    The biggest concern is his streakiness. If he can avoid the prolonged slumps then we might have something really special. And of course, the hair.

    Tip of the cap to #10. Congrats!

    You lightly touched on it with Polanco comments... my bigger picture concern is who will play shortstop and provide any defense and offensive production if Polanco fails or even when Polanco is on the bench.
  4. theBOMisthebomb
    If Polanco at shortstop would be disastrous, why keep him if we sign a free agent? Cut him loose at that point, who cares if we sign a veteran and he is out of options? Why not play him and know for sure what we really have.

    Optimism and being a bit of a homer since spring training hasn't started yet and hope springs eternal. Mix that with a dose of we gotta get some lucky breaks after 2016, the young bats progress, Phil Hughes and Berrios have good seasons, and the power bat hoped for still to come arrives and performs.

    If the Twins keep Dozier and then add one of the remaining big bats on the free agent market then with a few breaks they could potentially hang around the wild card race into September. They should not deal Dozier just to get "something". They should continue to hold out for maximum value.

    Let's give the "F&L boys" some time to really show us what they are all about. Rome wasn't built in a day and they were left quite a mess. I like the foundation of the lineup with the young guys Kepler, Buxton, Sano, et al. Not certain what to do with the starting rotation other than to go as young as realistically possible and let them take their lumps and progress. To your point # 4 - I feel if they add another legitimate bat to the lineup such as Bautista and get a few good seasons from unexpected sources then they could possibly contend for a wild card spot. It is not much to hang your hat on, though at least it would be something.

    The writing is on the wall that Murphy has some competition now that the Twins signed Chris Gimenez. The Twins need to give Vargas a sustained chance of 500+ PAs to really know what they have. He has flashed too much talent and potential to not get a shot.
  9. theBOMisthebomb
    Do otherteams with 90+ losses in 5 of the last 6 seasons and 100+ losses last season have the same roster crunch problems the Twins have? It doesn't compute.

    Rondell White. Tommy Herr (maybe). At the time, ol ' Tommy seemed like the worst Twin ever - not sure what the #s actually say.
  11. theBOMisthebomb
    Until something actually happens and a deal gets done this has become boring.
  12. theBOMisthebomb
    Bonds was just an obvious cheat and disgrace to the integrity of the game that he should never be enshrined into the Hall of Fame.
  13. theBOMisthebomb
    The Twins just need to play him every day and let his talent shine through. Put him in the best position to be successful and demand that he get in shape, get his mental makeup straight, and then the rest is up to Sano. If Sano flops out it would be the biggest disappointment I could envision. He is too good to fail, though a small part of me says it is a potential reality. At this point they need to support him the best they can and let him sink or swim on his own.

    Nice summary. The bullpen wasn't as bad as remembered for a 103 loss team. Then I realized that Mr. Jepsen wasn't included in this recap. Anyway, it's nice to remember we have some building blocks in the bullpen. What to do with the closer spot - I don't see Kintzler as the long term answer there.
  15. theBOMisthebomb
    I see it as a can't lose for the Twins. Either we deal Dozier for some prospects to build for the future or two more years of his bat and hair. Agreed that he will probably lose value, although who's to say there won't be new teams interested at the trade deadline in July?
  16. theBOMisthebomb
    Anyone who even makes the minor leagues is a serious stud, so thank you for recognizing all of them.
  17. theBOMisthebomb
    We sucked. Enjoyable moments: Kepler, Dozier, Buxton.
  18. theBOMisthebomb
    Brutal. It's hard to disagree with you. Everyone could have been given an F except for Santana.
  19. theBOMisthebomb
    Molly was outmaneuvered on a consistent basis last year during in game strategy matchups. It felt like it happened once or twice per week.
  20. theBOMisthebomb
    I can see May being an effective super reliever - placed into the game at anytime during key high leverage situations. Much like we saw in the playoffs this fall. I would also support placing him in the rotation.
  21. theBOMisthebomb
    Like Grossman and Rosario. Love Kepler and Buxton! This outfield has the foundation to be the centerpiece of a once again competitive Twins team.
  22. theBOMisthebomb
    Hard to disagree with your analysis. My only issue is with the Park grade of D. We found out he might have been hurt frome the get go and he still posted a 0.1 WAR. That feels like a C grade and I'm still bullish on Park's future.
  23. theBOMisthebomb
    I am not convinced the Twins are going to deal Dozier this offseason. It seems Falvey & Levine LLC are content rolling with Dozier at the start of 2017 and maybe dealing him at the deadline depending on how the season is going. This is my gut feeling.
  24. theBOMisthebomb
    I'm with you that RD was terrible in his own choke job sort of way. He induced nightmares for me many years after he left. The performance by Jepsen in 2016 was reminiscent of RD, just not as bad and in less clutch situations. RD'S son Ike was/is a big leaguer - I booed Ike a few years ago at Target Field for the sins of his father.
