Judge and Raleigh also strike out approximately 30 % of the time. They should maybe be replaced also?

Terrible news!

Very well deserved. Had the privilege of meeting him and his son many years ago. A true gentleman and a great ambassador for the Twins and Minnesota!

The shoulder was hurt in spring training. How much earlier was he bad????

Hard to tell anything with the bad shoulder last year.

First thing that comes to me on the visor is Frank Quilici.

At this moment we have Jeffers and Vazquez at catcher. Kirilloff, Julien,Correa and Lewis around the infield. With Polanco, hopefully Miranda, possibly Lee at some point. Outfield has Kepler, hopefully Buxton at least as Dh, Wallner and Larnach. Also possibly Martin. Where are you going to put these 2 hitters that we supposedly need? I am of the opinion that we need to replace Gray first. Hopefully bringing him back on a 2 or 3 year deal. Beyond that I believe filling in at the edges is what needs to happen this winter. First thing to figure out is the broadcast revenue. Then possibly a reliever or two. Also making a decision on Farmer. Most of what is needed is already here hopefully. A return to form from Buxton and Correa. A bounceback from Miranda. Continued improvement from some combination of Julien, Lewis, Wallner, Lee, Martin, E-Rod, Rosario, Funderburk and more should help more than adding to payroll. My opinion FWIW! .

Never claimed the Padres were a mess.

How many posters actually realize that we don't play as many intra-division as we used to. It dropped by 24 this last year. Not as many intradivison games changes the story about playing in the "worst" division in baseball.

At this time it has disappeared. They don't know now what a new deal will look like. Perhaps it goes down and perhaps it goes up but at this point it is an unknown. You don't buy a new car after losing your job because you feel a new job will appear.

Once again, Buxton has a no trade contract. He's not going anywhere.

I don't think he changed his swing to compensate his knee. I think his knee affected his swing. Tough to drive through the pitch when your back knee isn't strong.

It is sometimes frustrating to listen to the calls for players who can help from the minors. Lately that has been Funderburk, Lee, Martin, Stevenson, Williams, Camargo and Prato aming others. Each of these players could maybe help. But eveyone of them is not on the 40 man. Hence someone needs to be removed from the 40 man to make room. Some people just don't seem to get that! Also the calls to trade Buxton even though he has a no trade clause, but that is a different gripe!
