    Can Gordon legitimately be considered a SS candidate? In his 231 career major league games, he's only appeared at SS for 31 of them. Even in the minors he really hasn't played full time SS since 2018

    A decent 7th/8th inning option that knocks Pagan down a notch is good in my book

    I mean, on one hand Luis Arraez is a limited defensively, questionable knee's, and nil power in a position you need it (assuming he primarily plays 1B and DH). You also acquire a #2-3 rotation player, a top 100 prospect, and a lottery ticket while only giving up the aforementioned Arraez. On the other hand Arraez is a fan favorite and LUIS ARRAEZ. I think in the long run this is a great trade for the Twins, but its gonna hurt for a bit.

    Maybe the Giants and Mets deals couldn't be insured (due to concerns about his ankle's longevity) whereas the 6 year deal with the Twins could be?

    New one looks out of focus. Give me the cleaner, current one or switch to the M

    Your both wrong. It was actually Judge Reinhold. MVP of Beverly Hills Cop.

    Mariners and Mets lets go.
  14. Puckett34
    Mahle, Givens, and Robertson today please. Flexible on Mahle
  15. Puckett34
    Correa, Sanchez, Miranda, Polanco for hitters Ryan, Duran, Duffy, Traded for relievers for pitchers

    I'd say that 1-2 decent to good RP is most likely (and most needed). In on, but ultimately lose out on Castillo and Montas. Maybe a bat/catcher, but I doubt it. Whatever happens the front office is likely to say that "Maeda and Alcala are right around the corner and will be like trading for 1-2 decent to good RP that we already have". Or something like that.
  17. Puckett34
    Mahle and Merrill wouldn't likely cost as much. Having said that, I think it's the bullpen that needs retooling more than anything
  18. Puckett34
    Ok. So that didn't end the way it should. However, lets focus on some positives here. Outside of some very glaring issues pitching(wise) in the bullpen especially, the Twins lineup did prove at least to me that they are able to be competitive with some very good to elite pitching. The lineup in the past week was able to make Gausman, Tallion (to an extent),Cortez, and Cole look absolutely mediocre at best to absolutely dreadful. I hate putting on rose colored glasses, but if some things go the other way in both Yankee losses, Twins are looking at a sweep. Having said that, I wish there was a little more killer instinct in the Twins. Hopefully the Yankee series will show the front office that there are some issues in the pitching department and they can add some pieces to be competitive come September/October. Go Twins

    Hell'uva problem to have ?

    Very true. I myself was hopeful too. But 2020 was a long time ago. Fact of the matter is he's slashed .190/.267/.365 in 124 games between 2021 and 2022. He is who he is. That is a slightly better than league average catcher unless he starts hitting more. Honestly, I think Twins fans were spoiled with Mauer from 2004-2013, Suzuki in 2014 was an All-Star and was decent in 2015-2016, Castro was ok to slightly below average in 2017-2018 and 2019-2021 had Garver. Heck even before Mauer, Pierzynski was pretty good 2001-2003. That's over 20 years of above average to elite catcher for the most part.

    I mean, he (Jeffers) wasn't exactly lighting the world on fire last year either.
  22. Puckett34
    Well that was a disappointment.
  23. Puckett34
    thats a bummer, but I'm not surprised.
  24. Puckett34
    I find myself more of a Rocco supporter than deterrer(?). Having said all that, I think managers in general get far too much of the blame or credit for a teams success or failure.

    Win some, lose some. I once read or heard somewhere that in nearly every MLB season with every team, you'll win 50 games and you'll lose 50 games, it's what you do with the other 62 that matters. Hopefully this one was one of the 50 losses. New day today! Hope Bundy can get right quick or else he'll start looking like this:
