    Mahle is one to watch closely. He supposedly just had "inflammation" in his shoulder last season. Well, Frankie Montas also had inflammation in his shoulder and was shut down last season. The Yankees just announced that Montas is going under the knife next week for shoulder surgery. No word yet as to exactly what the surgery is. Let's hope Mahle doesn't have the same result. Aside from that, Kirilloff's wrist is also a big concern, and of course we'll need to keep an eye on Buxton too.

    Saw a report from Doogie this morning, that the Twins are interested in Brad Hand. He wouldn't be too bad of an addition to the pen.

    Has anyone seen, or heard, anything about his shoulder? I don't recall seeing anything. For that matter, all I can remember reading, is that he was dealing with "inflammation". That's what the story was last season. If he's healthy, he could be a real big boost to the rotation.

    If they somehow use Pagan in anything other than mop up roles, in blow out games...then something is really wrong with whatever the master plan is.
  5. CRF
    Sure hope he can come back at 100%, or as close as possible. We really could use him in the lineup. Didn't realize he had such an injury history.
  6. CRF
    Both of these guys will be extremely valuable.
  7. CRF
    Sure would be nice if he was finally healthy and we could see what he's capable of.

    In the traditional baseball sense...he's not an "ace". We don't have an "ace". We haven't had a pitcher that even remotely qualifies as an "ace", since Johan Santana was here.

    Sano is supposedly doing his workout showcase today down in Tampa. I'm sure we'll see something about how it went in the next day or two. If I was going to make a bet on either Sano or Vargas making it to a big league club, I'd pick Sano. I just hope it isn't with us.

    I'm in the camp that thinks Miranda is probably better suited to be at 1st, but time will tell. I also honestly don't believe Kirilloff will be able to recover from his wrist injury, and I hope I'm wrong. Miranda's certainly no Gio when he plays 3rd, but he'll improve with more experience. I'm sure we'll have to put up with some errors, but C4 will cover for some of Miranda's inexperience.

    I think one of the biggest keys to this, is that the infielders HAVE to play on the infield. No more 2nd or 3rd baseman playing in short RF. I'm sure that a SS will get as close to 2nd base as he can at times, but there still has to be two infielders on either side of 2nd base, on the infield. Can't wait to see these changes, and the others, in actual game situations. Should be very interesting.

    Tough to answer this question right now. We've got a lot of arms/bodies, and if they're all healthy for the most part, we've maybe got something decent going on depth-wise. I think everyone probably agrees that Cleveland's starters are probably better overall. Especially Bieber and McKenzie. We'll know more about our guys once the season gets under way. If we can dodge the injury bullet, I like our chances.
  13. CRF
    Not overly interested in any of those guys. Maybe Moore, but that would be it.
  14. CRF
    Something has to happen with Kep, or one of the other OF's. We have too many left handed hitting OF's. It kind of looks like our FO believes that Kep's trade value is worth more than potential interested teams do, and are asking too much for him. Still time to make moves. Waiting until the deadline is too late. They need to do something before the season starts.

    I'm old and old school...I do Baseball Reference.
  16. CRF
    Never particularly liked the guy as a player, and I don't think signing him was necessarily a smart move, but if he can put 40 balls over the RF overhang and drive in 90+...well, I guess I can live with that and the low .200's avg.
  17. CRF
    Just a wonderful Twins tradition!
  18. CRF
    I'm a little surprised Fulmer is still out there, but I don't necessarily want him back. If he was so desirable, someone would have signed him by now. I'm guessing that our FO doesn't want him.
  19. CRF
    Celestino definitely needs more time in the minors. He was absolutely not ready to be in the bigs last year. He was overmatched at the plate, on the field, and mentally. He's only 23. Maybe he figures it out and makes it, maybe he doesn't, but he shouldn't be with the Twins right now.
  20. CRF
    Polanco. Buck isn't a lead off hitter, and never was. If they put Gallo at the 1 spot, I'll rip up my tickets.
  21. CRF
    Sorry...you lost me at "master class trade".
  22. CRF
    Mauer the catcher is HOF worthy. Mauer the 1st baseman isn't. Obviously, the injuries dictated that. He'll eventually get in, but not the first time.
  23. CRF
    Just saw the the fish are supposedly backing off going after Gurriel, after trading for Arraez. I hope this doesn't mean that we're going to go after him. There's no reason for us to be in on Gurriel at all.
  24. CRF
    I wish him the best, but I won't miss him. Not enough velo to make it work. When he was hitting his spots, he was average at best...when he wasn't, he got lit up pretty good.
  25. CRF
    I never liked Buck as the leadoff hitter. He's just not the right guy for that, even though the Twins seem to think he is. I'd bet anything he starts the year at the #1 spot. I'd go Polanco rather than Buxton. The truth is, they don't really have a good leadoff hitter. Please don't use C4 or any of the other guys at the #1 spot.
