  1. Didn’t see it officially announced anywhere, but I see that Paddack is now on the 60-day IL which makes room for Solano
  2. I saw Gallo taking some practice at first yesterday. (At least pretty sure it was him.)
  3. I think they are more concerned about Polanco at this point, but could be both. I’ve gotta think someone is traded at this point.
  4. I'll preface this question with I'm more of a 'feels' person. I know that ST is just an exciting time ... players getting back into it, they are with their teammates again, it's the fun moment where so much is possible. But do you discern a different attitude coming in this year? I saw quotes online about Buxton talking about getting that ring, Correa's leadership, Max's 'zen-like' approach, people excited ... is there a 'click' to this year, more so than other years? Or maybe a different mindset? Or is this all just 'It's the start of ST and everyone is just hyped up'? And maybe considering last year, and previous years with the pandemic, this year is the most 'normal' they've had in several years.
  5. He didn’t spend significant time on the IL last year, wasn’t injured at the end of last season, so I see no need for an update at this point
  6. Thanks, John! This time of year, I like everything and anything I hear and am just giddy.
  7. We’ve seen comments here and there that Kirilloff is swinging freely … from what you see so far, is the optimism real?
  8. Yes ... when ST opens, which is the first day of 'pitchers and catchers' is when teams can put players on the 60-day IL
  9. I know position players like getting there early even though official report day for them isn’t until next week, but who isn’t there yet?
  10. Can’t wait! I’ll be there next week, yippee!
  11. No, it’s tomorrow. Players can be put on the 60-day when pitchers and catchers report as that’s the first official day of ST
  12. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2023/02/twins-interested-in-brad-hand.html Should they ... will they?

  14. They were fun and clever … and I had fun reading them!
  15. Stop it ... this is about how he pitches. If he's good who cares about his last name. Find another forum to complain about this non-issue.
  16. Maybe ... have to go to that one, too
  17. What was that other buffet place people used to flock to?
  18. Uh, they still have those? I have never been to one ... so ... I haven't missed out?
  19. Instead of talking about who could be an ace, maybe clarify ... who could have an ace-like season? I would guess any one of 3 or 4 of our pitchers could have a career, ace-like season ... I think there is that potential. But ... to be described as a flat out ace? I would guess there aren't many today who could go by that, and no one on the Twins would qualify, imho. I dislike the 'ace' discussions, because we all deem that to be different ... who's the team's ace, who is ace-like, who is an ace ... it gets convoluted and confusing pretty quickly. For me, I like our rotation's potential. No more Bundy/Shoemaker/Happ/Archer types. That makes our rotation much improved over the previous year. But as to an ace ... I think Santana (Johan, not the other one) was our last true ace. I don't see Gray as being that ... but maybe he will pull it out and have an ace-like year. We can hope. And wouldn't that be nice.
  20. Every once in a while I crave a Big Mac ... I mean, what's not to like? But it's probably been 40 yrs since I had one. Does that mean I'm on my way to Heaven?
  21. Nah ... clickbaits will still be clickbaiting
  22. And what did you think? Good to meet you in person after so many years!
