    Sorry, not buying a career turnaround at his age. I think his inability to put the ball in play is going to be frustrating all year and we’re going to see him pinch hit for regularly, or we’ll be complaining about leaving men on base all season.

    I also disagree. We had long games BECAUSE Jeter and Garciaparra started trying to out-primp and procrastinate each other during national TV games. I'm happy to be away from the dog show theatrics and back to actual game action. I don't want the post season games ruined so the movie-star wannabe filled teams the Twins always end up playing can audition for their post-playing career TV gigs while they're in the batters box.

    Agreed. I hope this Taylor for Buxton thing is over soon. I suspect it will pass about the time the weather warms, but who knows when that will be. But Taylor batting isn't the only problem. I'm glad Solano came through with a hit yesterday, but we already saw a continuation of last year's dreaded LOB trend. This team needs more authoritative bats, both in the bottom half of the lineup and at the very top. I mean, you're paying a guy 11M and pinch hit for him in the sixth inning of game one? I agree with the pinch hitting, but hard to justify the signing.

    Yup, Cedar Rapids, not Beloit. Guess I'm getting forgetful.

    I think Miranda will end up at 1B, not because of his inability to play 3B, but because I think it's more likely that Kirilloff will either remain unhealthy or won't develop as hoped. Not saying he will, I just think the odds that he ends up developing into a cornerstone player are lower than the odds of Julien, Lewis and Lee at the moment. And if Julien, Lewis and Lee force the issue, I don't think the Twins will be inclined to give Kirilloff a long leash. Fair or not, there's just other prospects that are just as talented if not more.

    That would be great, but the Twins have Buxton DHing during the early cold part of the year and Royce Lewis already said the Twins were sending him to Wichita instead of St Paul when he's ready, simply to play in the warmer weather. So I'd guess that the also recovering Rodriguez will stay in sunny Florida, while Beloit thaws out. The good news is that they don't seem to hold prospects in Beloit too long. Wichita on the other hand seems to have a longer layover for one reason or another.

    Wow, hell of a spring training stat line for Cave too. Is he holding that job until Bryce Harper comes back and the Phillies have to decide between Harper and Schwarber in LF? That's like not until June. He'll probably at least get the heavy end of a platoon as it looks like the Phillies only have 5 OF on their roster and Castellanos and Schwarber probably shouldn't be outfielders. Crazy to think Jake Cave, at the age of 30, might have a shot at a 'breakout' season, on a fairly loaded roster for the reigning world champs.

    Not on the MLB Roster for 1000 Alex.

    Why does Dylan Cease look like Brad Radke with a mustache, but throw like Randy Johnson without a mullet? That velocity and body don’t jive.
  10. nicksaviking
    Did we jinx you?

    After such a demoralizing loss, I have to think the Royals are reevaluating things. Probably time for a rebuild, and a good chance for the Twins to try to get Witt, Pasquantino and Melendez.
  12. nicksaviking
    Hot dang, we're in the Win column!
  13. nicksaviking
    Yeah, crazy. They go out and get a bunch of defense first players and this happens?
  14. nicksaviking
    Is Solano just Willians Austudillo after a week of Atkins?
  15. nicksaviking
    Spencer Steer with a HR for the Reds!
  16. nicksaviking
    That's most certainly what ESPN Gamecast thinks.
  17. nicksaviking
    Did Kepler really just hit a line drive?!?
  18. nicksaviking
    Ha, pinch hitting for Gordon in the 6th was fine by me. Pinch hitting for Joey Gallo, the 11M free agent in the 6th?!? Even better! I wonder how that's going to sit with him?
  19. nicksaviking
    It was the bottom half of the order, Rocco figured no one would notice.
  20. nicksaviking
    Trevor Larnach's mom probably.
  21. nicksaviking
    Huzzah! Did Larnach take Kepler's job yet?
  22. nicksaviking
    I can't watch, but I see Buxton ran all the way to third. IS HE OK?!?!?!?!?!?
  23. nicksaviking
    I thought they weren't allowed to shift to wherever Kepler decides to weakly the ball to?
  24. nicksaviking
    Congratulations to Zack Greinke in surpassing his 2022 strikeout totals already this season!
  25. nicksaviking
    I mean, the second option is obviously correct regardless of the first.
