    They can't fall behind in a best of 5 series. Pablo must start game 1 and Gray pitches game 2. They would only be starting on 4 days rest.

    Duran would be best in the Andrew Miller role if the Twins had another guy they could trust to close on a daily basis. Duran also needs to mix in some off speed stuff to keep them off balance. If not they will just be picking a location and sitting on the fastball. It might be 104 but hitters can time it out. That's why the threat of an off speed pitch needs to be used more often.

    My thoughts on resting players would be more like playing them like 3-4 innings or so. Let them get 2 AB and pull some of them. Correa should be the main target for being rested. They need him at his best for the playoffs and not so much now of course. Same could go with the big 3 in the rotation. I would try to find a way to limit them in a way but still get them their work in.

    It wasn't for massive money so it was a good gamble on the Twins part.

    Makes you wonder if the Twins put Buxton on waivers if anyone would have claimed him. I almost agree on shutting him down for the rest of this season and 2024 and hope for a good 2025. That's a bleak outlook for sure. I hope the contract is insured.

    Too bad MLB can't be like fantasy sports. Once a team claims a player they go to the bottom of the list.
  7. darin617
    I would trade 20 losing seasons for another World Series title. We still have the Saints in town.
  8. darin617
    The Reds will claim at least one of the pitchers. I just want to get Moore. Put him in closer role and slide Duran into the Andrew Miller role as the rally stopper.
  9. darin617
    Teams still have to deal with waiver priority. It's not like they are automatically free agents. The system isn't broken.
  10. darin617
    They had no choice to try to push. Unless they wanted to give up and trade Ohtani, even though they were still in the hunt.
  11. darin617
    I don't get why people are ripping the Angels for doing this. They made a push and made some trades at the deadline. Then Trout is back to the IL and then those lose Ohtani as a pitcher. If they all get claimed they free up some money and give them some roster spots to develop some young players. If more teams were smart they would be doing the same.

    Nice debut tonight. I am upset that the Twins didn't get him with the water or gatorade when he got interviewed after the game. Careers are too short and you never want to miss out on getting a little post game celebration.
  13. darin617
    People also forget about the money the team would make from Japan for the broadcast rights to the Twins games. Angels were getting 30M a year from Japan.
  14. darin617
    Just think if the Twins didn't give that massive mistake of a contract to Correa. Then you could really step into the Ohtani sweepstakes for real.
  15. darin617
    The best use of Duran would have been in the Andrew Miller role like Cleveland did with him. Only problem is the Twins were too cheap to add a solid RP when there were so many available late in free agency.
  16. darin617
    Is there any point into rushing him up this season? Nobody can actually think the Twins have a good enough team to even get out of the first round. And to be honest, the Twins still have win the division before we get to that point.
  17. darin617
    I don't think it would have mattered either way. Which makes no sense why the Twins go out and spent a ton on Correa and then decide to play it smart and not make any moves.
  18. darin617
    There were so many bullpen options available in January and the Twins were too cheap to add an arm or 2.
  19. darin617
    Exactly, they should have dealt Gray or Maeda if they weren't going to do anything to improve the team. They could have easily dealt one of them and still won the crappy division.
  20. darin617
    Pitchers don't need to throw 100 mph to get people out. I'm not calling Keuchel the best pitchers ever either. Go look back at Greg Maddux and Tom Glavine. They never threw hard but knew how to pitch. To be honest, with everyone trying to hit a home run every time coming up all a pitcher needs is the ability to effectively change speeds and have great location with their pitches and these hitters would have no chance.
  21. darin617
    If a player is going to get it doesn't matter what position they play. I still would like to know what is exactly wrong with Buxton "physically". Isn't this like buying a new car and not driving it?
  22. darin617
    If they can get a haul for Sonny Gray I wouldn't pass it up. Twins will win a bad division and get swept by a wild card team. Only other option is to keep Gray and extend a qualifying offer and get a pick when he rejects it. I would rather take the prospects that are MLB ready over a pick any day. It would be different if the Twins were playing like leaders.
  23. darin617
    If he gets recalled he needs to play every day. So Farmer gets demoted to the bench?
  24. darin617
    Correa to bench and call up Lewis..
  25. darin617
    You they should have added a piece to the pen in the winter. Now they will end up trading prospects in July to shore it up.
