    Jose Miranda has definitely cooled off. Last 28 days split - .243/.325/.379. Time to make an adjustment.
  2. DJL44
    I agree, this is a garbage hot take. Do you just hate whoever is getting paid the most?
  3. DJL44
    Raising prices isn't going to help their falling attendance. You will see a lot of discounting to try to get people in the door. 12% is a huge increase on already expensive tickets to a half-empty stadium.
  4. DJL44
    I'm sure Matt Wallner's friends and family are not going to stay home and avoid Target Field because they already saw him play at CHS Field.
  5. DJL44
    They usually like the teenagers to attend high school until the FCL starts rather than playing A-ball.
  6. DJL44
    I agree with this, though they did make bold moves this past offseason dealing away Donaldson and Garver (both positive moves), extending Buxton, signing Correa and trading for Gray. Buying at the trade deadline is almost never a net positive for an organization. This offseason's bold decisions will involve Kepler and Polanco and perhaps Urshela and Gray,

    Scratch-off tickets are cheap but the odds are terrible
  8. DJL44
    I wanted them to sign both.
  9. DJL44
    I don't trust any prospect who hasn't seen AA yet. That's a big jump and it exposes a lot of players flaws.
  10. DJL44
    I doubt they trade Gray in the offseason. They have a hard enough time acquiring pitching and he'll return just as much if they trade him at the deadline next summer.
  11. DJL44
    If the Twins had decided to stand pat at the deadline the collapse would have happened the same way. People would be upset they didn't even try in a season where they were in first place. I agree, teams need to take a risk. They won't all work out. They shouldn't all work out. If all your trades work out then you probably aren't making enough of them.
  12. DJL44
    No, they sold high on Berrios. They'd be selling low on Mahle and Maeda.
  13. DJL44
    The Mets just pulled Max Scherzer after 6 perfect innings and 65 pitches. This is not just a Twins philosophy.
  14. DJL44
    They're also going to sell some tickets to hometown fans who want to see Varland and Wallner play at Target Field.
  15. DJL44
    They can do a lot better than Palacios if Correa leaves. Thankfully it isn't either/or.
  16. DJL44
    Not only that, he was a 5th year senior sign who was drafted in round 10 mainly because he would have a small bonus and the money could be assigned to other draft picks. He's hit the snot out of the ball at the professional level.
  17. DJL44
    I like this idea. He needs to be added to the 40 man roster. I would never worry about service time for pitchers. Use them when they're healthy.
  18. DJL44
    Ohtani has me intrigued. He should pitch one of those days.
  19. DJL44
    They do consistently underperform when it comes to infield defense. Correa won a Platinum glove and this season he was slightly above average.
  20. DJL44
    Gray just gave them $8M in surplus value this season. He's a good bet to repeat his performance next season or could return prospects in trade if they go that route instead. They definitely spent some prospect capital this season but Gray has at least contributed positively.
  21. DJL44
    They were in first place until the end of August. This team is a long ways away from being a World Series contender but they could win the AL Central with a little better health and a little development from the younger players. I'm not sure they should try to just win the AL Central. They feel like the 2020-21 Reds but I might just be saying that because they have most of the Reds starting pitchers.
  22. DJL44
    The only reason this team has a chance of contending is the Central division will probably be terrible again next season and they have the room in the budget to buy a contender if they are so inclined.
  23. DJL44
    Disagree. He's hitting .241 at Double-A. That isn't playable in the big leagues, his average will be below .200. He has already shown he doesn't play elite SS defense and that is what it takes to carry a bat that weak. He doesn't need 25 HR power but he does need to hit the ball hard enough to ISO above .100. He had an ISO of .200 at Vanderbilt.

    The MRI came back negative for structural damage. Tyler Mahle on injured list with shoulder strain (mlb.com)
  25. DJL44
    It's a better strategy in the bottom of the inning knowing the other team didn't score than it is in the top of the inning when a 2 run HR gives you a bigger cushion.
