  1. Sox played the top 2 teams of both central divisions right off the bat, so the rest of the season will be much easier. They`ll do better. Surprises so far are, DET is starting better & Reds worse.
  2. W/ this Twins team Arrais needs to keep on doing what he has been doing so well & that is getting on base. If he he tries to change his swing to get more power & gets on base less, it`s counter productive. What he needs to improve this season is his defense if he can do that it`ll be a success
  3. Kepler the best lead off hitter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  4. Because of a shortened season I see many players will go all out to attain that elusive notoriety of being a .400 hitter, hopefully Arrais has a shot. Although I hope the rotation will really produce as a whole, I wouldn`t bet on it. I`m most sure of Berrios & if Odorizzi & Hill recover quickly & stay healthy & Baldelli uses his BP efficiently, we`ll advance well into the PS. To win the ALC we need a bonafide ace but because of the early trade deadline (comparatively) & extended PS team will not be willing to trade away one
  5. Like everyone I was surprised about Whitefield. I was also surprised w/ them playing Kepler in CF in last nite`s exhibition game. Hoping they wouldn`t play him at all there this year & they go out & do it the last preseason game. IMO Wade should`ve had the experience before the season if Buxton isn`t out htere
  6. I`d put Donaldson on top because of his bat & glove together w/ intangible his leadership. I`d also like Kepler & Garver on the list so I`d have to drop Cruz & maybe Berrios (due only because he`s in 1/5 of the games). I`d rate Buxton towards the top because he has the capability of really impact a game if he proves healthy
  7. I think he`s made to lead off & thrives on that challenge. Maybe he should be given the chance to lead until it becomes apparent that he shouldn`t or maybe he needs to grow into it. To me sooner or later he`ll be lead off but Baldelli knows better than I do
  8. Beauty of his deception is he gets a lot ground balls, if they can figure him out in the AL where he can no longer be effective there should teams in the NL that`d love him (like CO)
  9. I`m still scared of CLE, I wouldn`t under estimate them. Their pitching could neutralize our hitting, it boils down to our superior OF defense beats their superior INF defense. In the beginning of last year they had some key injuries & we were red hot which created too big of a hole they couldn`t overcome
  10. Very impressive Very impressive, the future looks bright. That`s my dream, to have an ace factory like CLE. Was disappointed this spring but there`s still hope
  11. I think we have plenty of BP arms, our focus should be to groom him to start. I didn`t like how they took potential starters & threw them into the BP but thats not to say later in the season to give him some MLB exposure. I think that`s what you meant
  12. It`d be nice if they could open up Ft. Myers for all our prospects that aren`t on the 60 man that need that development during this time. They could have inter squad games & even scrimmages w/ other teams that are open to play
  13. They know what they are doing. I see Dobnak & Smeltzer making the roster but the others should see a lot of time. You can never have too much pitching, you never know when you get an injury, get covid or fall apart & with this rotation we need a lot of substitutions
  14. I think they put a lot of stock into pitching at least 7 quality innings on a constant basis & racking up a lot of quality innings, basically how they rate on a scale of being an ace. Only Berrios comes close to be an ace or Hill when he gets stretched out. So looking that way our rotation doesn`t rank that high. But what really makes the difference from 2019 to 2020 is the pitching support & BP w/ that angle I think the Twins rotation should have made honorable mention
  15. Thank you Mick for putting salt on the wound! LOL! But being serious I hope that our new FO will have a better track record than the past. I think you forgot Odorizzi/ Palacios trade I believe we won. Also it seems to me that Andy Macphail was pretty good
