    I firmly agree with many others that a four-man rotation in the outfield, featuring Buxton, Gonzales, Jenkins, and Rodriguez, would be far more interesting than Buxton, Larnach, Walner, and Roden (or Outman). Give the young trio a month or two in AAA, and if they are doing well, bring them all across the river at the same time - maybe on June 1st, the beginning of a long homestand. Great PR and assuredly a huge impact on attendance.

    If Roden keeps hitting, I hope he's in the battle for the 2nd or 3rd OF slot, replacing either Larnach or Wallner in the starting lineup.

    What an odd choice of video clip to put in an article about why Rojas is ranked so high. A belt-high fastball that gets crushed over the center field wall. Not a great recommendation.

    Yes I am. Live with it.

    Many young pitchers are looking to make a name for themselves and push there way into the long term plans of the big league club. "there way"? In the very first line? It's "their" not "there".

    What specific trade offers are you referencing? I can't remember any names mentioned that weren't just speculation from hopeful fans.

    Please read the Diamond Centric article about propect evaluation. It more or less says your opinion is out of date.

    I would guess that one plays left field, one plays right field, and the remaining one plays center field. But that's just a guess. 😂

    Geez. He's only 22 years old. Give him some time.

    "The site uses a psStuff+ stat, which mimics the Stuff+ stat we're all more familiar with." Says who? I thought PnStuff was a cartoon character and PnStuff+ was his older brother. I guess I'll stick to my personal favorite measure: Can he get people out?

    Because I am not a caretaker, I only saw a little of this article. But... Then, in the fifth inning, his throw to first base was wild and resulted in an error. The throw wasn't wild, it was low. It was also a very feeble effort by the first baseman. But, who cares, defense isn't important.

    I'll probably lose Red Sox games (I'm only 90 miles from Fenway) but NESN carries all the Red Sox games.

    Question for those much more familiar with 21st century technology. Is Twins.tv available beyond the land of sky-blue waters? (Maine specifically.)
  14. terrydactyls
    Then trade him for something the Twins need (which is too lengthy to list).
  15. terrydactyls
    Damn. And he had the most recent and serious injury history. He would have been perfect.
  16. terrydactyls
    But the big question (which no one has mentioned) is: would Buxton be a better left fielder than Larnach? 😁😄😇
  17. terrydactyls
    There is a similar problem in the Caratini article. It says there are 7 comments, but none are shown.

    To me, BBTV is a crutch for people that don't want to do research.
  19. terrydactyls
    And gas was $0.19. So what?
  20. terrydactyls
    Simple solution. Require all starters to pitch complete games.

    "And I’d also say that, at some point, I’d love to get off this ‘payroll’ thing for a second and let’s get halfway through the year, to the end of the year, and let’s judge the success of this year on wins and losses, on whether we’re playing meaningful baseball in September." In 2026 he wants to put basically the same team on the field that lost over 90 games last year and judge that team on how well they play. And if they are still playing "meaningful" games at the end of the year, then he will consider increasing the payroll. First of all, he never defines "meaningful" so he can answer any outcome any way he desires. And second, he needs to improve the team to play meaningful games in September. There are three ways to improve a team: 1) hope everyone magically gets better, 2) spend money to acquire players that are better than current players, and 3) make smart trades (HaHaHa. I had to laugh at that). I guess he is choosing the first option.

    I can see why "no one expects Lee to log 140 games" at SS in 2026. After all, he only logged 139 games in 2025. Last year, Lee hit .236 which is one point higher than the MLB average. But because his defense is considered unacceptable, why not stick Houston at SS? His hitting is a big question mark but his defense is elite. Mark Belanger played 18 years and had a lifetime BA of .226. That was 30 points below league average when he played. In 2025 the average batting average was .235. If Houston can hit around .200, he should be playing. Last year, the Twins playing Christian Vasquez hitting .189, Wallner hitting .202, and Clemens hitting .216. Vasquez is gone, Wallner - who knows - and Clemens probably will play less. So I think there is room for quality defense at SS.

    The Twins can tell agents and rival teams that they checked in on Valdez and Peralta, and technically, that can be true. It also does not mean they were ever close. I think that says it all. If there are any pennies available to spend, spend them on a relief pitcher (or tell us that Raya, Prielipp, Morris, and Matthews are now members of the bullpen).
  25. terrydactyls
    Even if all four make a top-100 list next year, it won't increase the total number of Twins on it because there "could" be an equal number joining the Twins this year and no longer eligible for top-100 lists. (I hope).
