    Except I was waiting for the prices on the new stuff to go down before I did. I planned to buy one after last season but once I heard about the rebrand I decided to hold off. Now I am glad I did.

    Do you remember Rod Carew by any chance? That worked our pretty well for the Twins.

    Rogers was garbage for the Twins, I think had the Twins kept him, they would have had similar bullpen meltdowns as they experienced with Duffey and Pagan. My issue with this trade is Lopez is not an Ace. He is another #3 starter. If your team is full of #3 starters, you're probably not gonna see the postseason. He is better than Bundy and Archer yes, but I don't think he was worth dealing the reigning batting champ for.
  4. rwilfong86
    I feel the exact way. This front office hasn't been very good at making trades for pitchers so I have this sinking feeling it will be another fleece job.
  5. rwilfong86
    From everything I've seen Lopez is another #3 level starter. He isn't Alcantara or an ace. Prospects are prospects and equal no guarantee of any success. I disagree that the Twins come away better from this trade, but only time will tell.
  6. rwilfong86
    Yep this is a loss. An average pitcher for the batting champion and fan favorite. At least I didn't get an Arraez jersey yet. Oh well.
  7. rwilfong86
    I hope he starts the season in Wichita so I can go see him play in May.

    Absolutely agree. It was nauseating last season seeing guys thrown out at home by a mile because they were sent by Tommy Watkins.
  10. rwilfong86
    With this current front office and management, I can't see any top free agent pitchers ever coming as free agents. Their only hope are trades and development.

    Shayla and 1000 other people bought the jerseys and shirts because they were cheap. It has nothing to do with intelligence. I picked up an Eddie Rosario jersey and t shirt for like $20 each after the 2020 season. It's pure coincidence Correa resigned after agreeing to 2 other contracts.

    The Twins medical staff was aware of it last year and were able to convince ownership that it wasn't as big of an issue as it was made out to be since he has never had an issue with it, and ultimately I think for teams like the Mets and Giants the risk didn't outweigh the reward or they were given advice to lowball thinking no one else would come close and the Twins beat their lowball offer.
  13. rwilfong86
    Upside is he could boost the rotation but he could also kill team chemistry. Not worth the risk.
  14. rwilfong86
    What to make of it? Nothing. It is an 8 year old injury that everyone knew about and other than one incident sliding into 2nd it's never caused him any issue in the majors.
  15. rwilfong86
    Possible, but unlikely and I see 90-100 losses coming.
  16. rwilfong86
    I would love to see a philosophy change: less reliance on the home run and more emphasis on small ball, making contact, using speed and bunts and stolen bases. I can't imagine that happening with current management though.
  17. rwilfong86
    Yep he seemed to do it at the worst possible times though last season.
  18. rwilfong86
    Preferably not commit so many horrible base running blunders and stop admiring his hits and hustle out of the box would be great start.
  19. rwilfong86
    Aging mediocre sluggers don't turn it around anymore, steroids are illegal now?
  20. rwilfong86
    All Star selections are purely popularity contests as are Gold Gloves. But yes, keep convincing yourself this was a good deal.
  21. rwilfong86
    Your point is literally the only thing I can find solace in at this point in the offseason. They win=great. They lose and front office and management is gone=great..

    If someone cherry picks stats they can even make Joey Gallo look like a good move.
  24. rwilfong86
    Gallo is proven? Proven what? He has career .199 average and strikes out about 30% of the time. The Twins also have guys like Wallner, Celestino, and even Nick Gordon who can play outfield.
  25. rwilfong86
    I would literally rather see any other outfielder in the system get the at bats than Joey Gallo.
