    Minaya up. Stashak optioned. Per MLBTR.
  2. Cornholio
    If he makes the team, he provides versatility that Blankenhorn, Gordon, Riddle or Lin don’t. He can play ss, 3b, or cf. After the super-two cutoff date, Lewis should come up to fill that role, and Romine will be expendable ( or perhaps Cave is expendable at that point).
  3. Cornholio
    He reminds me of Bob Allison. Even looks like him, both in and out of the batters box. Their swings are a couple of generations apart, though. Hopefully Rooker can achieve similar results.
  4. Cornholio
    I thought I had heard that his change-up was much improved as well. 99, plus change, good curve, high floor. Got to love the potential here. He could leap-frog the pitchers ahead of him this year.
  5. Cornholio
    Cruz and Colome aren’t officially announced yet.
  6. Cornholio
    Good list. I would assume Kirilloff starts in the minors until the super two cutoff. One of Blankenhorn, Gordon or Lin will probably be the second utility. I’m expecting Arraez in LF with Rooker sharing it until AK comes up. Thorpe is out of options, so he might stick. Probably between him and Thielbar for the 2nd lefty role. After the super two cutoff, I would expect both Lewis and Kirilloff up, with Cave/ Rooker and the second utility spots vulnerable.

    Looks like Cincinnati is having a fire sale. Luis Castillo is rumored to be available, as well as Sonny Gray. The cost in prospects would be huge, but Castillo has three years of control remaining. Either one would be a good get, but Castillo is an ace. The opportunities to get guys like this don’t come around that often.
  8. Cornholio
    Actually...

    Lebron is from Cleveland. They could be the ‘Bronnies’. Or maybe the Lakers. Or just maybe the ‘Edmund Fitzgerald’s’ finally make it to Cleveland. They could be the Cleveland Dockers. Or maybe Steamers. So many options.
  10. Cornholio
    I believe Joe is deserving of induction (as are, IMO, Oliva and Kaat). But guys like Dimaggio, Killebrew and others didn’t get in first ballot. Joe DiMaggio had to wait, Joe Mauer should as well. First ballot induction should be rare, reserved for the Aaron, Mays, Mantle,Griffey,jr, and Maddox types.
  11. Cornholio
    Obviously none of us think quite like Bauer does, but I would expect him to look for a multi-year deal with lots of player options. Basically he is in a position to have his cake, and eat it, too.

    I would like to think so also, but Buxton had his service time manipulated in 2018.
  14. Cornholio
    Fun topic. I would add Joe Mays, Jim Hughes and Bill Zepp for consideration.
  15. Cornholio
    Nicely done. I agree completely. He was snubbed.
  16. Cornholio
    I would add Bob Allison to the list to consider. OPS- .827, OPS+127. Plus, a long run with the Twins.
  17. Cornholio
    How about Kirilloff for Mitch Keller, from Cedar Rapids? Don’t see prospect for prospect deals much, but I would really rather have the high ceiling of Keller. I don’t think Archer or Musgrove have “ace” ceilings. Of course there’s more risk with Keller perhaps, but he’s already debuted, and to hell with the Yankees.
  18. Cornholio
    Only if they include Castillo
  19. Cornholio
    Romero went on the IL with back problems last year. Struggled with them all year,IIRC. Historically in the minors he’s walked about 3 batters per nine. Not great, yet not ridiculously bad either. I am hoping he has another option year, he could still be good.
  20. Cornholio
    It’s just my opinion, but I feel that Wheeler will be a bust. I’m no GM. Cincinnati has pitching, and glaring holes at middle infield and catcher. Padres have holes in the outfield. Miami has young pitching. Blockbuster trades do happen. If the Twins sign Wheeler, I certainly hope he’s successful.
  21. Cornholio
    My apologies. Perhaps I should have said “ If Wheeler lives up to a 5/100 deal, I will have egg on my face.” Again, no snark intended.
  22. Cornholio
    Absolutely. I don’t think Wheeler will provide much more production than Pineda. Big Mike would be much cheaper. Just my opinion. I’m no GM.
  23. Cornholio
    If the Twins sign Wheeler, I will still be a fan. It just means that one of us will be able to say “I told you so.” No snark intended
  24. Cornholio
    I’m just going by the speculated 5/100. If the cost is 6/140, no effing way.
  25. Cornholio
    I’ll admit I don’t follow the Mets real close, but generally teams with 3 Aces don’t miss the playoffs. If you pay Wheeler 20 mil per, how much do you pay Berrios when his time comes? Plus, Wheeler has missed@ 3 of the last five years due to injury. The Twins have a lot of players approaching a big payday. I don’t trust that Wheeler will be healthy, and payroll will become a concern, especially if Wheeler misses more time.
