  1. 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.
  2. Like that great old Happenings song lyrics..."See you, in September...see you, when the summers through" .
  3. Don't try and "make" him into anything. Imo...he's better than anyone we have in the rotation right now. Good FB and a very good change. Decent complimentary pitches too. First off...I don't think we have the pitching coach(es) to even start to change what a particular pitcher is doing. Second...he wasn't doing too badly for the fish, with what he's already doing. If he's healthy and stays healthy, he'll be a good addition to the staff.
  4. I'll take Taylor over Celestino any day of the week. That's a huge upgrade. There has to be more moves coming though.
  5. I hope not. There's no need for Gurriel here.
  6. I don't know if either of them has "anything left", as long as they're not trying to find out if they do, while wearing a Twins uni.
  7. Just read that according to their GM, the fish plan to play Arraez at 2nd and move Jazz Chisholm to CF.
  8. Can't say I'm thrilled. I don't think I trust our FO when it comes to trading for pitchers. I hope it works out. Seems to me, we could've gotten more in return from them with adding some additional pieces. Maybe one of the other starters? Anyway, I'll miss Arraez, he was a lot of fun to watch. I wouldn't be surprised if 10 years down the road, he's got a handful of batting titles. I know that's not a particularly valued stat any more, but he's a very good hitter and the power numbers will get better too. Best of luck to him.
  9. "My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives". - Hedley Lamarr. Nah...keep him down at Rock Ridge!
  10. I'll have to respectfully disagree. The perfect "puppet" manager would be more accurate.
  11. You da man, Brock! Much appreciated!
  12. I guess we'll get to see if trading for him was a good move. I hope so. The 2nd TJ is a big concern, but there's a lot of potential there.
  13. Can't fault him at all for doing that. More power to him and hope it works out.
  14. No problem with that trade.
  15. Unfortunately, I think he's just about done, and I didn't want him back here now, but LOVED him when he played for us. Great guy in the clubhouse. He'd make a good coach, if he decides on that direction.
  16. I happened to see this today. Info on the new Target Field video board. It's supposed to be done before the home opener: https://ballparkdigest.com/2023/01/11/new-twins-videoboard-design-unveiled/?src=rss Looks pretty nice! I wonder what kind of effect it could have on the wind, if at all? What do you guys/gals think?
  17. I always liked his taco shells and salsa.
  18. They didn't really bring back Hedley LaMarr...did they?
  19. Package of Garlick and Pagan to anyone who would want them.
  20. Ladies and gentlemen, we got him...back, that is. CC passed the physical this morning...what a shocker! There's an 11:30 presser today to announce all of the details. Let's go!!!
  21. Barring injuries, I can see this team winning the central. If the pitchers start going down with owies, then all bets are off. Hopefully, we make a few more deals. I'd love to see Pagan gone, and probably Kep too. Can't wait till the season starts!
  22. It's a nothing burger move. Why do it? C'mon, I'm sure that someone else has thought of making this guy a fastball/slider pitcher. Looks like a probable DFA down the road to me.
