    I can and do often. I don't play the lottery but I'll buy a beverage if I'm thirsty.

    I think the Twins still believe in Royce Lewis as the starter for several years but probably want to get him some time in AAA next season since he's coming back from a lost season. There is a cheap, glove-first SS option who will be available as a free agent. Freddy Galvis has been as productive as Simmons with a much smaller paycheck.

    Sometimes, but not often, you win when you buy a lottery ticket. The Yankees won on this scratcher.

    If you cherry pick your first baseman's best 75 game stretch and he still only has an 800 OPS while playing awful defense he's probably not that great.

    Luke Farrell is underrated. I'll bet most people couldn't tell you he is on the roster but he's been effective in the bullpen which is more than you can say about most of their relievers. Just a few days ago I was pretty sure he would get released but now I think they might keep him around for another season.

    I think Josh Donaldson is underrated. He gets endless grief from fans because he makes money but he's one of the few players earning his paycheck this season.
  7. DJL44
    I guess if your plan for 2022 is to finish ahead of the Royals.

    Pineda is one of the pitchers the Twins must replace with a better option if they want to contend. Does anyone want to see Pineda starting a playoff game?
  9. DJL44
    He's using an unusual fastball delivery to get good results. Eventually big league hitters will adjust and he'll need to use his secondary pitches.
  10. DJL44
    The "he hasn't made an error at SS" argument is pretty ridiculous. He's been a below average fielder at 2B and 3B. What about that makes you think he'd be a good option at SS? Nick Gordon is one of the players they need to replace if they want to contend.
  11. DJL44
    What else are they going to spend money on? Starting pitching is their biggest need. They're probably not going to sign a shortstop to a big contract with Royce Lewis in the minors. The rest of the lineup is average or better at their position. The pitching staff has one pitcher with a WAR above 0.8 - Bailey Ober. They need as many as 10 pitchers on the 40 man roster to be replaced with better talent to contend. Of course they need to obtain some of that pitching through free agency.
  12. DJL44
    I think they need to move on from Sano and move Donaldson to 1B.
  13. DJL44
    Who will be the new Bob Tewksbury?
  14. DJL44
    He's no Brian Dozier
  15. DJL44
    Injured or consistently terrible (or both) is representative of the 2021 Twins.
  16. DJL44
    I think you released this article about 6 months too early.
  17. DJL44
    If pitching as well as Berrios is so damned easy how come almost nobody else can do it? He's one of the top 30 pitchers in the league.
  18. DJL44
    Is Falvey a car guy? Austin Martin, Mercedes, Rolls Royce.
  19. DJL44
    Agreed, they need to bring in as many pitchers in that price range as possible.
  20. DJL44
    I'm guessing Randy Dobnak
  21. DJL44
    Last year was one of the hardest to judge for that draft with no minor league season to go on. These players have developed into big league prospects over the course of this season. I don't think Jovani Moran would have been successful in the majors in April. I'm not entirely sure he'll be successful in September.
  22. DJL44
    Sano is the guy I'd be looking to trade. He offers the least bang for the buck. Expect Miranda to bounce back and forth between AAA and the big leagues next season.
  23. DJL44
    The way this season is going I would guess the day they designate Andrelton Simmons for assignment is the day before two other infielders end up on the disabled list.
  24. DJL44
    I was pretty sure we were going to see Ryan make his debut due to Maeda's injury but then I saw that Dobnak made a rehab start and I think I've changed my mind. Dobnak will come up before Ryan. There isn't an everyday spot for Miranda at the moment. Even if Sano or Donaldson got hurt that would just open a regular spot for Arraez.
  25. DJL44
    How many of the people saying "he was rushed" are the same people who accuse the Twins management of promoting too slowly and want to promote every minor league player after a hot week?
