  1. Kimbrel could make a lot of money over the next 5 months. Two questions: 1) Will he sign a 1 year deal? 2) Can he get in top pitching shape by August, since he has missed the first third of the season?
  2. Yes, if the bullpen is strengthened with a Mariano Rivera-type reliever. I know there is only 1 "Mo"., however there is one free agent reliever available who might possibly help. Hint: It is not the one who shoots arrows.
  3. Maybe the Twins "flipped" him for another player.
  4. "We need to kill the idea that Sano is a bad clubhouse presence." wrote Brock Beauchamp 5-10-19 in response to my question: "Is anyone else worried that the addition of Sano to the lineup may upset the existing major league leading chemistry?" Brock had a point. But maybe so did I.
  5. When he runs to 1B after hitting the ball, he reminds me of Rod Carew. Arraez has been a pleasant surprise. He was not even rated in the TD top 20 prospects, and probably not in the top 20 prospects of any of TD's readers. I knew he could hit, but I have also been impressed with his fielding.
  6. That Dozier trade is looking better every day.
  7. How much better would you feel about the Twins' chances if the Twins had Bumgarner and Kimbrel?
  8. Right down the middle of the plate. Noooo.
  9. The guy who is leading the American League in average, bunts in the perfect situation for a bunt and gets a single,,,then another Mariner error allows a run to score and Polanco goes to second.. You gotta love that.
  10. I had predicted 94 wins this year for the Twins in a previous post before the season began. You can look it up. I stand by that..
  11. Thanks for that slap in the face Tom. I needed that.
  12. Really enjoyable article. Thanks for this perspective. I'll travel to Minneapolis from North Carolina for the World Series. I'll need a list of local-favorite restaurants and the name of a hotel across the street from the ballpark. Also I want he address of Twins Daily World Headquarters so I can visit all you writers. I'm getting excited. (I'm not kidding.)
  13. Pitches thrown side armed must be ineffective, or more pitchers would be throwing them.
  14. I hate it for Hildy...but it had to be done. Once the draft is over, should we sign Kimbrel? YES ! I don't see anyone else in the Twins' farm system who could step right in as #1 reliever. Signing Kimbrel will improve the whole relief corps by moving each reliever down one notch. Just like signing Cruz and MarGo...it seems so logical to sign Kimbrel.
  15. Whew. This is just the start of the second quarter of the season. I hope this continues to be a meaningful season in terms of a pennant race. I know, I know...one game at a time.
