    Jose Miranda playing 1B last night might be foreshadowing what we see sooner than later across the river in Minneapolis.

    Now that I’m back in Minnesota I’m looking forward to attending a game again at Target Field. But much like my preference for playing golf, the temp has to be above 60, sunny, and ideally no wind if it’s below 70 degrees.

    He’s worth a flyer for sure. He will come super cheap with some upside. Given that Kirilloff is now dealing with a chronic wrist issue, we could use more depth beyond the prospects.

    Not much to say about the Twins performance. Modern Baseball as a whole, which is struggling to capture the imagination of new fans, ruined the fun of seeing history. If Kershaw was at 100+ pitches, sure, that becomes a really tough decision. He was at 80 pitches. I highly, highly doubt another 10-15 pitches would have jeopardized his future health.

    Let’s hear from the actual person. Who would have liked to finish the game.

    With the exception of Duffey’s duffed 9th inning, the bullpen has looked a lot better than expected. I’m very excited about Duran and think he’ll fill the Rogers role as high leverage part time closer very soon. I’m willing to sacrifice whatever is needed to the baseball gods so Buxton plays over 120 games this year. If he does, we get the pleasure of watching a top 5 MVP candidate this year.
  7. Vanimal46
    I was on board with this until Rogers got involved in negotiations. That will make the bullpen a big weakness. I’m not sure Alcala is ready to be a closer.
  8. Vanimal46
    All that’s left to button up before opening day is Rooker vs. Garlick.
  9. Vanimal46
    Looking more and more like Winder is making the opening day roster.
  10. Vanimal46
    I’m not sure what we’re arguing here. The group of pitchers in the building is what we’re starting with. 3.5 months is more than enough time to sift through prospects and see who will or won’t stick. All they gotta do is hover around .500 then Falvey and Levine have historically made supplemental moves to make a playoff push. Are you implying with your question that in order to be contenders, we need to go after the shiniest brand name player available at the deadline?
  11. Vanimal46
    Yes, they’ll mix in quite a few of the young arms to see who sticks early on. Looks like Winder will get the first crack at it in the majors. Past history would indicate that Falvey and Levine have no problem changing course to supplement (arguably not enough) contending teams and sell when things aren’t looking good. Sometimes both directions within a week like 2018.
  12. Vanimal46
    100%. With expanded playoffs all we need to do is hover around .500 until the deadline. Then we can pounce and make bold moves for August and beyond.
  13. Vanimal46
    Thorpe remains in the org but off the 40 man.
  14. Vanimal46
    Sounds like the A’s are holding onto Montas until the trade deadline. Manaea could be had now but as a 1 year rental for a haul of prospects, I can see why a deal hasn’t been made.
  15. Vanimal46
    He has upside of more than a backend starter so I don’t mind the move. If he doesn’t find it, 1/$3.5 million is a drop in the bucket.
  16. Vanimal46
    There’s also this.
  17. Vanimal46
    I’d like to see him put the Twins jersey on first before discussing trading him…
  18. Vanimal46
    Even the worst case possible, he is injured for the 2021 season and opts in for 2022… Why wouldn’t we want to take another $35 million chance on a 28 year old SS?
  19. Vanimal46
    Still getting used to this!
  20. Vanimal46
    Not going to lie I didn’t think signing Correa was in the realm of possibilities, which is why so much focus was put on Trevor Story. Correa is significantly better than him and I’m thrilled he’s coming to Minnesota!

  22. Vanimal46
    Sorry for doubting you Falvey and Levine! Now let’s get Montas and we’re cooking with gas!!
  23. Vanimal46
    This is excellent news to wake up to. Let’s go!!
  24. Vanimal46
    My immediate reaction is I love it. Much, much better than the trade yesterday. Keep it up!
  25. Vanimal46
    Immediate reaction is I don’t like it, at all.
