    Shoddy defense behind mediocre pitching combined with horrid hitting from multiple "starters".
  2. SteveLV
    The decision to tender that Arb figure to Larnach remains a mystery. They claim poverty. Larnach is a decent player who is basically league average. That makes him good on this roster, but I believe they should aspire for more than average. Time will tell I guess.
  3. SteveLV
    I am not sure they will be THAT bad, but I would not dispute Vegas at 71.5 wins, 18.5 under .500. As a matter of fact, I would bet the under if I were a betting person.

    I think this team could be one of the worst 4 teams in MLB this year. Not even remotely "competitive", despite new Owner's protestations. And Lewis looks horrid. Glad he doesn't do slumps....
  5. SteveLV
    Roden wants to go north. Lewis looks simply awful. Bad error by Lee in 1st leading to 2 unearned runs. With proper fielding, Mathews pitches 5 clean innings with 4 hits surrendered. Pretty darn solid.
  6. SteveLV
    Love him as a player, but, Man, he is hurt so often. Be well young man!
  7. SteveLV
    Are we seriously discussing the possibility of this franchise dropping major coin on Ryan and extending him? The odds of this are less than 10% IMO. 1) He wants more money than the Twins are willing to pay; 2) He may get hurt (God forbid); 3) He wants to test FA; 4) He is likely to get traded before he hits FA. 5) He wants to play for a better team. Probably other factors, too, but that seems sufficient to make an extension a remote possibility. I will believe it when I see it. New, aggressive ownership only chance of this happening.

    Gonzo and ERod go 3/3 and then get sent down. Figures.
  9. SteveLV
    The 2 young OF's have been the best hitters in ST. Twins trying to save money by keeping them down in AAA until the inevitable later call up when Outman and/or Larnach and/or Wallner falter(s).
  10. SteveLV
    Woof on Topa. Objectively, he should be DFA and possibly given time in AAA once he clears. He might simply be toast at 35.
  11. SteveLV
    I don't want to go through all the math again, but because of Ober's size and his release point, his fastball is effectively a couple MPH faster than the pure speed recorded. In other words, the time it takes the ball to go from his hand to the plate is a shorter interval because the ball needs to travel a shorter distance. But he certainly would be better with higher velo.
  12. SteveLV
    Richie the Goat, I posted that I would bet the under at 72 wins, so, apparently, we agree.
  13. SteveLV
    The chances this team wins 75 games this year is probably, realistically, about 15%. Vegas has them at 72.5, only above the Angels, Rockies, Nationals, White Sox and Cardinals. I think I would take the Under on that total, but 72-90 seems about right, 18 games below .500. This team simply isn't good, despite Tom's statements about competitiveness.
  14. SteveLV
    Nah, just run the youngsters out there. It is sink or swim time. Just like Viola in his early career where he lost like 17 or 19 games. Have to learn how to pitch at this level, or learn that you can't pitch at this level.
  15. SteveLV
    2-8-1, about what I would expect from this collection of players. Lucky to have 400 win percentage this year. Feel badly for Shelton having to manage this crew....
  16. SteveLV
    Why would this be a surprise? He isn't good and he is old. He should not make the roster, but he will anyways.
  17. SteveLV
    Raya has been a pro pitcher for a number of years now. If he is incapable of throwing strikes---much less hit his spots--he can't be a pitcher.
  18. SteveLV
    This team is so frickin' bad. It is going to be a LONG season, folks. The idea that they are "competitive" is an insult to anyone's intelligence. Who do they think they are kidding?
  19. SteveLV
    I agree on Wallner, Mr. Chief, but if he continues to wallow at the plate he should be optioned out or traded. He can't field, so he needs to be able to hit to keep his roster spot. Early days, but tacked on to last year it is depressing. I thought he was going to be a total stud when he first came up.
  20. SteveLV
    Cross posted from the other Spring Training thread, but Roden sure seems to want the job, and Wallner and Outman do not, so far. I would be delighted to see Roden and ERod make the MLB roster instead of Wallner and Outman if these performances continue....
  21. SteveLV
    Roden wants to make the team. Apparently Wallner does not. O for the Spring so far with tons of K's (but none today) I am perfectly fine with Outman and Wallner being off the MLB roster. Substitute ERod and Roden.
  22. SteveLV
    I wonder what it would take to get Griffin from the Pirates? Walker Jenkins plus Rojas? More? Move either Culpepper ultimately to 3B, Lewis to 1B if he gets his hitting back on track, Lee is the utility IF.
  23. SteveLV
    JBK, in the Twins bullpen, is there a difference?
  24. SteveLV
    My reaction to the headline: "I bet they are!".
  25. SteveLV
    This pretty much torpedoes any chance for the Twins to win the AL Central. With Skubal and Valdez, Tigers must be heavy favorites. Anything can happen, but this is a major difference maker. Simply shocked our boy Tom did not offer this deal! :)
