  1. The dissing of Simmons is here, is based purely on bias -- I don;t like his style, therefore; he is bad -- grade school prejudice. He, in his career, had only one season with a goodly number of home runs and one year with a large number of RBIs, but his career batting average , even with this years slump is still .265, and he hit .281/78/92 in 2016/17/18 so stick your childish hatred for him in your back-pocket and stick to the facts. I personally like his laissez faire attitude even over Astudillo's who looks like he is annoyed with some thing, or Polanco who looks like a deer in the head-lights.
  2. If he had he would be in the Majors; he is not, so he has not.
  3. He is there because the coaches on both sides think he should be.
  4. Bingo, jeffer's is lousy at blocking balls; commentators early in the year said the way he sits is gong to be a problem.
  5. Astudillo is a better catcher than Jeffers and a much better hitter.
  6. Twins wanted to win a game , not have a rookie blown out.
  7. Because his defense is worlds better than anyone else on the team, THAT is why he was hired.?
  8. No Baldelli and Twins win again, hmmmm.
  9. I do believe he thinks every player on the team is inexplicable.
  10. LOL, but I do like his speed; to see him and Bux on the bases at the same time would be interesting; maybe the Twins can get a steal pf home again.
  11. Yes lets return to the hey-days of 1971-1980 ; a .500 season is a good year and 1 million fans is fantastic years.
  12. If the Pohlads allowed Baldelli to start putting AAA much less AA players in to expose their failings , would not hit 100 losses but would get close enough to it to see empty stands which is the last thing the Pohlands want.
  13. 100 plus losses here we come.
  14. Yeah let's bring up unknown q, k or g they may suck but then we can bring up h, j or m and if they suck we can....
  15. He had trouble using his glove twice early on; as the commentator said on the last one, he learned to bare hand it and not use his glove. He hustles but is as erratic as Polanco was when he played short stop.
  16. Not that long ago some here were hyperventilating over whether Arraez could win the batting title.?
  17. Arraez fielding today, Sept. 5 confirms they have a serious problem when Donaldson or Simmons do not play.
  18. Kiriloff is still a rookie unknown, he did not play enough games to prove anything so do not bet on the unknown. Hoping he continues at least as good as he was for sure; spring training will tell a lot. Arraez would be a fielding let down compared to what we have now, and his batting average is dropping like a rock.
  19. That is what spring training is for, not bringing in some rookie to get his butt handed to him now.
  20. Empty stands which will bother the Pohlads greatly, plus to go from a 90 loss season to another 90 loss season would be obtuse on its best day.
  21. Twins need one capable of being a 20 game winner (still my standard for best of the good).
  22. If you have long straight hair, as I do, the LAST thing you want is to have it flowing (wildly flopping and tangling in the wind, as some time you cannot untangle it ) The picture reminds me of dudes trying to grow mustache and beard with out enough facial follicles to do so.?
  23. All I can say about that fielding is Yuk.
  24. Part of it is being around mostly same people for years while also enjoying where you are at. I firmly believe that is part of what make Twins player play well or mediocre.
