  1. I think the problem with his bat is if he is needed for 3-4 ABs in a game. I like him as a pinch hitter/defensive replacement.
  2. If I am a betting man Paddock is not going to be back. they will give him the offseason to make sure he is good. With Kuechel there is 0 point to bring another starter to the pen (Ober/Meada probably end up there as well). Buxton needs to be able to get into the field though, that is a must, otherwise, keep him on IL and bring up Martin.
  3. Everyone knows that if Rocco is gone Pohlads will have gardenhire coach. He coaches his tail off.
  4. Why would you trade one of the only hitters that is performing? Leaving Gallo in there does nothing. Move AK to LF.
  5. Gallo was traded last year, with similar money involved, I believe. I think somebody could be interested at the right price. We aren't going to get a lot unless we eat some of the money. It is a possibility though.
  6. The problem is, Farmer, Solano and Castro. They have all played into the lineup. They need to trade Gallo and Kepler if they are keeping both.
  7. I dont think i touch the starting pitching. What I would consider is a trade for Soto and another for Goldschmidt. Dont know if either of those are available. Maybe include Gallo/Kepler.
  8. This is exactly the time. It isn't Rocco, who we could discuss deserving firing, but hitting isn't there. They need to do something. Not addressing it will mean 0-22 in POs
  9. He couldn't be worse than Kepler, plus he isn't going to get better with AAA pitching.
  10. I don't think CES will reach Baltimore as he was traded to Cincinnati
  11. He was absolutely awful for most of last year. Over the last month and a half or so (from what i heard) he stopped using a pitch. I don't remember which. During that time, he had very good numbers. Look at this year now 1 ER over 5.2 innings, 1 BB and 4 K, 1.69 ERA. If he keeps this up, he is back, and we have 6 guys who can lock it down.
  12. Kepler would have been a nice one to predict.
  13. Why not just take a Bailey Ober for #5?
  14. Nothing HAS to happen. The younger guys have options. I don't know that the FO over valued Kep. I do believe some fans/writers overvalued him. But this could just be posturing as well. If they have a team that is interested in him but won't meet your "demands" in a trade. You say you are keeping and see how desperate they are.

    Helman

    Correct. It should be a big belief. The Astros played small ball, base stealing, Hit and run, Bunt etc. Obviously they didn't have the health issues. But they can't just ignore that part of game.

    Helman

    Kind of like a better (offensive) Romine? I think that is the guy that play 9 positions a couple years ago. I see all the stolen bases and feel like that plays in the majors. If only Rocco would allow it, or do you think that was more of a shift issue, as to why he didnt have them play that game?

    Helman

    Can anyone tell me anything about Helman? I know he isn't high on the prospect list but is on top 30. He is at AAA and looks like he could be a good utility. What is holding him up, Farmer/Gordon?
  18. So far what we saw from lewis was that he can make up for loss average wise but I believe all three would be more power by a mile. Even if they hit .280 -.290 I would be happy.
  19. The Twins were winning the division by a mile until the injuries stacked too high. If Correa does end up here you would think that could continue. Are they a WS contender with Correa, my guesses are not yet, but they are not boring...IMO.
  20. Like you said, less than 100 games. I think they had to give him a full year to decide, however, they were moving him around last year. I also think the other part of it is the depth at OF positions, so if they can help him with footwork (at SS) or whatever the issue is, they need to try to work through that too.
  21. Glad someone said it. What did Dazzle man do to you though?
  22. Pablo Reyes? I think you might have a couple people combined for that name. ? Also, despite the "miracles" for Vikings the end result will be the same as Twins playoff experience lately. We don't need miracles just people who perform when needed.
  23. Correa is not worth the contract he will get.
  24. Did Correa provide enough to warrant a 300-400M contract? Minus the power I would say it would be worth the trade if you can save the money and bring in a Rodón or some stud pitching. Defensively I don't know if we lose anything.
  25. What if the Twins just give him the Bobby Bonilla deal? Pay him 1 Million for the next 400 years.
