    So is Jeffers, Larnach, Celestino, Wallner, etc., etc., etc.

    Oh come on , you are acting as if Baseball is as dangerous to the human body as Football; paranoia strikes deep, into your life it will creep....

    Miranda

    I see little difference between Rooker and Wallner; Wallner has a strong arm, but his fielding is a cross between Keystone Cop and a bull in a China shop. After spring training, how much AAA he still needs will be known.

    Throwing the bones hoping against hope there are first class rookies will mean losing season after losing season and that cannot be afforded by the Pohlads as people already are not coming in droves and will not return to watch a gaggle of AAA wannabes show they should still be in AAA. 2019 they brought in good veterans and WON, they are all gone now and as well as Miranda did this year there the Majors is not where rookies are taught how to field; he would be a good DH but they need a 1st baseman who can field as well as he hits. The Twins best winning years were a team, players coming back, year after year, that brings in fans to see a "Team" not a here today gone tomorrow group of unknowns; losing Arraez, would mean some nobody newbie would take his place and that tells fans to stay home.

    Next spring training will expose the first season flukes from the, at minimum, average talent. Been awhile since the twins have had a crop of better then average rookies, only time will tell.
  7. RpR
    Arraez is a good Second Baseman, he is as good there as Gordon is not good; move him and there is a big hole in the infield when Polanco does not play.
  8. RpR
    Baseball Ref. has the information also.
  9. RpR
    None very well.
  10. RpR
    IF, again IF he makes the concerted effort to improve his play the way Judge has, he could be a vey big name in the future.
  11. RpR
    He said he wants the Front Office to come talk to him, nothing more.
  12. RpR
    Gio has been proven to be a very good Third Baseman if they do not sign him they gain another hole their fielding which id Correa leaves means the Twins will return to the lousy fielding days of a few years ago. Miranda is not a good fielder but he seems to be adapting to First Base so play him there and DH. All the upcoming/returning rookies, are the usually Wishful Thinking so many here think overrules reality. Contreras and Palacios came up and showed what reality looks like compared to Wishful Thinking.
  13. RpR
    That is creating an excuse for ineptitude via rationalization. There is no ecuse for his poor play, period.
  14. RpR
    Won't happen; Wallner maybe in two or three years, Celestino is not improving and is not that good except as a back-up, Larnach has not proven he is major league level yet. Twins rookie defense is still a gamble at best and big hole at worst.
  15. RpR
    He made two putz moves while fielding balls that cost runs.
  16. RpR
    The return of of Go Go Gomez; I think it might be best either send him to AAA , next year or trade him; he has been around long enough there is no excuse for his bone-head errors, which are too common.
  17. RpR
    Gordon's move was the final nail in the coffin but Wallner made two bone headed fielding moves that hurt just as much. Wallner has to go to AAA next year to learn how to field; if he can do that, he has a bright future but not before.
  18. RpR
    Oakland A's defeated the Twins in a inning without a hit, Twins fielding errors scored the runs, SO, you are wrong.
  19. RpR
    It is simple reality; defense prevents runs, you do not stop the opposing teams runs withpoor fielding, your bat is not going to save the day.
  20. RpR
    He will be back starting in left field next year, after that, does not matter.
  21. RpR
    He was just fine from 2017-2019, last year not so good. Where did you dream up your second statement? His numbers in Left for fielding are far, far, far better than Larnach or Gordon.
  22. RpR
    Wallner on the field is a bull in a china shop Two games in a row he nearly plowed into the another fielder and twice in one game. I can still the the, -what the hell are you doing-, look Miranda gave him after the second one.
  23. RpR
    Yep, in 1953 Ted Williams was the luckiest ball player in the World,?
  24. RpR
    Sturgeon does and then does not play, I wonder why. Jeffers is not exactly tearing the cover off of the ball.
  25. RpR
    There is one problem with playing with heart; IF things do not go well, for any reason misfortune becomes semi-constant, putting your total heart into it can turn into total frustration so one tries harder and harder , or the opposite, decides the harder he tries the worse it gets and then says to hell with it, it is not worth the effort. The last few words remind me of some poster's attitude towards this season and team.
