    Part of the reason that my mid-season list is noted as preliminary is that I look at existing full season league players in June. I adjust the top 30-40 later as well as draftees and IFA come. Miranda had a pretty bad first half (OPS <.700) and that's the reason here. He did heat up lately, but did not make it to the top 40 more me to have a look. During the off-season I will look into it more. Definitely the slow start is an issue here.
  2. Thrylos
    No. He will get an extra day of rest like Lynn, and Odorizzi, unless traded. Unless there is a trade Mejia will be optioned, and only Berrios will start with normal rest
  3. Thrylos
    That was Gisbon's turn. Mejia can be gone and give everyone but Berrios an extra day.
  4. Thrylos
    I would prefer the Twins to win each and every game. Dozier is dragging them down.
  5. Thrylos
    Really impressive tonight: GIDP, K, K, IFF
  6. Thrylos
    Agreed. Fact: He lost 20 lbs in a month at Fort Myers working his ass off. Haters will hate.
  7. Thrylos
    Forgotten that in the last game he did not drive runners when it mattered twice. But everyone remembers the grand slam. That would had been unnecessary (along with the extras) had he driven runners in before...
  8. Thrylos
    Cheap Shot indeed. Intended towards the Twins' AAA team and their marketing practices, and not Sano.
  9. Thrylos
    I think that you are mixing facts with opinions, hopes, and wishes
  10. Thrylos
    It will matter if they do not get anything for Dozier, Escobar, Lynn, Santana, Rodney, Duke, et al. At this point even if they make the post-season, there is no way they get past two of the Yankees, Red Sox, and Astros. Enough with the one and outs and the almost good enoughs. Had enough of those the previous decade. About time to start thinking about having a really competitive team in 2019, get 4-5 new players and play players who are about to depart as MiLB like Vargas and Stewart to see if they can be counted as part of the future. Would suck to give up on a fourth overall pick and go some place else and flourish, while wasting MLB innings for the likes of Matt Belisle.
  11. Thrylos
    Are you sure that it was luck and not karma? Remember his whining about not being extended during the off-season?
  12. Thrylos
    I will be surprised if he is not with the Twins as soon as the first of Dozier or Escobar get dealt. 10 days max. Last thing you want is Sano around Rochester Garbage Plates.
  13. Thrylos
    Or he had nothing to do with the decision...
  14. Thrylos
    Facts never bothered Russo: Facts: Among the 21 qualified second basemen in the majors and , Dozier ranks: 12th in fWAR, 13th in wOBA, 12th in wRC+, 13th in OPS, 16th in Contact%, 17th in infield fly ball percentage, 15th in WPA, and 21st (dead last) in fangraphs Clutch Fact: Dozier is a below average second baseman in the majors, this season. What he did previous seasons, makes people hope that he will have an above average second half, despite the facts. I hope that someone is willing to give the Twins something in return, but even De Leon would have been better than what the Twins will get if they keep him until the end of the season..
  15. Thrylos
    Which makes Radcliff's comments in JoeC's report at least inaccurate
  16. Thrylos
    Simple: When the Twins have a good season, game threads turn to be more fun, when they don't, whining is the norm. Nothing y'all can do. It is up to the Twins.
  17. Thrylos
    Unless Buxton can hit better than Cave or Kepler, he does not belong to the Twins' every day lineup, so he is better served playing every day in the minors, instead of platooning against lefties in the majors.
  18. Thrylos
    Spending $35 million on Escobar and Dozier, while you can have them for about half to a third of that next season and at least one of them will not fit in 2019, will be a "bargain"? Please explain.
  19. Thrylos
    Knowing the Phillies top 3 levels pretty well, I think that if the Twins get Franklyn Kilome and lefty Tyler Gilbert for Escobar, they will be set in the pen for a while. Kilome is miscast as a starter. Put him in the pen and you will get a dominant closer with consistent triple digit velocity. He threw 102 as a starter at Reading last month. Mark my words: the next best closer out there
  20. Thrylos
    AAA depth. They are running out of OFs out there. Nothing really to see
  21. Thrylos
    I just have a hard time getting the logic that any return for Escobar (or Dozier, or Lynn, or Morrison, or Rodney or Duke, etc) at this point is not better than nothing in return at all. 2018 is gone. Nothing prohibits the Twins of signing Escobar as a free agent for 2019 (and beyond.)
  22. Thrylos
    The MLB network in their Twins' ST special in the 40 clubs in 40 days devoted a segment on the subject and Dozier was their guide discussing the dietary changes that the new FO brought on. I suspect that it might be canned either at MLB.com or at youtube. Really good stuff.
  23. Thrylos
    In a back field. They play at the field used by the AAA team during ST. This season is a brand new field with brand new technology that was Bill Smith's last accomplishment with the Twins and was named after him. It is right next door to the academy building where most of the GCL players live.
  24. Thrylos
    I think that John Hicks should be included in the confersation, even Steve Pearce, since the other Hicks was brought up. Totally agree that the Twins should see what they have in the minors, esp. as impeding free agents like Kennys Vargas and Kohl Stewart (to name just a couple more names) go. They can DFA Morrison and Belisle now and replace them with these 2 guys and nobody will blink.
  25. Thrylos
    This reminds me of something in the past but could not quite figure out what
