    I think, as the roster stands today, for 2021 they deal Rosario then let Rooker/Larnach/Kiriloff battle it out in Spring Training. If one struggles to adapt, they have the others (and Cave) as backup plans. That's also pretending it's business as usual in 2021. I see Wade as valuable, but not in the picture for a starting role. Given how Rocco rests players and the loss of a year of minor league development, they can get by with 4 "starters". Especially if Marwin is gone and Kepler still has a big split in LHP/RHP. Anyway, getting off track here. Best of luck in recovery for Rooker. At least he got a taste of The Show. Far fewer prospects get to say that this year.

    I can't think of an example where a poor defender was moved from OF to IF at the MLB level (not counting 1B).
  4. Shaitan
    Wade is a nice player. So was Brian Duensing. He's not going to get anything in return.
  5. Shaitan
    We definitely don't spending enough time at TwinsDaily worrying about the Twins.
  6. Shaitan
    Now if Rocco suddenly declared Romo today's opener...that would be different.

    Bunch of nothing. Benches cleared...then the two sides stood and talked (Sano, Gonzalez, Lindor). Yes, there's some history here from the last series or two but I don't see it as a big deal at this point. Flare ups happen from time to time. This was peaceful and didn't explode. Let's hope everyone moves on. You can tell a serious bench clearing incident from a token one. Just watch how the Twins bullpen meanders onto the field.

    The Twins have depth to the point where a short-term injury doesn't hurt them much. I love how well they've built this team, because all of those names are fine (assuming this isn't a serious injury). As Twins_89 said, it's too bad Gordon isn't healthy because this would finally be his chance. But I'm not going to blame a guy for catching a contagious virus.

    Sano the bouncer and peacekeeper. I like it.

    I'm happy about this. Arraez has been subpar and playing while injured for the past month. It's obviously not getting better. Let him heal.
  11. Shaitan
    And locked into a 3-year deal.
  12. Shaitan
    What's the incentive to win the division if the top 8 teams make the playoffs and there are no home games?
  13. Shaitan
    I've never seen any interest, just internet speculation.
  14. Shaitan
    "2020 Midseason Farm System Rankings"? Good one, MLB. What with 0 minor league games played.

    I could not figure out Dobnak's box score. I missed the HBP. Thanks! I wonder if this was a test run for postseason: seeing how Dobnak performs on short rest. I get the feeling Rocco is managing "September baseball" right now, keeping his eye on the prize more than the current day's game.

    Manfred is making Selig look great by comparison.
  17. Shaitan
    Love it. While I don't love the universal DH, it's a huge benefit for the Twins. (Still surprised he didn't play a single OF inning last year in interleague.) And it likely means his wrist is 100% this year.
  18. Shaitan
    I'm kind of fascinated at Rocco's use the #6 spot as the weak one in the lineup. Not fascinated enough to research why, but I def see a pattern.
  19. Shaitan
    Is this Cruz's first game off this year?
  20. Shaitan
    "There is nothing to lose"... except for baseball games. They're winning when they play bullpen games. That's what matters.
  21. Shaitan
    Buxton also strikes out a lot and hits a lot of first pitch pop-ups. I'm not walking the hitter who had batted ninth for the Twins the past 3 years in this scenario.
  22. Shaitan
    I hope so. But we said that about Perez last year too.
  23. Shaitan
    I see no correlation here. How many teams have made big trades and not won the World Series? Way more.
  24. Shaitan
    If Arraez can't be counted on to play regularly and he isn't hitting, they may as well put him on IL and let him fully heal. Though he's looked a little better lately.
  25. Shaitan
    Easing him back after an injury.
