    Just like Billy Bean, that worked so well.

    At this point Arraez looks more like Lenny Green or Caesar Tovar, both shined bright and peaked around 30 years old after which they dropped quickly. Luis stealing ability of Green or especially Tovar , not much home run power but each hit double digits at least once in their career; Luis had more home runs this year, I imagine he will have year where he hits double digits but his Triple production fell way off. After this year, how good he is will determined, not before.

    Farmer can field well, he will start at third depending how the Short Stop situation works out, Miranda, at this point will be theh back-up. Has any one looked up what kind of speed Farmer has? You gents know where all the stats. are.
  4. RpR
    Farmer's range at 3rd far, far exceeds Miranda; .65 per 9 and .78 per G, why does any one think he was picked up for short stop when a Thrid Baseman is what is missing?
  5. RpR
    I think that may be because of where he is at; look at his number with the Twins before they dumped him and then look at his numbers with the new team, huge difference. He liked it here and he said while he thought he might be traded, he was still surprised when it happened; I also believe his being gone was one reason Sano tanked. I would love to see him back in the line-up, he could do Miranda a lot of good.

    Farmer is good at third, if we keep Correa that is probably his leaving Miranda and Arraez to claim first but then Arraez's fielding is better at 2nd than 1st so come spring training there will be strong competition for infield postition -- assuming the Front Office is not set in their ways already. I put Miranda's height and reach as a positive attribute at First Base.
  7. RpR
    Farmer has good numbers at 3rd base on Baseball Ref. why does anythink he will not replace Urshela? If Miranda's bat comes back he is the best DH on the team.
  8. RpR
    Urshela's oWAR for this year was 2.8, dWAR 0.7; Miranda was at oWAR 1.7, dWAR -1.2.

    LOL, Wallner will be in AAA, unless the Twins want to repeat this year; lets see, 6 walks and 25 strikes out plus Minus 35 runs saved in the outfield, just what the Twins need, go from Plus 12 runs to Minus 35 and difference of only 47 runs. yes sir just what the Twins need. I would not have Garlick any where but Left Field, now Renfoe may work there.
  10. RpR
    Two in right field vs 12 for Kepler, not an improvement. Renfoe range is well below average so you are gaining nothing. excpet maybe with him thinnking: Here comes the ball, here comes the ball, oh darn, there goes the ball , there goes the ball. Kepler has become one of new punching bags since Jake Cave is gone.

    1. No more than 5 years. 2. Not a bad idea. 3. Do it if they can, Lee. is a banjo hitter and not a great defender. 4. EGADS, no -- trading a good and great defenders for one bad, and two unknowns, sheesh, Wallner belongs in AA. 5. Twins need a first line catcher with Jeffers, at best , as a back-up.
  12. RpR
    I utsed to get spanked , verbally, by Larnach's Father in Law, so I have obviously not been a fan of Larnach. Now his fielding is sub-par but last season for a period he was a Doubles monster, I stay out of the pitching banter because , especially now that they do not hit, the only thing that ever got my attention for was were they a 20 game winner , or close to, and I can see the Twins need sone one/s they can feel confindent will not the game into a blow out SO, for once, I think the rookie Larnach should be at minimum be given a chance in Spring Training to see if his bat is a reality. You did not mention him, but some throw Wallner in as fielder and his bat looked like Badoo by the end of the year and Badoo, in Left Field is an above aver fielder but Wallner looked like a Key Stone Cop., so he is NOT, I hope, hope, hope, not going to be any where but AAA at most, If the Twins sacrifice fielding quality for a pitcher, who may or may not solve a problem, every one loses.
  13. RpR
    That is an idea, but too may outfielders are only competent where they have always been and too often not good in the other two.
  14. RpR
    Kepler is a well above average outfielder, more important than a bat.
  15. RpR
    At least you are honest about your loathing for Garlick.
  16. RpR
    If the Twins wasted 10 seconds even thinking about Renfroe they deserve to be a losing team.
  17. RpR
    Plan B: put Polanco back at short and Arraez at 2nd. An improved Second Base fielder and as few think defense is important, a good bat and lousy defense at Short Stop.
  18. RpR
    Miranda can play DH, too bad C.J. Cronn is not available.
  19. RpR
    Get him and his brother.
  20. RpR
    Molitor babied him , it was written in the Tribune, he felt bad that Sano had to stay in lessor motels, play in lessor ball parks, ride busses when he sent him down. THAT is what Sano needed more often.

    Very true but the four, Combined , played a toatal of 56 games first years in the majors before they showed they belonged there; Miranada and Larnach have played, combined , 215 games and have not shown the total ability they belong in the majors. MIranda's fielding AA level and Larnach's batting average is too close to the Mendoza line. The boys from this article have to prove they can avoid those detriments , when they do, they may be called up. Two of the rookies called up this year showed they should be in , at best , AAA, the Twins cannot afford to be the equivalent of a AAA training ground.
  22. RpR
    Reality is not what wishful thinking wants it be , most often.
  23. RpR
    They are not good enough to move up, yet, if ever. Brunansky was in major league by age 21; Hrbek by age 22; Gaetti and Gagne by age 23, they had the talent to start early, and did. If these Minor league rookies were talented enough for the Bigs, at this point , they would be there.
  24. RpR
    They abandoned starting relievers and finishing with starters to answer the threads question.
  25. RpR
    I do believe another poster stated up higher , remember thses are pretty much AA games and players, which is a long, long, long way from Big League challenge. IF any one has shown long term superior talent, he would spend a few weeks in Minor Leagues before give a shot at the Bigs, WITHOUT having to replace an injured player.
