  1. Until he shows he can actually hit this season it doesn't really matter. MAT is just as good at defense as Buxton is at 50% or whatever he will be this year. The Twins can't afford to play both Buxton and Gallo at the same time if they're both striking out 40+% of the time.

  3. Going through the 2022 draft and the only player, at this moment, I would take over Brooks Lee is Jackson Holiday for obvious reasons.
  4. Fun Exercise.. Here's my list: P Johan Santana $3 C Joe Mauer $5 1B Harmon Killebrew $5 2B Brian Dozier $2 3B Steve Braun $2 SS Christian Guzman $1 LF Gary Ward $1 CF Kirby Puckett $5 RF Tony Oliva $5 DH Jim Thome $3 Closer Ron Davis $1
  5. This makes my stomach churn. If the Twins don't draft one of the top five it's going to be so disappointing.
  6. Great post! Just a heads up, you're missing the link to AJ's homerun. It's currently the link to Dozier's homerun.
  7. I'm 100% for anything Olbermann is against. The guy's a clown.
  8. If Polanco stays with the Twins through the end of his contract that just means something serious happened with Correa or the three prospects that would take over his spot (Lewis, Lee or Martin). Assuming Correa stays healthy, Lee and Lewis should be forcing the Twins hand by the end of this season to take over 3rd or 2nd base and potentially both.
  9. Such an odd article that is pure speculation.... Obviously, they know more about their players health than the general public but that doesn't mean there are any serious health issues. They traded Arraez to Miami because he doesn't have a defensive position, he has bad knees / legs, he was at peak value, and they have several options of prospects coming up through the minors who appear to be better overall players. Kiriloff if he can stay health is a much more prototypical 1st baseman. Taller, more athletic, heft handed and hits for more power. Add in Edouard Julien, Brooks Lee and Royce Lewis and the infield is becoming crowded.
  10. Zero reason to give up on him as a starter. Give him at least half the season to show what he can do and if he's still not producing moving him to the bullpen in July and see if he could be a September call up.
  11. At this point I'd rather the Twins just play the rookies this season and get them experience. The Twins have a solid starting pitching staff with Mahle, Gray, Ryan, Ober, Winder, Maeda and Paddock at some point and a much deeper bullpen than they did at the start of last season. If it goes downhill trade off the aging vets: Gray, Maeda, Pagan, Polanco and Kepler. By the end of the season the position players should be as follows: 1st: Arraez or Kiriloff 2nd: Edouard Julien 3rd: Miranda / Lee SS: Lewis Left: Larnach / Gordon Center: Buxton / Gordon Right: Kiriloff / Wallner DH: Arraez / Miranda There will be injuries and ineffectiveness, but playing the rookies should give the front office an idea of where the roster is moving forward.
  12. ha ha. The front office is just grasping at straws now.
  13. I'm bummed there won't be any baby blues going forward but I like all of the tops. I don't love the stripe down the side of the grey pinstripes and like a lot of people the M hats are terrible. They look exactly like the Miami M hats.
  14. No. The Twins don't need more over the hill redemption tour players. Spend the money on legit free agents or make trades for good players. They have plenty of 3-5 starting pitchers and need an ace. They have plenty of outfielders they need to try and give at bats to. Buxton, Kepler, Larnach, Kiriloff (Maybe), Gordon, Walner and Celestino. Plus they might have guys like Austin Martin and Royce Lewis part way through the year. If the Twins sign a legit SS this offseason both Martin and Lewis become outfielders or tradable assets. Unless they're going to spend the money on legit upgrades for the outfield don't waste money on never has beens.
  15. Just more bargain hunting by the Twins. I wouldn't call a career OPS of .839 mashing when it's such a small sample size. He'll be 31 by the time the season starts and only has 186 plate appearances versus lefties.
  16. Go get Sean Murphy! Jeffers has only ever shown flashes of being good in the MLB but nothing sustained.
  17. I love baseball and love going to games but I can honestly say I haven't been to a Twins game since 2019 and I'm glad I haven't wasted my money on the garbage Falvine has put out onto the field.
  18. I know this comment doesn’t belong in this forum but my god have ads absolutely ruined this website. There are so many pop ups and and videos that play every time you scroll down. I have to exit some new ad 10 times just trying to read an article.
  19. Not winning a playoff game in how many years? Being awful last season. Twins aren't on TV for me (youtube.tv) so I just forget about them. I can see the Twins easily falling out of the playoff race once they start facing teams that are actually good.
  20. He played his last game on September 21. The Angels were 6.5 games out of the playoffs with 5ish games left to play. From what I read he cleared out his locker and texted the coaching staff and then just left and gave the pandemic as the reason. I get these are strange times but if you're nervous about the pandemic why not opt out at the beginning of the season? What has changed his mind now a few months later when the US is actually in a worse spot than it was in September? To me, he realized the Angels weren't going to make the playoffs and decided to pack up and leave.
