    KLaw chat today: Mike: Kiriloff has had a few injuries this year, but all in all hasn’t been as dominant in 2019 even when healthy. Any cause for concern? Keith Law: Zero cause. Still a star. Keith Law: And his injury this year was to his wrist (two IL stints), which you would expect to sap some of his power and contact quality. So saying he’s “had a few injuries” (it was one injury, and one that affects hitter performance even after it heals) isn’t really fair to him. Mike: Lewis Thorpe of the Twins intrigues me, he’s got pretty nice k:bb numbers in the minors. Can he be a mid rotation guy, or is he more back end rotation? Keith Law: More back end, but I like him and root for him to give us an Australian player with enough impact to help grow the game.

    What's the bullpen strategy? Currently it's throw **** against the wall and see what sticks.

    The odds of making the playoffs increased today. Bad break for the Rays...

    For 3 pitchers who can assist in 2019 I'd be open to trading just about anyone in the minors *within reason*

    Luckily my lease expires on 9/30 so there's wiggle room in case if anything gets delayed. The home is nearly complete inside! They still need to do the landscaping outside and finish the privacy fence in the backyard.

    PR speak?
  7. Vanimal46
    Get out of here with these negative thoughts!

    We got a lot done in a short amount of time! Kudos to my realtor who dedicated 7+ hours to me every Sunday for the last month and listened to things I liked in other homes we toured. I'm friends with his son and he was a father figure helping me along the way. New build that will be complete at the end of August!

    I found the winning house! Contract was signed today!!!

    I just threw up in my mouth with the latest 40 man add. Don't they have like 8 pitchers that they need to make 40 man decisions on this off-season? And we add a 36 year old has been. Wow.
  11. Vanimal46
    They also added a 36 year old, breathing reliever from AAA. http://twinsdaily.com/topic/33700-twins-add-36-year-old-breathing-reliever/?do=findComment&comment=885077
  12. Vanimal46
    He has been added to the 40 man roster. You've got to be kidding me.
  13. Vanimal46
    Are there any relievers left?
  14. Vanimal46
    I didn't think Chief needed to clarify to pay whatever it takes *within reason* A community forum isn't very productive or fun when posters take it literally and post it's going to take all 5 of the team's top prospects to trade for Ian Kennedy. The members on this site are sharp. Really sharp. No need to dilute the conversation in that way.
  15. Vanimal46
    When you say 'they are gone', if you mean the Pohlads I agree.
  16. Vanimal46
    I sure hope the current front office isn't shocked they are in this position... There should be a plan to capitalize on the banked wins from earlier this year.
  17. Vanimal46
    I am thrilled at the team's success. Lots of people are thrilled. Hence why there's a lot of chatter about making trades to help the 2019 team. Why wouldn't we want to build on this positive momentum and go for it?
  18. Vanimal46
    If the new trade deadline is paralyzing GMs in fear, and free agency is already broken, this sport is in serious trouble.
  19. Vanimal46
    These posts are not realistic nor productive in a conversation. Please return back to planet Earth.

    I think they're silly for placing more value on a red hot 14-3 July over their record through the end of June. It took that red hot stretch of baseball just to get 2 games over .500. Remember a couple of years ago when the AL was jumbled with mediocre .500 teams? Twins fans sure jumped at the first opportunity to wave the white flag. Other teams followed.
  21. Vanimal46
    LOL. Please be realistic if you're countering back on Chief's argument. In no universe are 2 rental players costing the team's top 5 prospects.
  22. Vanimal46
    I don't understand why they aren't willing to trade for rental pieces... I mean, all they look for in free agency are players looking to sign 1 year deals to keep "financial flexibility". It doesn't make sense.

    https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2019/07/falvey-on-twins-deadline-approach.html Discouraging to say the least. From the article: Fans probably shouldn’t expect any true blockbusters out of the Minnesota front office. Falvey says he’s “actively working that market to try and find ways to improve this club,” but strongly suggests it won’t come in the way of adding new core or high-end rental pieces. This year’s successes, he says, will surely come “from the group that’s in that clubhouse right now.” Deadline moves are likelier to function as “supplements” to the roster core.
  24. Vanimal46
    Pathetic, really... Couldn't agree more. Fix the pitching, now.
  25. Vanimal46
    Just once, set the market for trades. Outbid the big market teams for the top pitching talent rumored in trades... Do.Something.Falvine.
