    A good player and a very nice person, he will be missed in baseball.

    I like Liam Hendriks a lot but the White Sox over paid for a reliever that has been great but the mileage is starting to accumulate. The problem with free agency is that you are always paying for history. I wish Hendriks the best but the White Sox will regret this signing long term. In addition, Hendriks will find a huge difference in pitching in the White Sox band box versus in Oakland.

    If the Twins FO isn't inquiring into all the FA's they are not doing their job. Should just be common sense that they would.

    Eddie is a "good news/bad news" type of player but I think the Twins will miss his RBI's even if the analytics folks don't value RBI any more. Frustrating sometimes? Absolutely, but is big in the clubhouse and will be missed.

    An extension after one big league game? I don't think so. I think Kirilloff will be a great big league player but know one really knows for sure. Can't believe the FO would take a high risk gamble like that.

    Torii Hunter was a wonderful player for the Twins but he is not a hall of famer.

    I don't think the Twins need another hitter (Story) that strikes out 170+ times every season.

    I like Kirilloff a lot. Having said that, I am old school and believe you have to prove yourself before you get the money. That doesn't mean a team should not pay a player what he is worth when he has no leverage, it just means that if Kirilloff should put up the numbers first before he gets the big bucks.

    Sounds good to me and we all know it is just satire but deep down we know former Twins that have fit this category to a "T".

    Colina and Kirilloff each played in one game and what they accomplished or didn't accomplish in that lone appearance does not warrant any grade besides an Incomplete. Unfair to everyone to give them a grade based on what they did in one game.

    It make no difference if Donaldson is right or wrong on bad calls. The problem is that his reaction to these calls is hurting his team particularly when he or another player is ejected because of it. In addition, no matter what umpires may say, it is human nature that calls that they make "assuming that all things are equal" will go against Donaldson's team.

    Fun read, thank you!

    Nce job. I enjoyed the phone interview I did with Walbeck back in 2012. You can listen to it at and many others at my Twins Interview Archive - https://tinyurl.com/y5ty77bk

    Like him too and he is a very nice and friendly person as well. Glad to see him back wit the Twins.

    There are a lot of "betting-on-the-come" Buxton fans out there but there are also a lot of "show me the money" me fans too. Both sides are right to a degree but the Twins FO gets to make that call, their future depends on their decision. The Twins have a lot of money and time invested but sooner or later you need a return on your investment.

    And that is why games need to be played on the diamond and not on the computer.

    I read Twins Daily because it is about baseball, I read the Star Tribune and watch the news on TV and listen to it on the radio. I would prefer to see "Twins Daily stay in their own lane."

    I don't think it is realistic to say that the Falvey regime has made great and wonderful picks in 2017-2019. None of these players have even played one day in the big leagues and that is the only true way to measure them.

    I believe the real reason that Shane Mack left MLB when he did was because of the strike.
  21. jjswol
    Seth, I think the WAR numbers pretty much support your choices.
  22. jjswol
    I miss baseball too but why bother if it means playing all the games in Florida or Arizona or if no fans will be allowed. Why bother to play if the season can't be at least 120 games long? Even if baseball is played, how much pride will the fans or the players have in a team that wins it all if a normal season is not played. Players are not going to accept being quarantined away from their families for months at a time, that is just plain stupid. I would rather no baseball is played in 2020 rather then watch a mockery be made of the game.

    I believe that MLB has already stated that the year long suspensions for Houston's GM and manager will expire in one year regardless if baseball is played in 2020 or not. Wouldn't it stand to reason that something similar would be done for someone like Pineda? Say is the season is shortened by 40 games that his suspension would be cut by 25%? Then again, when has MLB logic ever made sense.
  24. jjswol
    I would have picked the some pitchers, Nice job Seth.
  25. jjswol
    Nice job Seth, I'm good with it. Hate leaving Mincher off because of his bat but there are only so many spots. I think people over look the job Rollins did although his career was not that long.
