  1. I think what's most concerning is we've had to call up and use long relievers because of starters blow ups twice now within the first 4 games. Donna now Mcgaughan. What's next, do they call up Morris or Festa for a few days to pitch 5 innings after SWR or even Lopez gets knocked out of the game in the third inning?
  2. I think Winokur and Soto are the most promising and most fun to watch develop this year. Can Soto put together a full healthy season of good numbers and possibly make his AA debut this year? Can Winokur stick at short since we're going to need an MLB caliber SS soon? It's also an important season for Gabby Gonzalez. Hopefully last year was a fluke and he can put together a good solid year and put up some offensive numbers. Aside from whatever we get from Topa this year, Gonzalez is our last chance to get something out of the Polanco trade. It's looking like it might be more fun following the minor league teams rather than the MLB club this year 😂
  3. The way they've played so far, I'm not so sure the Twins could beat the Saints right now lol. If we go into our home opener 0-6 it would be funny if nobody went to the game Thursday in protest of the crappy play so far. Won't happen, but it would be a strong message to ownership. Their time is up, move on and sell the team to somebody who cares!
  4. We have every right to complain after that pathetic excuse of a game today against the WSox. Buxton and Correa quitting in the 3rd inning? No fight at all to this team, I would never pay money to watch this excuse of a team.
  5. It's nice he doesn't strike out much but he never walks and produces lots of weak contact. If he could improve his pitch recognition and start driving some pitches for more power it would sure help out the lineup until Lewis comes back.
  6. It's too bad Eeles is hurt, this could have been his chance this year. Wonder what his return to timeline is, same with Keaschal playing the field. After watching the three pathetic offensive clunkers this weekend it sure looks like we're gonna need all the help we can get ...
  7. So far Wili and Larnach are the only ones hitting.
  8. He could be a real exciting player. Maybe Correa's heir apparent at shortstop. Now they just need to find a way to keep him healthy and on the field, which they haven't been able to do with all of our other top prospects.
  9. Offense looks terrible aside from Larnach. Wallner, Correa and Buxton 0-24. No wonder we're winless. Looks like Correa is hitting everything into the ground again If he keeps this up I wouldn't be surprised if he leads the league in grounding into double plays again. Twins baseball baby!
  10. I'd wait to see how this year plays out. Will he hit like first half Jeffers or second half Jeffers of last year? He's not great defensively so he'll need to stay healthy and hit well to be of bvalue.
  11. An actual plan at the trade deadline would help a lot too. If we are competitive and have a clear hole or two to fill, then they need to go out and fill it. Unlike last year when they picked up the nobody reliever literally just to show they did something.
  12. I think he'll need to have really healthy seasons up until his contract is up if we're to extend him. Maybe give him a cheap base salary with plenty of incentives to make more money based on games played. That way the deal doesn't sink us if he's always hurt. With guys like Jenkins, Rodriguez, Keaschal, Rosario and Mccusker coming up Buck will have to outproduce some younger guys in order to get playing time ..
  13. As usual, it will all come down to health. All you've got to do these days is MAKE the postseason and then anything can happen :) Happy opening day!
  14. I was also thinking if he stays healthy and effective, but we also have someone in AAA banging down the door for a call up, maybe we could aquire a bat for Paddack at the deadline before he inevitably goes down....
  15. Morales looked real good this spring. Will be interesting to see if he can keep hitting like this in AAA for any length of time. If Lewis and Lee continue to battle injuries, it couldn't hurt to have someone like him available who can hit:)
  16. As long as Lee is only out for the minimum, then he can take the roster spot of Julien when he returns.
  17. With Lewis, Lee and Gasper all hurt, our infield is starting to look pretty shaky, especially defensively. Hopefully Rocco starts Castro at 2nd more than Julien because a right side infield of Julien and France is a disaster waiting to happen. As for our "best bullpen in baseball" lol, we now don't have enough quality relievers. Too bad we lost Henriquez and Headrick for nothing. Blewitt might be ok in the short term, but even when Stewart comes back he's not going to last. Maybe we can pick someone up from outside the org. As far as Eeles goes, why isn't he playing this spring? He should have been one of our best infield options once Lewis and Lee went down....?
  18. Bummer about Gasper. While his defense at 2nd wasn't great, he was better than Julien. Plus he looked decent behind the plate and his bat looked like it would play just fine at the major league level. With him, Lee and Lewis out we may see Julien and Martin making the team. This defense is going to be BAD. What's up with Eeles? Has he played at all this spring? Why isn't his name in the IF conversation? Hopefully Keaschal can play the field soon because it seems our infield desperately needs him asap. France and Julien on the right side may be the worst defensive tandem in baseball. That does not bode well for our pitchers :(
  19. A lot of people are big on his velo, which we've seen touch 100mph. While that is nice, his fastball is very straight which means its easier to hit. And with that velo when it does get hit, it gets hit hard. If he can find a way to get some movement on his pitches and develop a good offspeed pitch, maybe he can be a solid reliever. I am glad they finally are putting him in the pen fulltime. He is cooked as a starter and has been for awhile. I wish him the best of luck, you can never have to many weapons out there in the pen...
  20. Looking at the team rosters side by side, we should have the better team. As we've learned, you never overlook CLE. They seem to always get the most out of their players while the Twins guys see extended slumps and injuries. The AL Central should be real interesting this year with all teams except CHI looking to win the division.
  21. This may be satire, but unfortunately I think it's a very strong possibility that Lewis Buxton and Correa all play musical chairs with the IL throughout the year. This will be nothing new, the season this year and every year will be determined by our ability to weather all of their IL time.
  22. I think a mid-market team like the Twins can probably rely on one, maybe two injury prone guys in the lineup. Three, definitely not. If every single year we have Lewis, Buxton and Correa missing half the season it's going to cripple the rest of the roster. I say get whatever production we can out of Lewis until he's a free agent while also looking for our third baseman of the future .
