    " The Yankees package is cool but I'm not trading any of our best players to a rival " I wonder if the Yankees realize this rivalry exists?
  2. Scott51104
    Mendez has been struggling for a while now.
  3. Scott51104
    Shelton (and his staff) has been a pleasant surprise to me.

    "Not really. They could give extensions to Royce Lewis and Taj Bradley and front-load the money." I have read with interest as some other clubs (KC and CWS for example) have been signing young players to longer contracts prior to the necessity of doing so. I think (but cannot prove) that this would send a message to fans that ownership is prepared to take chances to improve the team. I would support the Twins extending a pitcher and non-pitcher (or more). Bradley sounds good. I would offer Mendez, but I must recuse myself as the founder of the "Why Don't They Play Him at First" foundation (501(c3) pending.)

    Great plays by Martin and Rosario (2019). Also interesting that, in both cases, the pitcher was Taylor Rogers.

    "Maybe Royce should burn his bats and start over with a complete new set of bats. Seriously. " That would be a shame. They look like they've never been used.

    Good job Mendez
  8. Scott51104
    Interesting that the defensive improvement occurred this year. Kudos to Sizemore, but one would hope this could have occurred earlier.
  9. Scott51104
    Pleased to see Jenkins getting a double due to his hustle.
  10. Scott51104
    Cave was not a great player, but he always hustled, even on routine grounders to second.
  11. Scott51104
    Though I have only "seen" Mendez via box scores or these great game re-caps, I am a Mendez fan. Good to see he played a little at first base. I hope he does more of that.
  12. Scott51104
    Good catch by the fan in the leftfield bleachers.
  13. Scott51104
    Better Bobby Witt-Light than Bobby Witt-Less.
  14. Scott51104
    I remain hopeful that the Twins actually will play Mendez at first base (in the minors) in 2026, rather than just saying it is an option.
  15. Scott51104
    How accurate was the PECOTA projection for the Twins in 2025?
  16. Scott51104
    I hope the Twins play Mendez at first in 2026 (in the minors).
  17. Scott51104
    "Shane Mack and his 19.6 fWAR as a Twin is called underrated. That's not wrong, but I'd say Bob Allison and his 35.3 fWAR (4.2 of which came as a Senator pre-move) is more underrated. Folks a bit older than me speak about Allison with glowing terms. It's easy to be overlooked when you are batting behind Carew-Oliva-Killebrew. " Opposing second basemen would vote for Mack over Allison if there was going to be a close play at second.
  18. Scott51104
    Good chance
  19. Scott51104
    Or Jeffers may play some first base
  20. Scott51104
    Maybe there is a scenario for keeping both for a few months, if Roden could use that time to study Outman's black hole.
  21. Scott51104
    "This would offer me some hope if it happened and I'd be led to believe that they actually have a clue of what they are doing." So you agree it will not be happening.
  22. Scott51104
    When I read the headline, I thought the Twins got Shelton AND Skenes. Apparently not.
  23. Scott51104
    "1.074sec - 0.938sec = Brooks Lee's throw reaches 1st base .136 seconds later than the average MLB SS. Runner traveling 27ft/sec x .136sec = 3.7 feet. That's what Brooks Lee's arm gives up relative to the average MLB shortstop. A bang-bang out play becomes an easy infield hit by almost 4 feet if Brooks Lee is throwing the ball." Enjoyed the math. Reminded me of my dad.
  24. Scott51104
    second-ranked prospect Jhostynxon Garcia (right-handed hitting outfielder) Does Dan Gladden get to vote on trade options?
  25. Scott51104
    My appreciation for Clemens grew when one of our pitchers fielded a bunt (or swinging bunt), threw wildly to first, and Clemens, playing second base, caught the errant throw on the fly.
