In that scenario, Polanco 2b, Lewis SS, Arraez utility. -
I disagree. you can never have too many SS! Leave Lewis at SS until he proves he can’t play it.
-
Better than Martin Perez does not inspire confidence.... That being said, I hope the OP is right!

as a shareholder I get to listen in on the earnings call. medical as a whole is about 8 billion of a 33 billion market cap. Masks and avagard are a portion of that 8, not sure how much but probably growing! 3M is one of the worlds largest producers of surgical/face masks and respirators, but it’s highly diversified, using/manufacturing the same IP into many different markets. It’s a bellwether stock, part of why it’s not getting hammered right now is it’s taken a beating over the last year.
-
Ticker MMM maker of Avagard and surgical face masks has been doing less bad than other Dow stocks lately. That dang PFAS monkey on their back will hinder things for a while though...

Mod note: this article is intended for humor. Do not use this forum to swap tactics on how to game the rules in place. Describing ways to circumvent MLB’s intellectual property rights equates to a break of number 5 on the comment policy. http://twinsdaily.com/topic/8228-twins-daily-comment-policy/

Good OP! I agree, the managers that have the guts to more regularly stretch relievers an extra out will succeed with the new rule. Managers that cling to the traditional reliever roles may struggle
-
I’m on the optimism train too! Choo Choo!!!!
-
I’m on the Rooker bandwagon too Edit to add, were the Sire(s) of Fort Myers, plural, Thielbar throwing gas seems like a good bet.
-
considering 30-40% of what’s coming off the books is Odorizzi, it’s not that much....
-
There's three moderators posted in the thread... laughing, I might add

RE: Cruz. It’s pretty optimistic that one of the Rookies could step in and backfill Cruz. Letting his production go will leave a big gap. It’s a deep lineup and a DH can be had cheaply, but not at the value they got from Cruz. RE: Marwin... Adrianza is already on the roster, and is a free agent too. He’s not replacing Marwin. If you can resign Ehire, losing Marwin isn’t huge, but you gotta resign one of them. My vote is Ehire. That knocks down your total maybe, 12-15 mil, I guess.
-
Great article, Matt! I think you’ll find similar experiences in the Forums. Many of the hearty TDers live beyond the reaches of Fox Sports North and come here to TD to connect.
-
yup. I see Marwin as the 4th OF and Astudillo up to start the season as a decent bet.

Offseason Status Update: Final Grades
Richie the Rally Goat replied to Nick Nelson's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
91 might have been a better offseason with Chili Davis and Jack Morris, but I could be persuaded that Donaldson and Maeda are a better tandem as an offseason goes, and this was after setting the foundation with Pineda and Odo So if this is in contention with the best offseason in my lifetime, it has to be an A.... -
Point of clarification: The big league field has concessions on game days, but the back fields do not. And if you can swing a long weekend to Florida, don’t wait. It’s a great experience!
-
I’d much rather read Warne than LEN3, but Lavelle was all over the Graterol trade, and has a long history of being a good beat reporter.
-
i feel for Graterol and hope he pitches well for the Dodgers.

http://twinsdaily.com/blog/1282/entry-11699-why-jordan-balazovic-has-the-makings-of-an-ace/ I’m really high on Jordy Blaze and so is Nash Walker!
-
Those rumors were from the equivalent of Brandon Warne. I love Warne, great writer, he’s not LEN3 or Ken Rosenthal. It’s not that Warne, or Thomas Holland or any of us here at TD can’t break news coverage... but I wouldn’t take it as gospel
-
About 135mil, if spotrac is right. 132 + 13 - 10 https://www.spotrac.com/mlb/minnesota-twins//payroll
-
now you have Berrios, Maeda, and Pineda in your ‘21 rotation. Next offseason, much more feasible to fill out or improve on a potentially very good ‘20 rotation.
-
https://blogs.fangraphs.com/an-update-on-how-to-value-draft-picks/ According to FG, 67th pick of ‘19 was worth 4.1 mil. Cash could mean some room for the Twins to make a move at the trade deadline
-
Depending on the second piece from the Twins, Maeda is still a good get. Can’t wait to see this finalized!

http://m.startribune.com/minnesota-twins-dodgers-red-sox-work-toward-finalizing-deal/567710582/?refresh=true Two highlights: “ As of last night, the Twins had added a second minor leaguer to the deal - a player outside their top ten prospects” And “ This also means that the chances that Brusdar Graterol remain a Twin are slim. Personally, I was surprised to see him on the mound yesterday amidst the turmoil surrounding the deal and the Red Sox concerns over his medical information. But he threw his bullpen session despite all of it.”
