    Playoffs start in less than 2 weeks, so I just don’t see it. Don’t get me wrong….I would love to see Buxton patrolling CF and striking fear into opposing pitchers again…that would be awesome. But we’re Twins fans, and we haven’t had awesome since ‘91.

    A playoff bullpen with at least 2 of Varland, Maeda, and Ober is better than a regular season bullpen of at least 2 of Sands, Winder, and Balazovic. Can we just skip to the end and start the playoffs next week?
  3. Brett
    The Twins do certainly seem to have a lot of young talent on the major league roster and across the river. If most of them can stay healthy over the next few years, then I agree with your premise.
  4. Brett
    Is it possible the front office made the CF or bust proclamation so there’s no way he comes back to DH? Either you play the field or you stay in rehab. No more middle ground.
  5. Brett
    I don’t know if you’re playing Captain Obvious or just messing with me…but for the love of all that’s holy YES I want to see Buxton back in CF before I die.

    It seems like the players the Twins invest heavily in never provide the return that the fans expect. And injuries seem to plague most of the young players that generate the most hype. I don’t need to name names, because you’ve already done so in your head. What bothers me is the Twins have to manage these players through these situations with days off and convenient stretches on the injury list. Where are the guys you can plug into the lineup 150 games a year?

    I think “we get that; we’re Twins fans” is the best line I’ve seen all year. 6 words have never said so much.
  8. Brett
    Maybe the pitchers could meet.
  9. Brett
    I don’t suppose Festa, Balazovic, and Headrick all had subpar outings so they wouldn’t be attractive trade targets…? Nah, I’m sure human nature never figures into these situations.
  10. Brett
    Did not see this coming AT ALL. I wonder what other trade candidates the front office has in mind that we have no idea about.
  11. Brett
    Lane Thomas would be fun, but what’s the price? Might it be something on the level of Wallner and SWR? What are their needs?
  12. Brett
    I like the parallels. Lovable loser home team gets hot, wins division, and beats the Yankees in the playoffs. And Duran throws even harder than Wild Thing.
  13. Brett
    Is it better to acquire one of these guys and hope they hit something close to their career norms, or to hold serve with Correa and Buxton and hope they start hitting like theirs? Does the front office play this probability game every day? This kind of pressure must be immense.
  14. Brett
    One ex-player with no managerial experience that underperformed followed by another ex-player with no managerial experience? Intriguing, but doubtful.
  15. Brett
    I like the logic, but I don’t see the front office pushing their chips in for this type of move. On the whole, we seem to be better at developing prospects than pulling off trades.
  16. Brett
    It seems like utility players and relievers will have quite a bit of variation year to year. I’m sure many of us thought that Nick Gordon would be a key piece after last year. Maybe next year is Michael Helman’s time to shine. When Gordon comes back, do you part with Farmer instead? Or Solano? Or everyone’s least favorite .780 OPS, Gallo? Tough call.
  17. Brett
    Don’t tease me bro.

    As long as we’re floating retired players, I wonder what Joe Mauer is up to these days.
  19. Brett
    Let’s just put a Mr. Yuk sticker on the first half to warn people away from the “highlights”. Being a true MN sports fan, I will start fantasizing about next year while suffering through the rest of this year.
  20. Brett
    Our offense seems like it’s more than one bat away from goodness. Maybe that’s ok since a lot of playoff baseball is tighter and low-scoring. I’m good with a position player, but let’s make sure they can defend somewhere on the field.
  21. Brett
    Good Lord, I need to go see a Saints game before those guys get called up!
  22. Brett
    St. Paul does indeed strike out a lot as a team. However, they are 4th overall with an .829 OPS, so their results appear to be better.
  23. Brett
    Uh, who’s the hitting coach in St. Paul? Seems like a good place to start.
  24. Brett
    4 of the 5 trades were in the last 15 months, which makes it tough to compete now. It would be great to revisit this topic in another year or two to see if we all feel differently.
  25. Brett
    Assuming we don’t run away with the division, would you want him in the bullpen in September when *every* game is important? His results remind me of Ron Davis, so you can guess my vote.
