Jamie Garcia Experience Fun Fact: Garcia won more games for the Twins that year than he did for the Yankees.
-
Always thought he'd end up as a big league manager. Maybe even with the Twins.
-
We traded Berrios and a year later we needed a Berrios so we made the Mahle trade. That didn't work so we made the Gray trade. Lopez was gravy. For a year. A very successful year. Until this year This year he fills the Berrios spot. The number Berrios signed for was NOT totally out of our wheelhouse for a frontline SP. What kind of holes are we looking to fill right now if we still have Steer, Hajjar, Encarnancion-Strand, Arraez & Chase Petty?
-
good
-
We traded Berrios which necessitated subsequent trades for Tyler Mahle, Sonny Gray and Lopez. Jury is still out on the return.
-
Kind of reminds me of when we moved on from a certain LF rather than pay him $8 million. And the guys he was "hindering" have still not made an impact.

You seldom get better when you best players go somewhere else. Why create holes to fix holes?

Lets rape the bullpen.
-
Been a Twins fan for 50 years. Long enough to know that IF we trade one of them, the one we trade will go on do become a better pitcher than the one we keep.
-
I hate to bring it up but with the possible exception of Miller these are not stars but merely pieces with star POTENTIAL. You know, potential, like Kirilloff & Larnach and a million other guys had.

How about we put it in Ryan's contract that he has to go back to the Thor hair cut he had the first couple months after we traded for him.
-
Not sure why a team that has spent most of the last (two, or three, or four) decade(s) looking for starting pitching would trade either of these guys. Also not sure why someone would write an article like this and not speculate on what such a trade might get you in return.
-
And all those extra stats are going to come at a cost at contract time. But I'm sure none of that cost will be passed on to the consumer in the form of higher ticket, concession and parking.
-
Some of us don't like to make a move just to save money.
-
Good point. We COULD take that a step further and change that name to Rocco Baldelli and have the statement be just as true.
-
"Their outfield situation remains in flux, with injuries and underperformance plaguing the roster. Kepler’s ability to play all three outfield positions would give manager Rocco Baldelli flexibility—if Kepler is willing to spend some time in center field." Amazing how much perspective ya get my merely changing two words in a sentence.
-
I think it's a great idea. Just don't think it will go far enough. Why limit it to players on the active roster? Wouldn't the Giants love to throw Barry Bonds out there in a couple key spots? I'm sure Tony O's got a couple good swings left. Rod Carew's got some heart problem's but he's not blind yet. And why not dead guys? Did you see Aaron Judge struggle in the World Series. Babe Ruth could have gotten the same 3 RBI as Judge did. And why limit it to your own players. Let a manager call on a player from the other team. Aaron Boone could send Freddie Freeman to the dish instead of Judge. And to keep it on the up and up, if the guy from the other team makes an out, his team loses automatically. See we just added another component to shortening game times as well. This is gonna be great.
-
Sure. I agree with you. Especially if they can get that veteran to play for free. Think Butch Wynegar late 70s.
-
Did you REALLY think the top three would be top 24 in the bigs? Be honest.
-
Yup. More production in those 4 games than the two # 1 draft picks that replaced him had in 4 YEARS. That's baseball.
-
They replaced him with Kiriloff and Larnach. SHOULD have been a slam dunk. Wasn't. Not only did they not have 15 minutes of post season fame they didn't even have 15 minutes of post-season. Look at the post season numbers since he left: Rosario: 24 hits, 11 runs, 11 RBI. Kiriloff & Larnach combined post season hits, runs & RBI: ZERO. But who really cares about post-season?
