    They need defense as much as they need offense. Better defense improves the rotation AND the bullpen. I am with you regarding no specialists. They can't have bench players who are lousy at defense and only hit lefthanded pitching well. Rocco will pinch hit for his LH starter in the 3rd inning and the hitting and defense will suffer for the rest of the game.

    He's not the MVP. You successfully contradicted your entire article.
  3. DJL44
    This team was 82-80 and just missed the playoffs despite losing Correa and Ryan for months. I know they were bad in September but they were also really good in June.
  4. DJL44
    Every plate appearance Castro took away from Margot, Martin and Julien made the team better defensively. Keeping Miranda away from 3B makes the team better defensively. Buxton and Correa missed large chunks of the season. Without Castro they could have had the worst defense other than the White Sox.
  5. DJL44
    You're wrong. The throw from LF to 3B is much shorter than the throw from RF. If you want to keep baserunners from going first to third you need the arm in RF. Why do you think Shannon Stewart played LF?
  6. DJL44
    Wallner will be in RF. He has a plus arm and the small RF at Target Field should compensate for his issues with range. Larnach is a decent fielding LF when he isn't hobbled with turf toe. Rodriguez has barely seen AAA and Jenkins has barely seen AA. Neither is an option at the start of the season.
  7. DJL44
    What is the point of a rebuild? Tear it all down, watch the team come one starting pitcher, two relievers and one bat away from contention (where they are currently) and tear it all down again? A recurring cycle of half-trying followed by a stretch where they aren't trying at all?
  8. DJL44
    Irvin is a free agent. >3 years of service time and not on the 40 man roster.
  9. DJL44
    Not a bad idea. Jo Adell can replace Margot for less money but with a better glove.

    Saints games are more fun for kids anyway.

    They could also do a combination of the above. Keep Paddack until the trade deadline and deal him before he inevitably wears down at the end of the season.
  13. DJL44
    Castro was a below average CF. Martin was the worst CF in MLB. There's a big gap between them.
  14. DJL44
    Martin cannot play SS, 3B or RF like Castro. For that matter he can't play any position defensively as well as Castro. The utility guy is supposed to be on the team to catch the ball. I wouldn't use Martin as a defensive replacement for any position player on the team. The Twins need MORE defense, not less.
  15. DJL44
    I expect all of these players to be tendered a contract. Some might get traded.
  16. DJL44
    except catch the ball
  17. DJL44
    I don't have any hope that he will somehow become a good defender at LF or 1B so it's really about his bat. Can he hit the ball well enough to play every day or is he Randy Bush?

    I found Rob Antony's very sad LinkedIn page (26) Rob Antony | LinkedIn
  19. DJL44
    Anyone know what Rob Antony is doing now? Maybe he and Levine can play golf next summer. I wonder which one of them said "Hey, let's give Joey Gallo $11M. We only have a five LH hitting outfielders on the roster." I wonder if the "Falvine" moniker upsets Falvey. He's the main decision maker but has to share credit. That could be enough to let him go.
  20. DJL44
    Danny De Andrade is the 2nd best SS prospect they have.
  21. DJL44
    Or they could give the front office a "right-sizing".
  22. DJL44
    Falvey interview on si.com makes it sound like they will just eliminate the position.
  23. DJL44
    He's their best option at 2B. He's not the best option in CF (Keirsey) or SS (Lee) if there is an injury to the starter at those positions.

    I heard someone comment that every Matthews pitch breaks in the same direction, it's just how much they break. That could be a problem that can only be fixed by adding a pitch like a sinker or splitter to go with the slider. A split-change could help him a lot.
