    Pat Meares was a decent fielding, no hit shortstop with the Twins never coming up with another shortstop to take his place . They got their replacement when they traded Knoblauch

    The horse that is the payroll discussion has been beaten so much that the bones are dust in the wind

    Another couple weeks there will be countless articles on the top pick in the draft for 2025 The geniuses who put together 3 division championships in 7 years will be considered buffoons. The words total system failure will be exposed by too many people.

    The Mendoza line used to be Mendoza’s career average of .215. There really shouldn’t be a complaint about the Twins hitting the Mendoza line when there is an article touting more Twins should be hitting like Austin Martin, a player who hasn’t hit enough in the major leagues to know if he is competent. Almost put down the money to find out if that was the satire article.

    Santana was about a 1 war player the last 2 years. His contract reflected that. It is Gallo 2.0 turning into Nelson Cruz in Tampa Bay Risk/Reward. Risk is ahead at this point the market for starting pitchers you might can cherry pick a starter that was an equivalent to a Polanco contract. There might have been a trade to be had,, there might not have been. Other teams have to like your players more than you do. They reportedly liked Mahle better than Castillo. They really gave up more than the Reds got for Castillo. Castillo hasn’t been too good this year so the birds would be out on that trade had it happened. Yet another reason for caution with trading for older pitchers

    Sprint speed is useless if a player doesn’t get on base and the bottom half of the lineup is in a combined Ofer

    WhayCarlos Santana appears to have lost he can’t replace

    I was thinking Joey Gallo as it seemed to be a lotto type thing if he hit

    Pitcher Matt Cain, Tim Lincecum, Dontrelle Willis hitters Josh Hamilton, Travis Hefner BriaN Dozier. Generally it is a late bloomer for the hitters. Except for Sano

    Because of attendance.. the long history of baseball has shown if opening day is moved back one day to weather the crowd will come. If it is just made up as another day and the second game of the season is opening day the crowds are not as large

    What Brooks Lee will be is so up for debate. A less than stellar AAA part season is to blame. Some ranking systems have dropped him in ranking. Others have not. In 2016 a player got his fall cup of coffee, likely a September call up. Did not bat his jr high weight, Dropped in rank. 6 years later is signing a 300+ contract. Matt Olson was not even in some of the rankings and has had multiple All Star/VP consideration seasons They are the outliers. Generally with hitter when they start dropping in ranking they end up a complementary player MLB.Com has not dropped Lee’s ranking. They are generally the ranking quoted when discussing prospect ranking. Lee walks a fair amount, does not have a high strikeout rate, and could be a close to .300 hitter. He could be like that 1B they had a few years ago, or the one a few years before that. That would be a Joe and a Gene

    Yup, the player player chose to be injured. So putting you faith and family first is a bad thing. Got it.

    Rodon did not play for them. Rendon barely has played for them

    The what if game would be better with George Kirby
  18. old nurse
    Most of those HR will come early in the season. He will be the Rockies All Star. Then there will be the people here complaining the Twins let him go for nothing. Alas he will wear down as he actually has to play

    Clevinger had a 12 million option he declined. He likely wants more than that. Nobody is willing to pay that. the other perfectly good reason is given the Twins’ luck with past injured pitchers, is it worth the risk?

    2 pitchers coming back from surgery, one getting it is the modern version of a health staff.

    You did not read one of your boss’s infrequent posts? You did not really see my point, either. Please feel free to find a recent study of pitcher rankings and success

    Whether or not a pitcher is on a prospect list doesn’t mean unchanged anymore. Pablo Lopez and Bailey Ober were not any lists. Neither was Jax. Duran made 96 and Ryan was about that. Dylan Bundy was a top 20. Prospect. A lot of pitchers have been slower developers. That doesn’t mean SWR will develop or for that matter won’t develop.

    In a game that is continually short of pitching there are reasons why Lorenzen is unsigned The first guess would be contract demands. The second guess would be the 5 something ERA in Phili. A career half year should be the red flag.
  24. old nurse
    A trade for pitcher almost has to feel like they just became the drier for Spinal Tap when they come to the Twins.

    It is down to criticizing practice. I suppose it is a change from payroll complaining, but not any better
