  1. Badoo is in the minors, and not coming back soon unless something changes. He was in A ball, and the Twins were coming off a playoff season where they needed to be protecting guys VERY LIKELY to help in the next year or two. I'm baffled at the takes on him, given the context of what the Twins needed, and the likelihood anyone would keep him in the majors all year given his history.
  2. If I'm dealing for a catcher, it is a package with the A's to get Montas......and one of their catchers. But I'm not ready to give up on Jeffers like some are.
  3. Plus, they literally started the year with AK in the lineup. Then put him back in right away the first time he came back from injury. The evidence is clear it isn't about service time.
  4. It is clearly their plan. A plan which seems to be keeping him healthy and effective. I hope at some point he and Winder can piggyback.....as Winder won't be pitching a HUGE amount of innings this year.
  5. Zero "stat geeks" have said BA doesn't matter. Sigh. Arraez has been amazing this year (and last). It really is special what he's doing right now.
  6. Stop with the reasonable take! This is a message board for goodness sake.
  7. Based on what evidence? And they aren't buying Miranda's service time? Why is every move evil or wrong? Maybe, just maybe, they have a plan that is about the team continuing to have the division lead?
  8. Untouchable? I think he has a chance to be very good, but why untouchable? Unless you aren't trading any good prospects?
  9. Soto will be DFA very quickly. You aren't doing that with Kiriloff. Maybe we wait to see if Ryan and Grey are healthy, them go down a pitcher. Or maybe the front office and manager that are on pace to win the division three of fory years are what you all keep saying.
  10. Must be in the duplicate thread, or I'm not reading them right. But that's how I read them.
  11. 500 at bats and people want to throw him to the curb. Unreal.
  12. "he's terrible, we should trade him for a really good RP"...... Look, Sands is like 8th or so on the depth chart. Unfortunately, teams need that once in awhile. He's made how many starts now, and people think that he should be traded? He's not good enough to be a regular starter, and likely won't ever be. That doesn't mean he doesn't have value to a team like the Twins. He might be better as a RP....and I'd consider making him one.
  13. Who are the 5 pitchers better than Montas next year (or this)? He's better (and healthier) than any Twins pitcher. By the logic of the last sentence, you never trade for anyone at the deadline, I guess? Oakland also has two catchers playing better than Jeffers right now....and a RP or two.....if you really want to do a blockbuster.
  14. While it isn't my first choice, it's not like Polanco can't play SS ... if they don't have another option next year. Also, I get this site needs daily content, but I really don't get why we are talking about this in June...
  15. I literally have no idea your point here at all.
  16. They have CC.... This thread is about a backup. What even is this post?
  17. He's 25? I'm not worried yet. I'm not thrilled either. It is surprising, as he was viewed as a bat first guy. 500 at bats is nothing . Good thing they didn't give up on Torii that fast.
  18. They did win, right? They won the division two of the last three years, right? They have one of the best records in the league? It's very hard to tell....
  19. As I said in the other thread, because we need lots of the same threads here for some reason, accidents happen. Why is that so hard to accept? No one did anything wrong. I feel bad for Lewis. Good luck to him in his recovery.
  20. They changed the ball about four weeks ago.... At least according to all the data.
  21. Before Lewis got hurt, I'd have had my doubts he'd be a Twin next year. Now? I'm sure he will.
  22. What does that mean, they don't need him to reach AAA this year? If he's ready, he should be there. It isn't like AAA is filled with players right now. Also, isn't AA three levels?
  23. It's obviously disappointing to lose a game where your offense is that good. But I think this week shows the twins can play with these teams. They are still on pace to win 90 plus games. With the return of some better pitchers, I think fans can feel good about the future. It's clear they need bullpen help, though.
