    Years ago, when the Twins touted acquiring an “innings eater”, that usually meant that the pitcher was mediocre or worse but durable enough to throw a large number of innings. 2004 had Terry Mulholland (late in his career) arriving as an “Innings Eater”. The results were not that good. Sorry to you Terry Mulholland fans.

    Bingo - The big key is his performance in Spring Training, with maybe some time proving himself in St Paul (even if he has done well in ST). Austin Martin has had periods where his performance has been disappointing, and he needs to show sustained improvement.

    The Twins should try to extend Royce long before that contract is about to expire.

    Because if the many options at 2B and 3B , you can delete Julien and even Lee from this list. One or the other can be trade chip if the price is right. Otherwise, I agree with all of the others and would probably be less equivocal on Joe Ryan (Young starting pitching, even when a bit shaky, is a premium need).

    Maybe he can take over for Dick Bremer. Give Randy an audition.

    It has worked for the Twins in the distant past. They moved Rod Carew from 2B to 1B.

    There was one pundit on the NYC KFAN who hinted at Alonso being an attitude problem. But then Mets Broadcaster, Keith Hernandez, promptly spoke up and said Alonso is “good teammate”.

    Don’t the Twins have an insurance policy in the event Byron Buxton cannot physically perform?

    Only to mimic Harmon on color commentary on TV, could it be Ron Warshington (note the third letter)?

    Remember. The Twins are NOT replacing the 2023 Sonny Gray but instead it’s the 2024 Sonny Gray. I have a hard time signing him after a career year as he is aging.

    Last season may have been the only time Gallo was even worse than Carlo Rossi. Joey Gallo indeed had a 20/20 season, but this time that means more like Mad Dog 20/20.
  12. strumdatjag
    Yamamoto - period.
  13. strumdatjag
    Yoshinobu Yamamoto looks like the real deal. Mid-90s fastball with a nice splitter. This signing would carry less risk than this article would lead us to believe about Japanese players. The Nishioka debacle may have many here snake-bit. But he is not representative of the level of talent with the best players in Nippon.

    He seems to offer decent defense too. Looks like he should be a fixture at a corner OF position.
  15. strumdatjag
    I’ll miss his play-by-play. I sat in seats just below his booth and saw him go out of his way to engage with fans (even me - he didn’t like my Nishioka jersey until I explained I wore it only when the Twins were on a losing streak as punishment).

    La Tortuga makes more sense. And still doesn’t.

    You must have missed Derek Falvey saying Chris Paddock is in next year’s starting rotation.

    AK’s error and Sonny’s tough start.
  19. strumdatjag
    Except there have been some successful but arguably arrogant Sports pundits. Keith Olberman, Charles Barkley, Stephen A Smith and number one all-time Howard Cosell. I enjoyed all four on sports (Keith was annoying in politics and continues to be - Stephen A Smith is actually good on politics, but don’t get me started on Sue Charles). If I thought longer, I could come up with more.

    My wish list is for the Twins to trade some of their excess infield talent. My number one pick would be Polanco (two years remain in his contract!). Second would be Julien, third Martin (probably in OF anyways). Certainly, Brooks Lee, Lewis and Correa should NOT be traded. . Next wish - I wish they could somehow dump Vasquez fir something. I believe he has two years remaining. Meanwhile, Jair Comargo had a nice year as catcher in St Paul. I wish that he is ready to bring some more power to the Twins line up (21 HRs in 90 games in St Paul!) - and that his defense is adequate.
  21. strumdatjag
    Joey Gallo Wilbur be here next year. That takes many Ks off the stats next year.
  22. strumdatjag
    Keep Kepler.
  23. strumdatjag
    And one more name - Brooks Lee!!!
  24. strumdatjag
    I’m going to exude positivity. This was a fun season. The future looks like this team will improve. Correa should return without the aching foot. Who knows - maybe Byron Buxton can find some snake oil to take to get healthy. Royce Lewis is here healthy all year - and becoming a leader for this team for the next 5 years, at least. The rotation will likely lose an aging Sonny Gray. But Chris Paddack is ready - did you see his performance tonight????Stop the bitching and moaning - The future is bright. I’m looking forward to pitchers and catchers reporting in February. You will too. I’m We still believe!!!
