    With how Kiki Hernandez eased into the everyday CF spot in Boston, I would be very open to signing Taylor as they are very similar players. I do agree that he would be starting at SS for the first month or so and I don't know if that would be a good thing. That being said, I don't know if 2 years $14M will get it done though, his 3 HR playoff game is fresher in teams minds than Hernandez's was when he hit FA and middle defense fielders get paid more $$$. His signing however makes Arraez, Astudillo, and Cave expendable, so maybe the team pulls the trigger and signs him,

    Jeffers says "No"....

    I was at one of the games against the Angels when Simmons threw behind the runner on a similar play, no out at second and Sano let the throw to first get by him. Glad to see it only took 161 games to get the infielders on the same page....

    Of those 203 "non-HR" AB's, 82 have come with runners on base (91 PA's); he is 30-82 with 18 RBI in those AB's. With RISP he is 11-46 (50 PA's) with 11 RBI. Not a lot of chances to drive in runs....

    Surprised to see they are 7-9 vs KC this year and 5-5 last year, seems like it was way worse,,,,
  6. mnfireman
    Just can't beat KC...........
  7. mnfireman
    I believe he has said he wants to stay here......?‍♂️

    I spent 2 minutes on Baseball Savant

    Also, Arraez is -1 Outs Above Average at 3B, so no, he is not "above average" at 3B. Or any defensive position for that matter.
  11. mnfireman
    According to Baseball Savant, Buxton's sprint speed is 30.0 ft/sec, Gordon and Polanco 27.9 ft/sec; Merrifield is 28.6 ft/sec, Lopez, Dozier and Taylor are 28.2 ft/sec and Mondesi 28.1 ft/sec.

    Sign a SS, start Larnach at AAA again to gain some confidence, trade Sano if possible and Arraez and Miranda can be Utility guys rotating through1B, 2B, SS, 3B, LF and DH. Play match-ups as much as possible to help. Much more flexibility than Cave and Astudillo give, though I can see the team somehow trying to keep both on the roster.

    Not a productive out by a Twin, again.......
  14. mnfireman
    I don't get understand where you're going with this. Donaldson made the play, the run scores even if its a clean play. That's right, trade him because he isn't worth what he's being paid....
  15. mnfireman
    The run scores regardless of where Donaldson's throw is, they still got the out......
  16. mnfireman
    And he gets credit for a save.....Rolaids Fireman of the year Award.....
  17. mnfireman
    GAME!!!!!!!
  18. mnfireman
    We have not learned much in almost 40 years....
  19. mnfireman
    And Colome creates the suspense to keep people tuning in....
  20. mnfireman
    Arraez continues his hot hitting....
  21. mnfireman
    He was at 7, the MLB record is 10. Long ways to go, even against the Cubs....
  22. mnfireman
    Nothing to do with his trade value.......
  23. mnfireman
    Astudillo and Cruz (if they signed him) would be in the way of getting the younger guys up. Cabbage, Miranda, Lewis, and Martin should all be up at some point next year. Kirilloff, Larnach and Buxton should all be healthy (hopefully) and need to play regularly. Astudillo could place hold, but Cruz would be a luxury, a nice luxury, but still a luxury.

    I would be happy never seeing Arraez play 3B again. He has a hard time making the throw and he should have more fielding errors as he has had a lot of balls hit off his glove. If they could package Kepler and Arraez for starting pitcher that would be a plus. C - Garver 1B - Kirilloff 2B - Polanco SS - FA (Galvis, J. Iglesias)? 3B - Donaldson LF - Larnach CF - Buxton RF - Kepler Bench/DH - Sano, Gordon, Miranda, Jeffers, Rooker/Refsnyder/Garlick/Cave(pick 1, 2 if Kepler is traded)

    This years team has been terrible defensively; a lot of errors (physical and mental), misplayed balls that could have been called errors, throws to the wrong base, missed cut-off men, etc... This then makes me wonder if the pitchers are unable to relax on the mound, trying to be too perfect, not pitching "loose." Constantly throwing from the stretch, having to throw extra pitches, trying to make the perfect pitch to get the strike out, etc... could be hindering their development. We are seeing a lot of bad pitching seasons here.
