    One platoon partner for Austin, who would probably come cheap is Justin Boar. He has a career ops of .853 against RH pitching while Austin had an ops of .846 against LH pitching this year.
  2. Winston Smith
    Lets get some better players and not field the same team as last year...

    The only reason Kepler plays now is his OF defense his bat doesn't by itself and certainly doesn't play at 1B. No to Myers just another mediocre player we have plenty of them. Anyone thinking about Myers look at his contract coming up.

    If you move Kepler to 1B his bat doesn't play. The only reason it plays at all in RF is plus defense. Sano sub par defense would play better at 1B than at 3B, imo. This team scores enough runs and should be better with anything next year from Buxton and Sano. Imo help the defense all you can, improving 3B, SS & CF would help the pitching a lot. Keep Grossman off the field, this team doesn't move forward with 1 tool players. If you need a DH other than Sano or Austin (both HR or K guys w/no D) find one that can hit and also play some decent defense.

    I was thinking more of trading some of it to the teams trying to sign them.
  6. Winston Smith
    This is off topic but does anyone here know how much Int. Pool money the Twins have?
  7. Winston Smith
    Sign Cutch he's still a decent player, let Cave, Buxton and Kepler fight it out in the spring 2 make the team one goes to AAA as ins.
  8. Winston Smith
    The team can get out of most of the contract during the spring by cutting the player, happens a lot. Players on arbitration contracts who are cut on or before the 16th day of Spring Training are owed 30 days' termination pay (based on the prorated version of his agreed-upon arbitration salary). A player cut between the 16th day and the end of Spring Training is owed 45 days' termination pay (based on the prorated version of his agreed-upon arbitration salary). The arbitration salary becomes guaranteed if the player is on the 25-man roster when the season begins.

    The Sano rollercoaster ride continues, stay tuned...
  10. Winston Smith
    Just a guess but most innocent people don't offer to pay medical bills.
  11. Winston Smith
    I'll say again if Moose doesn't have his option picked up sign him to play 3B. At this point Sano can't be trusted to be on the field or produce if he does get on the field. He can be a DH if he does show up to play.
  12. Winston Smith
    I read this somewhere not sure where but the Twins are one of four teams that have never had a non-white manager. Maybe it's about time?
  13. Winston Smith
    Eduardo Perez, Chili Davis, Lauren Shehadi.
  14. Winston Smith
    I think you need to include Kepler in "those showing no signs of progress".
  15. Winston Smith
    Nooooooooooooooo!
  16. Winston Smith
    Chili Davis has moved to the top of my list.
  17. Winston Smith
    Trying hard to think of something Paul did that I thought there you go he has it. It seemed like this lineup makeup often left me sratching my head. He overworked the bullpen and it showed. He really lost me this year when he finally showed some emotion on the day they were eliminated. If last year was his best 85 wins is not a great year by most standards. When you play in the Central with some really bad teams this team has to be better. Now will the next guy be better? Only if they get some better players because this group is mediocre at best and that, at least, wasn't Paul's fault.
  18. Winston Smith
    I vote for Buck once he is fired.
  19. Winston Smith
    They have infielders but they need good ones not the junk they have unless you want another losing record.
  20. Winston Smith
    Seems like most people just want to keep the band together and hope for the best.
  21. Winston Smith
    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.
  22. Winston Smith
    Not much doubt now is there?
  23. Winston Smith
    They need a shortstop not a second baseman. Polanco is a bad shortstop move him to 2B where he belongs and sign or trade for a shortstop!
  24. Winston Smith
    The way they've played this series they really want the number 3 pick and not taking any chances on winning a game and picking 4th.
  25. Winston Smith
    2019 hope is they get to play a lot of games against some really really bad teams in Royals, Tigers and Sox.
