    My knee jerk reaction was a solid no for Torii. You spun a good case so i looked at JAWS, where Torii is at 34, right behind guys like Curtis Granderson, Ellis Burks, Devon White, and Brett Butler. Hall of Very Good may be more appropriate.

    Or, the Twins now get Rich Hill from opening day (the Strib recently projected a mid-July return), Maeda won't wear down and get sent to the bullpen, and Graterol will essentially lose a year of development.

    The amount and frequency of the strikeouts is sickening. Yes, it will eventually catch up to Sano, good work on the Prince Fielder comp. One of the baseball principles I grew up with was that you cannot get a hit if you don't put the ball in play.

    If both sides end up scuttling the 2020 season and get portrayed as greedy pigs unable to split a $3 billion pie then they will lose many fans.

    I know it doesn't get any better as this series makes its way to 2019, however, it is getting really old to have a great regular season followed by a thud in the playoffs.
  6. theBOMisthebomb
    Yes. The lousy, cheating Astros title from a few years ago is still considered legitimate so 2020 should have no issues in comparison. World War II had players lost to war service including big names such as Ted Williams, Stan Musial, and Joe DiMaggio and those years are all considered valid.

    Two Gardy era teams on this list is too much.

    Ditto, this has been a great series so far. I am in the camp that Johan losing out on this Cy Young derailed any chance of a serious HOF candidacy. I still can't recall Mauer stealing bases, although I know he was a great all around athlete as I watched him play high school football.

    Wasn't the celebration in the clip subdued because it was the Twins only clinching a tie for the division instead of outright winning the division?

    Thanks for the memories. Taking a detailed dive like this really highlights how much fun and how special it is to follow a team long term. Johnny Damon on the Royals! I haven't thought of that game in 20 years, it's weird to spark that memory of such an obscure game.

    Fear is the opposite of faith and there are no guarantees in life (especially in this COVID-19 new normal). If baseball does things the right way and uses common sense and logic in regard to safety then things should (hopefully) be OK. To call the season off quibbling over dollars would be a travesty and tbe lost fans will dwarf the 1994 numbers.

    It wasn't as horrible as I was expecting.
  13. theBOMisthebomb
    I will echo what others have said so far and state that I expect Mitch to be solid behind the plate for the next 3-5 years. I love the swing and disciplined plate approach and it should serve Mitch well as he ages.

    A.J was a legit pick. The guy acted like a horse's patooty. Don't hate Jeter because he roasted our Twinkies for all those years. He was the epitome of class. Even though the Twins beat the Cardinals in the 1987 World Series, Ozzie Smith always annoyed me to aggravation.
  15. theBOMisthebomb
    Even though he had one rough start against the Twins last season, I fell like Lucas Giolito will be in this list in 10 years.
  16. theBOMisthebomb
    And Punto!
  17. theBOMisthebomb
    Either go universal DH or no DH at all. I am totally against expanded playoffs and neutral site World Series in principle. However, I will take what I can get this season. Anything to make MLB more like the NFL is a loss for MLB so I would hope the neutral site World Series would be a one-time deal.
  18. theBOMisthebomb
    July 1 with no fans in the stands seems the most optimistic and aggressive prediction for the start of the MLB season.
  19. theBOMisthebomb
    Minnesota Vikings 1999 NFC Championship game and Gary Bleeping Anderson and his ONLY miss of the season. Not much for the Twins since they have either won the World Series as underdogs, lost to superior teams in the playoffs (Yankees) or been mediocre. The Vikings are the Minnesota team that has broken hearts.
  20. theBOMisthebomb
    Tough division for our Twins. Who cares, right? I will keep praying for baseball, not sweat the details, and hope for the best.
  21. theBOMisthebomb
    Buxton is the best defender I have ever seen. Now, his success is obviously in spurts here and there so it depends on your criteria if he should win something like this.
  22. theBOMisthebomb
    Interesting, I didn't know Carew wrote a book. I remember reading Lau and Ted Williams' books, both back in the 1980s. I also had a videotape of Lau's.
  23. theBOMisthebomb
    Slim pickins at 3B and SS. What a strange decade, the franchise really saw all ends of the spectrum.
  24. theBOMisthebomb
    I am afraid that piling COVID-19 on top of the existing MiLB contraction plan is not good news to franchises such as Elizabethton. I can see new independent leagues popping up if the economy kick starts and society can get back to large gatherings such as baseball games. That might not be until 2022 at the earliest that a new league could get started. There are lots of obstacles that didn't exist even 60 days ago.
  25. theBOMisthebomb
    Why didn't the Vikings draft an offensive lineman?
