    After all these years NY is finally getting some revenge for the Giants transfer to SF. Not sure they really won this one.
  2. mikelink45
    If he has a physical problem he becomes perfect for the fix any problem Twins!

    I am fine with using Farmer to begin. I think Lee will eventually take over and Lewis will be at a different position - those are difficult injuries that have long term repercussions. I think Polanco is a likely trade candidate along with Kepler (and not because of Gallo). Gordon has been written off for SS by the team - a shame, and now the OF is getting too crowded. Sometimes the FO over thinks things.
  4. mikelink45
    I suggest we trade Gallo for a RP! Or almost anything. The bottom of the barrel should not be exciting.
  5. mikelink45
    I consider Gallo a dumpster dive - somehow the Twins have convinced themselves that they can take flawed players and cure them - the results do not justify their opinion.
  6. mikelink45
    Your Gallo statement is just not flying with me, but otherwise I enjoyed this essay even though I don't see enough to save the season.
  7. mikelink45
    I really enjoyed what he did last year. He ranked with Arraez and Miranda as a player to root for. I hope he is given a real chance.
  8. mikelink45
    Everyone hit HRs that year
  9. mikelink45
    Well he is not Nelson Cruz Gallo has 1048 Ks in 8 seasons 752 games (1.4 per game) - - Cruz 1870 in 18 seasons 2006 games - (.93 per game) Lifetime averages - Cruz 274 BA - Gallo 199. This is a comparison I cannot buy into.
  10. mikelink45
    To be even more fair - those were 2018 - 19. 4 - 5 years ago. I can't buy into it.
  11. mikelink45
    No - that is all I can say. They are not bringing back the juiced ball and if it allows them to trade Arraez and Kepler then we have not only signed a ridiculous contract, but in essence have traded him for much better players.
  12. mikelink45
    I am glad you got this out of the way. It was an excellent summary (as usual) and I appreciate your work, but it is not a holiday cheer article and I do not think that it is possible to put this off season in better perspective. I think tickets are going to be easy to obtain this season.
  13. mikelink45
    And what does Gallo have to do with that?
  14. mikelink45
    I do - they still want fans in the stands
  15. mikelink45
    Good article because you capture the angst that so many of us have. Of all the players they could sign - redundant left handed bat and OF is not what we needed or want. I just hope that Falvey and Lavine are reading all of our comments and silently learning this was not the move we wanted. I think Patrick Reusse also captured the frustration with this swing and miss batter - Sano part 2 - but maybe not as good.
  16. mikelink45
    I think of the prospects gone and this list is not going to be good replacements. I am glad to see the pitchers with the standard health report of all Twin signing.
  17. mikelink45
    I am so old school that I remember the Mendoza line and it was not an honor. Please do not drop the OPS line on us. He stinks.
  18. mikelink45
    I need some good news, but this off season has only a catcher to light a fire in fan enthusiasm. Will that work? Trade Urshela and sign Turner - bad rumor, worse if true. We still have time and the FO likes to work last minute so there is hope.
  19. mikelink45
    A recent look at the AL central asked if anyone wants to win. The big signings - Benintendi by Sox, Bell by the Guardians. The rest is a joke - including Gallo. So do we stay in the middle - not moving forward, not moving backwards. I just want them to tell us the truth - we are looking at rookies and prospects (trade the vets if that is true) - and let us step back hoping to move forward like the Hrbek/Gaetti days.
  20. mikelink45
    Good reflections - Time for fans to stop obsessing over the high end FA and focus on the crappy low enders we sign like Gallo. Let's get a team of good prospects and grow with them.
  21. mikelink45
    I am all in on Lee - I was in on Griffey, Soto, Acuna...go for it. While I am still gagging over Gallo, a young dynamic player is just what I hope for.
  22. mikelink45
    The White Sox got Benntendi - We lose
  23. mikelink45
    We have covered for Sano's absence now that we have and his 79 OPS+ Sorry Joey, but you do not make up for Correa, Rodon, or any other random FA.
  24. mikelink45
    Please - this is such terrible news I would rather have the blizzard back. We have not even been without Sano for a year did we really need another bat to stir the air in the stadium. I hate this more than any move this FO has made - bring back Shoemaker and put him in the OF.
  25. mikelink45
    The latest rumor is that Falvey and Lavine are going to split time at SS. Who needs to sign a player when so much talent is in the FO?
