    Ranked #17 in the AL in 2022 and 2nd on the Twins behind Correa. http://stats.washingtonpost.com/mlb/getleaders.asp?rank=039

    The 2019 team had multiple guys with career years. This could be a first to third place team. I would still pick Cleveland/Chicago as the favorites.
  3. rwilfong86
    I am wondering who will be the leadoff, get on base guy for Buxton and Correa to hit behind. I'm not seeing a great answer at this moment.
  4. rwilfong86
    He also makes way too many mistakes in the field as well. Keep him in AAA to try to develop then reevaluate him with a full season in St. Paul under his belt.
  5. rwilfong86
    The proof of the pudding is in the eating. My biggest question is who will be hitting leadoff since Arraez held that spot so well last season.
  6. rwilfong86
    Nice article, we'll miss the long at-bats and battles, hopefully Lopez will become Johan Santana 2.0. (We can hope, right?)
  7. rwilfong86
    Lopez looks like he will be a good clubhouse guy and if he can be a #2 guy behind Gray I think this will turn out well. I hated the trade at first, but as the days go by, I am warming up to it.
  8. rwilfong86
    Good glove; bat, eh not so much. He's pretty speedy in center, I've seen him play with the Royals a number of times at Kauffman the past couple years.
  9. rwilfong86
    Good glove, not a great hitter.
  10. rwilfong86
    I would hope if they trade someone like Kepler it would be for bullpen depth.
  11. rwilfong86
    I'm curious to see if SWR and Balazovic see any time in the Majors this season. I'm guessing if they do something went terribly wrong.
  12. rwilfong86
    I think you are absolutely correct. I think Miranda is keeping 3b warm right now until Lee slides in in 2024.
  13. rwilfong86
    Last season they threw him in to put out fires regardless of inning, I would like to see them make him the closer and use Lopez and Alcala and possibly Jax as the set up men. All 3 of those guys can hit upper 90s.
  14. rwilfong86
    I'm trying to see the positives in this trade but I have this nagging feeling about the rallies as well. Trading your leadoff hitter opens a huge hole in my opinion and they don't have a great option to plug into that hole.
  15. rwilfong86
    I wanna get a Miranda jersey but as soon as I get one with 64 he will change it because that's how my luck goes
  16. rwilfong86
    Well said 😅
  17. rwilfong86
    I like what he showed last season, he hit everywhere he played.
  18. rwilfong86
    Wallner or Larnach would be my early guess.
  19. rwilfong86
    Which side of the field were the majority of the ground balls hit last season?
  20. rwilfong86
    His defense is actually not terrible, for a player who has played multiple positions. He didn't commit a single error at 1st last season and was a Gold Glove finalist. I find the defensive liability argument to be weak.
  21. rwilfong86
    I agree with you, Arraez has been serviceable wherever he has played defensively and was a Gold Glove finalist after not playing 1st since he was a teenager in the Dominican League.
  22. rwilfong86
    He was shifted 2% of his plate appearances, with his spray chart I'm surprised teams didn't shift him more to the right side. Probably good that now they can't shift him due to the rule change.
  23. rwilfong86
    I agree, I think by the end of 2023 we will have a good idea who will win this trade. If Lopez goes something 15-7 with a 3.5 ERA and the Twins are in the race into September I will say the Twins win regardless of what Arraez does in Miami.
  24. rwilfong86
    I would say their rotation is full of #3 starters at best which is the take I've given on other posts here on this and other treads.
  25. rwilfong86
    Download Patreon and listen to the "Gleeman and the Geek" podcast episode from Friday. It will be the best $1 you spend all week. The Twins were the 3rd best team in the division before the trade, and are still the 3rd place team in the division after the trade. The 2 better teams in the division, have rotations with #1 and #2 starters. Could Lopez be a #1 or #2 starter? Or Joe Ryan or Sonny Gray? It is possible but highly improbable. On a contending team, the best of the Twins starters would be #3 or lower. The Marlins were probably the worst team in the NL East and are now the second worse team in the division lol which for their fans it's worth celebrating.
