  1. We have to throw at them, or they'll keep hitting us....over and over.
  2. I was told that if the Twins intentionally threw at other players, they'd neve be hit again....
  3. Farmer starting at 2B.....after Margot starts against a righty. People need to stop defending these two being on the roster for "platoon" reasons.....
  4. In fairness, Kepler might be hurt.....but I agree in general.
  5. He'd have to be in AA next year to do that.... I'm confident he's elite, I'm suggesting this idea we should slow roll his progress is inconsistent with that.
  6. He's not a number two catcher. He catches more games than Jeffers.
  7. That's, of course, not what I said. And neither put up a 7 wrc+.... I said if we are going to fairly discuss this, we can't hand wave the bad.
  8. I dont agree with bean much, but elite prospects don't spend four years in the minors.... They move fast. This idea that we should slow the roll is not consistent with him being a top ten prospect at all.
  9. So we're going to ignore the first two months isy the year and last year, and only talk about the good stuff? Seems like a legit analysis.
  10. He's already in the top 100 on multiple lists. I'd say he's going to finish in the top 75 or better.
  11. Kiersey! (hahahaha, no, they won't) A RP for sure.
  12. The Twins aren't adding Berrios, who makes 18+ million per year until he's 34 years old. No chance. He has his lowest strikeout percentage in years this year. I don't know why anyone thinks this is going to happen, on a team that cut payroll this off season.
  13. He can be stretched out in a week or two. Someone else can make an emergency start if needed. I hope you're correct about next year. They're wasting his arm trying to keep him a starter. I agree I'm tilting at windmills here 😀
  14. That zero teams want him? He's not good anymore?
  15. All those guys better this year than their career? Nervous....
  16. He's not a starter. Make him a RP in the regular season so he has experience in tight situations. They refused to move Jax for years on the tiny chance he was a starter.
  17. It really isn't a rough decision to move on from Farmer. He offers nothing at this point that Martin doesn't do better. Once he or Lewis is healthy, move on. It costs like half a million dollars to do so.
  18. I'm not confident about Stewart, alas. They seem very reluctant to move varland, as they were with Jax. I'd move him for sure, and that might take care of the bullpen. There is no cheap, great, starter out there, not for a team bent on cutting payroll. I still think if they want to add a starter, they'll be forced to deal Kepler to offset the cost.
  19. What young guys? SWR is the only guy without at least three years of pitching. The others were all in the playoffs last year. The bullpen has one young guy.
  20. Twins are one of two teams with five top 100 prospects. They have one of the top third systems in the game, and have four top 100 picks in this year's draft. I didn't think the industry agrees with you in the condition of the farm. The major league team is easily one of the 8 best teams in all of baseball, with Lewis mostly hurt and Lopez struggling. It needs a really good LH reliever and elite starter. If you aren't trading for them last year or this year, you aren't ever doing so.
  21. Ate some green beans from the garden, and kale and onions, parsley, basil. A couple sweet tomatoes. The beans do not like 100 degree weather.... But the tomatoes and basil look great. The random potato plants aren't growing much, but we'll have enough grapes to feed the neighborhood.
