  1. Unlike Rooker and Larnach he showed agility and style in the field, after time in the minors he may be a long term with the Twins.
  2. Cruz brought more to the Twins than just his bat. I would wager money the Pohlads do not want to see dropping income continue from a Twins team that for years becomes one struggling to play .500 ball as they juggle the line-up with rookie wannabes. One good year will put fans in the stands, for awhile, which this year showed so acquiring top level veterans, as they did in 2019 can be the shot in the arm they need.
  3. Arraez is over rated for sure but sadly Willians may go. I wonder what will go on with Garlick, in his short time he was the best outfield backup. As was this year, Spring Games will say a lot as they did with Rooker this year who showed he is not major league level at this point which was reinforced when they brought him back up. Sad how Refsnyder slumped but so did a lot of players in the last weeks.
  4. So are all his fielding statss, you are the one who sees what he wants to see plus he no longer plays SS and this thread is about SS players. His Rtot and Rdrs at SS speak for them selves.
  5. Every thing is on the chart; -- except for this year, his bat was not much better than Simmons bug he now plays Second Base where he is like Polanco, much better. He is more of a home run hitter, and strike out batter and it seems that the former does not stop people from trashing Sano as he also has a lot of the latter. IF he can keep up what he did this year, his bat is incredible but he will not be playing short stop, any where, his fielding there is at best average on a his best day, at that ---- if one season determines a player status, then after 2020, neither should have been worth squat especially Marcus Semien his OBP, SLG and OPS numbers at bat were worse than Andrelton Simmons.
  6. Tell that to Baseball Ref. who numbers I posted; what you do not like is you loath Simmons for some reason and I like the guy.
  7. yup, after this lousy year, Simmons batting average has dropped to .265, no wait, even with modern math, that is higher than .256, my, my, my.
  8. Yep 35 errors in 2015 and 20 errors in 2018 means he is so much better than Simmons., he may challenge Polanco at 2nd though.
  9. I will unsay about Correa being no better than Polanco, as far as errors go, but other wise he is lacking especially in range, while Baez is minor league level at short stop with his Rtot and Rdrs numbers this year of 1 and -1 with per yr number of 10 and -13 while Simmons were 14-14 and 16-15 -- Seager came in at 1-0 and -1-0. Semien's numbers are just as lacking compared to Simmons, and his bat is NO better then Simmons while NONE of them are in the same league of fielding ability as Simmons.
  10. Correa did rank better than Simmons in some categories from Baseball Ref. but his life numbers are lower especially in range; better bet on Simmons having a bad year, than hoping Correa will get better.
  11. Yep, Arraez gets on -- Donaldson homer; Astudillo gets on -- Cruz homer -- game over with Cruz hopping down the first base line.
  12. Jeffers is not as good a catcher as Astudillo but Willians got few chances this year, while Jeffers was continually chasing balls that go by him.
  13. Correa is no better at Short than Polanco, good grief! Non on that list would be as good defensively as Simmons and fielding is where the Twins are really hurting, although strike out kings in the outfield is a worry.
  14. You said:" Fortunately for the Twins, Jeffers has a real chance at being one of those guys next year. " Based on what statistic?
  15. Arraez's fielding is sub-par, cut/trade him.
  16. Based on what statistic?
  17. LOL, yep Arraez, I would love to see more games where Twins lose without giving up a hit as Arraez throws the ball into right field, BRILLIANT. You like the adage but would use Keystone Cops for infielders, LOL ? You are correct on Cruz.
  18. Nope, he was dissing Ashbury.
  19. You would be just as satisfied if they had lost 100 or more games, as other last place teams did, fascinating.
  20. Larnach has shown he belongs in AAA, maybe for life; Arraez is a poor fielder and Twins need defense , not offense. Trade away the defense and actually the offense, and it will be a long, long time before the Twins are more than an after though in baseball.
  21. It it is not that long ago the Twins had an excellent game just and were happy to not have lost 100 games , SO, they are ten game better than then.?
  22. Rooker showed in his last game he either is forever AAA, or had better learn how field the ball.
  23. And runs and games, so change it.
  24. Yup. They blame the pitcher for a wild pitch but Jeffers is the reason they get away; he chased a lot balls this season a GOOD catcher would have blocked. The Announcers said same.
