    They might have done better with a talented SS, Polanco's 22 errors has to be near a Twins record ; Schoop was very good at 2nd base for some bone-headed reason they pulled him for Arraez in 2019.

    Interesting, good to see Lenny Green as high as he is.

    Wallner's "massive" 2022 is a LOT more than slightly exaggerated. He showed some potential but he belongs in AAA where whether or not he is all show, no go will be exposed. As I wrote in another thread, IF, IF he makes the effort Judge did to improve, he has a very, very bright future; if not he could be another Rooker/Badoo type. I watched Cave in some of the clips from his time in the Saints; he always had a good attitude and showed he loved the game; time will tell if with Baltimore he can return to the level of play he had his first year with the Twins. I personally think there is something in the Twins management that has/can harm players abilities.

    With Cave gone , Twins need a GOOD veteran left fielder; some seem to think Larnach is the latest greatest but nothing so far has show him to be more than another rookie wannabe. A month from now it will be interesting to see what the Twins office has done with players coming and going.

    Too bad, but he is now on a better team and I hope he does well.

    The Twins Need Hitters

    RpR commented on Greglw3's blog entry in Greg Allen

    Arraez had 7 more RBI this year, 49, with 120 more at bats. He was no better than average, at best. HIs batting title earned him a place on the team , to me, but that is all.
  7. RpR
    Larnach had two neither here nor there partial seasons, he is a lock for nothing. All this pipe dream dreaming for rookies who have not shown they are long term Major League players; I still remember all the blah, blah , blah about Badoo last year, good grief.

    The Twins Need Hitters

    RpR commented on Greglw3's blog entry in Greg Allen

    Arraez and Correa got on base, they were , at best, average with runners on base.
  9. RpR
    None of the "younger more talented players" have shown that they are. Some can hit but field balls poorly , some can field, none as well as Cave, but have trouble staying above the Mendoza line, none can hit and field, Caves numbers his first year up looked good, then came ... after next season, we will see how "talented " the rookies are. MIranda Cave - first year

    The Vikings are where they are by the grace of God, not because they are a good team that deserves their record.
  11. RpR
    I looked at Judge's first year at Baseball Ref; his first year is in many ways similar to Wallner this year, IF, a big IF, the Twins can get Wallner to do the work to improve his play, the way Judge did, then they MAY have theri version of Judge. Next year will determine if Wallner is a Bonanza or Bust.
  12. RpR
    So is Jeffers, Larnach, Celestino, Wallner, etc., etc., etc.
  13. RpR
    Oh come on , you are acting as if Baseball is as dangerous to the human body as Football; paranoia strikes deep, into your life it will creep....

    Miranda
  15. RpR
    I see little difference between Rooker and Wallner; Wallner has a strong arm, but his fielding is a cross between Keystone Cop and a bull in a China shop. After spring training, how much AAA he still needs will be known.
  16. RpR
    Throwing the bones hoping against hope there are first class rookies will mean losing season after losing season and that cannot be afforded by the Pohlads as people already are not coming in droves and will not return to watch a gaggle of AAA wannabes show they should still be in AAA. 2019 they brought in good veterans and WON, they are all gone now and as well as Miranda did this year there the Majors is not where rookies are taught how to field; he would be a good DH but they need a 1st baseman who can field as well as he hits. The Twins best winning years were a team, players coming back, year after year, that brings in fans to see a "Team" not a here today gone tomorrow group of unknowns; losing Arraez, would mean some nobody newbie would take his place and that tells fans to stay home.
  17. RpR
    Next spring training will expose the first season flukes from the, at minimum, average talent. Been awhile since the twins have had a crop of better then average rookies, only time will tell.
  18. RpR
    Arraez is a good Second Baseman, he is as good there as Gordon is not good; move him and there is a big hole in the infield when Polanco does not play.
  19. RpR
    Was this a speedy game; game started, I went out to work on my car, came back in the game was over.
  20. RpR
    Hamilton has not even had a slight chance to show if he can hit, but then ,his bat last year ate up the Twins for Chicago. In 10 years B. Hamilton has 10 errors, any where; this year Gordon has 9.
  21. RpR
    Spring training will weed out worst of the newbies; I am just curios to see who wanders into spring training.
  22. RpR
    Absolutely no worse than Gordon.
  23. RpR
    Baseball Ref. has the information also.
  24. RpR
    ESPN has C. Hamilton at 1st, why is Gordon at 2nd again, Baldelli wants to see his error number increase, put B. Hamilton at 2nd and save Gordon for pinch hitting, later in the game.
  25. RpR
    None very well.
