    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.

    Where there is smoke does not necessarily mean there is fire. But, there always seems to be strange stories swirling around Miguel Sano. It is worrisome.

    I love baseball but probably not right now. It is a definite NO if the season is as short as 50 games.

    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 believe Kepler, the man doesn't have a racist bone in his body. Simple as that, nothing else needs to be said.

    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.

    Seth, I think the WAR numbers pretty much support your choices.

    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.

    I would have picked the some pitchers, Nice job Seth.
  17. 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.

    A year with no baseball hurts everyone from the fans, players, stadium and concession workers and ownership but the teams that have a shot to win it all are probably the most severely impacted. Teams like the Twins were built for a serious run in 2020 and if no baseball is played the FA's move on and the other players get another year older. Baseball careers are relatively short anyway and losing a year is a serious blow. Teams that had no shot don't walk away unscathed either as the players that they are counting on to improve by playing the game will be sitting and watching. It will be a lose/lose for everyone but life is not always fair and we have to play the cards we are dealt. We will have to wait and see what the future brings.

    Odds are that when the 2020 season begins Buxton will be in his normal position, the IL.
  20. jjswol
    Good luck.
  21. jjswol
    I see no problem calling Buxton injury prone, it is what it is. How can you deny that he has been hurt numerous times and not available to play? A player is of no value to his team if he is not on the field participating. Seems pretty simple to me.

    Tom, Very impressive presentation on why Tovar belongs in the Twins HOF. I was lucky enough to have watched Tovar play and he is certainly one of the Minnesota Twins "forgotten" players. I have been pushing to get him in the Twins HOF for years but with no success so far. I was hoping to get him in through "fan" voting but now I have found out that the fan voting for the Twins HOF is basically a sham. I started to write an article on twinstrivia.com about this yesterday and hope to have it done in the next day or two. Thanks for helping spread the word about Cesar Tovar.

    The traffic on your site is incredible. As always you guys at Twins Daily do a great job, keep up the good work.
  24. jjswol
    Nice work Seth.

    So far the only player that has made even a small impact is Devin Smeltzer. Need to give this more time, too early to tell just yet.
