    How many players would not have missed a lot of game taking a pitch on the hand?
  2. RpR
    You mean strike-outs by committee.
  3. RpR
    Jeffers is NOT a good catcher, average on his best day.
  4. RpR
    A LOT of players do not do well after a not wanted trade; heck the Twins have gotten a lot of them.
  5. RpR
    100 losses he they come.
  6. RpR
    Yep, .200 hitters on a good day, just what the Twins do not need.
  7. RpR
    They cannot afford a SS with better fielding ability than Simmons and there are few, very few; if they lost Buxton and go a lousy SS with a good bat, they would be cutting off their nose to spite their face, who is as good a fielder as Buxton that can hit like him.
  8. RpR
    Yep, trade Buxton for a crap shoot; ah, the Twins return to the mediocre or worse 70's, brilliant.
  9. RpR
    If they dump Buxton, they darn well better sign Cruz as they will need his bat to the extreme.
  10. RpR
    That is your opinion, or a matter of -- hmm analytics, I will use the ones that fit an opinion.em Beyond SS, which any one the Twins can afford will be a drop defensively from Simmons; they need a Left Fielder badly that has quick agile feet and a strong accurate arm. There is no one in the system that fits that bill, they need a quality veteran.
  11. RpR
    Baseball Ref. stats do not show Simmons to be bad a SS, but they do show the only place Arraez had good number was at 2nd Base, not 3rd base.
  12. RpR
    OK, he is a lousy catcher, trade him, put Rortvedt in, his defense looks to be as good as Mauer.
  13. RpR
    Liking him means squat: 2021 Rtot -1 Rtot/yr -2 Rf/9 8.80 -- Rf/G 7.81 ---- League Rf/9 9.35 League Rf/G 9.13 Close is good enough, LOL, Defense is sub-par.
  14. RpR
    Jeffer's hitting is what it is; his defense needs LOTS of work, trade him.
  15. RpR
    He is not good against lefties, and is not a good fielder; trade him if any one wants him.
  16. RpR
    In reality there is no one who has shown any real promise for left field; for the Larnach pie-in-the-sky rhetoric, he has shown to be no better than Rooker, slow with lousy fielding ability. Celestino has fielding agility but has to learn to hit, Garlic looked good but is a center field back-up, other than those two you might as well throw the bones as it is a crap shoot based on -- gee I hope .... Time to sign a competent veteran for a year or two.
  17. RpR
    Yep. While Polanco is far from a top 2nd Base Man, Donaldson, Simmons and Polanco are an excellent infield; sticking a rookie in there makes the infield SS just a AAA experiment.
  18. RpR
    Yep, 89 loses is not enough we want a full 100.
  19. RpR
    It is not a step down, it is falling into a bottom-less cavern. Rortvedt is probably as good defensively as Mauer but Jeffers is not as good as Garver and Jeffers and Rortvedt batting will leave the Twins with a combined sub .200 batting average.
  20. RpR
    Umm, what is the mathematical formula for that?
  21. RpR
    No one said he would have saved the season, except you.
  22. RpR
    Especially good to forget the past season too.?
  23. RpR
    That is only assuming that being released from the only team he ever knew did not affect his performance or that he would have had identical at bats with the Twins; his fielding arm would have made a difference as Larnach and Rooker on their best days came up short.
  24. RpR
    At this point we have no outfielder that has an arm like him or a bat like his; unless .200 hitters whose fielding skills are lessor than Rosario's are the new norm for the Twins, we made an error not bringing him back.
  25. RpR
    He is a Banjo hitter, with bad knees, and only plays fairly well at Second Base where Polanco is simply better on offense and defense.
