    Maybe less Buxton in CF in April/May, until it warms up a bit

    The 0-2 pinch hit walk was legendary. He's a nice player

    I enjoyed this piece. My hope for this Falvey Rocco regime regarding analytics was some innovation and implementation of new or different analytics, rather than chasing something Tampa figured out a few years ago. And I don't know what I don't know of course so they probably are. Less Bundy and Archer will help in the long run as far as 3rd time through the order so let's see how 2023 shakes out.

    If things are going right then Gordon might be expendable in a mid-season trade for some bullpen help. Too many health questions to outfielders at this point
  5. lukeduke1980
    It should probably be fine if it's front loaded. 40 per for 5 years, 20 per on the last 4, roughly.
  6. lukeduke1980
    This crossed my mind too that FO might be thinking you can never have too many outfielders after Celestino Cave Contreras became the regulars
  7. lukeduke1980
    Nobody will give up a near top of the rotation starter for that

    Twins sign Joey Gallo to minor league deal with invitation to spring training is the only way this made sense

    I thought the Royce Lewis experience last season was the most exciting Twins baseball since bomba ball. Figure out how to get and keep that young man healthy and build around him.

    Is there a chance Swanson signs a Correa 1 year deal so he can have another 6 war year and go into 2023 offseason as the main SS prize? Seems like the path to get Bogarts money
  11. lukeduke1980
    I would think other teams could top those packages
  12. lukeduke1980
    Twins were 20th in attendance and I expect season ticket interest to be down as inflation lingers. Hard to imagine any big contracts being handed out by this team.
  13. lukeduke1980
    And they're getting pretty expensive so you're better off making your own at home
  14. lukeduke1980
    Kind of have to let the dust settle on the big 4 then agree maybe an IFK or Gavin Lux could be had
  15. lukeduke1980
    I say let's not try to out-Tampa Bay Tampa Bay. Move on and find a full time RH RF.

    Surely if all teams got mono, the Twins would not only get mono but take way longer to recover, and require scheduled off days in the 2023 season for all 26 players which just happen to fall on the same day, where fans will pay 16 dollars per beer to watch Jake Cave and the Saints play at Target Field.

    I expect Boras to use the Twins as leverage against the field.
  18. lukeduke1980
    A more rigid lineup. Injuries aside, it still felt like a different lineup every game. Players through the years have reiterated that as important.
  19. lukeduke1980
    Completely agree - read the room. 'Gosh Minnesota is nice the people are friendly we had a challenging year I've got the best agent on the planet I hope to heck we can work something out. If not I understand baseball is a business....'
  20. lukeduke1980
    Yes I was going to add that its clearly the uniforms, and specifically the font. This way the Correa t shirt jerseys will be on the clearance rack, but so will everybody's because it's the old design.
  21. lukeduke1980
    I would consider Kepler as 4th outfielder/2nd CFer for next season and hope to sign a starting caliber RF. 4th OF on this team will play quite a bit.
  22. lukeduke1980
    The opening day eve trade when the team seemed to be bullpen challenged already The Buxton 100 game plan after the high of him signing the team friendly deal The elation of signing Correa followed by 50 RBI through August The success of the 5 and flies with Bundys but pulling Gray and Ryan into that same program The excitement of the trade deadline followed by the offense disappearing and Mahle In summary frustrating because of the highs and lows
  23. lukeduke1980
    If a person or staff is most associated with health/injuries then I assume then he or they will take the fall for 2022. It would likely be a longer route of logic for that to be Rocco. It could still happen, I'd be surprised. That will be the 2022 narrative though.
  24. lukeduke1980
    I know Cease was dealing but 7-0 shouldn't be considered insurmountable for a playoff contending team.
  25. lukeduke1980
    Winning a playoff game would be huge.
