    I posted this in the other thread but I'll post it here also bc I really am curious. Maybe a trade or injury? But why? This move along with the Gallo is very puzzling to me? Who is your bench? Jeffers, Taylor, Farmer and one of Gordon or Solano? Are we running with 14 position players? Are planning on using St Paul as "resting " not official DL place for pitching? This is puzzling.

    I am surprised by the insistence of people that RL will not be ready until the middle of July. I don't buy it. When I was 21 I had the unfortunate experience of tearing my ACL. This was over 20 yrs ago. I can tell you I am not, and never have by any stretch of the imagination, been a world class athlete 🤣. However, I was playing racquetball and basketball 4 months after surgery. I understand it's back to back years and there is pry caution involved due to monatery investment by the team but for 1 would not be surprised to see him playing baseball at a high level before July.

    I don't believe the young guys will be traded. I feel like it is more of the established veteran type like a Polanco, or a Kepler or even Gray that gets traded. If the kids show value in AAA I think the Twins keep that value and trade the more established veteran to a team looking for that one last piece for the playoffs.
  5. pierre75275
    I get that. But if McKenzie and Bieber get injured Cleveland is sunk. If the Twins lose any 2 of Gray/Lopez/Ryan/Mahle they are in a much better situation to still be successful. One could even argue that Cleveland losing 1 of their top guys in the starting staff would be more detrimental to the club than the Twins losing all of their top 3 to injury, whichever top 3 you want to pick.

    If the Twins started a 6 man rotation and also had a 6 man rotation in AAA, the AAA rotation would have more upside than what they trotted out in Minneapolis in 2022 after Ryan and Gray. St Paul could start Winder, SWR, Jordan B, Varland, Ronny H, and Cole Sands. That would assume Ober starts with the big club. That doesn't leave a AAA starting spot even with 6 man rotations at the big club and St Paul for Dobnak, Derek Rodriquez, recently signed Aaron Sanchez, or Jose Deleon. However, if you want to make the argument that Ronny H and Cole Sands should be in the bullpen, than that would open up a spot and with the inevitable injury or two...but it seems to me we have a lot of starters, much higher quality and depth at AAA than we had in the rotation at the big club to start last year. And that doesn't even count Paddock who may be back as soon as July or August.

    Comp A and Comp B picks can be traded by MLB

    I still think once they can put 40 man roster guys on the DL, they will sign a guy like Chafin, Moore, Hand or a Fulmer. If none of those guys are available I think the front office is comfortable rolling with what they have. I also think that's why if Kep gets traded it will be for prospects or a comp round pick or both
  9. pierre75275
    I think the Twins roster is pretty much set, although I would love for them to sign Chafin or Moore. That being said, I think the Twins should over the course of the next year look to trade Kepler and Polanco for the best prospects they can get regardless of position. I just think with the outfielders they have and the infield depth (catcher notwithstanding) and the starting pitching depth that prospects is their best bet
  10. pierre75275
    Is this just insurance for Cellestino (sp?, Sorry) to get some AAA seasoning? And for Lewis to heal up? I can't imagine Lewis will play infield any more on a regular basis with who the starters are. Who does Kepler get traded for now? Bullpen help? I would rather they sign Chafin or Moore. I can't see the Twins keeping Kepler. At this point maybe he is getting traded for prospects.

    I think something is being forgotten here. The Mets were willing to spend almost 50 million a year to get Correa. How much were the Mets willing to have Correa cost them between contract and fees a yr? 60 million? 70 million? At almost a 400 million dollar payroll does 10 or 20 million more a year really make a difference? Does anyone here think that with the Twins former top offer at 28.5 million a year that this is a bidding war they could win? Their best chance to get Correa was before the SFG fiasco not after. Still can't wrap my head around the fact the front office sat on their hands and then put forth an offer for their top priority so much lower than what it would realistically take to get the deal done

    Is it late to hope he fails his physical?
  13. pierre75275
    There was that Tommy Herr trade......
  14. pierre75275
    I agree. Tear it down. Trade away Kepler, Mahle, Gray, Polanco, Arrez, Kenta, and get young controllable talent back. Keep Buxton as the team will be good again before his contract expires. Next off-season sign some good free agents and see what happens.
  15. pierre75275
    Awesome! I mean....not for him but Eric Hosmer has been released by the red Sox. We now have the option to have another no hit left handed batter. Quick!! Let the twins brain trust know!
  16. pierre75275
    It's like they say...when your team is one of the worst hitting teams against left handed pitchers, you can never have to many corner outfielders that are left handed hitters who are strikeout prone.

    Does anyone have any idea why Bailey didn't start? Does he have some sorr of issue?
  18. pierre75275
    I would go to the game. If its okay to go to restaurants and walmart and 7 11 I would go to a baseball game as long as sellable seats were adequately spaced

    Thanks Nick

    1. I love baseball. I go to baseball sites to get opinions on baseball because the the people that run these sites generally have outside the box non cookie cutter BASEBALL OPINIONS and I'm entertained by them. 2. If I want to read about world news or the stock market I don't go to ESPN. That would be silly and I would be disappointed and broke. 3. Last time I checked, this is a free country. Nick can write what he wants, its good to be the king. I'm sure he was aware the fallout would be nuclear but thought it was worth it. 4. Last time I checked it was a free country. If Kep doesnt want to be a role model and doesnt want to follow politics and just wants to play baseball and live his life thats his right. No reason to call him out for it because you feel jilted or disappointed your heros arent what you want them to be. 5. Lastly the comments here by some of the moderators saying the people commenting show why the article needed to be written....please. Just stop. Its a free country. People are going to be and do what they are. You cant control everything. I for one, am sick and tired of Hollywood know it alls and condescending news casters telling me how I should think and believe simply because they think and believe a certain way.
  21. pierre75275
    Come on now. This is a baseball site the last time I checked. We are continually bombarded by what is going on in the news everytime we turn around. We should have someplace to go to where only one thing matters....baseball. No politics, no religion, no anything. Just baseball. Thats it.

    Nice article. Pretty sure that Viola trade happened in Aug 1989 tho.
  23. pierre75275
    Wasnt the left handed reliever David West and not Doug West?
  24. pierre75275
    I think that Brian Harper was under rated
  25. pierre75275
    Surprising to see Arrez with 8 HR already
