    A great win we needed and on kaat's day .... Another of my childhood hero's honored by the twins ... ( WHAT TOOK SO LONG ) ,,, KITTY KAAT has the most wins in twins history as a lefthanded pitcher ,,, it was a sad day when Calvin let him walk ... Kitty pitched Another 10 years after 15 years with the twins ,,, Calvin thought the arm was toast .... I wish some of you younger twins fans could have seen these earlier hero's ,,, THEY TOOK THE FIELD AND CAME TO PLAY

    I wouldn't sign susac in the first round that high ,,, I think I've seen the yankees are interested in him in first round ,,, just a mock inkling .... A first round pitcher with high ceiling ( ace , stud , bulldog ) would be nice to replace petty who we traded for sonny gray .... I'm not sure there are any of his caliber rated that high but twins may think differently
  3. Blyleven2011
    Yes , parada is who I have in mind If he drops to eighth in the first round ... susac would be the other choice but maybe not in first round for twins , maybe comp pick.....

    Sano is at AAA ,,, spend the remainder of the month there , Get him hitting and fielding better and trade him to a team that needs a dh before Aug 2nd for a bucket of balls or even a dollar would do it , that is his value .... We are clicking on offense that we don't need him mudding up the offense with strikeouts and no production .... If he goes somewhere else for a change of scenery and attitude adjustment and produces , well good for him ,,, we just don't need another major leaguer named rob deer ,,,

    It was a busy and crazy deadline in 2018 .. .did get some prospects back that are performing at the mlb level ... If the twins FO are smart , they should be thinking smelters value is not going to be any higher as a starter and trade him at the deadline if we acquire Snell or another starter ... Smeltzer has had no success as a relief pitcher as a twin ...

    Pass on Horton .... He's in it for the money , not for love of the game .... Quite obvious with his demands ... and he wasn't considered a first rounder until he dominated the college world series ,,,, Even a blind squirrel can find a acorn once in a while .. To much risk here on him . Still I like a need of catcher for the 8th selection
  7. Blyleven2011
    Can never have to much starting pitching , but yes the bullpen is the most obvious concern ,,, we need quality arms for bullpen ,,, NO EXCEPTIONS ... Have guts , be bold go for quality FO ....
  8. Blyleven2011
    I'd take Snell over the Dodgers Price and having Snell back in the American league might be a refreshing change of scenery for him ... His contract is reasonable through 2023 ....
  9. Blyleven2011
    Has the FO ever led us astray in there comments .... YES ..... quality pitching signings at the deadline have been really sparse for a team that is a contender .... Yes it will take prospects to acquire quality pitching ,,, get the 40 man roster trimmed so we don't lose the prospects in the rule 5 draft like we have seen the front office do multiple times , they either release some at the end of the season or expose them to the rule 5 draft for nothing ... The FO got us into this mess with a terrible bullpen , NOW GET US OUT OF IT ... WITH QUALITY PLEASE...
  10. Blyleven2011
    Major leaguer ( arrreaz ) is so fun to watch at hitting and at first base .... Great team-mate who will play anywhere if you ask him because he loves this game ... Yes he deserves an extended contract , sign the major leaguer
  11. Blyleven2011
    If he is available , pay the man ... Catcher and hitter is a position of need ... Best prospect I like so far but don't think he will be available to us as other teams have interest but if he surprisingly drops in our lap ,,, sign the man
  12. Blyleven2011
    Duffey knows this is his last season with the twins and his buddies ... Duffey has no confidence in himself and you can see it plainly when he is on the mound ..... He is a mop up pitcher at this stage of his career ....

    Sano Situation

    Blyleven2011 commented on Doc Munson's blog entry in Fantasy GM

    For once I'm speechless ,,, According to Rocco sano has to be hitting on all cylinders before being reactivated , and Rocco says how ever long it takes for that to happen ,,, His words not mine
  14. Blyleven2011
    We need help in pitching there is no denying it and our FO has not done very good in the trades they have made since they have taken over ... do I expect them to go out and get the best relievers out there so we can hopefully cruise to the playoffs and win one , NO .... CORREA was a free agent signing and lightning only strike once in the same place .... so they add a hitter with great defense and avoid signing any quality bullpen help , but trade away a relief pitcher at the start of the season and really that trade hasn't panned out for us but definitely helped San Diego ... There is help to be traded for but the cost is going to to be high to contend ... Will they spend on quality that is the question ???? .... NO MORE DISAPPOINTMENTS , PLEASE
  15. Blyleven2011
    As stated the recognition goes to the more high profile teams from the strong east and west coast teams that get more attention ... Yes the Midwest teams almost always get snubbed .... Arraez definitely is one player the fans would love to watch in Los Angeles .... Buxton is healthy enough but his defense alone is not enough to be a starter , but fans I'm sure would like to see him play on the allstar stage ... IF NEITHER GET SELECTED AS RESERVES IT IS DEFINITELY A SNUB ....
  16. Blyleven2011
    Try for quality relief pitching for quality prospect that are blocked because of depth .... Keep steer for now ...
  17. Blyleven2011
    Re reading the title that the twins have breathing room at the top of Central ..... I think it needs to be 10 games ahead in the standings before we have adequate breathing room ...
  18. Blyleven2011
    The twins are exciting when the pitching is good ,,, seems lately some starters are struggling and we all know about the bullpen .... Let's hope the FO can fix what they didn't fix before the season ... Go twins
  19. Blyleven2011
    3 losses in a row , all pitching disasters ,,, has pitching turned bad with the departure of Wes this quickly
  20. Blyleven2011
    Last year Hamilton walked to many ,,, I haven't followed him at all this year but walks have been his downfall in the past
  21. Blyleven2011
    Until Rocco stops telling FO that he can fix it ,,,, it will continue
  22. Blyleven2011
    The FO got us into this bullpen mess ,,, NOW GET US OUT OF IT ....
  23. Blyleven2011
    major leaguer ( arraez) and Buxton once again at the top of the order spark our offense start to finish .... Couple of Allstars..... Bundy pitches on guts again .... bullpen does okay but was definitely nervous ....
  24. Blyleven2011
    If I was to listen to Rocco's post game recap ( which i never do or his pregame either ) ... Rocco might say we played hard and we never gave up ... My assessment is the twins took the field but didn't come to play ... A team we should beat and we only win 1 game in the series
  25. Blyleven2011
    How to have a success in winning games .... Bundy pitches 8 solid innings with 3 extra days rest , 4 hits , no walks and only 1 run ... cotton pitches a clean inning ... Hitting was contagious with 14 hits , 3 doubles sprinkled in 2 homers , 9 singles a 5 walks ... 11 runs ,,, a recipe for success and they scored 7 runners out 12 in scoring position ...
