    Because Jimmy Dugan said so.

    Not clean up either and Rocco slots him there too often.

    Let me get this answer out of the way--YES

    Curious -what's Correa's contract agreement? Is it three years and can be extended six more or is it six years and can be extended three more? Or is something completely different?

    I see the Yankees DFA'd Willie Calhoun. He is now a free agent. The Twins should be all over this. You can't have enough left handed hitting corner outfielders.

    Just a scheduled day off for AK, or is he banged up too?

    Sano reunion?

    I'll be 69 later this year and still feel 40ish. Retired January 1, 2023.

    I think Jax is been overused.

    I am wondering if Correa and Boras are asking too much or if the offers are lower than anticipated? He may have to settle for another contract similar to last year's. Twins should be offering two year $40million/year with an opt out after one. Contract should not include a no trade clause. Twins trade Correa at the deadline and offer to split the remaining amount due for 2023 ($6.667/million) as an incentive for the Yankees or Giants to take him. Correa gets his money, possibly goes to WS and can be a FA again when there should be fewer Shortstops available and he still is only 29. Hopefully Lewis (or Lee) is ready by this time. I realize this is an expensive bridge to the future.

    I always got Don Moss or Clay Dalrymple.

    I like this alignment but would move San Diego to the west and Oakland (Las Vegas) to the southwest. I would try to keep the two Chicago teams together but St Louis and the Cubs have a longstanding rivalry so keeping them together would be optimal. Midwest Division. Cubs, Sox, Cards, Pirates and Guardians. North Division, Twins, Brewers,, Tigers, Jays and Royals. Could swap Royals and Guardians. A lot of Jay fans come to Target Field when Toronto is in town.

    I think Gordon's career will resemble Danny Santana's. A player in search of a position. We still have Royce Lewis in the mix.

    if Gardenhire leaves in a cordial fashion, i.e., retires so he can stay with the organization-- I would not be surprised if the Twins selected Scott Ulger or Terry Steinbach just because it sounds like something they would do. Not that it would please me.

    Brad Berreman over at Rant Sports suggests the Twins could get Jair Jurrjens from Atlanta for Benson. If that's the case I would jump on it. Jurrjens is worth a gamble and the Twins have many outfielders in the minor leagues that have passed Joe Benson on the prospect chart. Although Jurrjens may be a non tender candidate then a trade wouldn't be necessary.

    "pitchers jailed for murder in their home country" It was only attempted murder. You should have included UUU-- just for his initials if nothing else.

    Major league baseball players have to be confident to be successful. When they struggle-- that confidence may appear to be arrogance. I don't think Plouffe shows any more arrogance than other players. You can never tell about injuries, but it does seem the Twins have more than their share of lingering ones.
