    Donaldson to DH on 2-yr deal. Austin 1B Sano 3B
  2. DrNeau
    He has so much value as a catcher. We need to trade Castro. He is horrid. Please.
  3. DrNeau
    Well we sure can't afford to have another situation like 1st-rounder Hicks, where we let him develop in a Twins uniform for years and got low production, and then became super productive once traded to another team.

    What have you done for me lately, Byron Buxton? According to 2018, this is the bottom line: * 4 DL trips * Multiple migraines * Blurred vision * Broken toe * 134 games missed * 28 games played * 0 HR * 4 RBI * .156 BA * .383 OPS Things that should matter to a player: * Health * Productivity Other things like "super 2 manipulation" are just clutter. This guy needs to be healthy and learn how to hit. If he would (or could) do that, his stock would soar.

    According to the Twins' Depth Chart right now, they are not too high on him. Maybe sending a message to get his you-know-what together.
  6. DrNeau
    Buxton will be dominant if he figures out how to hit.

    For a 1B? Big bat. For most positions, a player’s strengths should be in 2 of the following 4 components: * OBP * XBH * Defense * Speed Positions up the middle require that the players’ strengths are speed and defense. To quantify “defense”, arm strength is a factor - in addition to solid glove. For a corner IF, speed is less necessary than say a SS or CF. A 1B can at times go a WEEK without making a necessary full-effort throw (therefore not a position which requires elite defense). 1B is absolutely a position where OBP and XBH (or OPS) are arguably the most important. Essentially, it is probably the best position to “hide a bat”. For the reasons listed above, Grossman (OBP only) is not good for an OF. Joe Mauer’s best skills since 2014 (back in the days when he was a player), were defense (arm & glove) + OBP. Mauer was therefore poorly utilized when placed at 1B.

    We are already eating the $8 million to Castro. Might as well get the best possible production. Astudillo is better. No question.

Castro needs to be gone. Pick up Donaldson and a 2B and we become immediately way better. Forget adding a starter. Rebuild the bullpen with strong talent.

    Twins should not dump him for this, but they should make a “final chance” notice to him and media. That way they don’t have to suspend him. Tell him to whip himself into shape - or else. Somehow they need to get production out of this great talent. Very frustrating.
  12. DrNeau
    Josh Donaldson would be amazing!
  13. DrNeau
    Who was recklessly running into walls and had complete disregard for their health and 2018 season?
  14. DrNeau
    Where’d you read this, that he was allowed to leave? If that’s accuracy, then thanks for the info. I hadn’t read that anywhere.
  15. DrNeau
    Buxton should be riding on the AAA buses for the rest of the year, but he gets a hall pass because he needs to be treated differently that’s the others.
  16. DrNeau
    No HOF for Mauer... just like Don Mattingly, Mark Grace, and Wally Joyner.
  17. DrNeau
    Wally Joyner - 2,060 hits Don Mattingly - 2,153 hits Mark Grace - 2,443 hits
  18. DrNeau
    Funny also that Twins Daily supports claims without evidence.
  19. DrNeau
    You mean "knew about her claims", not "knew about it". In our legal system, there is no 'it' until 'it' is corroborated by a witness or evidence. No such witnesses or evidence ever were brought forth to support her claims.
  20. DrNeau
    Glad to hear we are not living in a Nazi state. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. I understand the Twins Message Board has now been removed. Wow. That was one of the few websites that did not censor posters' posts based on the content alone.
  21. DrNeau
    He said he felt "great" in 2014 and 2015 spring trainings, then in Feb '16 he suddenly stated (to the media - not the team) that he had been experiencing "blurred vision" for approximately 2.5 years, despite being fully-cleared by doctors, post-concussion. It was a complete shock to the organization. Joe's own comments on his health are not even consistent. Oh but you are able to conclude that he is better. You must be quite talented!
  22. DrNeau
    Same reason that MN reporters don't ask him tough questions in relation to production. They only ask, "How are you feeling, Joe?" When it applies to Joe Mauer, there is another variable that everyone must consider... his FEELINGS.
  23. DrNeau
    Hitting the gym hard, I'm sure.
  24. DrNeau
    Aybar is horrible. Will not beat out Adrianza.
  25. DrNeau
    No HOF for Mauer or Santana.
