    Good Omens today!

    Garver can DH and play first, agreed? I think they even used him in right field in the minors?

    Tampa Bay is a body of water. I'd be interested in seeing a game played there somehow! Nice intro, btw. I especially liked the three game series part....

    Desmond 12:23 Are you concerned at all by Royce Lewis’ slow start? If you’re the Twins would you consider including him in a deal for a high end SP this summer? Eric A Longenhagen 12:23 no and no https://www.jotcast.com/chat/eric-longenhagen-chat-5405.html
  5. Mike Sixel
    Which of those three put it over the top?
  6. Mike Sixel
    They didn't need to save money the Lewis year, they could have signed everyone later.... That said, save money if you can.

    There is no more government waste than business waste. Now, what they spend it on, that's different. To be clear, your message to rural voters is cut defense spending.....?

    THIS THREAD CRASHED MY IPAD!!
  9. Mike Sixel
    They signed all that offense this off season, and only managed a field goal. Of course, unlike the Vikings, they made the field goal....
  10. Mike Sixel
    Fixing rural issues costs money, and rural voters keep voting for tax cutting. What's the message?
  11. Mike Sixel
    Since I can't see the game, I'll assume you aren't talking about over extending his credit to get new floor covering....

    I'm shocked to learn the GoP is doing things to decrease voter access and increase their power at the expense of democracy and freedom. Shocked. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/30/us/census-citizenship-question-hofeller.html

    they value profit over wins? That's my guess.

    J 1:50 I know we're mostly on the draft tip today, but thoughts on Devin Smeltzer and Zack Plesac moving forward this season? Also, is Smeltzer-Plesac an 80's jazz fusion band, or a chemical company? Keith Law 1:50 I'm in on Plesac - had him 14th in Cleveland's system last year, talked him up as a possible starter - less so on Smeltzer, who seems like a reliever to me. Eric 1:57 Byron Buxton is fun and awesome. No question, just wanted to remind everyone. Keith Law 1:57 I agree. One of the most exciting players to watch today. Hell, the Twins are *fun* as a whole.

    GSon 12:54 Twins.. for real or smoke and mirrors? AvatarJay Jaffe 12:55 The young talent is jelling and their +112 run differential is the best in baseball right now. I'm buying in. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/jay-jaffe-fangraphs-chat-5-30-19/
  16. Mike Sixel
    Of course I don't expect FG to be right.....that's not really the point of the posts, though. If their pitching coach can do this again and again, he's the best pitching coach ever.
  17. Mike Sixel
    that's what I meant, it was good to clarify my bad typing!
  18. Mike Sixel
    If the Indians thought those guys would be that good, they would have taken them in round 1........of course players are found later in the draft, over 1000 players are drafted every year.......but the best talent, those most likely to succeed, are taken early. The odds drop drastically after round 1. Of course there are other ways to get pitchers, but the draft is the sustainable way to do so......IFA is just a different kind of draft...... I'm not suggesting not taking good players, I'm suggesting that if you don't take pitchers early as a philosophy, you need to be willing to trade for them and sign them. If you think something like Perez is not a rare event, I'm not sure if we'll agree.....
  19. Mike Sixel
    Meant to add....I too like most of what they've done in the draft.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Once he clears, the claiming team can pay him the minimum......
  21. Mike Sixel
    I have not listened yet....Twins' talk starts around minute 31. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/effectively-wild-episode-1381-minnesota-surprise/
  22. Mike Sixel
    So far, they've done nothing with the money they traded for this year, at least nothing has been reported. I thought Fangraphs had a list of July 2 prospects, but I only see 6 players, so I asked if that was right in today's chat. I'll let you know.
  23. Mike Sixel
    You still need pitching.........I'll ask again, where do you expect them to get 15-20 pitchers in the majors every year, if they don't draft it in the first 3 picks most years? Because they aren't signing elite FAs, and they aren't trading for guys under long term contractural control. You can only get lucky/good with a Perez once every very once in a while.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Congrats to Mr. Smeltzer on his debut! I am very happy for him.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Fangraphs is starting a week of coverage today with Mock 3.0. They have the Twins going 3B, SS, C with their first three picks. Not sure how this team ever develops great pitching if it doesn't draft pitching.
