    Maybe I am misguided, but lots of Twins arms do not pan out here and go on to have more success somewhere else. Even stopovers like Lynn. I thought for years it was poor scouting, but development in the minors and even pitching coaches at the big club seem to not improve anyone they bring in. Maybe time for some changes.

    If Gordon can play outfield, the Twins need a left Fielder. Larnach can play right and streaky Kepler goes on the block. Kiriloff plays first and he can rotate to the outfield for some days off. Larnach doesn’t have enough range to play right—this is a lefty league now so stronger fielder is needed in right. These young guys need to stay up, keep Arraez and thinK multi position players. This team is always hurt

    With the cobbled together lineups every day where even your utility players get hurt, it’s a tough slog. Have never seen a franchise get injured at a higher rate than this club. However, managing becomes more important than ever, it’s lazy to depend on home runs with this club. Now more than ever, it’s necessary to manufacture runs. Once runners are on base in early innings, the MGR has to call for hit and runs, sacrifice flies and slap singles to move and score runners. BUNT. Rocco is keeping his hands in his pockets too much. It will help for Arraez to return to spray the ball, but contact is necessary to score runs——so Miggy stays on the pine

    Sano is a write-off to cut. Why is everyone so patient he will revive to be productive for what, 1/3 of the season? A player that is a 1 tool guy who is only mature enough to be professional for part of the year is called a washout and a drain on the team from a leadership and morale standpoint when he plays. Show some leadership and expectations of professionalism, front office!! Kepler had a great 2019 because he quite trying to pull everything and used the opposite field. He cannot be successful with a power hitter approach. He must open up and take the singles and doubles to the opposite field he is now choked off from. He is a plus right fielder and far too streaky at the plate---but not nearly a full scale disappointment. Why are there no questions about the complete lack of a plan the Twins had for Left Field? Complete joke to walk into a season with one of two retreads to maybe pan out in left---when we have been hearing for years now how deep the farm system is with outfielders.

    @chpettit19 is on target---Eddie R was not an average bat. He is not an avg replacement. Alex K may end up being great, but we haven't seen a great prospect pan out in quite some time. The road to success is not paved with potential. I do hate to see in the article that "first base is currently taken". When in the world are the TC Ballers going to quit being haunted by the ghost of Big Papi and move on from the failed experiment that is M Sano? He is a liability at first and---lets be real here--does not put the ball in play enough to cater to his bat in the lineup. Please, let's take our past lumps an move on! Polanco and Kepler are streaky enough to alternate killing innings, we don't need a player who might as well take his glove with him when he comes to the plate with two outs!
