  1. Absolutely agree. It was nauseating last season seeing guys thrown out at home by a mile because they were sent by Tommy Watkins.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Upside is he could boost the rotation but he could also kill team chemistry. Not worth the risk.
  6. 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.
  7. Possible, but unlikely and I see 90-100 losses coming.
  8. 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.
  9. Yep he seemed to do it at the worst possible times though last season.
  10. Preferably not commit so many horrible base running blunders and stop admiring his hits and hustle out of the box would be great start.
  11. Aging mediocre sluggers don't turn it around anymore, steroids are illegal now?
  12. All Star selections are purely popularity contests as are Gold Gloves. But yes, keep convincing yourself this was a good deal.
  13. 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..
  14. If someone cherry picks stats they can even make Joey Gallo look like a good move.
  15. 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.
  16. I would literally rather see any other outfielder in the system get the at bats than Joey Gallo.
  17. Umm 2nd best is a definite stretch. With the changes to the shift I would still consider Kepler to be better at this point.
  18. They needed a right handed bat that's better than Garlick so they sign another lefty who can't hit and strikes out at a high percentage. Makes perfect sense. Typical Twins move.
  19. Glad it's over, time to see what else is out there and move forward.
  20. I'm more interested in his ability to throw out runners with the rules adjustments to increase base-stealing.
  21. I'm planning to go to one of the opening weekend games in KC, hopefully the weather isn't too cold and miserable! At Kauffman I prefer to sit on the third base line behind the visitors dugout or behind the plate in one of the upper sections to get a good view.
  22. Would love to come but live too far away unfortunately. That pint glass is pretty cool though.
  23. The Twins are gonna end up with nothing. This offseason isn't going well at all.
