    JR Murphy is just one 4.8 WAR season away from a 5 WAR career so, I mean like, don't give up the dream. Stranger things have happened, probably.

    In 1990 I was 13 and Kirby Puckett ranked as a god in my book. We went to a game vs. the Red Sox (Roger Clemens was pitching) at the Dome for my upcoming birthday. This was always a big deal since we lived 200 miles from Minneapolis so we always showed up as early as possible and I'd try to get autographs (unsuccessfully, almost always). Before the game as players were warming up I yelled at everyone trying for an autograph with no luck. Finally, Johnny Moses came over and signed my ticket. Sweet! Then, right as I'm giving up, Kirby comes by and signs my ticket. YES!!!! So while it's my favorite piece of memorabilia, it has Johnny Moses autograph on it, making Kirby's that much harder to make out. Still have it framed here on my desk though.

    Yeah that's the deal I signed out of little league and I'm still kicking myself more than 25 years later. Bet I could hit a baseball over that mountain.

    A HR every 4 AB's is quite a few.

    I just skimmed this but did I hear Jay Bruce is our new 2B? I'm beyond excited about that.

    Ahhh I love Spring Training! I heard Mitch Garver tied his shoes withOUT making the bunny run around the tree. How will this impact his ability to react to offspeed pitches?

    He cheated on and divorced his wife while she was recovering from a double mastectomy due to breast cancer. Besides that he's just a crusty old man yelling at a cloud accusing it of doing PEDs. No thank you.

    Grade 80 name, that somehow makes me more confident in his future than if his name were Bob Brown. I love our farm system right now. We may not have a Buxton down there at the moment but our depth is going to be really interesting to see evolve this season. Seems there are several guys who could make a leap into top 50 prospect territory.

    Looking back on MLB drafts and daydreaming what could've been, I love it. I could read stories like this forever. Great read!

    I agree, though if we let Gibson go I predict he signs with St. Louis and becomes an ace. And I'm already annoyed by that.

    You wouldn't look forward to the Twins in the World Series? Cody Bellinger had an OPS of .565 and struckout over 60% of his World Series ABs Mark Lemke had an OPS of 1.170 in his first World Series Neither of those stat lines tell us anything about those players other than how they did in a microscopic sample size.
  12. Drew
    His career k/9 (9.1) would rank #2 in Twins history. Even if he never pitches like we hope he can I like the thinking behind this move and the direction Falvine seems to be taking our pitching staff.
  13. Drew
    Good lord. They aren't even from the same country, much less played in the same league....or the same position. They are as comparable as Jeff Reboulet and Chili Davis.
  14. Drew
    I wish there were targets I were interested in, the current structure of this team would fit a huge SP signing. But I'm not much of a fan outside of any of the FA SP's other than Darvish (why not?). Just more Ricky Nolasco's.
  15. Drew
    I'm convinced I don't care at all about the Gold Glove. But I would've been very upset if Buxton hadn't won it. So I guess I care. But starting next year I will no longer care. Unless Buxton doesn't win it.
  16. Drew
    If the Twins are using that small a sample size to make decisions then nothing has changed.

    I've never heard of Brant Alyea until today, he had a pretty solid 1970 though. .299/.366/.531 with 16 HR in 94 games. I have been looking for a sneaky throwback jersey....
  18. Drew
    So...is Molitor still mad about the George Brett pine tar HR reversal? Or did he pick names out of a hat for a different reason? Either way, baseball! Real, live, actual baseball.
  19. Drew
    I'll go with .255/.310/.480 20 HR, 45 SB and a Gold Glove. My main concern is that I drafted him in my fantasy baseball league, so if it all goes to hell I am very sorry to everyone.
  20. Drew
    "interact and joke with Hispanic speaking fans" Oh no, not the Hispanic speaking fans! It's Spring Training, be (a little) concerned about his weight, his at bats or his defense. But a guy having fun during ST or talking to fans, even the Hispanic speaking ones, or using his phone in the clubhouse seems the kind of thing that doesn't matter in any way at all.
  21. Drew
    0-1 in SB tells you next to nothing about his speed. And judging a players defense on fielding percentage is like judging the taste of a steak by me telling you over the phone that it’s brown. Torii Hunter had a .895 fielding pct in his first year in the minors and he did alright.

    When I was a kid I had a 'Tommy' corner in my room where I had Tom Lawless and Tommy Herr cards stuck to the wall. I'd drawn faces on them with marker and had deemed them my least favorite MLB players after the '87 World Series. Then we traded Tom Brunansky, one of OUR guys, for one of the guys in my Tommy corner? Tommy Herr has been my least favorite baseball player for 28 years running.

    Oh that's not a thing anyone believes right? But I agree with Russo and Berardino, miles better than the competition.
  24. Drew
    I'm very happily surprised by the timing, as Brock said this is a statement move and this team needs to scream about something. Hopefully this is the first in a series of bold moves.
  25. Drew
    David Clyde just felt a great disturbance in the force. I don't mean to be rude but this one time when we were kids my little sister mixed roast beef and cheese with her blueberry yogurt. Until today that was the worst idea I'd come across.
