    Yep, 89 loses is not enough we want a full 100.
  2. RpR
    HE should know that is illegal and say no, REGARDLESS of what any coach says' this is not pee-wee football with little boys doing as told.
  3. 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.

    There is a lot of Simmon's hate on this site; he was the best defense player on the team and his range made Arraez look like a turtle with a bad leg. He had two fewer errors than during two of his previous GG years.
  5. RpR
    Umm, what is the mathematical formula for that?
  6. RpR
    No one said he would have saved the season, except you.
  7. RpR
    Especially good to forget the past season too.?
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.

    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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. RpR
    Yep 35 errors in 2015 and 20 errors in 2018 means he is so much better than Simmons., he may challenge Polanco at 2nd though.
  19. RpR
    History of Correa's fielding numbers say you are wrong.
  20. RpR
    I will unsay about Correa being no better than Polanco, as far as errors go, but other wise he is lacking especially in range, while Baez is minor league level at short stop with his Rtot and Rdrs numbers this year of 1 and -1 with per yr number of 10 and -13 while Simmons were 14-14 and 16-15 -- Seager came in at 1-0 and -1-0. Semien's numbers are just as lacking compared to Simmons, and his bat is NO better then Simmons while NONE of them are in the same league of fielding ability as Simmons.
  21. RpR
    Correa did rank better than Simmons in some categories from Baseball Ref. but his life numbers are lower especially in range; better bet on Simmons having a bad year, than hoping Correa will get better.
  22. RpR
    Yep, Arraez gets on -- Donaldson homer; Astudillo gets on -- Cruz homer -- game over with Cruz hopping down the first base line.
  23. RpR
    Jeffers is not as good a catcher as Astudillo but Willians got few chances this year, while Jeffers was continually chasing balls that go by him.
  24. RpR
    No, unless some rookie come out of spring training red hot, and that means less than one showing he still belongs in AA.
  25. RpR
    Correa is no better at Short than Polanco, good grief! Non on that list would be as good defensively as Simmons and fielding is where the Twins are really hurting, although strike out kings in the outfield is a worry.
