    I wonder how much of his hitting decline is due to the deflated baseball in use this year?
  2. gman
    It does sound like last option. A failure with this to me means an end to a very promising career. Good luck to Alex and the doctors with this procedure.
  3. gman
    A completely healthy Buxton.

    The problem right now with sending Miranda down, who plays first? Arraez some times, but who would back him up? So I think Miranda has to stay and work through his batting issues. Correa and Larnach are soon off the IL, but neither plays first.

    With starters not making 6 innings anymore, I see a lot of piggyback situations developing here.

    Grey, Ober, Sano, Correa, and Kirilloff out with injuries. Also Maeda and Alcala. Arraez and Bundy tested positive for covid. Injuries and illness will catch up with them sooner tor later. If not the team will make an amazing run when everyone get back. For now 14th may be high.
  7. gman
    No. What 57 games in and you're worried?
  8. gman
    E.Rod. 19 years old. 14 games, 16 walks, 8 extra base hits. 5 Homers. Good start. Worth following. I hope it's real.

    As far as baseball times goes, there is usually about 5 weeks from the first spring training games to the start of the regular season. Right now we are about 5 weeks since the start of spring training this year. Add a couple of weeks to that for work outs prior to the first game of spring not counting guys who report early or are recovering from injuries, and players still haven't reached a normal time frame for the start of the regular season. Game timing whether pitching, hitting or defense is still off, although the starting pitching does look the best aspect of what we have seen so far, Hopefully the starters will look this good when the hitters start to show up. Although they count, I'd look at stats starting from May 1 forward.

    I hope not

    Remind me never to pick up on a Doc post again. I'm really tired of these "lets all be negative" posts.

    This team has a lot of sticks. Getting them all regular bats will be interesting. Hopefully the lineup will start the year hot and it won't matter who gets too DH on any given day.

    For however long Correa is here, this is a good deal. Following the long term signing of Buxton with the signing of the best(?) free agent shortstop in the game, maybe the reputation (at least by fans) as a place free agent don't want to come too will change.
  14. gman
    Good deal. I was hoping to get a shortstop from the Yankees in the Donaldson trade. It's about time we won one.?
  15. gman
    I never saw a 200-300 million dollar player coming here so I have no expectations for Story or Correa. Unloading Donaldson really did cost us Garver and Rortvedt. Shows you how much in demand he was. But it got us more playing time for Arraez and Miranda. I wouldn't be surprised to see Sanchez unloaded, there is no reason to eat his contract. I still see 2022 as a year long try out camp.

    I think the likely hood of any making it out of spring training goes up with injuries otherwise I think none. However, there are probably 6-8 who make it as the season goes on mostly pitchers and Martin.
  17. gman
    Definitely not a fan of the move.
  18. gman
    I expected a trade of Garver this winter, but I did think it would be for pitching. Trading for a decent fielding starting shortstop works out pretty good. Solid fielders behind a young pitching could make this staff look a lot better than it might otherwise.
  19. gman
    The first I've read of anyones take on the electronic strike zone in game action. Probably not going to be as much need or ability to train catchers to steal strikes. I can just hear the computer laughing now. Seems possible that Julien will be ready sometime in '23. That could make the next 2 years important for the future Twins lineup as well as pitching.
  20. gman
    Trading for 2 years of a super duper Ace #1 guy, makes no sense when the other 4 pieces of a typical rotation are mostly up in the air. Signing a Pineda type for up to 2/20 would help us get by. This year has to be about pitcher development whenever it starts. Maeda may be back sometime this year and hopefully leading the rotation in '23.
  21. gman
    I would be happy if among Ryan, Ober and a couple of not yet named minor leaguers we have a 4-some of a future rotation with an ERA of 4.50 for this year.
  22. gman
    This is written as if Martin has played 3-4 seasons in the minors. "Coaches are trying to get back his lost power. He's played over 12 months with a wrist injury." What is that? You can't reasonably expect to compare college stats to a Double A minor league season.
  23. gman
    The fans buy the tickets or watch the televised games. So ultimately the fans own the game. Obviously the fans also don't seem to have a lot to say in the matter. BUT, as a fan I have decided not to buy a season ticket this year. The only thing I truly can do to show my disapproval of the situation.
  24. gman
    That looks like a pretty rugged starting team. The middle infield would be weak defenders, Larnach starting in Minnesota instead of St Paul. The rotation period. I could easily see quite a bit of shuffling before the season got to old. But I don't see anything better either ready to start the season. They'll need a steady bus service from the minors.
  25. gman
    I agree with the statement that Robertson or Beckham on the Roster would be less than ideal. I also agree with Dman on the Palacios choice as I have made similar comments to other to other discussion topics. Palacios is rated as the best infield defender and best infield arm in the system, as well as showing power last season.
