    He's been great so far... Without him and Eddie we would probably be talking about Total System Failure 2.0. I hope we're also prepared for this to come crashing down. He could finish the season as an .850 OPS player but he's certainly not a .950 OPS guy over a full season.

    I know everyone and their grandma wants to hand Escobar a long term deal... But to piggy back off your milling moments, be patient. Hope he keeps this up as long as possible... But extending someone on a career year is scary.

    I don't think it's a coincidence that the offense looks better with Mauer back in the lineup... There's something to be said about having a seasoned pro lead off, make contact and get on base. He's more than a defensive asset Ted!

    Berrios deserved the win...

    Dogs

    Funny that once you give your dog Independence their hearing becomes selective at times... Still love him, and I know you can hear me!

    Motter in RF. WTF?

    I'm curious what you and others think what criteria is considered to be a top 10 manager? It's tough for me to define how good a manager is. I believe there are some that are better than others like Francona. Does it boil down to intangibles that we as fans can't see and measure?

    That's the dream... The Twins have the money too. It would be quite the accomplishment to sign Machado. I do believe 3B is a priority for next season. Whether it's Escobar, Machado, another FA, or trade. We can't head into next season thinking Sano will be the star 3B we dreamed of. EDIT: Sano would need a complete transformation of his body like Schwarber for me to believe he can play 3B going forward.
  11. Vanimal46
    The options are limited unless they want to give up on what we think are 'core' players. It wouldn't surprise me if Sano is the primary 1B starting next season.

    Lots of sellers out there. The buying teams are going to find steals like this and build up their super teams. KC found some prospects that may develop into something one day though!

    Great read, thanks! I agree something needs to be done to get out of the three true outcomes era. If moving back the pitching rubber is the answer I'm all for it. I just don't see me enjoying baseball long term the way the game is heading right now. Like you said, it takes too long to reach 2 of the 3 outcomes. I'm also bothered by everyone swinging out of their shoes to hit 700 ft HRs instead of simply putting the ball in play.
  14. Vanimal46
    And there will be a ton of sellers. 10 teams are clear sellers right now with a few more bubble teams like NYM, and whoever decides to sell in the NL West. Seems like most "Top players on the trade block" lists are full of RP too.
  15. Vanimal46
    Because of this fascination with hoarding prospects, teams like NYY, BOS, CHC, and LA are going to create super teams... Every trade rumor site out there highlights those teams saying they should target DeGrom, Syndergaard, Machado, etc. They are certainly going to take advantage of the market and be dominant for the foreseeable future.
  16. Vanimal46
    The exception being Bartolo Colon... He's still at peak speed!
  17. Vanimal46
    Now we need that right person to work for Minnesota... It would be nice to transform a player for the better here.
  18. Vanimal46
    If he keeps hitting like this, have no fear... He won't hit the goal he needs to achieve to get the vesting option. Once Sano is done with his intervention I'm guessing he'll be the primary 1B/DH going forward

    Coach K spiked his coffee with whiskey this morning I see...
  20. Vanimal46
    Sigh... Dude can't get healthy. The end is near for May in a Twins uniform.
  21. Vanimal46
    So does everyone else not named Ed, Joe, and Ehire...

    Isn't Erv still shut down from his last rehab appearance? Did I miss news about him?
  23. Vanimal46
    Apathy is setting in for this team. Hard to get worked up anymore when this is what they do week in and week out. They gave Morrison 2.5 months to figure it out and he's still playing bad. It's time to get rid of him. Kepler's struggles against RH pitching is something no one wants to talk about. They don't have 9 MLB-ready replacements on the farm. I guess just let him try to hit through the slump.

    "We had chances" describes the whole season thus far. Another game that was there for the taking and they blow it.

    According to Rhett Bollinger this set back isn't changing his return date of July 2. https://twitter.com/RhettBollinger/status/1007728795229544450?s=19
