    Heyman said the Twins offered 285/10. Theoretically competitive, but realistically had no shot. I personally wouldnt have given Correa 13 years, but I would have offered him 315/10.

    I didn’t know Duran threw a sprinkler.

    If I’m the FO I’m signing Eovaldi. He’s also had some injury concerns but our depth is pretty good at the moment. He’s got major upside, and I think the Twins can coax some of his velocity back to regain his #1-2 starter potential. He shouldn’t break the bank either.

    Lewis needs regular playing time. This probably gets him 3 starts a week, which just isn’t enough for him
  16. RedneckRay
    Is this sarcastic I hope? Lewis has been so hyped up, came up and delivered in his first stint, and you want to start Gordon over him? He will not be an OFer for his full career, even though he has the skill set to do so. You don’t keep a guy that has shown he is capable of producing in the MLB in AAA on a team with a overall subpar offense. Correa obviously isn’t getting bumped off SS, Urshela has played platinum glove D at 3rd, and there’s not enough consistent starts at 2B. This leaves the Twins to play him in the outfield. It definitely won’t cause his career to be “ruined,” as you claim.

    I’d put Kepler #1 here. As good as Buxton has been, the resurgence of Kep has been absolutely outstanding, and in my mind, a big reason the Twins are where they are in the standings.

    In my opinion, there is nothing Upton does better than Garlick. Garlick stepped in in CF when Buxton was hurt and while it wasn't great, it wasn't terrible either. Garlick is slightly above average playing corner OF, and demolishes lefties. Upton is below average everywhere, and while I know he is a bench player at this point, I still would prefer that we pass on him. On a different note, Garlick would've been nice to have up for this Dodgers to see if he could crack Heaney or Kersh.

    I like Gary Sanchez and Gio Urshelas walk up songs. You also missed Dylan Bundy with his Colt Ford!

    This gave me flashbacks to last years first two weeks. Heartbreaking loss, especially after getting all fired up about Buck. Duffey shouldn’t be closing ballgames for us and that’s that. He has shown he is a good set up guy, and he should stay in that role. To me, early on I want to Alcala and Pagan closing, and if Duran has a couple more good outings start working him in there as well. Hopefully Rocco learns from today. Starting off 0-2 is not great, but forget about it and end off the series at 500.

    This is spot on. It would look great with the addition of a true #1. I really think the Twins have to make a trade to get an ace, especially because this front office saw how things went last year.
  22. RedneckRay
    I’ve been saying this since last year when they claimed him. Good hard fastball with a good slider, just needs a little better control.
  23. RedneckRay
    I’ve been saying this exact thing from day one of the off-season. I don’t care if Montas is more expensive, he’s our guy over Manaea. As for Trevor Story, lock him up long term. Question marks surrounded Lewis before the injury, so I really don’t think he’s our future SS. I don’t know that I would be eager to trade him either though, because it seems like his value is at an all-time low. The other option, and honestly what I think is more likely is that we don’t sign Story, and acquire Montas and Andrus, with Andrus being our SS. You could always send cash in the deal, and skip out on Andrus all together. There’s lots of different routes the Twins could take, but judging by the rest of the off-season I think they still have a few tricks up their sleeve.

    Here you go (In my mind Donaldson takes majority of DH ABs, Arraez starts at 3rd) LF- Resign Garlick to platoon with Larnach RF- Kiriloff/Larnach SS- As much as I hate to say it, Simmons 1B- Sano Backup C- Rordtvedt as #3, try Garver/Jeffers platoon again Backup IF/OF #1- Garlick Backup IF/OF #2- Gordon
  25. RedneckRay
    I really like signing Kevin Pillar. He’s not gonna produce a lot at the plate, but most outfield backups don’t. What he will give you is an amazing glove at all 3 positions, good speed on the base paths, and a lot of heart. The dude gives 110% every time he’s out there, and I think he’s a good veteran presence to have alongside Buxton for Larnach and Kiriloff.

    Adam Wainright was very good last year, and signed an extension in 2021. I agree with the rest of the pitchers though.
