  1. Defense counts too..... And he replaces Lamarre on the roster.... At least move him to AAA.
  2. I was responding to the post that "no reasonable projection" would have him ever be good....... we aren't sure one way or the other....but his defense has to be MUCH better than Grossman's, and Buxton is out for some time. Let's find out if he's going to be good or not, or at least expose him to MLB pitching, or at least gather data.
  3. Plenty of other teams promote young players to the majors.....it would be nice to see the Twins be more aggressive than they have been (and no, I'm not saying put him in the majors right now, I'm saying promote him before he's ready, to challenge him and get him here faster).
  4. I don't think people realize how few pitchers finish six innings anymore, and how the game has changed. I know I struggled with this, until a couple years ago. But, the world has changed. Starters don't throw as many innings as we think. Like it or not, it just is.
  5. there is no need to send grossman down...DFA Lamarre. Or a random RP, and cycle thru RPs from MLB to AAA. Really, no need to do anything with grossman at all.
  6. fangraphs projects him to be a better hitter than Rosario.....so, no. that isn't correct.
  7. I don't go by just numbers, especially one year numbers. Also, defense.
  8. ? we have some posters saying you can't go to MLB from AA, because you need to face AAA pitching....we have some saying you don't need to go to AAA? Gordon should be in AAA, now. Wade should be in MN, or AAA, now. The players there are better. Some are former MLB players.
  9. Maybe they should have more than zero position players in AAA? So, you know, if there is an issue?
  10. It's a fair concern, I don't agree, but it's fair. If he's not here in 2019....and Dozier is gone (he will be), ugh.
  11. I prefer the teams that like youth, and challenge them. He's a top prospect. He should be in AAA now, and maybe Minnesota. Certainly in Minnesota this year, so he's ready to be here next year.
  12. If you missed it on the fangraphs....thread here.....there is a long read on Lynn on rotographs.
  13. Any legit backup OF....many here called for them to do so this off season. Call up Wade already....heck, projection systems think he'll be better on offense than Rosario right now....
  14. I don't recall anyone saying the front office did nothing. I do recall people questioning some of the specific moves. This core lives and dies in Sano and Buxton. Buxton can't hit or stay healthy. Sano can hit, but not enough, and can't stay healthy. That does not excuse their other issues at all. But they need to fix those two players, badly. In the meantime, Wade should be in a corner OF spot. I'd consider promoting Gordon. The FO is not without blame. The kinley move was always a bad idea. There are zero position players in AAA, and no, that isn't normal. The manager needs to move Dozier to the three hole. He needs to manage the pitchers better. I have no confidence Rosario will ever figure it out. He's been a professional ballplayer for how long now? On the plus side, Kepler is legit
