Concur, I say Sano is the priority to sign this off-season. He's already becoming a star this season, and will only get more expensive the longer he proves he can play 3B or 1B.
If you believe the team isn't a contender, wouldn't it make sense to give Burdi/Melotakis/pick your poison some time on the MLB team so they have experience when the team evolves into contenders?
Would Burdi/Melotakis/Hilldenberger do any worse than Pressly right now? I'd be shocked if that were the case.... He needs to be sent back to AAA yesterday. Give him 10-15 appearances in Rochester to clear up whatever issues he's going through.
No doubt. MLB is leading the way for streaming options with their games. NHL being a close second. NFL and NBA are light years behind in the streaming game, and the two biggest investments that ESPN has.
Now that we've come to the conclusion that Mauer and Sano are completely different players.......... If people are hesitant about giving a long term contract to a 24/25 year old, I'm not sure if there's any example of a player to sign long term.
Good luck to D Santana. This should hopefully work out for both parties. D San gets a fresh start, and the Twins take away Molitor's temptation of finding a way to play him.
They've been splitting playing time 50/50 between him and JRM for most of the season. Recently it's probably just playing the hot bat. JRM is heating up, and Garver is cooling down a bit.
From what we've read over the last year+, he's a pro hitter who knows how to work a count, draw walks, and rarely strikes out. It's possible they finally have a traditional lead off hitter to plug into the lineup.
They were damn good... Breakfast taco with migas, avocado, and pepper jack cheese. 1 chicken fajita and 1 Al Pastor... A homemade tortilla is the key to a great taco!
So last year the general thought was Kintzler's not that valuable in a trade because he didn't have a long track record, nor a ton of saves to generate interest... Is that still going to be the case this year now that national publications are devaluing saves, and wanting to use goose eggs as the new metric?
