    We need to find out what we have in Sano and then figure out where he and Plouffe finds out. Let's not make any rash moves and screw this up by trading Plouffe away and then learn Sano can't play 3B.

    So this list is like the best case scenario for the Twins this season... This makes me want to write the "15 Pessimistic Twins Predictions for 2015", where every prediction is the worst case scenario.
  3. Danchat
    I predict the Twins will have zero All-Stars.
  4. Danchat
    I can envision it now - he's going to get a revival in Baltimore. Parmelee is a bench bat at worst - he can hit around .250 with some power. Since the league's average is currently at .251, you'd think he could find a spot on somebody's roster.

    I predicted Gibson to have his breakout year in 2014, but it didn't quite happen. 2015 should be the time for him to bloom.

    I heard talk of Deunsing or Swarzak getting a spot in the rotation last season around this time of the year. They'll probably tell Stauffer that he can win a spot but he'll end up getting Swarzak's role. It wouldn't be the end of the world if he had to start in 1 or 2 emergency starts (like Swarzak did in 2014). I don't think there's anything to worry about. Stauffer isn't going to win a spot. I hope.

    You wouldn't even keep him as a backup catcher? So we have just one catcher on the current roster, then. If we don't consider Pinto or Herrmann as a catcher, I suppose the current backup would have to be non-40 man candidates like Fryer and Rohlfing. They need to give Pinto some more chances at catching. I don't think he was as bad as everyone says he was, and we need his bat in the lineup. I hope Molitor can come up with a way to get Pinto to work - or trade him and get something decent in return.

    Matt Albers is not here - he signed with the LG Twins, not the Minnesota Twins.
  9. Danchat
    I think Chris Herrmann is more of an emergency catcher, or at least that's how the Twins view him. Frankly, if he isn't catching, there aren't many reasons to have him on the roster.
  10. Danchat
    I don't think Nishi was hitting 40 HRs (I just checked-Nishi hit from 11-15 usually). His batting average was up around where Kang's is, though.
  11. Danchat
    I like the fact that he has 40 HRs. Maybe he could also play 2B or 3B... but those are filled here, too.
  12. Danchat
    Oh no... Parmelee is getting DFA'd... I'm not sure if anybody will claim him or not. I have this feeling that Baltimore will claim him and turn him into a decent player. I guess it's time to move on from my Parmelee jersey. Perhaps I should get a Danny Santana jersey now.
  13. Danchat
    My guess would be Aaron Thompson.
  14. Danchat
    I actually like this signing a lot. This is the type of no-risk high-reward signing I like. If Villareal isn't any good, he'll go to AAA. If he makes the team, he's 27 and has had a good season before. If he pitches poorly, we can easily boot him out and fire up another young bullpen pitcher. This is the type of pitcher we should have signed last offseason, rather than signing Guerrier.
  15. Danchat
    I think this is a pretty good move. I like Santana - though I am afraid because 2014 Santana looks a ton like 2013 Nolasco... but that doesn't mean he'll regress like Nolasco did. This is probably it for big FA moves. Our payroll doesn't have much room left, so if we do make any more moves, I'd find a CF.
  16. Danchat
    I don't think the Twins really wanted to keep Gilmartin. Too bad it turns out we got nothing for Ryan Doumit, but he wasn't worth much in the first place.
  17. Danchat
    Nope. Definitely nope.
  18. Danchat
    If he ends up playing for the Twins at some time this season, it will be a sign that the 2015 season has fallen into chaos.
  19. Danchat
    I'd definitely give him a look. If he's not too expensive, he could end up being a bargain. Though he might be the product of the Pittsburgh pitching staff... and that's why I think the Twins shouldn't touch Liriano.
  20. Danchat
    I just read that the Pirates signed Deibinson Romero. Good luck to him, and maybe he'll finally get a chance in the bigs in 2015.
  21. Danchat
    Maybe we're opening up a spot for the player that we're going to take in the Rule 5 Draft?
  22. Danchat
    I am in favor of this. We could give them a bullpen pitcher or two. We have plenty of young guys ready to take some spots in the bullpen. Actually, now that I think about it, would it be possible to tender Duensing and then trade him? Or does that not happen?
  23. Danchat
    I'd be fine with Bourjos as a CF for just one season. He's got great speed and superb defensive skills, if he's healthy, that is. We have to put somebody out there in CF not named Aaron Hicks, and Bourjos is one of our few options (not named Danny Santana). Maybe he could do a big turnabout at the plate like Suzuki and Schafer...? (Probably not, but hey, who knows.)
  24. Danchat
    I would have taken the QO. 1 year $15M > 2 Years $21M at least in my opinion.
  25. Danchat
    For the people saying the coaching search was "a joke" or it was "fixed interviews"... I sincerely doubt they would have flown to California to interview Lovullo as "a joke". The Twins clearly took a glimpse at some of the coaching options out there. They just ended up liking Molitor more than any of the other options. I'm fine with Molitor as the manager, and I think Lovullo would have been just as good. I'm intrigued to see how things will work with a new leader in the clubhouse.
