    ..then get inducted into the Hall of Fame in five years...
  2. theBOMisthebomb
    Joe Maier (does he count?), JT Chagrois, and Kepler

    We could get Souhan to write another hatchet job and investigate the eating habits of Rosario by using his insider's access. Or, possibly, these are typical fluctuations and Rosario hasn't really lost a step. The other players his age have also seen fluctuations, this is simply a statistical anomaly and Rosario will probably bounce back.

    Not surprising you haven't heard of him since you cannot buy his jersey at Target Field.

    Amen. Jack Morris deserves the Hall of Fame induction. There are no qualifiers or disclaimers - Jack was one of the best of his time and came through when the spotlight was brightest.

    The greatest Twin ever. Without him, this franchise would probably have no titles and would be a laughingstock. Kirby meant so much to the Twins, Minnesota sports fans, Minneapolis, and the entire state of Minnesota. Then the fall from grace. So is life.

    It makes me want to really appreciate the game and how special all MLB players are. Also, I love going to the independent St. Paul Saints and watching those guys truly play for the love of the game. Baseball is the greatest game and we should really soak it in and enjoy the games.

    I have to give some credit to Molly as his baserunning genius must have quite an influence on his club.
  9. theBOMisthebomb
    Take off, eh. You hoser.
  10. theBOMisthebomb
    The Twins will keep Joe if he repeats or betters in 2018 what he did in 2017.
  11. theBOMisthebomb
    Just the way he always looked so READY TO HIT every time he came to the plate.
  12. theBOMisthebomb
    The Twins should treat Phil Hughes as a lost cause and expect zero production. When/if Hughes does give the club something it should be construed as nothing but a bonus. As far as May, it would be great to see him get his chance in the starting rotation and the Twins rewarded for their patience.

    Blasphemy! I would be in withdrawal symptoms and detox if I stayed away from TD so long that I forgot my password. Nice to see you back.
  14. theBOMisthebomb
    What is the future for J.T. Chargois? The high hopes entering 2017 have dimmed to now there is no buzz. I hope he can get back on track in 2018 and contribute in the Twins bullpen.
  15. theBOMisthebomb
    Agreed. This is one of the reasons why I was against trading Dozier last offseason for a pitching prospect. Dozier is a gamer and a winner and a team leader (who is also a great player) and I want a guy like him on my team as long as possible.
  16. theBOMisthebomb
    He was successful everywhere he went, pretty much from day one. So, looking back on it maybe his successful career should not even be any bit of a surprise. Interesting he was not drafted after his junior year of college.
  17. theBOMisthebomb
    The Twins will sign Mauer for 2-3 more years.. because, well, we are Minnesota by the way and that is how we do things. Joe will have a similar year to 2017 in 2018-2020 and be part of a winning club that goes deep into the postseason. I hope he hangs around here long enough to add a Gold Glove to boost his Hall of Fame chances and also to bring a World Series title home.
  18. theBOMisthebomb
    The Twins will out perform these projections for the most part.
  19. theBOMisthebomb
    Didn't his assists take a dip the last two years? I thought he was a better outfielder defensively that what you portray, I wonder why the defensive value was -6.2 in 2017? It was 2.2 in 2015 and -1.4 in 2016 - I just don't see how his defense decreased so drastically in 2017. Those numbers don't pass my eyeball test unless his 2015 numbers were increased by the higher number of assists. The traditional stats of errors and fielding percentage are better in 2017 as opposed to 2015. I don't recall his range decreasing in 2017 so I am stumped by the -6.2.
  20. theBOMisthebomb
    You are spot on that Kepler is on the verge of a breakthrough. The Twins need to take the same approach they took with Buxton in 2017 - play Max every day and let him work it out and get the needed experience - including against left handed pitching.
  21. theBOMisthebomb
    What does Miguel Sano's resolution look like? I am guessing much different than a week or so back.
  22. theBOMisthebomb
    Extend him so that he can retire as a Twin. That is most likely 4-5 years. He is too valuable and is the cornerstone of the franchise and the leader of the team. The one thing not considered too much here is what are Dozier's feelings on the matter? My gut instinct is that Dozier wants to stay loyal to the Twins and stay with this franchise while at the same time being paid top dollar (well deserved top dollar).
  23. theBOMisthebomb
    That is a lot of first time pitchers, especially for an 85 win team. My hope is that 2017 was a transition year and the Boy Wonders can stabilize the pitching staff in 2018.
  24. theBOMisthebomb
    The whole blog within a blog conundrum kept popping into my mind and I think you eloquently stated the issue. I see the benefit to getting more views due to the large numbers here at Twins Daily. However, I don't like being at the mercy of another site and being buried.

    If the Twins don't sign Darvish then they need to try to grow the pitching staff organically, as they have with the position players. It has been at least a generation since the Twins have built a home grown pitching staff, now is the time for the Boy Wonders to earn their keep and promote from within. Going into sell mode is frightening for the average Twins fan. The Twins have rarely (if ever) sold valuable assets with an eye to building a team long term or even 'flipping' valuable assets to bolster the chance for a title today. Not to mention, we all have David Ortiz in the back of our minds so trading a player like Sano gives us the cold sweats. My preference is to roll with the talent we have today and add a top notch pitcher and let's see where this new generation of talent will lead us.
