    Gaetti's numbers were never bad, and Koskie has one bad number, -1, his first year and one bad year after that, dream on. I am not a big fan of Larnach's weak arm but he is a far, far better fielder than Miranda, trade Miranda. Some people blither here about letting Garlic g,o and his (the wonderful world of analytics) OPS is better than the other three rookies; his best position is Left Field and that is where some one is needed. Larnach has good numbers in right field where he can back-up Kepler.

    Miranda's fielding is abysmal, dump him.

    Miranda has totally negative numbers fielding, while Kirilloff is negative in left field and even in right, where they do not need any one ; they have had good bats for the past several weeks but lets see how that plays out after the All-Star game. Smalley went into the All-Star game with 20 home runs one year and finished the year with 24. Larnach has totally positive fielding numbers and Garlick has postitive numbers in left field where some one is need to be a regular. Miranda and Kirilloff are best trade bait if they try to get a better pitcher.

    Not hitting as many Bombas yet but he hit 21 doubles last year and already has 12 this year with 46 rbi. Your fabled rookies would be below the Mendoza line.

    What magic says they can even hit major league pitching?
  6. RpR
    Rookies from the minors are not owed a spot, no one is filling for any one , except on the occasion a veteran is on IL and the spot is temporarily filled. The rookies earn their spot, at this point Gordon and all the rest have earned their place on the field IF they play, NO rookie is taking any thing from any one. If they do not play , then it is because management thinks some one else should be there, even if we think that is not right.

    The word trust is a misnomer, expectations is what players try to perform up to, for coaches and fans.
  8. RpR
    Which is worse, swinging at a first pitch, or standing and watching a first pitch burn down middle of the strike zone?
  9. RpR
    He has major trouble with lefties, so not gonna happen.
  10. RpR
    Kirilloff is batting .067 vs left handed pitchers; Larnachis batting .212 against right handed pitchers which he has faced all most 3 times as often as left handed. Miranda at this point seems to be the real deal with a bat but none of them have excelled in the field and both Kirilloff and Larnach do not have strong arms, while they are fighting for the left field position. Only Miranda is a threat to Sano, and unless you have a crystal ball , no one here has any idea how well he will do after he returns, or how well any of these rookies will be doing two months from now. A covey of posters here are trade happy and some of them may end up being traded because they end upbeing better than average.

    the CAVE is GROWING.
  12. RpR
    To great of expectations base on the old Twins Bomba squad.
  13. RpR
    You greatly over rate the rookies .
  14. RpR
    Stop with the luck BS, if that is luck then every single hit is simple luck.?
  15. RpR
    Only in your opinion.
  16. RpR
    Didn't he used to be on the cover of Mad Magazine?
  17. RpR
    Arraez at third, you would be better off putting Sano at third than Arraez.
  18. RpR
    None has shown an inkling of equaling his fieldig skill, so he proably has no worries.

    "To be, or not to be, that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take Arms against a Sea of troubles,.."
  20. RpR
    IF, if there are any true knuckle-ball pitchers left i nthe league, the Twins could use him.
  21. RpR
    If Larnach comes back as the double hitting monster he was between Kirilloff, Miranda and Larnach, some one may find himself trade bait for improved pitching.
  22. RpR
    Simmons when he was best in the league averaged approx. 12 errors a year; Correa's GG last year had 11, so SS make errors as some times pushing it hard, which is why they are the best, goes awry.
  23. RpR
    Unless you want to emabarass the current rookies NOT a good comparison, by second year both were full time players with double digit home runs while Hrbek batted over .300. Gaetti played 9 games his first year and Hrbek played 24.
  24. RpR
    Your first sentence covers it well, Correa is dealing with the defense alignment that all the coaches stick him with, they may not be forms that he flourished with in the past. I still compare Correa to Simmons and Simmons range last year was HUGE, perhaps Correa's range is not as large and they are sticking him where he is most uncomfortable handi-capping his talent. Without him the Twins would be in a world of hurt.

    Cave's bats, oooohhhh, those near the Mendoza line better look over their shoulders.
