Doctor Gast
    I've always liked Celestino and have high hopes for him. I expect he'll be called up this year, I'm surprised that I haven't heard any criticism about his few games at high A and his high leg kick.
  16. Doctor Gast
    I'd rather see Arraez as Sano replacement at 1B. It's seems to me a position he might be more suited for and 1 more option to keep his bat in the line up.

    I 1st I 1st discovered magnesium when I had kidney stones. I researched my problem and found out that magnesium helped calcium to be absorbed in the bones and keeps it from building up in the tissues. Then is when I read that muscle cramps were caused by magnesium deficiency.

    The big difference between Dozier and Gordon is heart, Dozier had it but Gordon doesn't. Gordon has the pedigree but he'll never be a Dozier. When Dozier found his nook at 2B, he ran with it. Gordon had difficulty adjusting to every level. One day Gordon can be an average MLB player but he'll never be another Dozier. Excuse me but that's my personal observation.
  19. Doctor Gast
    I agree with you fat I agree with you fatbat. You can't doubt Wes Johnson, Twins a solid A. Also I'd rate CLE much higher, their coaching staff does wonders. Emmanuel Clase is very electric
  20. Doctor Gast
    Thanks rdehring, for that heads up on that strib article. I`ve been looking for an article like that about Broxton. I loved it, it gave encouragement that Broxton is on the right path. Here's the article if anyone would like to read https://www.startribune.com/for-your-confusion-twins-outfielders-keon-broxton-and-byron-keiron-buxton/600028332/

    With both Kiriloff and Larnach coming up(2 LH), that'd make Cave more expendable (platooning Rooker RH). But because of his glove,I'd prefer Broxton.
  22. Doctor Gast
    The one I'm banking on is Broxton. I believe Buxton and the coaches will help him figure it out and become a break out hitter. He's already shown he has a elite glove and speed
  23. Doctor Gast
    I believe that the management has learned from 2019 and prior of over using the relievers that were hot and burning them out. So happy they figured it out. I believe they know exactly what they are doing
  24. Doctor Gast
    Larnach is a special player, he's very close in talent to Kiriloff and deserves more credit. He's MLB ready, the good problem is that we have too many great corner OF s, 1B and DH MLB ready players. Like I said prior they'll make room for his talent.
  25. Doctor Gast
    All of his setbacks has been minor and over exaggerated until now. The worst part isn't the time missed, it's the time missed not learning under Simmons. He'll come back and be a great player. Missing 1yr. won't make or break him because he's a driven athlete. But what makes me sad is the missed opportunity of being mentored by Simmons.
