    Excellent point about the chance for a high draft pick. At a crucial point you have to make tough decisions. I, for one, will not miss Correa's GIDPs.

    You want entertainment? The return of La Tortuga!

    Tear the whole thing down. Create a new league with a $500,000 salary cap. The Ohtanis and Judges won't play for that and the talent level would decline, but soon enough you will always fill the rosters with young athletes willing to play baseball for $100,000. When the super payed stars get tired of sitting around the house and coaching the little leaguers they will come back. I love watching players playing for the love of the game.

    Don't forget Javy Baez went from, "Where do we play this gut", swinging at pitches headed for the Detroit River to having his first solid offensive year in awhile.
  5. Senior Softball Guy
    Our new hitting coach turned Javy Baez' career around so there is hope.

    I heard him on that interview and was also impressed. Of course, winning will make us love or dislike him.So far...so good.

    We will miss Tommy Watkins personality but not so much his third base coaching. It sounds encouraging that Sizemore is added. Looks like they are fully committed to the aggressive running game. With the expected departure of Larnach and, perhaps a more limited role for Wallner, the outfield could be upgraded in terms of speed and defense. Encouraging first steps to an interesting off season for the Twins.

    There was a September game that SWR pitched where he was dominant and after the game gusched about how he and Pareda were in sync. Also Pareda did hit (SSS) with the Twins.

    Two top echelon tools can play at the MLB level. Remember Arraez had one top level tool and did alright.

    ....or Michael Bush straight up.

    A positive result will be the culling from TD of a lot of haters. As a baseball fan for over 70 years the best place for a fan to be is: NO EXPECTATIONS! The '91 Twins were a last place team the year before, strange things happen in baseball. The Blue Jays struck gold with guys like Barger, Schneider and Clement. Their manager is the same guy who lost to the Twins in the playoffs. By Spring I will be tuning in to watch baseball and the haters will be going to the Lynx games. Good-bye haters, true fans will miss you......not.

    Will he continue the agressive base running style that emerged after the big trade off?
  13. Senior Softball Guy
    This hire won't sell a lot of tickets, but if we start winning the fans will come back. The haters have come out of the woodwork (LOL), but let's give it time.
  14. Senior Softball Guy
    Ober? That's a lot of chopped liver to be overlooked.

    Royce is the modern era Pat Tabler! Load 'em up and his eyes widen. Even the most optimistic of us were starting to wonder if he was going to be the next Julien/Miranda. Perhaps not!
  16. Senior Softball Guy
    Inexplicably he doesn't run "Buck" with double-play machine Larnach at the plate. If Buck runs, they don't even throw through. Was that Buck's decision not to run?
  17. Senior Softball Guy
    I've been watching baseball since the mid Fifties. I've seen the good, the bad, and the ugly. So many stories being unfolding within the context of the game. Young guys getting an opportunity, fresh energy, baseball has it all. Those memories wash over you. Ted Williams hitting one in the upperdeck at Comiskey Park, Kirbyyyyy Puckett, and also the Terry Feltons. It's all good.

    I met Walker after a game last year. Yikes! This dude is a put together. The game he played he layed f down a perfect, bunt and stole second and third. Don't let Rocco near this guy. Steal third base? Horrors!
  19. Senior Softball Guy
    I think the addition of Roden has lit a fire under Wallner and Larnach. Abel looks able and Urena will have to find a new role. We may have found the Jose Ramierez remedy! He is now 1 for 11 versus his fellow Ramierez!
  20. Senior Softball Guy
    If I'm a prospective buyer of the club not having to pay an aging shortstop 30 million would be a lot more attractive. Correa is what he is. We would miss his solid error free, plus plus arm, his veteran presence, but I will not miss his lack of clutch hitting and his very predictable GIDPs. I don't hate hm, but let's give some of kids a chance.

    Ohtani hit a Duran splinker at 98mph to the opposite field 400 ft. Wow! The Dodgers need BP help. What do they have to offer? Pages perhaps? Half the LA crowd lived up to their one foot out the door reputation and listened to Ohtani's epic blast riding on the freeway.
  23. Senior Softball Guy
    Perhaps early co-MVP's on the team?
  24. Senior Softball Guy
    Ironically, the two most criticized FO moves (Bader and France) have been keeping us ahead of the White Sox (barely). Bader is a high wire act that is fun to watch
  25. Senior Softball Guy
    If you can't win championships at least be entertaining! Bader is a high wire act. Highlight reel to what was he thinking, it is fun to watch. Remember he is replacing Manny Margot who was not much fun to watch!
