    The Hicks situation is utterly perplexing, I was just thinking that myself. I believe they owe him around 20MM. He has been actively horrible since his last good season, 2020. I could see giving him a mulligan on 2021 after coming off four good seasons in a row to see if he can get the magic back, but it would be peanuts to that team to eat the rest of his contract at this point and give his spot to somebody who might add some level of production. Not that I'm complaining. You do you, Yankees.

    It's a story as old as time - guy brakes into the majors on the strength of his ability to crush a fastball, fizzles out because he can't figure out a major league breaking ball.
  3. I wish the twins were good
    This whole endeavor is pointless while Buxton and Correa are blackholes. So I guess watch em sink like a rock until that changes. Not even May and I'm in "I'll check in again in a week" mode with this team again.

    I am in the Chicago area. I noticed them mention he was from Joliet on the broadcast...and they mentioned the hands thing. Could be the new market inefficiency in pitching. Massive-handed Chicago boys!
  5. I wish the twins were good
    And that's with abysmal offense outside of 3-4 games.
  6. I wish the twins were good
    This lineup isn't the only thing striking out at an incredible rate. 16 first round picks between 2010-2020 and they completely whiffed on all but Buxton, Berrios, and Gordon(?). Jury still out on a few others (Kirilloff, Lewis, Larnach). That's a big problem.
  7. I wish the twins were good
    We may just be watching a prospect in the process of not panning out. I think they can work around it. Doesn't need to be a disaster unless they try and force a non-performing player onto the roster (cough cough... Kepler). He's a 1st basemen with a promising bat. Always a half dozen guys out there that can play passable 1b and hit enough to be worth a spot. It's painful to miss out on another first rounder, and they can ill afford to keep doing that, but it's a sunk cost. If he was an up the middle player or someone they were banking on fronting a rotation, this would be harder to swallow.

    I hope you are right!

    2-1. Don't think they beat alcantara
  10. I wish the twins were good
    He'll be up sooner than later. My only real concern is they don't have Maeda and/or Mahle on a short enough leash if they're struggling. I've got reasonable confidence in the other three for now. If they were willing to stick it out with Pagan all year after that mess, I gotta think there's no way they don't let those two try and fight through it even if it looks obvious to everyone else they got nothing in the tank.
  11. I wish the twins were good
    They are truly embarrassing themselves with the pagan thing at this point. I'm at a complete loss. You'd think the Minnesota twins would jump at the chance to save a few million it defies explanation
  12. I wish the twins were good
    There is a quote in the recent athletic article about him saying he vents his frustrations to his wife. What do you think they're talking about? He grouses about his bosses at his job like everybody else does!
  13. I wish the twins were good
    But it does make a statement of confidence to the players which I'm sure is not nothing to them. Ober has a deserved chip on his shoulder now. Why create the unnecessary animosity with the players. Let the most deserving guys get the roster spots stop playing games
  14. I wish the twins were good
    Coloumbe was clearly deserving of pagan's spot after the spring they both had. Pagan continues to live rent free in the minds of falvine. Actually they are paying him 3.5 million for the privilege. And why not dobnak in long relief instead of sands?
  15. I wish the twins were good
    Misspoke - he was 16 when they signed him in 2016, but 19 by the time they traded him from Elizabethton. He was a bit young for his level then, but really nothing that jumps out at you from his time with the Twins. Looks like he put it all together with the Giants, and good on them for spotting him. Why they would give him up for a now injured and about to be 30 utility player that can't hit... Giants haven't had a great year transactionally.
  16. I wish the twins were good
    https://www.mlb.com/news/prelander-berroa-impresses-in-cactus-league-opener Anyone remember this guy? Twins gave him away in the Sam Dyson trade. He was only 19 in Elizabethton at the time, so still a ways away, but he'd look good in Ft. Myers right about now! Giants subsequently gave him away just recently for Donnie Walton, which is considerably less defensible...
  17. I wish the twins were good
    Larnach
  18. I wish the twins were good
    I think I remember Keith Law saying at one point that he somewhat arbitrarily set the cut off for "ace" as one of the top 15 pitchers in baseball. Not all teams have one, but if you assume the best teams have one (or more), that sounds about right. Gray isn't close to being in that group, but he could crack top 50 depending on what metric you're using. Fwiw, Fangraphs projects him at 64 by WAR this season, with Joe Ryan coming out the highest at 33, but I'd bet against them on that one if he stays reasonably healthy.
  19. I wish the twins were good
    If they had to lose megill or sands for a good lefty reliever I certainly wouldn't lose any sleep over it
  20. I wish the twins were good
    Urshela and Kepler were and are both expendable.
  21. I wish the twins were good
    Chafin or Matt Moore sound better to me but I doubt they'll be willing to pay for either of those at this point (2 yrs ~15MM) I would guess.

    HIPPA applies to medical professionals and other related entities. Employers - including sports teams - aren't covered under the law. Athletes consent to share their medicals with their employer/team when they sign their contracts, and the employer/team is free share that information with the media.
  23. I wish the twins were good
    Twins did really well (lucky) to get two prospects in Lee and Prielipp who had the talent to go higher - much higher in Prielipp's case - in the same draft. Has the potential to be an all-timer of a draft class if both realize their potential Possible all-star infielder and top rotation starter.
  24. I wish the twins were good
    This is giving me flashbacks of that pre-falvine revolving door of big hard throwing relievers that couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. Tyler Kinley comes to mind? I'm surprised any Twins fan at this point would be so confident
  25. I wish the twins were good
    I like this trade as well but,,,, AJ for Nathan and Liriano? Don't think that one will ever get topped again, unless there is blackmail involved. If you meant this FO only, then maybe, it's not a long list! If Madea comes in runner up for CYA again, I'll concede that one.
