    After watching C-4 make those 2 great plays at SS just now, please disregard what I said last night about when will Lewis be moved to SS and C-4 to 3B. I was wrong. Let C-4 play SS as long as he wants to. He is incredible.

    Would you also propose this equation: Defense<Defense+Hitting? And would you agree for for Buck his playing equation is Buck's Defense>Hitting? If so maybe Buck should only be a defensive replacement in CF and not bat. Look, I don't fault Buck at all, but he has not been helping this team this year by batting DH. There are better options for DH for the Twins in 2023.

    My point is that it depends on how much he has to exert himself on the basepaths. Accelerating quickly, stopping suddenly, touching raised bases as a runner races full speed past them, sliding into fielders, diving headfirst back to first base in response to a pickoff are arguably as taxing physically as catching 3 to 6 balls hit to CF, some of which require very little physical effort and some of which may require running at full speed and diving, similar to running the bases and sliding headfirst. I usually agree with almost all of your posts, CH, but on this one I must respectfully disagree with you.

    I guess with that logic, we should also hope Byron doesn't go 5 for 5 with a triple and 2 doubles and 2 singles and 3 stolen bases.

    Depends on the definition of "ramping up". Sometimes rest and heal is all a player can do on the IL.

    Ted, You present quite the conundrum.
  8. tarheeltwinsfan
    Great road trips and great report. Thanks.

    What a great video about my kind of place. Family owned, unique, beer and bras on the ceiling.

    Thanks Goat. That was a "Minnesota nice" comment.

    Hit 'em where they ain't.

    Great guide John. Will a similar guide be forthcoming to TD about Minneapolis to help us North Carolinians who have not been to Minneapolis since 1987 & 1988 (Mark Davidson invited me both times to see the Twins play some great baseball at the Metro Dome) when we come to town for the playoffs Oct 3rd?

    Bash, bash.
  14. tarheeltwinsfan
    I confess I mishmashed.

    I would put Royce Lewis #1 (who will probably take over SS when C-4 moves to 3B in several years), Jenkins #2, Kirilloff #3, Julian #4, Wallner #5, Lee #6, Duran #7, E. Rodriguez #8, Soto #9, and Raya #10. Obviously, I am emphasizing potential more than Cody is in his rankings, and that's OK. The Twins need more high ceiling young pitchers in the system.
  16. tarheeltwinsfan
    Interesting proposal to put Buck at 1B. I don't recall having seen that proposal before. I am interested in reading the pros and cons of that move.
  17. tarheeltwinsfan
    Where do I order my playoff tickets?
  18. tarheeltwinsfan
    Kirilloff looks good at 1B. Lewis looks good at 3B. Polo does not look good at 3B. Gallo went 4 for 4 last night with 2 homers. Where did that come from? Where will Lee play next year?

    My grandparents lived in Washington, DC, where I was born. Although I moved to North Carolina when I was 5, I became a Washington Senators fan in 1954 during a visit to my grandparents' home in DC. Plus the Charlotte minor league team was a Senators farm team for years and we got the Charlotte newspaper. Who couldn't pull for Clint "Scrapiron" Courtney, Lyle Lutrell. Angel Scull, Wayne Terwilliger, Harmon Killebrew, Bob Allison, Jim Lemon, Camilo "Little Potato" Pascual, Pedro "The Yankee Killer" Ramos, Eddie "Walking Man" Yost, Roy Sievers, Cookie Lavagettoa and Chuck Dressen as managers, Chuck Stobbs, Little Albie Pearson, etc. And, as they say, the rest is history.

    I spent a week there one day.

    For 2024, who is the weakest fielding infielder among Lee, Lewis and Julien? It is Julien. The other 2 can play major league shortstop. Therefore leave Lewis and Lee flanking Correa in some manner and move Julien to LF. It shouldn't be too difficult for Julien to manage playing LF. The Twins would have 3 shortstops playing 3B, SS and 2B. I like that infield with Kirilloff at 1B. Now about CF? I'm perfectly happy with MAT manning CF and Willi Castro at utility and designated runner and Solano at pinch hitter and utility. Farmer can back up at SS, 2b and 3B. Wallner in RF. Jeffers and Vasquez at catcher.
  22. tarheeltwinsfan
    All comments make very good points. Thank you.
  23. tarheeltwinsfan
    Where do you think Julian will be?
  24. tarheeltwinsfan
    Career against left handed pitchers BA - .262; OPB - .328; SLG - .449; OPS - .777. This year has been worse as expected. He can play 1B, OF and DH. Mancini's fielding is not as good as Gallo's but he would be an extremely low cost, RH hitter. Mancini, a survivor of colon cancer, was one of the first to reach out to Liam Hendricks, when Hendricks was diagnosed with cancer. A classy move.

    Last night's game spoke volumes about Polonco playing 3B. He was moved to 2B because he didn't have the arm nor the legs to play SS, Why should Rocco or the FO expect him to be able to throw accurately and with power from 3B? He was not charged with committing any errors last night, but he committed 2. Put Lewis at 3B. Leave Julian at 2B. Thank Polo for his good play in the past and trade him. The Twins have better, more useful defenders at each IF position, and at utility also. He could be useful at DH however, there is the problem of Buck needing to play DH.
