    I think giving Royce opportunities to play other positions at the AAA level to see how he does is a great idea, to see how he will fit on the big club going forward.
  2. rwilfong86
    I think the one of the main issues with moving Gio to another spot is he has been playing gold glove level defense at 3rd.

    The 6th and 8th innings are an example of what I'm talking about, Twins led 2-1 and Arraez walked then came around to score to make it 3-1. Twins add another to make it 4-1. The Royals scored in the bottom of the 7th to make it 4-2, in the 8th Arraez again walked, moved to second on a single, to third on a fielders choice then scored on a wild pitch to make it 5-2 and the game was over then, top of the 9th comes and Twins score 4 more to blow it open. It was a thing of beauty.

    Buxton may be the best player on the Twins, but by the end of the season Arraez may be the most valuable. The game Saturday night Arraez completely took over, getting on base via hits and walks, driving in runs and scoring runs. He was a wrecking ball. It seemed like every time the Royals had momentum Arraez would come up the next half inning and do something to swing it back to the Twins. When he scored on that wild pitch in the 8th to make it 5-2 the Royals and their fans knew the game was over.

    That one at-bat is really a justification for the robo umps.

    Gaining as much ground in the division in the next 2 weeks will be huge for when their schedule gets more difficult. They need every one of these wins right now. I'm actually been rooting for the Yankees to beat Chicago ? and that goes against every fiber of my being.

    I live in Atchison, about an hour north on the Kansas side.

    Agreed about Sano, no surprise the team is playing so well in his absence. Also agree about Jorge Lopez, he would be a great back end reliever. Arraez has made some pretty sweet picks at first base on semi-errant throws from the left side of the infield but people don't seem to realize that.

    You would be surprised how many Twins fan live in the KC area, me included. The section I sat in last night behind the visitors dugout was full of Twins fans.

    My wife is a childhood friend of Jorge Lopez and we've followed his career for several years, I would be thrilled to see him in a Twins jersey.
  11. rwilfong86
    Having a lefty in the rotation was nice.... for the 2 games it lasted. I have a feeling the leash on guys like Archer and Bundy will shorten so Smeltzer may be back in the rotation pretty quickly if he keeps pitching well in St. Paul.
  12. rwilfong86
    That is a big "If" and this is his second TJ surgery so I wouldn't call the trade a win in any scenario, unless the third player they received Brayan Medina turns into the next Johan Santana. Pagan is a shaky reliever at best and losing Paddack makes this a big L.
  13. rwilfong86
    Maybe that will be the hit that will spark him breaking out.
  14. rwilfong86
    Gold Glove caliber D at 3rd.
  15. rwilfong86
    The question is who do they trade and for what? They've got so many pieces contributing right now and the return has to be better than what they got from the Rogers deal.
  16. rwilfong86
    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.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. rwilfong86
    It seemed like every possible bounce went against the Twins last season and this year they're getting those bounces. Hopefully that continues.
  20. rwilfong86
    Looked good again tonight.
  21. 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 ?
  22. rwilfong86
    Not the case, I just think these types of satire aren't that funny. Thanks for playing, try again.
  23. rwilfong86
    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.
  24. 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.
  25. rwilfong86
    As long as they don't have to give up too much, that wouldn't be a bad trade to make.
