  1. Lee may eventually get Clemens hurt with throws like tonights...
  2. If Jenkins has to move off CF to a corner spot, is he still #1? CF is a premium, up the middle position and his being able to play there adds a lot of value to his ranking.
  3. The process is what gets the results. It's the teaching of the process (coaching) that yields good or poor results. Recognizing player strengths and weaknesses and maximizing strengths gets good results. The eye test and the sabermetrics should both be weighed, as neither tells the full story. This team has too many AAAA players on it because their bat speed, spin rate, exit velocity, etc... show that they should be good major league players.
  4. As Sheldon Cooper would say - fun fact, the Twins and Astros have the same record since the trade deadline passed, 7-9...
  5. Found the original draft of the letter before AI "fixed" it... (wink, wink, (sarcasm))
  6. I believe Buxton has said he has never stolen 3B. That is fine in innings 1-9, but if he's the "Manfred Man" or "Ghost Runner" on 2B, I agree, he needs to steal 3B for the simple reason that he's scores on just about any ball in play.
  7. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/mlb/mlb-just-moved-one-big-step-closer-to-a-lockout-that-could-ruin-the-sport/ar-AA1KthHR?ocid=winp1taskbar&cvid=23b2473b2fe84e6fdf250a035e06b550&ei=11
  8. Not gonna lie, thought the Bellinger HR was game the way its been going lately. Loved that the team rallied and won.
  9. If the reported incident between Harper and Manfred is the players position, this ain't happening, at least the salary cap part. The lockout in '27 may be a long one....
  10. Pohlad's remaining majority owner, is it too early to start drinking?
  11. https://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/MIN/minnesota-twins-salaries-and-contracts.shtml Agreed, and BR states as much in the link
  12. Future salary commitments per Baseball Reference (based on current roster, no FA signings): 2026 - Guaranteed contracts (2) $37.1 MM, Options (1) $2 MM, Arbitration eligible (6) $46.2 MM, Pre-arb contracts (17) $12.89 MM; Total payroll $96.2 MM (no options) $97.5 MM (all options) 2027 - Guaranteed contracts (2) $36.9 MM, Arbitration eligible (17) $130.9 MM, Pre-arb contracts (6) $4.55 MM; Total payroll $172.4 MM 2028 - Guaranteed contracts (1) $15.14 MM, Arbitration eligible (23) $177.1 MM, Pre-arb contracts (1) $758.18 K: Total payroll $193 MM 2029 Guaranteed contracts (0), Arbitration eligible (19) $146.3 MM, Pre-arb contracts (6) $4.55 MM: Total payroll $150.9 MM I don't know why BR only uses a 25 man roster, but it is what it is. This is purely a speculative exercise, not all players on the current roster will be here to influence these numbers, but it shows how a group of players coming through the system together and only getting arbitration raises can influence payroll.
  13. Can't nibble on the edges against the NYY, the umps will make you bring it in...
  14. Who had Hatch for 100 pitches on their Twingo card...
  15. 1-22 tonight, 3-30 last night... .058 BAvg over 2 games; sooner or later this team figures out the NYY
  16. You may have answered your own question...
  17. Dude, if you are going to bent out of shape every time the team loses, you should probably not watch until 2027 (or 2028 in case of a lockout)
  18. 4 PA's by your lead-off hitter in the first 5 innings....ahhh the good ol' days!!
  19. Weak groundballs on the first pitch aren't what every team does...
