  1. I think you are unfortunately correct.
  2. He'd be more useful in relief i think.
  3. Royals look like they might pull away.
  4. I think the losing probably had a deep impact on guys like Cruz and Donaldson, and Berríos knew he was gonna be gone once his contract was over, so moving on from those 3 was huge, and the return on their deals has been a primary factor in the success this season.
  5. Where do you get contact info for getting autographs?
  6. He is no Trevor Bauer but also no Joe Mauer ?
  7. It depends on if they get the 2019-2020 version or the 2021 version. That being said a guy who can pitch more than one inning may be big down the stretch if their rotation can't get through more than 4 innings.
  8. Celestino is a great choice, thanks for making that suggestion, that would have been a great option to add as well.
  9. I think you're exactly right with "players and personalities just don't blend."
  10. Sanchez has been solid, and with the issues the Yankees are having with Donaldson and now with him being out and Rortvedts injury it seems more and more the Twins are gonna end up winning that trade.
  11. See original post above for my exact statement, "one of the worst" and "in recent memory".
  12. Agree with you, using him to get Urshela and Sanchez was a huge win regardless of how we perceive his tenure to be.
  13. What has been the biggest surprise at this point of the 2022 season?
  14. I'd take Urshela over a diva like Donaldson any day. He may not be as good offensively but he is a gold glove defender and has come up clutch several times this year.
  15. If i recall correctly the 2019 team didn't have an issue hitting, it was pitching e.g. Randy Dobnak was a playoff starter. They would have been better inclined spending the money on pitching. Donaldson played well at times but was also injured most of his first season with the Twins and never seemed like his legs recovered for the second year. Watching him try to run to first was painful to watch. I gave him the nickname "Double Play Donaldson" for his propensity to hit into a rally killing double play. You are entitled to your opinion, but the Twins would have been better served using the money for the Donaldson contract for pitching help they desperately needed after 2019 rather than a washed up diva like Donaldson. My fondest memory of JD is him hitting a honerun and getting ejected for kicking dirt on the plate. What a great teammate!
  16. Between injuries, lack of production, expectations and his overall hit to team chemistry (which I've heard was the opposite of being a good clubhouse guy) he earns my vote as being one of the worst signings in recent memory.
  17. Gary decided to show up tonight
  18. Baseball is funny that way isn't it?
  19. Nick Gordon pitches an inning or 2?
