    This is some heady stuff when you start talking about best hitting [X] ever. That is definitely something to bookmark and track for 2020. How about 90 Bombas from these two (50 from Sano and 40 from Donaldson)? Could 90 be a reality? It's still February with it being a leap year so I will allow myself to dream.

    I'd rather the HRs come organically and that Arraez stays true to his core nature and what we saw in 2019. The sky is the limit with Arraez, I like the comparison to Rod Carew that I heard Roy Smalley talk about last season. There is still room in today's homerun crazy game for a hitter like Arraez.

    Yes, the strikeouts are sickening and when they come in bunches they seem to have no end in sight. Overall, I am excited about Sano's upside at first base and think we will look back in a few years and wonder why the Twins didn't slide Sano over to first base 1-2 seasons sooner.

    I understand the desire to increase the popularity of baseball to ensure it stays healthy in the future. That being said, I have come to the conclusion that baseball is fine how it is (for the most part) and we need to let the game stand on its own merits. I am not against change, I just don't want to compromise the integrity of the sport and throw away everything, including strong aspects. This (and other similar studies) have been showing up the last few years so there are some signs baseball might see a revival: https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.usatoday.com/amp/40002827

    I had to double check to see if this was satire or Stu angling for some laughs. The current setup is great as baseball is the only of the four major sports that can present an All-Star game that is very nearly the same as a competitive regular season game. The mini games and competitions talked about bore me. The home run derby is enough.

    Donaldson certainly appears to be a future coach/MLB manager. It's great that he wants to mentor the younger guys and I honestly think there is some real world value to the process.
  7. theBOMisthebomb
    Why would the Twins want a Buxton 2.0 with much of the same downsides? I am more than happy plugging in Jake Cave fulltime if Buxton gets hurt.
  8. theBOMisthebomb
    I don't remember this amount of confidence and swagger from a Gardy era club during spring training. I see this raising of the expectations as a positive thing for the Twins and quite refreshing in this town.
  9. theBOMisthebomb
    It seems the majority of Twins fans on sites such as Twins Daily don't fit what I consider the typical Twins fan/resident of Twin Cities greater metropolitan area/outstate Minnesota mold.

    The last few years I have read these types of 'go to spring training' writeups and walk away feeling worse. It's a no duh no brainer that it's nice to be somewhere warm in February instead of Minnesota. While I appreciate the details on the ins and outs of the actual spring training activities, I can do without the preaching and humble bragging about how everyone needs to get there. Not everyone has the resources, time, or calendar flexibility to make it to Florida for spring training. Call me jealous or a hater if you want, I don't care. This post comes across as too much rubbing the noses of the poor Minnesotans in feces that can't make it to spring training. I will see you at Target Field on Opening Day, I guess.

    All trades are graded as incomplete until many years later. With Graterol so young, we may not really know until 10 years down the line. Although, if this trade is a brick in the Twins winning a World Series title then it's an A+ regardless if Graterol has a lights out 15 year career.
  12. theBOMisthebomb
    Never mind. Nothing to see here.
  13. theBOMisthebomb
    We all have this friend. Brilliant.
  14. theBOMisthebomb
    I still get confused and think that JC Romero is making a comeback or something when I see the Romero name.
  15. theBOMisthebomb
    The dude hits 30+bombas and 100+ RBI yet we are questioning his status due to shaky defensive metrics? Sometimes a situation can get over analyzed and new information can blind us from long standing truths that still have some merit.

    Man, I hope you are the prosecutor when I go on a crime spree. “These things happened. They. All. Happened. All of them!” It’s why stripping the Astros' World Series title is nonsensical, and it’s why Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Rose, and Jackson all belong in The Hall." Why punish the guilty and strip away their ill-gotten gains? It's called justice and making things things right. The Astros are low down dirty cheaters and deserve no titles and no rewards. Why is it ok to cheat, get rewarded with a World Series championship, then get a slap on the wrist a few years later? It isn't. The Astros must not be allowed to keep their title. If they do it threatens the integrity of the game. What a joke. Yes, your Honor I robbed that bank. These things happened. Why don't you give me a slap on the wrist and let me keep my dirty money and freedom. That's basically what has happened so far with the Astros. If a student cheats on a test and gets caught do they get to keep their grade? No. They are given an F and punished. I will never recognize the Astros as 2017 champions. I don't understand the logic of not dropping the hammer on the Astros and stripping their title. Yes, it happened. So what. It's time for the Astros to make restitution. I am hopping mad and want heads to roll for real. Take the title away.
  17. theBOMisthebomb
    I am ok with that. Barry Bonds is a disgrace.
  18. theBOMisthebomb
    First and most importantly, stripping the title protects the integrity of the game. I refuse to acknowledge blatant cheaters as champions of anything and so should MLB. Yes, it takes down a banner that is ill-gotten gains. If you get caught cheating on a test in school do you think you should still get the test grade achieved while cheating? How about a criminal convicted of financial crimes? The criminal pays restitution to the victim. The victims in the Astros case are Dodgers fans and fans of baseball that want to protect the integrity of the sport. As it stands now, Hinch and Luhnow feel some pain. Not much though, I have already seen rumors Hinch will not have a problem finding a job after his suspension. The rich owner gets a $5 million fine, saves face by canning the manager and GM, keeps his team and title. The Astros didn't win. They cheated. We don't know what the results would have been with no cheating. What if you were playing poker, lose a hand for big $, then find your opponent was cheating? Would you think the cheater should keep your money? I am stumped why anyone thinks the Astros should keep their title now that we have facts and an admission of guilt. This seems like basic grade school logic to me. Astros fans are not getting punished, they have to take the hit for supporting cheaters and are collateral damage.

    Strip the Astros of their 2017 World Series title. Today. Do it now.

    The saddest part of the story is that he was already asleep on New Year's Eve.
  21. theBOMisthebomb
    What am I missing here? "Cruz was also a late bloomer in terms of MLB players and that will hurt his career numbers because of his lack of longevity." Cruz has 401 HRs, which means only 56 other players have more HRs. If he hits 40 HRs in 2020 then he jumps to 43rd place in the all time HR list. How is this a lack of longevity? He's 40 years old and still producing, isn't that the definition of longevity? I guess I agree with the banned substance argument since I don't think Barry Bonds should ever be in the HOF.
  22. theBOMisthebomb
    "production, age, upside, pedigree, health, length of team control, favorability of contract, positional scarcity (within the system, and generally)" and Rogers drops from #10 in 2019 to #12?!? I fail to see how that's possible using the criteria you set forth.
  23. theBOMisthebomb
    The eye test says that Rosario is not that terrible in the field. Despite the fact that I was at the game last season where he hot dogged against the Mets and dropped an easy fly ball with two outs leading to a position player needing the finish the inning. I checked what Fangraphs has to say about Eddie's defense in 2019 and they have his UZR at -5.6 (below average is -5 and poor is -10). Eddie's UZR/150 is -6.7.
  24. theBOMisthebomb
    This list gives me faith in the strength and depth of the Twins organization. It's time to focus on the potential of this club and put the disappointing offseason up to this point in the rear view mirror. The Vikings won yesterday and spring training is in sight if you squint.
  25. theBOMisthebomb
    Whatever. If you want to be a mindless lemming, so be it. Why insult others with a different vantage point?
