    Good week overall. SSS, but the offense numbers as a whole look very encouraging since the All Star Break. 8th in BA (.271) 5th in OBP (.360) 1st in OPS (.859) Correa needs to stay hot. I would love to see him hit an OPS of .800 or more this month.

    That’s awesome David! You could start a stand at the farmers market!

    This week’s pepperoncini pepper harvest! We found a recipe for refrigerator peppers and gave it a try! In 3-4 weeks we’ll see how good they taste.

    Why stop there? Royce Lewis and Eddie Julien have a bit of value. Flip them too.
  5. Vanimal46
    Nah I think the Vikings have moved on. Besides, he’s got some legal matters to clean up first.
  6. Vanimal46
    No doubt, I’m with you. I have no qualms about Castro keeping this role over Gordon when he returns.
  7. Vanimal46
    Long term plans? No, not yet anyway. Depends on what he’s projected to get in arbitration… That might price himself out of the role.
  8. Vanimal46
    4 out of 5. Keep it up!

    The Rockies have next to nothing of interest to trade… CJ Cron is fine. I guess I’d trade a minor league filler like Mark Contreras. Zero interest in Bard or Hand. They should probably get out of the Kris Bryant contract while they are able to. Colorado has some under the radar awful contracts on their books. Kyle Freeland for some reason is locked in for 4 more seasons around $15 million per year. Antonio Senzatela is also, for some reason, locked in for 4 more seasons around $11 million per year. Bard guaranteed $9.5 million next year. Gross.

    It still amazes me we were able to trade Donaldson away and not have to eat any of the remaining money on his deal.

    Ober for Goldy is a good toss up. I think I would turn that down for the Twins… If the injuries are behind Ober, there’s nothing stopping him from ramping up to 180 innings per season. I really like his upside as a starter.

    In Sonny Gray starts this year, the Twins have a record of 8-10. He will make at most 14 more starts the rest of the season. How many is some games replacing him with an arm from AAA? 2-3 games?
  14. Vanimal46
    If we do shop Gray at the deadline, and I think it’s an excellent idea to do so, he will have multiple suitors willing to trade for him. He’d be the 2nd most coveted arm to trade for, behind the great Ohtani. I would guess some teams won’t even pursue Ohtani and spend their time acquiring Gray or Giolito instead.
  15. Vanimal46
    Yeah, a solid top 3 there. Will be interesting if they trade within the division. I’m rooting for chaos and Baltimore going all in this year.

    I watched the first 2 episodes of Quarterback on Netflix. Couple of things stood out. First, Pat Mahomes is on another level. With his mindset, talent, and environment working with a HOF coach, it’s no wonder he’s the best QB on the planet. Second, seeing Kirk confirms things we’ve always speculated. He’s a very smart person and constant learner. We also see what holds him back from being a great QB. And it’s all in his head.

    More information about "Sonny Gray, “Wouldn’t shock me if I didn’t play anymore after this year”"
    In this interesting article from Do-Hyoung Park, Sonny Gray talks about his future in baseball and doesn't have immediate answers. That may seem strange given that Gray is having perhaps the best season of his career but he mentions how ten years is a long time and what he sometimes felt was an endpoint to his MLB career. Poised to make tens of millions of dollars in an extension this offseason, any talk of retirement seems shocking. A quote from Sonny himself: “Wouldn't shock me. Do I want to? Do I think I can? Absolutely. And I can at a very, very high level. It's not about the money. It's whether you still enjoy it, and does your family still enjoy it."

    The Twins have scored 2 runs or less in 36 out of 91 games. 39.56% of the time!
  20. Vanimal46
    Neither of those guys would start a playoff game. If Gray is traded there are 3 good starters left for a series - Ryan, Lopez, Ober. Maeda around as the 4th option/bullpen guy.
  21. Vanimal46
    Looks like the same 2023 Twins offense to me. 9 games since the players only meeting, with 5 games scoring 2 or less runs.
  22. Vanimal46
    You’re right. The system is pretty depleted as it is. There’s a reason why we’re all rooting for Julien to do well. He’s the only option.
  23. Vanimal46
    Yep. How much improvement? Not enough IMO. My thoughts on this are still the same as a couple of weeks ago. I have little to no interest in supplementing this team further trading prospects for veteran talent.
  24. Vanimal46
    That will be pretty darn expensive to acquire 2 top of the order bats. The pitching staff will still be quite good, probably good enough to win a playoff game, even without one or more of Sonny Gray, Kenta Maeda, Caleb Thielbar, or Emilio Pagan.
  25. Vanimal46
    You’ve seen the offense, yeah? That may help you understand why it’s being expressed.
