    One possibility you did not mention is pulling the plug on Kepler. His "slump" at the plate is now entering a 4th season. If Kirilloff, Gallo and Larnach are all healthy and hitting, Max might find himself as the odd man out...

    Totally agree on the elite defense, Joe but the Twins did not give Correa all that cash for his glove. And I REALLY hope you are right on the hitting picking up. The Twins really need that.
  14. puckstopper1
    SSS but the Mets and the Giants are looking like they made the right move by not giving Correa all that cash. Three whiffs and GIDP today. Very Sano like. The Twins will definitely need more offense as the season moves forward, and Correa needs to be a significant part of that.

    That bat does look awesome. Hopefully it does not have the same apparent holes in it that the one Carlos is using so far this season...

    The Royals certainly got the bats going against Mr. Berrios and the Blue Jays last night!

    @Matt Braun wrote "Old friends Akil Baddoo and Matt Wisler played for Toledo. Baddoo walked once in four plate appearances while Wisler pitched a scoreless inning." Don't forget about our old friend / former Twin and Saint Jermaine Manuel Palacios!

    Sorry Omgbenji - it is not just 2 games for Kepler. It is the last 3 seasons and 2 games that he has been putrid at the plate.
  22. puckstopper1
    How long before we see an article here on T.D. detailing out how NOT having the shift is hurting Kepler's production. And And after 3 seasons of putrid productivity at the plate, Rocco keeps batting him first. In looking at the current roster, I'd release Kepler if/when Kirilloff returns...

    Thanks Nick for another fabulous write-up/season primer. Every team has some questions at this point in the season, and the Twins are no different. I am hopeful that the good breaks outpace the bad ones this season and the Twins can be the Best of the Worst (AL Central Champions). PLAY BALL!

    That picture of Sano just destroyed the months I have spent going thru therapy to forget about him. Thanks... Thanks alot...

    Fair enough, JD. Totally agree that Pagán & López as the biggest suspect choices in our Pen. I do have concerns about how Alcala bounces back from his elbow injury. Hopefully the starters can (and are allowed to) go longer than last season which was one of the biggest issues with the bullpen - especially in the first half of the season.

    IMO aside from Duran, there are still way to many questions/concerns with the bullpen. I understand that this is the case for most teams, but hopes/wishing seems more needed for the Twins. Lopez essentially had a fantastic half-season (before the Twins traded for him). Can he repeat that? Maybe, but his performance before that was brutal. Can Alcala bounce back after injury and be effective? Can Thielbar continue his magic? Possibly. Can Jax continue his strong progressing? Hopefully. Can Pagan harness his stuff and be effective? Doubtful. Hoffman, Megill, Moran - really unsure of what we will get from them.

    Was a similar current/future grading done with Arraez? I'd be curious to see his grades as he progressed thru the system as a means of comparison to the current Twins prospects.

    Another fabulous article/update from @Ted Schwerzler. THANK YOU!!!! You are certainly the Twins Daily "Sire of Fort Myers"!

    The game was fabulous to watch on TV, so I can only imagine what the atmosphere was like in the stadium itself. It is awesome to attend games where there are a significant amount of fans for both teams. Ex Twins certainly impacted the game - positively and negatively. Hopefully Team U.S.A. can keep it going - especially after such a hard-fought, emotional victory.
