    That is the one place we missed Joe Mauer. He was an excellent defensive first baseman. Sano and Polanco's throwing errors both increased this year. Did they both get worse or was our 1B defense worse. I think it was the latter. Don't think we can play Sano at third and Cron at first and think we will have an average infield defense. We are best defensively with Adrianza at shortstop.

    I would leave Perez on the roster and use as a loogy. Leave off either Smeltzer or Thorpe. Otherwise I think you nailed it
  3. Otwins
    I agree on game one also. We need two starts from our best starter. I think just about anyone will give up an extra home run per game while pitching in New York

    There was only one solid hit. The other three were soft contact. His pitches had good movement and more importantly he was hitting the catcher's target. That has been a big problem for him lately. I would give him two more two inning relief appearances and then decide his playoff roster fate. Multi inning relievers are a must in the playoffs. He might be able to fill that role.

    Buxton for me. His defense is top of the league valuable. Not sure Sano has a skill that will lead the league. Maybe home runs some year. Both are very valuable IF they can stay healthy

    Outstanding preview. You don't find this anywhere else. Thanks

    Any reason given on the change to Railey going to the AFL? I was looking forward to Kirilloff playing.

    Thanks for the great coverage of the minor leagues. These are my favorite articles on my favorite web site

    Everyone's throwing errors are up. Maybe Mauer is missed at 1B. He was an excellent defensive 1st baseman. Cron is not. Hope I never see Adrianza there again

    Not to pile on Eddie because he is one of my favorite players but not only has it affected his fielding and base running but also his hitting. He is not hitting for as much power as he was. I thought he made it 5-0 when he pulled that ball today but it hit the limestone and even after Soler fumbled the ball Eddie was not at second base. He has hit three balls off the wall this week that I think would have been home runs earlier in the year. I am wondering like LA Vikes Fan also. Ankle is worse than a sprain.
  11. Otwins
    Seems like Cron would be close to returning if he is hitting Home runs in his rehab. Any one know his timeline?
  12. Otwins
    Any chance they can trade Schoop by Wednesday? If someone gets hurt we can call up Gordon.
  13. Otwins
    Any chance Alcala can help in the bullpen by September?
  14. Otwins
    I think that the prospect cost would be about nothing if the Twins pick up most of Kennedy's contract. They are in a better position than most contenders for this type of deal as several have luxury tax or payroll limit concerns. I prefer this to a prospect bidding war unless you are going for Syndegaard or Stroman. I also like the Givens and/or Bundy idea. Both could pitch better out of Baltimore and the prospect cost should not hurt too much.
  15. Otwins
    Trade for Carlos Martinez. He could help in the bullpen this year and stretch out in spring training for next year as a starter
  16. Otwins
    Thanks for the research. I only saw Colina pitch two innings in spring training but I would not trade him. I would try some combination of two of Stewart, Gonsalves, Gordon, Larnach
  17. Otwins
    I feel the same way about Larnach. A left handed hitting corner OF is behind Rosario and Kepler for the next few years.
  18. Otwins
    Other Surprises- Schoop has an excellent throwing arm- Martin Perez - Has been a solid rotation piece Jorge Polanco - STARTING ALL-STAR shorstop
  19. Otwins
    Kennedy IMHO is the best fit as I assume the Royals would eat some payroll. The Royals will not be contending by 2020 so if they can save half that payroll money and pick up a middling prospect this deal could get done. It makes sense from the Twins side by adding needed bullpen help without having to part with a top 20 prospect.
  20. Otwins
    WIll Buxton be back? He makes a big difference. Not sure I want to watch Astudillo in RF again.
  21. Otwins
    Before you guys fire Baldelli you may want to re-listen to the post game show. Polanco bunted on his own. It was not called from the bench
  22. Otwins
    I would not be suprised if the White Sox buy at the trade deadline. They might pursue the second wild card spot and consider that a big step forward.
  23. Otwins
    I like the way you think. The only part I question is the middle of the order bat. Rocco has batted him mostly6th-7th and I think that is perfect. Getting run production from the lower part of the order is a nice position to be in.
  24. Otwins
    I think they need to improve the depth of the bullpen besides the back end. I could see a Hunter Strickland pick up if he looks good when he returns. Seattle is in sell mode and he would not cost much
  25. Otwins
    I think they will try several internal options. Why not Randy Dobnak? I think I would leave Smeltzer as a starter. We will need a starter again at some point and he looks much better than Kohl Stewart to me. I would try Stewart in the pen
