Rizzo looked at his stats for the last 2 months and it made his head swim. Seriously though, head injuries aren't to be taken lightly as we all well know around here in Twinsville.
True, but doesn't that also describe Willi Castro? And Castro hits lefties better and steals more bases than Gordon. I like Gordon as a bench player but I think I like Castro even more.
Its not over yet, the Twins have a few days to decide, which they'll probably wait until the last day to see if there are any injury or usage needs to bring him on to the MLB roster.
Wouldn't it be ironic if the Twins "win" the Central with a sub .500 record and then go on a tear in the playoffs and get to the World Series. I think all our heads would implode
Wallner could be a real masher. Cuddyer wasn't exactly graceful in RF but played it ok. Unless Wallner has a real problem tracking balls when fielding with not much hope of improvement, I wouldn't trade him.
Yeah, you might be right. When I saw the Guardians of Lake Erie sent Civale packing I thought the same thing. Their starting depth to draw from is a little lower in the minors. They did get Thor but he's pitching like a shell of his former self.
It would at least prevent us from making bad trades.
Here's a fun idea: if Duran gets injured, our bullpen is toast. Who closes then, Floro? Jax? Willi Castro? And it's not like we have great choices of hot performing minor league relievers. I'm not sure how we're going to deal with the trade deadline this year, but either way we are NOT in a position for success this year or in the direct future.
I agree. I was going to post about this too. He seems "happier" now for whatever reason and hopefully he can carry this forward and be one of the better RF's in baseball which I think he has the capability to be.
I wouldn't be surprised to see a blockbuster trade, even Soto from San Diego. If teams aren't selling it makes our players that much more valuable and we have future roster crunches ahead. "Hold on to your butts".
