    He might not turn the triple play (that was a damn find heads up play) but let's give him some credit, he certainly fields that ball. The guy isn't that bad with the glove.

    I think the difference is the giant package it would have taken to bring JT in here. It's Garver's numbers he has put up PLUS you still have the package of players.
  4. SwainZag
    You keep bringing up Verlander. We get it. He's doing great. Since joining Houston he found something, improved his velocity and became a better pitcher at ages 34-36 than he had been in years. He's the exception, not the rule. I'm sure you could find a post from me stating that having an above average hitting catcher like Realmuto is a luxury and someone you don't trade a bunch of assets for unless you are set over the rest of the diamond. I was happy they didn't shell out a big offer then and even more happy today after seeing Garver morph into what he is today.
  5. SwainZag
    Yeah there's a good chance he is in AAA (or traded), Castro is your backup and Lewis is playing in Miami's farm system and the Twins with what-we-know-now are in no better shape at the current moment.
  6. SwainZag
    Garver doesn't get the playing time if Realmuto is here.
  7. SwainZag
    Past results do not predict future events though. Just because they failed to make major moves and clean out the farm system in 2006 and lost in the 1st round with a completely front office, staff and players doesn't not mean a lick in 2019. I would rather the team not get blinded by actually being a good team to realize that if you build a good enough core it's not a one year shot. I really hope they don't blow all their ammunition overpaying and shorten the window.

    Cashner isn't even in the same league as Will Smith though when it comes to additions. It seems likes a pure and simple dump of the contract by a horrible O's team. He's also been hit hard both times he pitched for the Sox, would he even have been much of an upgrade for the Twins?
  9. SwainZag
    Since they are both Catchers this holds a lot of weight, right? Oh wait...
  10. SwainZag
    Yeah that's a good take. I wasn't insinuating anything by it, just thought it was interesting. He is really intriguing to me being left handed, having control and of course the swing and miss stuff.
  11. SwainZag
    I found this article from June 24th and the Marlins had no intentions of trading Smith, unless you meant Will Smith. His name was floated, but I think there is a good chance the Giants still thought they might be able to compete and held back and told teams to wait. I like the idea of just thinking it would have been easier in June, I just don't know how feasible it is to actually get it done, unless it's a vast blow me away overpay.

    SwainZag replied to jctwins's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk

    It's certainly something. I just think he is missing. He gave up the two 0-2 HR's on breaking pitches.....both which were in the zone. I want to think that he had zero intention of putting those pitches anywhere close to the zone, and wanted them at the ankle or in the dirt. His command just seems pretty off more often than not, which is unfortunate because his stuff looks pretty good.
  13. SwainZag
    In those starts he gave up 14 HR, which he hadn't really done all season as well.
  14. SwainZag
    You don't even know if anyone was available in June to be overpaid for.
  15. SwainZag
    All Gray's numbers actually look better last year except the ERA and a slight down tick in HR's given up. He is striking out less, walking batters at a higher rate and even has a higher line drive rate this year. Last year seems to just be an aberration. He has always pitched similar at Coors than away as well. I think I would def. take a look at what he would cost if I were the Twins.
  16. SwainZag
    I think it should be noted that Yates is 32 and will be 33 on Opening Day next year. Brad Hand was 4 years younger at the time of the trade last year, that has to be taken into account.
  17. SwainZag
    Stroman is and never has been the quality of pitcher that Archer was before the trade. That would be a drastic overpay IMO

    C'mon just roll one up and end this
  20. SwainZag
    Ended in a K, but rarely do we get to see Eddie work a 7 pitch AB.
  21. SwainZag
    The Thropedo?!
  22. SwainZag
    And we were all worried after that walk to Edwin......
  23. SwainZag
    No way May pitches after throwing 40+ yesterday
  24. SwainZag
    Ugh, that's why you can't fall behind 2-0! Forced to groove one. DJ sat back and took it for a ride
  25. SwainZag
    BUNTS against CC would be fun to watch....but I think I prefer these big swingin' #bombas a little better.... '
