  1. I'd look in to Moustakas to play 3B for a couple years. Sano/Kepler/Austin/Garver can take turns at 1B/DH. Sano can play 3B when they face LH pitcher that Mous has trouble with.
  2. Hildy is a borderline ML pitcher I don't get why he is being put in this situation. His overall numbers are not very good. Any decent bullpen he'd be a mop up guy, imo.
  3. 215-262 over the last three years and 71-82 this year is hardy average, imo.
  4. Fun fact: The Tampa Bay Rays now have a better record than the Central winning Indians... Another fact: The Twins need better players!!
  5. Trade for an ace easy, most teams that have one can't wait to trade them away....
  6. Now suddenly the day they are officially eliminated he finally shows some emotion?
  7. I really hope they can find somebody or body's that will improve this group. Guessing the trade option is the best route, not sure if the Marlins have anymore outfielders to give away. Cutch might be a FA option, he still hits ok likely better than Kepler, Cave and Grossman. He for sure is a better fielder than Grossman and probably Cave as well, plus a RH bat.
  8. Nobody watches a game to see the owner sit in his private box. The players are the game so I don't get people complaining about them getting paid. It's a very small percentage of players that do get PAID well. It's very difficult to be a major league player and even harder to be a very good one. The people that own teams don't need more money, to most it's a hobby. I hope I never complain about players getting paid.
  9. Probably time for a new younger manager. I'm not sure Mollie is a bad manager but I don't think he's a good one. His results have been bad and /or just barely mediocre. When your best is mediocre it's time for a change.
  10. Is it time to start one of these on who could be the next manager IF (that's a big if) Molly is fired?
  11. Grossman? Why?
  12. Great player once not now. Does a FO that is trying to build a strong playoff contending team really need a 36 yr old part time replacement level 1B/DH?
  13. @AaronGleeman Aug 31 Jorge Polanco has started 176 games at shortstop since the beginning of last season and @BaseballPro rates him as -14 runs. And that was before tonight.
  14. Move Polanco to 2B and sign or trade for a good defensive SS this winter.
  15. The front office lost me today. After nearly 2 years in charge the team has an old back up catcher playing 1B, Grossman with his .700 ops as cleanup hitter and dh and Fields for whatever reason being on the team at all. 2 years to turn this around and that's the kind of garbage we have to watch. Luckily today I took a nap and missed most of it. The TV guys are going no room for Buxton with Cave playing so well, could Cave play LF instead of Field? Guess not. Could Buxton play LF better than Field? Guess not. This is garbage piled on top of garbage. Somebody should get fired!
  16. If he comes up and hits .175 the extra year of control seems meaningless.
  17. Joe was a great player at one time but that that was many years ago. If this team is serious about building a strong post season team it won't waste a roster spot on a 36 year old part time replacement level player. Time to move on and get serious about building the future of this team.
  18. Carew left because of racist things Calvin said and money. It took Joe nearly 600 more at bats to get those hits compared to Carew. Carew had a .334 ave with the Twins (12 years) compared to Joe's .306 (15 years).
  19. Polanco is not a good fielding SS so move him to 2B and sign and good fielding SS.
