    I really don't like reading that the pick we used at #1 in the draft still has swing mechanics and defensive play questions at this point. Hopefully he made big strides in that last year while no one was watching.

    This is hilarious. If you don't like it, then don't lose.

    Something to also ponder is Byron Buxton's defense. He's a game changer out there. In a 60 game season it creates an interesting dynamic. Every single game matters. Because of that, I don't want him playing cautiously out in center. On the other hand, every game matters so we can't afford to have him missing a few days here and there for minor injuries, or worse.

    Seems like some people are forgetting quite a bit about how the MLB draft works. You never draft based on the needs of the big league team. Best case scenario this guy gets a mid-season call up two years from now. Nelson Cruz is not going to be on the team by then. If it takes 3 years, then Miguel Sano would be on the last year of his current contract. We can only guess what the roster will look like 2-3 years from now. This also goes without saying that if Sabato shoots up the minor leagues in two years he is going to be a guy you find a spot for. Secondly, at this point in the draft the expectation for a player is they will probably make the big leagues but who knows/not much past that. It's hard to get excited about a hit only 1B/DH in the first round. The Twins clearly think he's a good hitter and if he mashes it won't matter that people weren't excited about the pick.

    With the position the team seems to be in, it's hard to say anything less than a World Series is a success. In reality, winning the World Series is very hard. I'd say minimum for a successful season is playing in the ALCS.

    I moved to Minneapolis back in the summer. Definitely planning on making it this year for the first time!

    I would be very unhappy if another move isn’t made today. I would definitely question my level of support going forward. That’s coming from someone who was excited to watch the Twins every day during all the 90+ loss seasons. I know the few posts I have made are risk averse when it comes to trading prospects, but if not now, when? The Twins have a great offense comprised of young players entering their primes. They have one of the deepest prospect pools in all of MLB. Go get some pitchers!

    What I would be willing to give up for a top tier pitcher is largely dependent on the years of team control for that pitcher. I’m not giving up Lewis for less than 3 years of the pitcher in return. The Twins can’t afford to make trades like that unless the financial strategy changes drastically. Now other prospects are more expendable because of depth or talent. But the Twins always need to give a little consideration to the future when trading prospects.

    When the Twins beat the Yankees, I think to myself "yes"

    Looks like May threw a scoreless inning to me.

    Big fan

    Has there been any indication from the front office that they would consider Graterol for the bullpen later this year? I mean I guess with how he is pitching they may even have to consider him for the starting rotation.
  14. Tibs
    Why is no one discussing the fact that Buxton came to a complete stop, took two little hop steps, and threw the ball 98.6 mph over 256 ft to get the runner out at the plate? That's amazing.

    I was not a believer of Perez after his relief outings. Man I was wrong. He has been great so far

    AND WE CAN BUILD THIS DREAM TOGETHER

    Hopefully the Twins can take advantage of a weak schedule this week. Really need Gibson and Odorizzi to step up. I think Perez could look good in the bullpen. It doesn't make sense to me that the Twins have had 5 off days (plus a postponement) to begin the season and are now playing 37 games in 38 days. Why couldn't some of those off days be distributed throughout the season?

    Taylor Rogers was there last night. He hasn't pitched since Sunday. He is clearly our best reliever and has been devastating against LHB. The Mets had a LHB up to bat with the bases loaded and 2 outs in a 1 run game. I'm not singling you out, but so many people aren't mentioning this. It was a no-brainer to put in Taylor Rogers. Sure Kimbrel or someone would really help, but we can't act like we had no one to put in for that situation. Baldelli blew that one.

    That's the first time I've seen video of Cole Sands. Very impressed. One of those fastballs was clocked at 98. He has a sharp curveball and showcased a change-up as well.

    Twins are winning the division this year. You heard it here first. Unless it doesn't happen. Then I heard it from Seth first.

    Ooof

    Robot managers!

    I'm not a fan of giving up a draft pick for a short term deal.

    There are numerous reasons to not bunt against the shift. On your first point about a walk vs a bunt, I'll talk the walk every time. A walk is a free base 100% of the time. You still have to execute a bunt. You could bunt the ball right in front of the plate or right back to the pitcher. You could pop up the bunt. You still have to put the ball in play and beat it out. A lot of things can go wrong. Who on the Twins would you rather see bunt than swing away ever? You're giving up the opportunity for extra base hits if you bunt, meaning you score less runs. Lastly, teams aren't going to change their defensive philosophy just because someone laid down a few bunts against a shift. Their defensive philosophy is based off of hundreds or even thousands of plate appearances. They aren't changing that because Miguel Sano laid down a few bunts. They would actually probably prefer that over him swinging away.

    I'm going to be asking the Twins for a refund on my Xavier Moore jersey I just bought
