  1. I remember them saying he's going to focus on 1B, but I don't remember anything about him being a 1B only.
  2. They picked up Santana, a First Baseman, end of story.
  3. Kiriloff is not a good fielder, he has poor range. Kepler is going nowhere.
  4. That they picked-up Santana shows they see problems at First Base with Kirilloff.
  5. Do not destroy all the Fantasy Baseball that has been floating around this site lately.🤣
  6. Correa has been up and down his whole career, varying from average to among the best. This was not the first time he was average.
  7. I was surprised the Twins let him go; good bat with competent defense.
  8. Does not matter, Sanchez was primary, and from defense results, that was a good thing.
  9. Sanchez was the primary catcher in 2022; from his stats it was his first year of improved defense over past years.
  10. The Bremer Curse; it seemed as soon as Bremer bragged a player for any thing, that thing went South.
  11. It is an opinion post, nothing more. No one knows what the Team will spend, who will be here and who will no longer be here. Not worth getting hemorrhoids over.

    Santana is better with the bat and glove than Kirilloff, so that is probably false.
  13. No one said one could not, and Ryan did in a big way. This year can/could be bigger for him than most Twins pitchers.
  14. Young is what ever one wants it to be.
  15. Could have, would have, should have -- but he did fall apart.
  16. They should go to the Field of Dreams.
  17. Billy Martin was an ornery SOB, no manager could have fist fight with a player nowadays and not have the league get apoplectic. ONLY a manager similar to Martin could take a team of nasty mongrels (generic team) and still be a top team.
  18. Like Gallo, Santana is a better First Baseman than any of the rookies he would play instead of. That will also influence when he plays. For Kirilloff this season could be what determines his baseball future.
  19. "The Twins freed up just enough payroll space to sign Carlos Santana to a 1 year 5.25 million deal. This is a solid depth move in that he is a good defensive 1B and he is a solid if unspectacular hitter. He is a prototypical Twins hitter in the mold of a 20 HR hitter with 80 RBI potential and the Twins like to fill their lineup with these types of hitters because of their lower cost but with a full line up of hitters like this the lineup becomes stacked and that's how they remain a top 5 in the league offense year after year. He also hits LHP well and is a switch hitter and can fill in as a DH as well. lots of subtlety improvements and benefits with this signing. (I still prefer JD Martinez) but Santana is an upgrade and if Miranda tears the cover off the ball and forces his way into Santana's role, we can trade Santana easily enough as well. " Santana plays First Base, not Third Base where Miranda plays, poorly. Santana will probably be the starting First Baseman as he is better at it than Kirilloff; Miranda is not even in the calculation. Spring Training may determine who plays First most.
