    IMO Halladay, simply put...doesn't have the career stats (not even close) for the HOF and I hope MLB doesn't start going NFL-like and letting everybody who had good post-season or Super Bowl stats, get enshrined (see Joe Namath as one example.) IMO Bonds, Sosa, and Clemens, and other steroid-tied players do not belong in the HOF period.

    From 1987 - 2001, Harold Baines never played in the field on defense for more than 24 games in a single season. Most years he was 100% DH and a one dimensional player. A very good player, just not HOF worthy IMO.

    I hope it was just the triceps for Reed and that he can be a veteran presence in our bullpen next year.

    I can see Polanco at SS for another season, especially with so many FA options at 2B. Gonzalex does do much for me and although he is versatile and solid at multiple positions.

    Lower cost, lower risk pick-up. Think of the potential headlines Nick if/when C.J. has a good game or series, "Twins unlease The Krath of Cron" (for you Star Trek fans out there.)

    What a great story, always wondered what happened to Hughsy. A good guy and good player.

    I am excited to see the new renovations and so glad the Twins don't just stand pat when they see a way to improve something at Target Field. I'm secretly hoping they post "something" at Harmon's 520 foot blast, it shattered seats when it landed. Here's a link from featuring Minnesota Twins team curator Clyde Doepner talking about the homerun.

    I hope MLB does not go to the clear bag NFL policy, I like being able to shove in a extra jacket in my bag, snacks, or baseballs if I'm looking for autographs. In moving the large glove commemorating Minnesota Twins gold glove winners 100 feet back toward downtown, they are taking away the significance of the spot where it was originally laid. 520 feet from home plate at Target Field. It was placed in that very spot to commorate the longest homerun hit in Minnesota Twins history by Harmon Killebrew on June 3, 1967. Oh' well.

    This is one of the most positive stories I've read about any single player. Case well-stated.

    I like the thinking outside the box in shifting Rosario to right.
  11. nclahammer
    Good article and interesting moves. I would put Kirilloff on my "no touch" list and I would much rather move Kepler than Rosario, if I had to choose between the two of them.
  12. nclahammer
    I like Bert and Dick working together, but it's also a nice variety to rotate in some other commentators.

    Eddie Rosario's 3 Hr day, capping it with the walk-off was the highlight for me. Optimism for the season was still there, and I almost felt that Rosario could be the hero to carry the team to catching Cleveland. But alas, heroes grow fatigued when they're pretty much the only ones doing the heavy lifting, and Eddie too wore down and limped into the off season.

    Great article on my favorite Minnesota Twin. First time I've ever seen it written about Rosario wearing down in the second half after carrying/leading the team much of the first half. I've always felt that was the case. Congratulations Eddie Rosario and here's to an even better 2019.

    Don't forget about the unicorns too.

    Throughout the minor leagues, Brian Navaretto has been known as a defensive catcher, his lifetime batting average in the minors is just .218. I don't view him as a substantial piece to solving the Twins catching problems unless something dramatically changes in his offensive skill set.

    Thank you Twins Daily writers listed above for your insightful, informative, and entertaining stories this past year. Along with my morning cup of coffee, your reports were a regular part of my morning routine and even led to a couple of road trips down to Cedar Rapids to see some of the talent you were writing about. Thank you and salute.

    I had hoped to see more progress in batting average this year with Max Kepler (.235 lifetime avg.), although I do like his increase tick in walks. Unless he makes strides, I can see him as the odd man out, especially if Buxton bounces back in 2019.
  19. nclahammer
    Great food for thought.
  20. nclahammer
    Whatever we could get for Forsysthe, I'd take & I'd listen to offers for Grossman. I would have keep Odorizzi, good starting pitching doesn't exactly grow on trees.
  21. nclahammer
    Great stuff as always, love catching up on our future Twins. Road-tripping it to Cedar Rapids today to catch their 12:05 game and excited to see Ryan Jeffers and the Kernels.
  22. nclahammer
    I don't understand why he hadn't been given even one start behind the plate either, especially given our present catching situation. The fact Motter is even on the Twins roster speaks volumes.
  23. nclahammer
    Max Kepler is very intriguing as a prospect, but until he gets his batting average above .250 in the majors, I'm not completely sold on him.
  24. nclahammer
    Under no circumstances do I trade Kyle Gibson at this point. He's turned the corner and is now one of our best starters.
  25. nclahammer
    For me, one of the best postgame quotes came from Rays third baseman Daniel Robertson: "I wanna start off first and foremost by saying Escobar is a good dude, man. We talk all the time at third base. The guy likes Fogo de Chao, I like Fogo de Chao. So I wanna start off by saying that." -- Robertson, on the altercations with Escobar. Love it, if you don't believe me, you can look it up.
