  1. I would bet a lot of money, baseball scouts and coaches disagree with 98.6 percent of the rhetoric floating around here.
  2. The Twins record after April 24, a little less than two weeks from now, will show if they are firing on all cylinders or hit and miss.
  3. Arraez backed off when Kiriloff blew a play, he is not a putz; I think his bad moves from last year are etched in his mind and he has no plans to repeat.
  4. Speed, Celestinos biggest asset, BRAVO.
  5. I bet Correa is not hitting better as he is letting Sano and Kiriloff beat the slumps , then he will turn it on.
  6. OH my shades of Simmons, including batting average, whoo ha ha ha.
  7. Kiriloff has some fortune even if he does not get another hit.
  8. Fascinating , is there any measure of running while tracking a ball with a glove on any where?
  9. Where does one find it.
  10. If only Arraez had the baserunning ability of Carew and Tovar, I had no love for him but he is doing very well this year.
  11. Only if they are both playing baseball, more important there would be Yao Ming's huge strike zone.?
  12. I am answering with the same tone of logic they are using.
  13. WOW, you mean they sit with radar guns every game , every day, every year and see if a six foot tall guy can run faster than a six-four guy; they have way too much time on their hands.?
  14. Gee, what do you think carries more weight to managers, what they see, or what an electronic gizmo said at one time some where. No wait, Keplers 6-4 height stride slows him down because any one knows Gordon's 6-0 height shorter stride legs are move faster.?
  15. Sano's first Home Run is over 450 feet.
  16. When he and Kepler were both going for the same ball, Gordon's slower running speed was obvious unless one is blind in one eye and cannot see out of the other, plus Gordon's lack perof height is not in his favor. I checked his numbers in left field at Baseball Ref. and he does NOT belong in left field, period; slow foot Larnach has better range and numbers that Gordon does. Short Stop is the only place he has good numbers and he will not be playing there often.
  17. Carp are great tasting but a bitch to clean for frying; smoked Carp is about as good as it gets. I have had a lot of Whitefish from Northern Minn. and Carp; Carp are better.
  18. Gordon simply does not have the speed to play center field well, which showed plainly when he and Kepler were chasing a ball at the same time. Celestino, from what I have seen, seems to have the speed and agility to fit well there, and Garlick was much better than Gordon. In left field, if they have no one with foot speed then get some one with a strong accurate arm; way back in 2013 they had Ryan Doumit playing outfield and catching. Now he his range was lacking but I remember well one game when he fielded a ball in deep right field and threw a perfect throw to get the runner out at home; the catcher did not have do any thing but lower his glove to get the runner out The announcer said that was because when catchers play the outfield, their strong quick arms are a huge bonus.
  19. Maybe 2023 but 2022 big league is not training camp try-outs for rookies; last year was necessity, if they do it again the cellar will be their reward.
  20. Yep, just like Rooker.
  21. After two more weeks of games, we will have an idea of which of these three games are most like the rest of the season.
  22. Three Twins Rookies: Cave .474 Garlick .375 Larnach .118 I wonder which one will come up if Kiriloff is sent down.
