    Never thought I would be advocating for Arraez but , yes, his range is below average but his runs above average per year are 9 at first base and 17 at second.
  2. RpR
    Eddie Rosario with the Twins
  3. RpR
    Then you think it was stupid to dump Rosario, his batting numbers were very good and they still dumped him. You have to if hitting is so important plus if hitting is that important then the rookies who have put up lousy numbers should go back to AAA till they prove then deserve to be up, not floating around the Mendoza line, or traded for veterans whoes already have shown what they can do . The latter is how they got a top line team in 2019,

    I was not an Arraez fan, but he has earned my respect, and I believe what he does next year will show what to expect in the future and he should do it here. Players also decide to come to a team, and how well they do, by how a team treats its players; I believe the Twins have had a reputation of treating most players as a person who is part of a family; If the Twins start acting like a seraglio , whose players are viewed as demimonde little wonder why a player would not come here.

    It is either poor defense or poor pitching, you take your pick, but then the MINUS runs per game/year number on a fielder point to defense , not pitching You do not believe them , fine; I do.
  6. RpR
    NO, just NO
  7. RpR
    One run games are often due to poor defense; Twins have lost a LOT of one run games. Also, I remember well when some here were moaning about TOO MANY home runs, and no small ball, they should be happy now, the bomba squad is gone; other teams beat the Twins with small ball, defense put the brakes on small ball.
  8. RpR
    Twins have lost far, far too many games due to amateurish defense.
  9. RpR
    Go from a -1 Rdrs/yr to a -9 Rdrs/yr not wise or needed.
  10. RpR
    If the Twin lose Polanco and Kepler and rely on Jeffers, they are no where team, with 3rd place at best.
  11. RpR
    The potential you speak is at this point wishful thinking, at the same point in his career Cave greatly outperformed Celestino; Cave's injury put a big divot in his career, Celestino has no reason to be at the level he is, particularly lack of base running speed shows no desire to excel , Most who enter the Big Show and do meh , remain meh, wishful thinking rarely comes true.
  12. RpR
    Caves batting numbers were similer and actually better than Celestino's this year; Cave had his best fielding numbers ever and the two were actually quite similar. To trash Cave as an excuse for Celestino's neither here nor there results, makes no sense; Cave was the better of the two.
  13. RpR
    I do not follow rookies but did he come up for one game , did really well and was sent down again?
  14. RpR
    Just how? 'His -34 Rdrs/yr., his fielding is as good as Jeffers' throwing out base runners while his batting averaage was tanking the more he played. Contreras had one more home run, only 4 less RBI, and is a very good fielder, he would fit better than Wallner The boy may have big potential but he has a LONG way to go .
  15. RpR
    Contreras played 24 games in the outfield , his Rdrs/yr was 24 Wallner played 16 games in the outfield, his Rdrs/yr was -34 Wallner belongs in the minors, probabaly AA.
  16. RpR
    LOL, ?
  17. RpR
    Because Jeffers is not a good catcher.
  18. RpR
    At his age Billy Hamilton was a better batter and a far better fielder; Celestino's day may have come and gone.
  19. RpR
    I was never a fan of Larnach but I hope this spring he shows he deserves to be in left field; he has good defense numbers. I like Gordon but he is too often a combination of Go Go Gomez (running) and Willie Norton ( fielding) (In Norton's defense, his fielding improved drastically his last year but his bat disappeared.) you are never sure which form of Gordon will show up each game.
  20. RpR
    Buxton loathed being Designated Hitter, his batting average showed that well.
  21. RpR
    Narvaez is another run-at-will catcher, other teams would love that; if you want to steal bases ,play the Twins.
  22. RpR
    No I do not follow rookies rules closly at all. He had only 79 games in 2021, what is the minimum games played to be eligible for RoY?
  23. RpR
    That really is sad as he never got to put in a full season to see what he can or cannot do; although with the Twins bring rookies up, down, up , down not surprising.
  24. RpR
    IF, if Wallner improved drstically, he might make AAA Player of the Year but that would be amazing. Larnach, if he picks up where he left off, slight chance.
  25. RpR
    Wallner should not be on the list, if Lewis ever plays without injury he is the best chance.
