    Yep, trade Buxton for a crap shoot; ah, the Twins return to the mediocre or worse 70's, brilliant.
  2. RpR
    If they dump Buxton, they darn well better sign Cruz as they will need his bat to the extreme.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. RpR
    OK, he is a lousy catcher, trade him, put Rortvedt in, his defense looks to be as good as Mauer.
  6. 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.
  7. RpR
    Jeffer's hitting is what it is; his defense needs LOTS of work, trade him.
  8. RpR
    He is not good against lefties, and is not a good fielder; trade him if any one wants him.
  9. 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.

    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.
  11. RpR
    Yep, 89 loses is not enough we want a full 100.
  12. 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.
  13. RpR
    Umm, what is the mathematical formula for that?
  14. RpR
    No one said he would have saved the season, except you.
  15. RpR
    Especially good to forget the past season too.?
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. RpR
    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.
  20. RpR
    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.
  21. RpR
    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.
  22. RpR
    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.
  23. RpR
    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.
  24. RpR
    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.
  25. RpR
    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.
