  1. Royce is definitely going to be one of the more interesting decisions. Do they want to pay him $5 million in arbitration? My guess is that they will. He's teased us with enough glimpses of what he could be for the Twins to not pull the plug just yet. But yeah, a guy with a sub .300 OBP and no permanent position is not worthy of a guaranteed spot in the lineup.
  2. I believe he is signed through the 2028 season. My guess is they won't part ways unless he specifically requests a change of scenery. But I do agree the Twins shouldn't extend his contract.
  3. For a lot of us it really is love (in a platonic sense). When the dude is healthy he is MVP caliber and can carry a team, but there is a lot of built up frustration over the realization that his career will be summed up as "what if", because of all the nagging injuries. I want him in the lineup, but I think most of us realize that we can't count on him to be available for prolonged periods of time. For the purposes of roster construction, I think the Twins need to assume that he won't be available.
  4. Jeffers has to be their number one priority this offseason. The lineup isn't good enough to compensate for Caratini's bat, and Lackey is just hope way out on the horizon, and may never show up.
  5. Without reliable starting pitching this organization is going nowhere. Whatever happened to the vaunted Falvey pitching pipeline? This team certainly has a lot of other deficiencies, but good starting pitching can make a bad team into a great team.
  6. "A fan touched the ball, so it was ruled a ground rule double..." In fairness, the ball bounced into the stands, hit a guy and bounced back into the field. It would have been a ground rule double irregardless of whether the fan touched it or not.
  7. Make Duran work. He'll eventually start missing the zone.
  8. He was a great player and probably a nice guy. But yeah, he is about as interesting as watching paint dry. Need more Plouffe. I know I am in the minority, but I thought Roy Smalley was the best.
  9. "They are who we thought they were." -Dennis Green
  10. He is a complete liability. His bat isn't good enough to paper over his inability to play any position.
  11. Everything you said is true, although it wasn't always like this. I can remember people going nuts when Kirby Puckett's name came up in the lineup at the Metrodome and the early days of Target Field could get raucous with Mauer, Morneau, and Dozier. Over time, the air goes out of the balloon when 1. The fans perceive the club has next to zero chance of making the playoffs, and 2. They don't recognize most of the names in the lineup on a given day.
  12. My bad. The feed I have showed Carantini lumbering down the line. They didn't show him crossing the plate.
  13. It was a good throw, but the way Carantini runs there was no reason to risk it with only one out
  14. I have the Brewers feed and they are saying how the Twins play their guys out of position. Royce came up as a shortstop and has generally played in the infield. It was a simple ground ball.
