  1. Then every player who has not equaled or exceeded the year before is an absolute failure; any one who compares another's performance by one single year of many is narrow minded and will never be pleased.
  2. The bias against Correa here is astounding, add to the the magical future play of rookies is an astounding pie-in-the-sky -- maybe we should bring Rooker back. This is a team sport where players can become quasi-brothers; it is not place where a souteneur has people for sale, or use.
  3. Why would any team move some one whose entire career is short stop, to third; good way to ruin a player.
  4. My computer is not set-up for the acute accent symbol in Spanish, so I used the common Latin spelling. I had one once where I could change key board easily, including to Cyrillic, but that one gave up the ghost.
  5. The Twins have shown in the past, without a good defense, offense is nullified; the Twins needed/need the latter greatly.
  6. I said it in another thread, Correa was not given the money for his bat; or Polanco would be at Short Stop and they would have bought one of the best Second Basemen in the League.
  7. So he will only hit 3 home runs for the rest of the season - Shizzam!
  8. Gee, Rod Carew only had an OPS of .736 when he was 25, should have traded him.
  9. The MLB wizards did crap on the Twins but that does not mean the Twins may have still lost the game.
  10. RpR

    Where's Wallner?

    Wallner is batting .188 in the Minors where he should stay.
  11. As compared to what? Simmons, when he was the best of the best had up and down years; Correa is still in his twenties you expect him not to be a normal human being with ups and downs? Ozzie Smith the best Short Stop in my life time, did not hit his offensive peak till he was 30.
  12. Every one talks about developing, what percentage to top line pitchers were created in a farm system verses being as good as they are because they were born with that talent? That talent is what scouts used to see with juggling numbers.
  13. Twins have now had probably the two best Short Stop players in the past decade; posters have ragged on both from the get-go; If the Twins lose Correa it will leave a gapping hole in their defense especially as First Base is still a unfilled void.
  14. Caesar Tovar returns; I have to admit, Arraez and he both in the game remind of the days of Rod and Caesar.
  15. I am beginning to wonder if there is a FO created gremlin in the Twins pitching force. When Happ left for the Cardinals, sudden change, similar with some others that went else where to a degree.
  16. I am going to say Cruz; his leadership in the club house is void not refilled. Were he here with Correa, Urshela, Sanchez, Sano their numbers would better as would Cruz's though his rbi production is still plenty this year.
  17. That is all a crap shoot at best, wishful thinking at worst. Some will do well and some will be coulda , woulda , shoulda.
  18. Jeffers is not better than Sanchez in any form.
  19. That all the Brouhaha was going to be doused with reality was not hard to forsee.
  20. Buxton's defense, when he is in the outfield makes a huge difference but has any one noticed he is heading for the Mendoza line? You can rant about pitching but the twins would have lost whether or not Duffey pitched, dumping on Duffey is silly as the only two runs the Twins got was not from any thing that resembled a professional offense.
  21. Gaetti was never negative at third; Koskie was a positive , except his first ten games; Plouffe was never a good infielder but not bad with a bat. We need top line fielders more that good bats, defense has been a large negative for the Twins too long.
  22. Mirandas fielding is still a negative Rodriguez is in a whole different universe from Miranda.
