    I don't see Lee making the opening day roster as things shape up so far. There just isn't a position for him to play at this time. I could see next season Jenkins with a chance though.

    '91 was a great team and fun to watch, the WS was great, and game 7 was the best I've ever seen. BUT, I still think the '65 team was better.
  3. Karbo
    I'm still hoping they get a RH hitting OF'er that can play CF as Buxton's backup in the next week. I also think they'll look to add (probably a starter) at or near the trade deadline. By then they should know what they really need.

    I get what you're saying, but I don't know that an athlete like Buxton can throttle back. All his life he has probably gone all in, 100%. Kind of like trying to teach an old dog new tricks!

    sounds like he swings like Eddie Rosario, at anything close. He's young enough to figure it out if he's coachable. Just read the Athletic has our minor league talent rated in the bottom 1/2 (barely) in the league. That surprised me a bit after reading about the kids here.

    I think Gordons time in Mn is about to come to a close. Miranda will get some time in AAA to turn things around. Alcala looks like the one with the best shot, if he can stay healthy.

    I would be all in on a trade for Keller. If they would take some of our position prospects. I think they look at Lee and Jenkins as pretty much untouchable, but a package of any of the others may work out.

    Due to the injuries, its hard to know which way he goes. Was last year one of those "career" years or was he just starting an amazing career? IMO he has all the tools to be a perennial all star!
  9. Karbo
    So you think Desclafini is an improvement over last years staff?
  10. Karbo
    Taking a prep player in the draft is always a risk, especially in early rounds. This guy looks like a risk worth taking, and I will be interested to see his progress this season!
  11. Karbo
    I agree that they should still be favored to win the division, but do you really see anywhere they upgraded from last fall?
  12. Karbo
    So far this feels like an empty off season to me. I don't think they have improved over last year much if any. I'm kind of disappointed they filled some spots with older players, possibly even on a downward trend. I wanted to see another quality starter added, and they got Desclafini instead. I was hoping they would take a long look at a few kids from the minors, but instead filled the roster with journeymen type players that just don't move the needle that much for me. I have been a Twins fan since they 1st moved here, no matter where my company sent me around the country, and they will continue to be "my team" as long as I live, so I will be pulling for all these guys. I truly hope I look back on this in October and say " boy was I a dope".

    I hope he makes a tough decision for the Twins. A full season like he had the 2nd half of last year will make him an extend candidate. What are the odds?
  14. Karbo
    Unfortunately, so many of the readers on this site just aren't old enough to remember that team. That was almost 60 years ago. It was my 1st ever WS to go to. (It was so cool to get out of school early). I feel if the 65 team was more recent people would value it higher. IMHO it was the best Twins team ever!

    I believe to go far in post season you need either a dominate starting rotation or a good rotation and dominate bullpen. At this point as the article says we have Lopez. I do believe Paddack will be better than avg. but questions about his health must be answered. Ryan needs to work on his secondary pitches, Ober has health questions, and so does Desclafini. Varland will almost certainly be needed at some point and after him would be a mystery. They also need bullpen help IMO. So looking at it on paper, can this team try to outslug and outscore other playoff teams? Of course this all assumes they even make the playoffs which is a fair assumption in this division.
  16. Karbo
    DeSclafini has the potential to be a pretty good 5 hole starter. That said, they are basically entering the season with1 proven starter and 4 potentially good starters. The question for me is how many of these 4 potentials pan out? I have high hopes for Paddack, but worry more about the injury bug with Ober and Deslafini.
  17. Karbo
    I'd pass on him. Keep adding questionable type players and it blocks the way for the kids to come up and prove whether or not they can succeed at the major league level.
  18. Karbo
    Happy birthday to him. I hope he works his way up the ladder to the majors!
  19. Karbo
    Yawn
  20. Karbo
    He may look like a sure thing, but to rank him this high, with NO pro experience, seems like a dream to me. I just hope he doesn't read this article. An awful lot of pressure on him if he does.

    If I had to put together a Pitching rotation for the playoffs I would be looking for guys in the low HR, high ground ball type, with a decent K%. Obviously, there's not a lot of those out there. Twins hitters need to work on their 2 strike approach. That not saying they always use it with 2 strikes, but there are times (think runner on 3rd or even 2nd with less than 2 outs. I got so frustrated last year to see a guy on 3rd with nobody out, infield back, and the next 2 guys K. There the guy stands on 3rd and they missed a chance to score a run.
  22. Karbo
    If Martin shows well in ST I would keep him over Gordon. With his speed, and versatility, plus as RH hitter I think he will fit in better than Gordon. I also think is a total make or break year for AK. He's got to stay healthy and show achieve the talent level he showed so much promise for in the minors!
  23. Karbo
    Polo was a really good player and a great person. The Twins sure got their Moneys worth and then some. I wish him the best of luck!
  24. Karbo
    Seems like a pretty high rating for a guy that doesn't have 100 ABs even at the lowest levels. Grading on potential he rates highly, but how often does potential get it done? If he does prove out, he could rate even higher.
  25. Karbo
    I sure wouldn't go 3yrs 45 mil. He's a butcher in the field, and regressing by the eye test. There are other options available. I would much rather hold onto the $$ and hopefully go after a good starter at the trade deadline, when it will be clear what we need.
