    I'll always remember that one day he went 3-4. And that one week where people clamored for him to start more games. Much simpler times back then, when we thought the team could be good.
  2. Vanimal46
    I would look at their career stats again and rephrase... Nunez has been better than Escobar from an OPS standpoint up until this year.
  3. Vanimal46
    There's no prospect I want to see right now but that's not really a factor in the decision anymore IMO. If they were an 85 win team it would of course. But not really for an 85 loss team. I think the better return for trade will come from Escobar, and I'm skeptical of the career year at 29... We've seen that episode before from the versatile Eddie Nunez, who, 2 years later is putting up -1 bWAR.

    It's not like Mauer is playing every day right now. There's room next year to have him play 100 games as a fill in starter at 1B/DH. I think we're putting the cart before the horse with Rooker. Let him earn his way into the lineup instead of handing it to him.

    Very interesting stuff, thanks! If the Twins are hiring for that position of Hitting Advisor, I think you have a good chance getting the job!

    Worst case, I'm sure the FO has a 34+ year old waiver wire target in mind If some are looking for an aggressive overpay it's not going to happen anyways. If they can get a borderline top 100 prospect like Mejia for Nunez I'd make the trade.

    Soooo safe to say innings reduction isn't a concern for Romero?
  8. Vanimal46
    Does it really matter who gets the innings at 3B the rest of the year? Will Escobar help the Twins achieve 75 wins instead of 70?
  9. Vanimal46
    Berrios has been great. Well deserved!
  10. Vanimal46
    This is their best chance to win 6 games in a row! Enjoy the moment.

    I'd feel good about their chances if they played Baltimore and KC 75 more times... Alas.

    Over/under July 31, 2019 when Jon Kemmer is called up?
  13. Vanimal46
    Nice to see the Twins win against teams they should beat. Baltimore is very bad, and about to get worse when they trade Machado, Britton, and Adam Jones.
  14. Vanimal46
    Have the Twins ever exceeded their draft pool allotment? IFA included... I don't think they've ever done it.

    Why use a 24 year old LH reliever when you can sign a 35 year old LH reliever instead? - Paul Molitor

    I've got the catfish ready...

    He made it across the tightrope again... Nice one Lynnsy

    I played sequence for the first time in 15+ years at a brewery not too long ago. Still a fun game!

    After last offseason it's certainly possible agents adjust their method and advise players to accept the QO.

    John Sickels' thoughts on Byron Buxton. https://www.minorleagueball.com/2018/7/5/17532004/what-should-the-twins-do-with-byron-buxton
  21. Vanimal46
    If he cared about that, he would have asked for a trade years ago. Without knowing him personally, it sure seems like all he wants to do is play for his home state's team, and be close to his family.
  22. Vanimal46
    I think the Twins could easily swap out Granite from the 40 man and replace him with Wade at this time. Granite has been a disaster in AAA this year.
  23. Vanimal46
    They have players to offer. 4 prospects on top 100 lists. Lewis being the gem of the organization. The question remains is it smart to give up the assets necessary to make the trade? Not sure if I can answer that anymore given how badly this season has gone.
  24. Vanimal46
    I'm right there with you. Problem is are we going to say keep Gibson in June 2019? I don't have any confidence saying that. It's possible he is experiencing a Charlie Morton-like improvement that's sustainable through his early 30s. But I've been burned time and time again by Gibby.

    Casual fans don't care about this team. My mom said it best while they were visiting... Her and my dad attended over 20 games last summer. She knew the typical lineup. This year? She asked who that player was batting 5-9 in the lineup. My response is it doesn't matter he's not going to stick around in the future. The on field product isn't going to generate more interest this season. Or probably next season either. They better upgrade the beer and food options again at Target Field....
