    One 63 year old mans opinion. JD is a fine hitter but I cringed watching him run last year. Every routine double turned into a bang bang play because of his jogging to avoid a leg injury. His defense also suffered from the effort he put forth to avoid injury. He was overpaid in his current capacity. The Yankee trade appears to be a dump of JD for a dump of an over the hill catcher at less than 1/2 of JD's salary so the Twins had to add useful players to make it work. Nobody knows how he fit into the clubhouse but watching him showoff (sticky stuff) after he hit a homer with the Twins down 6 runs says enough for me. I wondered how he was going to fit in with the loosy goosy Bomba Squad after they signed him. I remember him chastising Arraez for moving while on 2nd base and he was at the plate. This trade sure looks like a big win in 2022 and beyond for the Yankees. If it is it's because of the mistake made 2 years earlier by signing JD for too much money. If Rortvedt isn't involved, I say the trade was even. If the Twins got a lottery ticket in return, I'd say it was an even trade. But not to be. Like the saying goes, beware what you wish for, you just might get it. For months I was wishing the Twins would do something, but this seems like they're going backwards.

    I wouldn't draft him in the first round. Flunked his Mets physical, won't disclose medicals, didn't pitch for his college team as a senior even though he was eligible, Boras for an agent. This is a recipe for an ulcer. And a drafted player who 'suddenly' has arm trouble after signing the $6M bonus. Second round flyer at the soonest draft position.

    Has anyone checked to see if the Bad Luck Cloud that has hung over Target Center for decades has drifted over Target Field? I'd swear Lewis and his bad luck was part of the Timberwolves organization.

    Seeing that starting rotation in writing makes me wince. Young guys with more potential than experience is fine but not 4 out of 5 starters. The bullpen is fine until it needs to pitch 5 innings a day for weeks on end. I know the game has changed since the emphasis on metrics but this Twins team is way short on pitching and defense. The two fundamentals that don't go into slumps.

    I hope Tori Hunter helps Lewis as much as he helped Buxton. If Lewis can hit big league pitching I say let him play short and show his stuff. No matter what the Twins brass is saying I don't see them competing for the top spot in the division nor do they have a pitching staff geared for a championship run.
