    Twins in bed with Boras. Not the worst thing in the world.
  2. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Very good news.
  3. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Orioles definitely slapped the Twins around before the break and the Rays, earlier in the year, looked like a juggernaut. But the Twins' starting pitching would give them a puncher's chance against both clubs - bolster the pen and line-up and I think the Twins can beat them. As for the Braves, yeah. They're loaded and look poised to win it all.

    Dare I say it...the starting rotation is good enough to win a pennant especially in a year where no one in the AL stands out as a true favorite. But... How much does the bullpen need to be fortified and how badly do they need a right-handed bat in order for the 'pen and line-up to pick up some much needed slack - that's the question.

    Kepler won't get traded. I think the bigger question with Max is do the Twins pick up his option for 2024? I'm not condoning that move nor would I criticize it - just throwing it out there. The FO tends to have a tough time saying good bye and with Buxton being such a gigantic ?, even if Kepler isn't a CF, it might make sense to hold onto an outfielder at a reasonable price.
  6. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    I don't necessarily think Buxton's hurt. I think he's so far inside his head right now and he can't figure it out. If he's looking for Popkins for help, that's not going to do a whole lot.
  7. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    I'm over Sonny Gray. He's good one time through the line-up and then the wheels come off. Ironic that the guy barking loudest about pitching deep into games can't manage to do so even with Rocco having a different philosophy than last season.
  8. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Yup and based on the comments from the FO before the break, this is what they're banking on. Young guys continue to hit and the Big 3 get healthy and on track. If that happens, the Twins can probably get close to 90 wins and win the division by a handful of games. But at this point, that is a gigantic IF.
  9. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Which perhaps speaks to the line-up not being good enough - I love Correa and I'm glad he's a Twin but if you're banking on him to be your best hitter, you're setting yourself up for failure. With that said, Popkins still isn't off the hook because even though the line-up isn't good enough - it shouldn't be *this* bad.
  10. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Correa's never been a great offensive player - I'd say he's good to very good (when he's locked in) but he's not going to carry a line-up for long stretches of time. His defense has been gold glove caliber so there's that and if he even slightly rebounds in the second half, his run production will wind up close to his career averages.

    Interesting regarding Lewis and while I get where he's coming from, this just solidifies what a joke the front office is. Lewis might turn into a franchise player. But he is no where near the point where he should be dictating the position that he plays. If the Twins had a legitimate opportunity to get Arenado, they shouldn't think twice about it - go ahead and make a trade. Let the dust clear afterwards and figure things out with Lewis.
  12. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Sad, but incredibly true.
  13. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Firing Popkins is such low-hanging fruit. Why hasn't it happened yet?
  14. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Rocco sitting Royce tonight. Makes perfect sense 🤬
  15. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Props to Ryan. Big time performance. Much needed win and keeps the 'pen fresh heading into a big series against Detroit. Nice to see the offense get some early runs. Buxton and Kepler starting to heat up.
  16. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    That evidence will likely hit like a ton of bricks upside the head.
  17. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Dallas Keuchel signed to a minor league deal....
