    The exact same thought just appeared in my mind. That looks like some poor lineup construction to me.

    For anyone who may be interested in what Littell has accomplished at AAA from 2018 to 2019: He's improved at AAA as of late, and hopefully this year will go better for Zack after his handful of MLB games didn't fare well. With about 150 IP at AAA, you'd think Littell might be ready for the bigs sooner rather than later... if he's going to be a big-leaguer, that is.

    Boy, why do our opinions on Mauer have to be either love or hate? Yes, Joe was overpaid and he wasn't worth the money, but that didn't make him a horrible player and he contributed the best he could in the late part of his career. The fact that fans point at Joe's soft-spoken nature and accuse him of being a bad leader baffles me as well. That also doesn't mean moving on from him was the wrong move - the Twins found a great replacement who can defend the position to a similar standard Joe did, but now with power! Moving on was the right move, and he got the perfect send-off last September. Souhan's article is just another trolling/bait article that's just there to be controversial.

    Just because the Capps trade happened doesn’t mean they shouldn’t ever attempt to trade for a reliever again. Not to mention this FO is way different than it was back then.
  5. Danchat
    It’s crazy, you can’t intentionally walk anybody because this lineup is so good top to bottom.
  6. Danchat
    Well, Austin Adams is as bad as some of us feared. Yikes!
  7. Danchat
    They really like Arraez... Baldelli might not like it when they have to send him back to AAA. I feel like it's been awhile since the Twins had a good problem like this.
  8. Danchat
    As much as I like this kid, I think I’d send him back to AAA for a couple months for more seasoning and everyday PAs. But he’d certainly be back later in the season because I want this guy on my bench.
  9. Danchat
    ARRAEZ!!!!!
  10. Danchat
    Wow... I thought the Twins were going to lose and I stopped paying attention after the 5th inning... turns out I shouldn't give up on this team like that! This lineup has some serious fight to it!
  11. Danchat
    I'm surprised we have just one hit on Cahill in 5 innings... that's pretty disappointing, no matter how good your lineup is.
  12. Danchat
    I'd rather trade prospects at this point for a reliever who can help you now rather than pay Kimbrel too much and wait for him to sharpen up his stuff. There's just been too many examples of late-signing players underperforming consistently and we're also talking about signing over who's over 30 years old.
  13. Danchat
    Pineda apparently only gives up runs on solo HRs now.
  14. Danchat
    Oh, so that's why Dozier was so good last year... wait.
  15. Danchat
    It's funny how fast everyone's turned on Astudillo. Meanwhile, I've been thinking and I haven't heard anyone say it, but I think Astudillo has looked very good defensively as a catcher. So even with him not hitting over .300 anymore, he's still one of the best backup catchers in baseball, which is a rare thing to have. Oh, and I like how they've gotten Arraez in the lineup again. Let's keep giving the kid some ABs and see if he keeps hitting!
  16. Danchat
    Maybe this explains how a lot of our pitchers in the past few years put up gaudy stats in AAA but then stunk when they arrived to the majors.
  17. Danchat
    Arraez might be pulling a Rosario here - get called up for a week, stay for the rest of the season. Obviously SSS applies, but his bat looks legit and great plate discipline so far.
  18. Danchat
    Yeah, the lineup doesn't make a ton of sense... but I like that Arraez was moved up. Molly would be having him hit 9th every game because he's a rookie.
  19. Danchat
    So... we have two relievers you can trust in high leverage situations, and not much else other than a few overachieving mop-up arms (Harper/Magill/Morin). May is so volatile, he'll either strike out the side or throw a bunch of walks and get burned, and Hildenberger became Hindenberger. If injury strikes Parker or Rogers, this bullpen is going to go up in flames. Reinforcements, please! And I'm not worried at all about the lack of offense today. Can't win 'em all, especially with some key guys on the DL. Arraez looks pretty good for a guy who's barely played in AAA.
  20. Danchat
    Wow, Gibby's just throwing cookies now. He's looking like 2018 Odorizzi - good through the first two trips through the lineup, but cooked when the batters come up a third time.
  21. Danchat
    I would guess that the main reasons are that A: he doesn't have much power and B: he's only defensively average at 2B and not great at the other spots (though don't quote me on that). He can flat-out hit, so yeah, he probably should have been rated higher. Gordon's been ranked higher because of the projections of him as a stronger hitter and being able to play SS... but clearly Arraez has passed him up. If he develops some power, look out! He's going to be a MLB starter sooner than later in that case.
  22. Danchat
    C'mon, Rocco, the gig's up. Berrios isn't feeling it anymore, get a long reliever ready. Well, there we go.
  23. Danchat
    I have no words for this offense... just wow. LeBlanc blanked us in 2018, and it looks like we're returning the favor. I hope to see a pinch-hit AB for Luis Arraez, or possibly two. And we'll probably get to see Adams as well.
  24. Danchat
    You beat me to posting this...
  25. Danchat
    No Garver, no Cruz, no Rosario in the lineup? No problem! I love this lineup!
