  1. Nice call! Fun game! Jorge Polanco taking a pay cut to stay in Seattle. Good for him.
  2. I feel ya. How about this guy? https://www.milb.com/wichita/video/twins-no-4-prospect-kaelen-culpepper-s-10th-home-run
  3. I remember thinking AK and Larnach were duplicative and that one should be traded. AK's all-field unicorn swing probably contributed to his wrist issues. Catching the ball out front just "hurts" less and is a much more reliable path to success. It feels like we should have known and traded AK. Now what to do with Royce and Jenkins... Big time gambles to trade OR keep. Being a GM is hard.
  4. Anyone in Seattle going to the game today?
  5. I thought Paddock looked outstanding out of the pen a couple years ago. He's a strike thrower with no pitch mix to speak of? To have a fireman that can come in and not walk guys is big. He's worked so hard to get back into the rotation. Gotta respect that. But... I just wonder if he'd be more effective and healthier as a set-up guy.
  6. Winning fixes almost all club house issues. But leadership and chemistry definitely matter. Baseball players are people. Fun equals energy. Energy equals effort. Effort equals performance. There's hundreds of studies on workplace moral and burnout on productivity. The team gave up a little when we didn't bring back our stopper and rotation leader. They gave up even more when they running out of gas and added nothing at the deadline. Our moldy old summer sausage eventually got... old and moldy.
  7. If Duran wants to start, he's earned that opportunity in my opinion. Starters can make so much more money. 10 innings is more than 3 innings. A run in the first inning is worth the same as a run scored in the 9th. The more your best players play, the better.
  8. Pass a physical and bring an average return in trade. Twins are shredding payroll. Buxton is reasonably priced if he can show a team he's healthy-ish.
  9. Personally, I think Pagan has worth that goes beyond pitching. He's shown incredible resilience and willingness to compete. I think he's a great influence for a young pen. You can't always control results. That's magnified in a relief role. His mentality is sound and even keeled. I'd love to have him back.
  10. Saw a stat where Castro had 60+ chances at third this year without an error. He then made a stellar play at short. And he might be better in the outfield. His speed and energy changes the game. His hit tool is underrated. Some pop and cerebral approach at the plate. Adjusts in the at bat with patience. Closest approach we have to Arraez but without his contact tool.
  11. Is Buxton not allowed in the dugout without a roster spot? Also, didn't Lewis hurt himself at the plate somehow? Never seen a hammy go on a swing. Not a great sign. I'd leave Buck off and trust the other guys to advance and get him a chance later this fall. Win this series for Buck!
  12. I guess I view both as eventually first basemen. Wallner is slightly more natural out there, but he seems stretched range wise already...
  13. Here's how I rank the infield currently: Correa Lewis Polanco Farmer Kiriloff Brooks Lee Solano Miranda Gordon Wallner Julien Larnach Martin Gallo Big disappoints are Larnach and Miranda. Correa is reminding me of the Mauer contract already.... I think we need Polanco, honestly. The young guys are interchangeable and not sure to be better than Farmer, Gordon or Solano.
