    If I were a GM, I would pass on Bellinger unless his price was surprisingly reasonable. The guy is so inconsistent.
  2. Jeff K
    Unless Wallner has a disastrous Spring, I think we can write it in ink that he starts the season in LF...as the starter.
  3. Jeff K
    We have two primary issues with the 40 man roster. The first is right now as they need to release two players to make room. For that I would go with Balazovic and Duarte. Balazovic has had enough time to show what he has to the Twins and I just don't see him in any impactful role. He is, at best, mop up or long relief. Why keep him if that is is upside? The second roster issue will center around spring training performance and any moves the Twins make between now and the start of the season. That's all guesswork that we have to wait on to see.

    I think given the absence (until now) of a TV deal, the Twins did reasonably well. I do feel like they ought to be able to either trade talent to acquire a quality starting pitcher, or they could sign a frustrated Free Agent starter to a one year deal. I hope they do so.
  5. Jeff K
    Right! It's one thing to spend money. It's another to do it well.

    Relief pitching changes year over year. Not worried about their age.
  7. Jeff K
    I sure agree! I also believe that Kirilloff could be an outfield consideration if we can solve first base.
  8. Jeff K
    This really is the biggest question. Depending on how much they get, perhaps the Twins could reopen their wallets and make a splash on a starting pitcher. I get that this is unlikely. What is more likely is a move at the trade deadline.

    On paper, the bullpen looks to be an area of strength. Moving Varland to the pen as well as our additions, this looks like a deep bullpen with a lot of velocity.
  10. Jeff K
    I would have been fine signing Solano rather than Santana. Not unhappy with Santana, but Solano seemingly added more versatility. I kind of think the Twins are done with their moves until the trade deadline. I hope I'm wrong.
  11. Jeff K
    ...and I can't say that I trust Bellinger to perform! That's a hard no for Bellinger...imho!
  12. Jeff K
    Yes. While Kirilloff's leash may be getting shorter, I think he is a reasonable bet to have a solid season at first base. I've seen comments about Wallner going to 1b...and I laugh because the Twins are thin in the outfield. I think it would be smart to resign Solano and run the same plan as last season at first which was primarily Kirilloff and Solano.
  13. Jeff K
    Regarding Varland, while the sample size was small, he appears to be a high end reliver vs. a 4/5 starter. I would prefer to see him in critical relief roles rather than starting. That's part of why I do like the Polanco trade.
  14. Jeff K
    Agreed and Solano is a MUCH better option. I think Solano's contributions last year were somewhat underappreciated...just an opinion. He provides depth at first base as well as elsewhere in the infield and I think he is an excellent, relatively inexpensive option.
  15. Jeff K
    ...that doesn't make me feel old!
  16. Jeff K
    I agree with your comments. That said, with the infield logjam and other tradeable assets, I do feel the Twins should be able to (and should) trade for a #2 or #3 starter to supplement our starters.
  17. Jeff K
    Very happy to see the results thus far for Mauer. As for Gordon, if I were the Twins, I would stick pretty close to their proposed number. The delta is not that great; however, Gordon was terrible before his injury and his role with the Twins has more competition than two years ago.
  18. Jeff K
    I fully agree. Polanco has been a great Twin. But it is a professional sports team which means business. Polanco's defensive skills and ability to stay on the field have diminished. He should be traded, while he still has value, as part of a package to bring in a starter.
  19. Jeff K
    I admit, I became a Sano "disliker" (I try not to hate...). He seemed to waste his seemingly great talent. Not many have the opportunity to be major league ballplayers and Sano seemingly took it for granted. I think comparing ballplayers is a fools errand. They are all different and hopefully Wallner continues to improve and produce for the Twins. He is fun to watch. And he plays a nice outfield.
  20. Jeff K
    I would sign him. He was an extremely valuable player. I like Solano paired with Kirilloff at first base. It was a good combination.
  21. Jeff K
    I agree. We are weakened in RF and Kepler is not the answer for CF.
  22. Jeff K
    This was indeed a fun season. And I could not understand why Santana was still in the bullpen for much of the season. He was already dominant.
  23. Jeff K
    I agree and add that I would/could not vote for Sheffield.
  24. Jeff K
    No. Let me restate that; Please no. Put another way; for the love of Shaboom NOOOOO!
