    I hope Pagan has a great season for the Twins and surprises 99% of us at TD. I'm pulling for him.

    This is a sad article. But such is life sometimes for each of us. "For of all sad words of tongue or pen, The saddest are these: "It might have been!"

    Last season I proposed that Arraez play DH the most. I guess the FO listened.

    Pitching will be the key to the Twins success this season.

    Interesting article Cody. Thank you.

    I'm a big fan of Noah Miller. I hope he can become an average hitter for a SS. He is a super fielder.

    I predict the top prospect for the Twins in 2025 will be Paul Skenes.

    All of us at Twins daily are here for you, Corbin. 24/7.

    The Brewer/Burnes arbitration has brewed into a bruhaha with a brooding, feuding pitcher possibly bidding adieu to you know who.
  10. tarheeltwinsfan
    Warren Zevon ? Awesome name from the past.
  11. tarheeltwinsfan
    Or Polanco is hurt and not ready for action.
  12. tarheeltwinsfan
    We do have nice depth. But maybe the FO should sign one more left-handed hitting corner OF. LOL.

    More Ted Wiedmann ! More Ted Wiedmann !

    Good article. Lots of great discussion. I have to believe that out of Lee, Lewis, Miranda, Martin, Gordon, Kirilloff, Larnach, and Walner that the Twins will find a 1B, 2B, 3B, LF and RF. Leave C4 at SS and Buck at CF and build around them. Miranda is limited to 1B or 3B and Walner and Larnach are limited to OF. Kirilloff is limited to 1B and OF and looked extremely smooth at 1B. Lee, Lewis, Martin and Gordon were/are all SS's and can probably play anywhere. I wonder if there is a catcher in this bunch? If I were an IF prospect, other than Miller and possibly Salas, and other than those mentioned here, I'd strongly consider catching.

    I agree Bly. Play each inning, each pitch, each practice, each meal, each night's sleep with the goal of victory in mind.

    Recipe for "Twins Success" cake. The oven was turned on preheat last week. It is warming up. It's almost time to mix the various ingredients, which have been accumulated this winter, and are on the counter, waiting to be measured and mixed. The mixing should be slow and deliberate and the recipe should be followed. The baking temperature and the timing should be exact. While the cake bakes, we will all sing, "We're Gonna Win Twins". When the timer goes off in November, we will gently remove the cake from the oven, and we shall all sing, "We Are the Champions" and enjoy a piece of celebratory "Twins' Success" cake.

    Ironic indeed.

    Thank you for these updates, Nick. All of us at TD are on pins and needles about each of these players. But I cannot imagine how anxious these injured players must be to put their bodies to the test and see if the surgeries, therapies, workouts, and medicines have cured their injuries and to find out if they can perform at their self-imposed expectations. It is not just a question of whether he can help the Twins, but it is a deeper question. Baseball has been, and remains, vitally important to each of these athletes' self- identity. "Who am I, if I'm not a baseball player?" I realize we are more than our occupations, but many of us reply with our occupation when asked: "What do you do?" In fact we are so much more than our occupations. However these players are so dedicated to their profession and so many people are working to help each player realize maximum achievements, including a manager, coaches, trainers, fellow teammates, nutritionists, therapists, medical personnel, agents, accountants, lawyers, financial advisors, family, friends. The question of: "Am I healed?", has to weigh heavily on each of these players.

    Really good post Tony and Rodney. You and I are on the same page on everything you just posted. You even mentioned my pet peeve, the trading of Petty. I really am glad the Twins got Gray, but I absolutely hated losing Petty.
  20. tarheeltwinsfan
    Wonderful article Alex. Your proposed plan of patiently waiting for the trade deadline to approach in all it's majesty, and, if the Twins are serious contenders, (which they should be with the deep, strong team that has been built in Minnesota) then just before the trade deadline, trade for an ace to be used the first game of each series in the playoffs, sounds logical. But please do not trade any good pitching prospects and no catching prospects. (Not that the Twins have any catching prospects to trade anyway.)
  21. tarheeltwinsfan
    Patience is a virtue.

    Who gets 3B? Lee, Lewis, Correa or Miranda? Who gets 2B? Lee, Lewis, Julien or Polanco? Who gets SS? Correa or Lewis? Who gets 1B? Kirilloff or Miranda? The Twins are loaded with good young infielders. 7 very promising young players. Does one or two get moved to the OF...say Lewis, who may be the second best fielding SS on the team, or will Martin make this decision difficult? I know the national "experts" may disagree, but the Twins are loaded. Vasquez and Jeffers at C. Plus the Twins currently have the best 4 fielding OF'ers in the majors. 6-7 good major league ready SP's, a solid relief staff led by "Mr. Dynamite", Johan Duran, and I'm going to stop typing this post now and contact a guy named Bruno in Las Vegas and lay down some money on the Twins winning the World Series.

    I think Brad Hand would be my pick at a lower price. Say 2 million. Please feel free to tell me to hand Hand more money, if you feel I'm too low.
  24. tarheeltwinsfan
    Good question. If he makes the team in his home town, he will be thrilled. If he gets a real chance to show the Twins what he's got and he gets DFA'd, he will not be happy about it, but he got his chance. It will not hurt the Twins, if they decide to cut him. He had a legitimate chance to make this team. Or if the signed veteran has a chance to make the team, there are others who can be DFA'd. Which of these two relievers would you rather take a chance on: Pagan or Hand or Magill? That is the real question.
  25. tarheeltwinsfan
    I don't see any compelling reason to not add Brad Hand to the 40 man roster and then see how the relievers look during spring training. He has been very good in the recent past and has potential to be really good this year, especially at home in Minnesota. He could invite all the Twins relievers to his Minnesota home for a BBQ.
