  1. You set it on the tee, and I whiffed badly. No wonder my mom is so disappointed in me
  2. I think you are right
  3. Yes, I am a terrible disappointment and she reminds me every time I see her. Ron Coomer?
  4. Very true, but I would hope Prielipp would become more of a closer/setup man than a situational lefty.
  5. Did the OP put 70 wins as the baseline for ALC competition? uh, 80 might not be competitive, 70 would put you solidly 4th, only because Sox are pathetic
  6. It could be that Mat backed out, and Justin can’t pony up the full 1.5 to 2 bil alone, so pivoted to incremental hostile takeover.
  7. Considering the Bader signing, what alternatives do the Twins have to Buxton? what would his return be in trade?
  8. The Op had posted this in the Paddack thread, it fits here: Off Post but not sure where to say this on TD? The sooner Byron Buxton is no longer a Minnesota Twin in CF, the sooner the whole Twins Roster can flourish? Watched a Dan Hayes "X" post of BB passing on 4 Paddock pitches, 3 of the 4 close, if not, in the Strike Zone? All worth a Spring Training swing? We're talking "Training" folks? Even in the dirt, try a swing??? Love Byron...but we need to move on?“
  9. You could make a case for Festa to be ahead of Paddack too. More WAR with 33% fewer innings pitched.
  10. I agree with you, also if you are right that Bader plays the most outfield innings the offense will be really bad.
  11. The risk/reward of selling high. When it works, you can do what Cleveland is doing. When it doesn’t you get Pittsburgh.
  12. At least according to baseball savant, France makes Miranda look like a gold glove at first. France has a cumulative -17 outs above average over 5 seasons, or -3.4 per season compared to Miranda’s -4 over two seasons.
  13. Disagreed, this team has a long history of hanging on to washed vets far too long. agreed, better to wait for results before declaring failure. I hope France is a 3 fWAR player, but I am skeptical and fear a repeat of Margot and Gallo
  14. Santana fielded well, and was the 13th best 1B in MLB last year. He was fine, didn’t deserve getting DFA’d. We’ll see if he can repeat, but he had down seasons leading up. Donnie barrels was a fine bat first utility guy. He didn’t deserve DFA. Nelson Cruz had a last gasp, he didn’t deserve getting DFA’d, the Twins got lucky sticking with good players is a good thing. The problem is sticking with bad players. Bad players make your team worse. Not only did the two players I mentioned make the team worse, they did so while getting starters innings. No risk, no reward, but you have to cut bait if you make a mistake. I don’t have a problem with the mistake, it’s failure to course correct.
  15. The English language changes constantly. For instance, Ace
  16. Should the definition of “ACE” be static, or relevant to the era that the pitcher pitched in?
  17. If you’ve stopped watching baseball in 1993, what are we even doing here? How can we have a meaningful discussion about 2025 Joe Ryan when the benchmark is 35 years ago?
