    I still like the Christian Vazquez signing more.
  2. DJL44
    I'm not either but I also think he's not likely to get a whole lot better. He's sort of useful but unlikely to be a high leverage guy.
  3. DJL44
    Pitching like this he's likely 4 year $100M+ in the offseason. Enjoy this year, give him the QO and get the draft pick. He's been fantastic so far, a clear All-Star candidate.
  4. DJL44
    He pitched 5 innings, 6 innings, then got hit in the foot by a line drive after 2 innings. I don't see this statement backed up by any evidence.

    I don't. I think Lewis is a better baseball player and the Twins are a better team with Lewis at 3B long term instead of Miranda. Do I want Michael Taylor to fail if I think the Twins are better off with Buxton in CF? Miranda's biggest problem at the moment is his lack of power. Just 2 extra base hits in 96 plate appearances. He's better than that. The batting average and walks are not a big surprise, just slightly below expectations. He's only 2 hits below last season's rate for AVG/OBP. In two weeks he will have played one season's worth of games in the big leagues. Then you can start to project based on that larger sample of work.

    Patiently waiting for Royce Lewis to take his job.
  7. DJL44
    Nope. 25th, almost the same as Seattle and better than the Dodgers, A's, Padres, Tigers and Royals.
  8. DJL44
    I read he needs four root canals next week so probably a little while longer.
  9. DJL44
    This could be the worst attended weekend series of the season. Weather looks awful.

    RE: Not stealing due to the injury risk - at some point you need to use the players to play baseball.

    Twins just saw their TV rights cut in half by the judge https://sports.yahoo.com/diamond-rsns-must-pay-50-191231384.html
  12. DJL44
    If Maeda is on the IL they can recall Varland or Ober without making a 40 man roster move.
  13. DJL44
    Not to mention he's the backup CF on the roster if Taylor gets hurt.
  14. DJL44
    Nobody is going to want Bumgarner in their rotation. Someone might want to turn him into a reliever (lefthanded and breathing) but would probably want to make that conversion in AAA. I'm not sure Bumgarner wants to go back to AAA, he might just go home to his ranch. Maybe the Rays could convince him to sign with Durham.
  15. DJL44
    I actually hope the Rays get out of St. Petersburg and INTO Tampa. They could draw fans if they weren't surrounded by water on all sides.
  16. DJL44
    Last offer from the local government was $400M toward the new stadium in Oakland. Smart decision by the city of Oakland to not bankrupt itself when locals who want to see MLB can take the ferry to a Giants game. They could move the Las Vegas AAA team to Oakland and we could see the Oakland Oaks return to the Pacific Coast League.
  17. DJL44
    Someone else will get hurt by then. It's nearly impossible to keep 13 players all healthy at the same time. The worrying about "What will we do when everyone is healthy?" is like worrying "What if the Tuesday night Royals game sells out at Target Field?".
  18. DJL44
    Just like every other lineup in major league baseball. The Twins are just slightly below average at striking out. The Washington Nationals are a league best 110 Ks but they also don't hit any home runs.
  19. DJL44
    It is an open question whether Varland has passed Ober on the depth chart.
  20. DJL44
    Varland already looks like one of the 5 best options for the rotation. I don't see a reason to stash him in AAA another season.
  21. DJL44
    The surplus value of this extension (estimated $30M) makes the Arraez trade a clear win for the Twins.
  22. DJL44
    I think Gray and Mahle will get a qualifying offer (less confident on Maeda). One of them might accept it.
  23. DJL44
    Great move
  24. DJL44
    In this case it's auto-incorrect
  25. DJL44
    I will guess in May.
