    Sanchez was the primary catcher in 2022; from his stats it was his first year of improved defense over past years.

    The Bremer Curse; it seemed as soon as Bremer bragged a player for any thing, that thing went South.
  3. RpR
    Well they already roster two short side players in Kirilloff and Julen.

    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.
  6. RpR
    Or a mediocre rookie.
  7. RpR
    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.
  8. RpR
    Young is what ever one wants it to be.

    Could have, would have, should have -- but he did fall apart.
  10. RpR
    They should go to the Field of Dreams.

    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.

    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.

    "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.

    The old saying: The devil is in the details.
  15. RpR
    About the same.

    I agree in Center Field especially , range, is of utmost importance. At that Lewis has poor range at Third Base and that may be one reason he is not in the outfield where it really, really counts. Slow to get to the ball, thrown in with an eephus pitch, that leads to extra bases and runs scored. Lewis' bat, if he is a good as he has shown glimmers of, will keep him in the game but unless his fielding improves, a bit, he may be sharing DH with some other gents a bit on, if one of the AAA rookies is as good as some think they are.
  17. RpR
    By God man, I think you are right.
  18. RpR
    MPH on a throw, means just as much as ball exit speed off of a bat; actually it means a lot more because an Eephus throw from the outfield can mean a hit is a double not a single, or, whether a runner breaking from Second can score. Lewis is at third because the baseball professionals determined that is where he belongs; Lee is a shot in the dark at this point so any talking of if , much less where, he plays is scuttlebutt. He is not a Correa class player in the infield, but this year will separate the wheat from the chaff as to who is the latest greatest and who is just competent .
  19. RpR
    You could be correct; all outfielders are above him. His average is 1 mph less than his maximum; all the other outfielder difference is from 5 to 10 mph, that is a huge difference. There is no one listed under him who was an outfielder, because he does not belong in the outfield.
  20. RpR
    Lewis does not have the arm needed for the outfield so he is not going there, ever.
  21. RpR
    No problem because I signed Gallo to take his place.
  22. RpR
    He did/is doing pretty well in the Venezuelan Winter League.
  23. RpR
    Kirilloff is no bettr defender than Julien.
  24. RpR
    For an absolute top rank pitcher it would more likely take Julien and Gordon at the very least
  25. RpR
    Opportunity exists in the AAA where they can, show they are too good for AAA and maybe worth a try. The Majors are not AAA+.
