    On the positive, Kiriloff is finally getting results.
  2. gunnarthor
    Has anyone got rumors on where St-Juste might go? If he's a 4th rounder, we might take someone like him.
  3. gunnarthor
    I'm actually hoping we trade back into the second round to get a defensive lineman. We certainly have enough picks in the 3rd and 4th rd to make moves. And if we just sit on those picks, we'll have enough darts to maybe find a diamond in the rough. Should be a fun day.
  4. gunnarthor
    OK, I like this pick.
  5. gunnarthor
    Shoot, I wanted Kitty Paye.

    I don't remember all the quotes and stuff but I thought the Packers FO and head coach loved Love and were thrilled to get him. After a year in the system, I suspect if they moved off of Rodgers it would be because they thought Love was close to ready, as opposed to bringing in a rookie. But, who knows. I hate the Packers. Hope they draft horribly.

    They spent a 1st rounder on a QB last year so I would think they'd do something else. Maybe that stud TE or the 'Bama WR so the new QB would have some toys. Which would piss of Rodgers a lot.

    I didn't see yesterday's game but here is mlb's video on Buxton's five hits. https://www.mlb.com/gameday/twins-vs-indians/2021/04/28/634371#game_state=final,lock_state=final,game_tab=videos,game=634371 I had wondered how he got a double and Kiriloff only went from second to third. He also had a pretty routine ground out to the shortstop that was an infield single. Man, he's a player.
  9. gunnarthor
    I think eventually he will. I'm not sure it'll be this year though.
  10. gunnarthor
    This is basically right. I think the Sox are the favorites now but we're probably still the second best team. That said, at the end of the year, I wouldn't be surprised if we won 94 and took first or if we somehow managed a 79 win season and came in third. The bullpen terrifies me. The lineup will be good. If we win 94, Buxton wins MVP.
  11. gunnarthor
    I don't actually think you're sorry.
  12. gunnarthor
    Yeah, I'd bet small amounts of money that we trade down, grab a d-lineman and use our next two picks on OL.
  13. gunnarthor
    I am down on this team but there certainly are scenarios where this is still a playoff team. I trust the offense a lot more than I trust the bullpen and even the rotation. Kiriloff has had some at-bats where I think, "he's gonna be good" even though he lines out. And I'm still a big believer in Sano. But the pitching staff really worries me. I will add that I am actually thrilled to be watching baseball again after the insanely strange 2020 season and Buxton is absolutely amazing to watch.

    This probably wasn't a fair review of Twins history. The 2015 Twins were pretty good, fighting for a playoff spot to the last series of the season and had some really promising young rookies. To say that the 2016 Twins were devoid of talent is a bit wrong. Those young guys just struggled - a lot. The 2017 Twins made the postseason. And then we had another ****ty season in 2018 that only looks a bit better b/c we won the last six against the White Sox. Most of called the 2018 season another total system failure year. Realistically, TD is giving the current FO a bit too much love. Even after all this time, our best hitting and pitching prospect were acquired by the previous regime. This FO was given a pretty good hand - talented young nucleus at the ML level, strong prospect system, an owner willing to spend - and they haven't really done much to help. 2019 was a fun season with a rough ending but this looks like a season full of cruddy bullpen arms trying to game their way through the 6-9 innings, day in, day out.

    Changing the subject completely, I really like playing Terraforming Mars.
  16. gunnarthor
    I'd be ok to see him go. I liked his hiring a lot at the time but I don't think he's done that great a job. I think Falvey is more important to the longterm.
  17. gunnarthor
    I suspect we will trade back if one of the QBs or WRs starts to slip. I agree with the idea that we should get as many picks for next year as possible although that might be tricky.
  18. gunnarthor
    Right now, only Donaldson, Buxton, Arraez and Cruz look like the they have a clue. Not sure what else they can do about that. Sano needs to be healthy. Kiriloff doesn't look good. I'm ready to give up on Polanco and Garver. Gad, what a crappy start to the season. I don't like the idea that starters should aim for 5-6 innings and be happy about it. I certainly don't want to turn into Bert but good grief. This bullpen is bad and we're relying on them way too much. Rocco needs to let our starters go deeper.
  19. gunnarthor
    Isn't a FA at the end of the season?
  20. gunnarthor
    Marty. Man, he was a good coach and really snake bit in the playoffs. A few playoff wins and he probably was a HOF coach. That said, I completely forgot about him and would never have guessed him.
  21. gunnarthor
    It'll be fun to see both of them get a shot. Hope they both excel for us.
  22. gunnarthor
    We are not a good team.
  23. gunnarthor
    That's a legit fair point. The A's are good and they are playing great. Sometimes you just get your ass kicked.
  24. gunnarthor
    I do think lack of a consistent lineup hurts. I know some folks think changing the order around based on who you are facing, moving guys up and down or in and out, gives the team a better chance to win but I think it also takes guys out of their routine.
  25. gunnarthor
    Looks like another 'total system failure' season. It is too early to panic and the Twins do have some talent but they are also relying a lot on guys who, frankly, might not be that good. Buxton, Cruz, Donaldson, Berrios could start for anyone but I'm close to giving up on Polanco and wish one of our young bats would take RF away from Kepler. And our bullpen still sucks. Still, this team could easily turn it around and win the Central. Sano will get hot.
