  1. Was thinking about this last night as I was debating, in my mind, the path forward with Julien & Kirilloff both basically bat mostly left handed hitters probably best suited to playing first base. In Ed we trust.
  2. Do it. Kiriloff and Julien are likely competing for one spot long term and Julien looks to be the more promising hitter. To me.
  3. If I had a nickel for every easy match I've seen over the last 50 years that DIDN'T lead to a trade......
  4. Better than anything we've got against lefties.
  5. If so, it will be because a much more ballyhooed prospect missed.
  6. Twins will make a number of moves at the deadline which will receive near universal praise from the local media and fans. One or more of those moves will not pan out and the team will be ripped by the same fans and media that initially praises the moves. Twins deadline primer 101.
  7. Fairchild is interesting. .885 OPS vs. Lefties in the minors but Senzel is nearly 1.000 in the big leagues and has brings 1200 big league plate appearances to the table. Fairchild not so many.
  8. Nick Senzel can play a solid CF and the corners in both the IF and OF, hits the snot out of left handed pitching AND might be expendable in Cincy in large part to a couple Twins farm hands emerging.....
  9. All-star "quality" season(s) for Span notwithstanding, 6 guys ONE all star game.
  10. Just cuz they're gonna be sellers doesn't mean that what they're selling is in our price range or even that it should be.
  11. "All six have made it to the big leagues." How many of those six have lived up to expectations?
  12. cue the "the FO needs to be fired for letting this guy get away" rhetoric
  13. Mauer's last year was 2018. Moved on from Rosario AFTER the 2020 season. Thanks for playing. Try again.
  14. On the other hand we still haven't adequately replaced Eddie Rosario in LF.
  15. Not really an issue. Julien is not really a second baseman. Polanco plays second 4-5 days a week. Julien plays there 1-2 days, plays 1B one day, 3B one day and DH once in a while.
  16. Dozens of Twins facts react to off the cuff remark from pitcher by threatening to jump off bridges--pictures at 11.
  17. The last time Gallo had an OPB higher than Kepler's career average, he struck out 213 times.
  18. Now toss out all those who aren't right handed hitters who pound left handed pitching.
  19. Hit me up when that deal happens so I can watch for the flying cows & pigs.
  20. If you want to see lost, watch Larnach against an off-speed pitch.
  21. Yeah cuz there's SO many other guys in this organization that would perform SO much better in the DH role.......
  22. You seldom win a trade in which the best player in the trade ends up on a different team.
  23. The folks that run the local baseball club don't seem to like acknowledging anything about "heart" either. Emotion has little to do with it. It's more about doing things on the baseball field that can't be measured by the almighty metrics. Getting big hits in big situations, coming thru when the count is not in your favor. Having a willingness to sacrifice their body if it means a win for the team. Putting the success of the team above all else. Leadership on and off the field. Expects perfection of himself at every moment. If our guys play like that we whine because they might get hurt. Correa is only one guy. This team is ONE game under .500. I can only imagine where they'd be without Correa.
  24. Doesn't stop most of them from thinking they can do a better job than the management.
