    Kirilloff gained zero at bats or hits from his prospect status. The status that "everyone" agreed with. Sorry you need a step by babystep explanation to follow what is apretty obvious statement. He obviously played for the Twins. He obviously got at bats and hits. His elite prospect status gained him nothing statistically. Understand now?

    Nope... We just got rid of an former Cy Young winner signed at a "bargain" price. Two seasons (while being paid for 3) basically clogging up the back end of the rotation (with all that vaunted pipeline talent!) with results that could have been replaced with ~3 AAA disposable free agents at 20% of the cost (damned cheap Pohlads!). This injury and resulting surgery likely ends his productive career as a front of the rotation arm as a Twin. That is a shame. With his diminishing returns statistically before the TJ, I just can't see a reason to do it. Almost no chance he's takes a pay cut to extend with this gang of misfit toys. And if he does, it is confirmation that we are in for another Paddack "buy 3 get 2" bargains. It's not like the Twins have a stellar record of rehabbing mature pitchers to inspire much hope for that. $10m isn't exactly chicken feed when constructing a Twins roster. And he'll never be pitching at that price anyway! This isn't just a no, but a hard no.

    10 fingers and 5 toes... MUTANT ALERT!!! And "everyone but you" isn't even worth a thought! "Everyone" knew Kirilloff was a lock to hit in the majors. Good for exactly zero at bats/hits. A "prospect" going into his 4th professional season without a full season in total falls into the "project" bucket. A very interesting project to be sure.

    Just call him Mr. Production!!! Better yet, build a time machine and forget to give him an arbitration number.

    If the Twins' 10th best prospect has a pro resume of 1) injury, no season 2) great "stuff" and pisspoor results and 3) season innings total that can be counted on your fingers and one foot, we aren't looking at a lost season for them, we're looking at years of floundering. An interesting player, but some results are needed. Wish him the best of luck and hope that a matured body holds up better than the growing one has.

    Been a while since you kissed your sister, huh?

    How can anyone expect anything else from him??? (Hope is not the same as expecting) He's shown no willingness to change anything about his across the board bad play. Shorten that slower than Luis Tiant in the stretch windup of his? NEVER!!! Work on making contact more than "hard contact" (hint - swing and miss is ALWAYS zero contact, and shocker, no power)??? NEVER!!! No adjustments = bad baseball

    Throw in Wallner or Larnach and the sky is the limit on on the return...

    Hrbek and Brunanski both hit double figures in SB (too lazy to look it up, but...) without elite speed. Hrbie claimed later in his career that those were basically gimmies that anyone paying attention should be able to get over a season. False modesty aside, he had a point.

    Yes, unless I'm terribly mistaken. Iowa is good, but I am still in Twins territory as far as tv broadcasts are concerned (i.e. the blackout rules). If the fine print is the same as last year, AppleTv (whatever it's actual name is) ESPN & Fox national broadcasts are not available on twinstv, but since this is the Twins, those games are few and far between. Otherwise, you should get about 5 and half games (+) per week for your hundred dollar bill. Not sure if a more expensive MLB.TV package would get you some or all of those blackout games. Hope this helps...

    Hope springs eternal during Spring Training!!! Let's hope that they can make it through today's 7 innings with a little of that remaining. PLAY BALL!!
  13. Bodie
    I mean they already have Mr.20 HRs (and absolutely nothing else) penciled in to RF... Another player like that and we can start making World Series plans!

    Never send the wife a Valentines Day card with a man wearing an Amish beard. Even if it an actual Amish. Just trust me on this one...

    Excepting the first sentence, everyone listed in paragraph two wouldn't/won't get you more than a bag of batting practice balls. Collectively. A bunch of poor pinch hitters is worth less than one. We've got a bunch of those. I assume the Astros want competent lefty bats. The Twins have none. But, I'd love to be proven wrong. Anything is possible. Heck, Failvey actually traded Julien!

    Gotta be a first... HTF do we have a knuckleballer with a gimpy wing??? #twinsbaseball
  17. Bodie
    Well, I know five and a half will. So I assume you are right!

    You old! But, correct.

    Only one thing better than three hours of live Twins baseball...

    I've seen mediocrity. I watched ~130-40 Twins games last year. They were seldom mediocre. They stunk, individually (excepting Buxton and Keaschall) and were worse than that collectively. The problem isn't mediocrity (that would be a huge step up!), it is that people who should be the last guy or two off the bench (if that) start for this team.
  21. Bodie
    But his arm strength... (just ignore that day and a half windup!)
  22. Bodie
    If anyone with actual say-so thinks Wallner is underrated, please call the Twins front office. Something can be worked out...
  23. Bodie
    "Liked" because you're 💯 percent correct. Hate it because you're 💯 percent correct...

    And Twins fans are told to be excited about the "prospects" who either flop or regression in the majors. Helluva pipeline! Couldn't even piece together a semblance of a bullpen with the supposed strength of the pitching. And we're how many years since the last prospect "hit"? (Jeffers is now 6 years...) Author needs a remedial engineering course. A sewer pipe isn't a "pipeline"...

    Scouring the Twins' rosters trying to find all that "excess depth" holding him up. At any position...
