  1. Anyone else think it is odd that Hockenson is out with an ear infection and vows to be ready by week 1? Like, that's one bad ear infection!
  2. For your reading "pleasure"....if you can't stomach an entire article, read the last paragraph! https://blogs.fangraphs.com/the-twins-are-pushing-the-strikeout-beyond-the-borders-of-the-known/
  3. Wallner plays yesterday, but not today? I'm confused at the tactics here.....
  4. Sands and Gallo can make room on the 40, easy. They are in the bottom five in CF production. Are we trying to win, or just tread water? Martin now has five AAA homeruns...... Zero need to bring back Gordon..
  5. Baltimore also is talking about moving.. So far, the Twins aren't....
  6. The A's deal isn't final at all. As for the OP, posturing. I could see Baltimore moving, because their other is a true loser and Tennessee will roll over and hand him money and land
  7. The angels are an example of why a meddling owner is a bad idea, especially when combined with terrible drafting.
  8. to be clear, I don't expect this. For some reason they are content with guys that can't produce heading into the playoffs, instead of taking a chance to be better. Fear is no way to win anything in life.
  9. Twins are near the bottom of the majors in CF production....and it isn't close. Martin should be the starting CF right now. If it doesn't work, put MAT back in.....DFA Gallo or Sands to make room.
  10. Not aggressive at all. Many teams have already done this. If the Twins don't, I'll be disappointed.
  11. The irony of people posting these thoughts from the powerful devices our phones have become is not lost on me...
  12. I wasn't suggesting it at all..... Just posting for posting on that part. The actual point was the first part.
  13. So, the colts say he's not worth paying like an elite player, but they want a return for an elite player? What team is doing this? Didn't he miss half the year with an ankle injury? Cine and Booth for Taylor, who says no?
  14. How many billions were spent to get that super insight?
  15. Hopefully they didn't buy lucid stock like someone I won't name did. Sigh.
  16. I like Polanco. I don't think I keep him.... 1. He's not very good defensively. You want a good defensive bench guy to replace Julien late in games. Who is your backup SS if he's on the roster and Farmer isn't? 2. He's not been healthy for two years. Not sure why he would be next year. 3. He blocks young players. THIS FO has shown they LOVE veterans. I mean, Julien was great in replacing Polanco the first time, but was sent down and was only up again because Polanco got hurt a second time. I don't trust this FO to give Lee or Severino shots next year if Polanco is on the roster. 4. He's better than many teams' 2b, and has trade value. 5. That's a good chuck of change for a backup. 6. He's not ever going to be demoted to AAA for depth reasons. If they do keep him, I hope they are smart enough to move on if he doesn't play well (Gallo indicates that's unlikely) or if Lee and/or Severino are mashing next year.
  17. I would never have guessed it was that bad had I not looked....that's why context is so important when looking at value. Everyone else is just better.....
  18. As chief pointed out above, there weren't openers then either....it isn't "new analytics" at all.
  19. Free Austin Martin! On a more serious note, you gotta like what Pierson Ohl is doing. I also retract all the nice things I said about Dobnak two weeks ago (in my defense, I was traveling in Europe and was just in a good mood).
  20. I like this team's odds of being a division winner the next few years, if they trust their farm system and keep supplementing the SP with outside arms.....now if we could figure out the RP....
  21. I have no idea if Severino is better or worse at the MLB level....but it would be hard to be worse at this point. I wish Gallo had worked out, it was an interesting risk (though more money than needed, imo).
