    Great post. Thanks for sharing. I agree the Rogers trade looks like a L and could be one of the worst trades the Twins have made in recent memory.
  2. rwilfong86
    Pagan will get lit up like a Christmas tree. Honestly I think they have 3 or 4 relievers that will get crushed against better hitting teams.
  3. rwilfong86
    They're kind of in a bad spot because Duran has the stuff to be a closer, but more often than not they need him to put out fires before the 9th. But I think Pagan as a closer is flirting with danger when they play better teams in a couple weeks.

    It seemed like every possible bounce went against the Twins last season and this year they're getting those bounces. Hopefully that continues.
  5. rwilfong86
    Looked good again tonight.
  6. rwilfong86
    The next 15 games will be the challenge, each one of these games should be winnable. If they can go 10-5 or 11-4 that will be a huge boost going into early June. If they can distance themselves a little bit going into the series against the AL east that will be another big boost. And hopefully the White Sox will keep losing ?

    Not the case, I just think these types of satire aren't that funny. Thanks for playing, try again.

    The title of this article is misleading, it should be "Twins Fans Absolutely Furious at Poor Management Decisions". No one is angry about being in first place.
  9. rwilfong86
    Hopefully on days when they're either scoring a lot of runs early or getting shellacked early they can get him out of the game and give him additional rest. 125-140 sounds reasonable.
  10. rwilfong86
    As long as they don't have to give up too much, that wouldn't be a bad trade to make.
  11. rwilfong86
    Bahaha you're correct!
  12. rwilfong86
    My fear is they'll trade some of their core players for a pitcher and that pitcher will bomb and set the team back for several years.
  13. rwilfong86
    Agreed. Arraez is a spark plug at the top of the order and gets on base, for the Twins not to put him in the lineup is crazy.
  14. rwilfong86
    And that's what they mentioned on the broadcast today, letting him learn another position(s) at the AAA level.
  15. rwilfong86
    Understand, unless they give Larnach time at first in his rehab stint.
  16. rwilfong86
    That may be possible, they could end up asking Larnach to try to play some first base, who knows? The thought of Miranda on this roster and in the lineup when I go to the game in Kansas City Saturday after seeing Royce hit that grand slam in person last Friday at Target Field makes me wanna vomit. ?
  17. rwilfong86
    Last year they played guys in completely different positions due to necessity, they had pretty run out of outfielders so that's why guys like Refsnyder and Gordon who were infielders received a lot of time in the Outfield. That isn't how you want players to learn, but in a lost season where they were out of it by June 1, they didn't have anytime to lose.
  18. rwilfong86
    Again, their issue, as Dick and LaTroy mentioned on the broadcast today, is they don't want Royce to learn a new position at the Major League level.
  19. rwilfong86
    Or play Urshela at first and platoon him there with Arraez,
  20. rwilfong86
    With the way the Twins have been hammered with injuries, he may be back by next week so it's not an "nonspecific fact that ignores all context". He got his first opportunity due to injury so it isn't unfathomable that will be the reason for the next. Their issue, as they mentioned on the broadcast today, is they don't want Royce to learn a new position at the Major League level. So if they gave him a week or two playing 3rd (or somewhere else) he will have a little more experience for the next call up.
  21. rwilfong86
    Sometimes players coming off the IL are as impactful as a trade. Let's hope that's the case with some of these guys coming back in the next week or so.
  22. rwilfong86
    With the way the team has been fighting injuries, I will guess someone else will go down before the end of the month and he will be back. Although I think Miranda should have been sent down instead of Lewis.
  23. rwilfong86
    First base is kind of the hole right now, Sano isn't a great long term option, Kirilloff has his struggles, Miranda is still learning and has his own struggles and should be sent down to St. Paul. If I am the Twins I get Royce some action at 3rd and consider playing Urshela at 1st (which is painful to say because his defense has been so good at 3rd so far this year.)
  24. rwilfong86
    Royce will be back sooner rather than later.
  25. rwilfong86
    They could throw in another top 15 prospect as well, Miranda was #3 and Sands #14 going into the season.
