    Larnach.

    ...against the big city Orioles.

    Did the Twins sleep at Camden Yards last night? Edit: first ninja of the year. That didn't take long. Thanks a lot hambimo.

    We have people here advocating moving Brooks Lee to 3rd....a worse hitter than Lewis, ferpetesakes. But on topic, yeah, just another example of how bad, and shallow, this roster is.

    So...if Wallner is a "one-dimensional, HR or nothing, lousy fielding" player, why would you want to move him to 1st base? For that matter, why is another team trading for him?
  6. USAFChief
    Years and years of the Twins scoffing at defense and fundamentals will take more than an offseason to correct. Let's hope the philosophy changes. "Anybody can play anywhere" is a dumb idea. Stop it from the time kids are drafted. Figure out where they can play anf have them learn.

    Under 75. I have $100 wagered on it.
  8. USAFChief
    The good news is, at that point it'll no longer be high leverage.

    Jackson, Larnach, Lee and some International FA money to KC for Witt? Make it so, Jeremy. But we're still gonna need Arcia as a backup.
  10. USAFChief
    I'll wager a Grain Belt Premium Arcia opens the season as the Twins reserve infielder. Deal? Note: winner collects next time both of us are at Target Field on the same day. AKA "never."
  11. USAFChief
    Kody Funderburk might indeed be the Twins best reliever. Yeesh.
  12. USAFChief
    Interesting reading here, when Chafin was inked:
  13. USAFChief
    I missed it too. Basic training, for one thing.

    If you're keeping Culpepper on the big league team, he should be the everyday SS. Let Lee handle backup duty.
  16. USAFChief
    I think it mostly tells us what a worthless measuring tool fWAR is.
  17. USAFChief
    Current MGM Twins lines
  18. USAFChief
    Yes.
  19. USAFChief
    He didn't opt out. He was released. The Twins made this decision, not Hendricks.

    Short term results can appear finicky. A bad outing for a reliever will look bad, stats wise, for a long time. Small samples act that way. But a bad outing doesnt turn a good pitcher into a poor one. I'd want him to pitch tomorrow and the next days. Good pitchers don't change into poor ones willy nilly. Nor vice versa. There's nothing "finicky" about them, no more so than a good hitter having poor results on a day. And since good bullpens are by necessity deep bullpens--at least 6 or 7 deep, ideally 8 or 9--they are very difficult to build. There aren't a lot of good pitchers available. Why is relief pitching the universally sought after asset to add every trade deadline? By everyone?
  21. USAFChief
    Disagree, times three. Also, Fangraphs projections arent worth the electrons they're published with.
  22. USAFChief
    FWIW, current Fanduel Twins O/U is 72.5. -114 over, -106 under
  23. USAFChief
    Wanted to add my thanks to Nick Nelson for the series of position previews, including this one. Well done, well written, the kind of depth you don't get elsewhere. Everything that makes TD great. Hire more Nick Nelsons, please.
  24. USAFChief
    What's the big deal? I read here all the time how bullpens are the easiest thing to build. Nothing to it.
  25. USAFChief
    No. It's actually NOT okay.
