    Indeed. But I want to see them do it on the Twins' budget!
  2. PDX Twin
    Is "none of the above" an option? I'd love to get out of the strikeout syndrome and start seeing more true hitters like Lewis, Julien, and (I miss him!) Arraez in the lineup!
  3. PDX Twin
    We had really good success last year with Lewis, Wallner, and Julien. Was this just luck? Did we promote all of the MLB-worthy prospects and none of the rest has the potential to be as good? Or is the Twins pipeline finally doing its job of bringing along talent to add to the top club? I guess we'll find out soon enough! It's worth noting that the top 7 Twins OPS players last season have never played an inning in any other organization. Not many winning teams can say that.

    And it seems like he managed to keep air in Sano's balloon while he was here. It deflated (or burst) shortly after Cruz's departure. Following that line of thinking, it's amazing how few times I've thought about Sano in the last year!

    Yes. I love reading good things about our prospects. So do the devoted fans of 29 other teams. We do seem to have a good crop coming up and a few of them have been effective with the Twins. Yet the expert rankings of our minor-league system do not put us close to #1, so I take it all with a healthy (or perhaps unhealthy, sodium!) grain of salt.

    In thinking about this, I found myself wondering how much of a premium we would be paying just for an extra MPH or two. Suppose that a pitcher had Duran's record with a 98 MPH fastball. Would we be thinking about these numbers? I'm not into paying for extra MPH unless it is reflected in extra outs. And I do worry a lot about the injury threat of that kind of wear on the arm.
  7. PDX Twin
    I agree. Let's not forget that the Twins had the SEVENTH best record out of 15 American League teams. They would NOT have made the postseason with their record in any other division. And by having extra games against their pathetic division rivals, they played the EASIEST schedule in the league. I'm happy that we were better than before, but not getting too far out over my skis at this point.

    What if he goes in and tells Boston, "I'll come, but I want you to hire Falvey, too, in a partnership like we had in Minnesota"?
  9. PDX Twin
    What does this mean? Mike Lindell is paying the salary?
  10. PDX Twin
    Ha! I'll believe healthy seasons from Buxton, Lewis, and Correa when I see them. I really don't want the Twins to count on that. Try to build a roster that doesn't need more than about one of these guys healthy in order to win.
  11. PDX Twin
    Yes. Not a single single on Wednesday! Atrocious!
  12. PDX Twin
    Fourteen strikeouts and ZERO singles! Lucky to be in the game at the end. Unwatchable!!! Twins playing HR derby again instead of baseball.
  13. PDX Twin
    Or maybe that's why they activated Buxton. He might pitch the 8th and save Castro for the ninth.
  14. PDX Twin
    Is it Castro-time already?
  15. PDX Twin
    Yes! Please!!
  16. PDX Twin
    Rocco's expression seems to say, "Yup, this is what we expected."
  17. PDX Twin
    I'm guessing Castro for two innings.
  18. PDX Twin
    Is Rocco on the phone looking for someone to bat for Lewis?
  19. PDX Twin
    Maybe Rocco decided that this was the last game of the season and everyone should get a turn, kind of like kindergarten.
  20. PDX Twin
    What an inning!
  21. PDX Twin
    If they pull him here, it might damage his confidence for next year. And make Rocco his enemy. Unless they are seeing something we can't see, this is foolish.
  22. PDX Twin
    He missed the trash-can signal.
  23. PDX Twin
    Pitch count very low. Just the usual one bad one.
  24. PDX Twin
    And Joe does what Joe does. 🙄
  25. PDX Twin
    And the stadium deflates.
