    Don't know what AJ was like in the clubhouse, but I was bummed when he was traded. Always a tough competitor, I always looked forward to the Twins playing the Sox with him behind the plate. I think having a 19 year playing career and being 9th on the list of all-time games caught says a lot about how teams felt about him. Fun player to root for and watch play.

    Sano at 3B is fine. He probably won't win any gold gloves but he has good hands, a strong arm and athletic ability. I like his offense from the hot corner. As long as he stays in shape and keeps working on his defense, he should have a few more years at 3B. I'm just hoping Eddie has a defensive resurgence in the OF; we can't have him skating around out there like 2019. Maybe put Kepler in LF and Eddie in RF?

    2B Alexi Casilla honorable mention for obvious reasons.

    Interesting comparison, thanks.

    Diekman has 8 seasons of major league service and hasn't improved his walks% at all. In fact, for the 1st half of his career he's allowed 4.7 walks per 9 innings. The second half (2016-2019) he's allowed 5.3 walks per 9. And across these 2 time frames his K% has decreased slightly. Not my 1st choice for a bullpen addition.

    I know, right? Delmon made Manny Ramirez look good.

    You mean the A's Robbie Grossman, LF finalist for a possible 2019 Gold Glove? Either he was sand bagging while with the Twins, or they had a guy in a Robbie Grossman suit chasing flyballs out there. I wonder if Target Field is hard to play defense in . . .

    Lew Ford called. Said he's going Green and getting a new Roof.

    Makes you wonder how staffs ever had a 4-man rotation with starters possibly starting 35- 40 games, completing almost half of them and throwing 250-300 innings. Must have been the beer.

    For the sake of argument, Wheeler and Madbum are the same age, but Bumgartner has over 1,000 more innings on his arm. He pitched 200 innings in his 21 year-old season. It's not always the age, it's the mileage (thank you Indiana Jones, baseball savant). Quirky info: they were both signed as No. 1 picks of the Giants; Madbum in 2007, Wheeler in 2009. Heck, why choose. Sign both of them, and Pineda. Rotation = Bumgartner, Berrios, Odorizzi, Wheeler and Pineda. You could do a lot worse. It's not Verlander, Cole & Greinke or Scherzer, Strasburg & Corbin, but then again those 2 threesomes probably won't be together next year.

    Anybody think he looks like a young Bud Grant??

    Cal Ripken made himself into a good fielding shortstop by hard work; took so many practice grounders from his dad, practically wore pops out! He was also a master at positioning. For his size I think Sano is pretty athletic and does make some plays that are spectacular. Left to right range is probably limited though, so positioning becomes even more important for him. The best range is standing in the right place.

    Great season, bad post season. I picture all diehard Twins fans in Minnesota all walking around looking like the deer caught in the headlights this morning.

    A train wreck in NY. The Yankees shredded the Twins in the game. Harold Reynolds and the boys shredded the Twins in the postgame. I hope the Twins can figure out how to come back and win this series and shut the Yankee-loving talking heads big yaps.

    I grew up in New Mexico, way before Mitch, ha ha. Great place to play baseball. Ray Birmingham is the man. I picked Garver to be the All-Star catcher this year and he should have been. Nice season Mitch. Now to take it to the Yankees. Go Chargers. Go Lobos. Go Twins.
  16. AceWrigley
    You could say it was kind of like swapping Eduardo Escobar for Marwin Gonzalez who is the 2nd best comp for similar batters (career wise) to Eddie on BB Ref, plus some decent prospects. We'll have to wait and see how the young guys pan out.
  17. AceWrigley
    If I'm the Twins, I'm discussing this with the League Office. If Rocco can detect that Odo is warming up a little weird and pulls him for precautionary reasons, how is it the Giants staff didn't have any idea Dyson was pitching for weeks with discomfort? I'm not buying it. I want compensation.
  18. AceWrigley
    Can Graterol or Thorpe start or are they not stretched out enough at this point?
  19. AceWrigley
    Perez just got yanked after 2.1 innings (52 pitches) letting in 5 runs after the Twins took a 6-0 lead in the first.
  20. AceWrigley
    With the way Gibson and Perez are pitching, maybe starting both Dobnak and Smeltzer in their place is a good idea. We are giving up huge leads left and right lately; not a great strategy in trying to win baseball games.

    I stand corrected Sir. Bombas they are, and Bombas they will be. May it rain Twin's Bombas all over the faithful Target Field outfield patrons. I wonder, if it just clears the fence is it a Bombacita? And an inside the park job, is it a Bomba en la casa or does it not even acquire Bomba status?
  22. AceWrigley
    I have to admit that it sure would be sweet if we finished the season with 1 more homer than the Yankees.
  23. AceWrigley
    Gibson is FUBAR. Nice power display and some good defense. I don't see how they scored Sano's hit to CF that was not a difficult play, hit the CF'r squarely in the glove and drops it . . . for a double. What? It must have made a klank sound hitting the glove and they thought it was off the wall. Nice job by Thorpe for the win. Rogers lights out in the ninth, again. The Indians win tonite to finish off their games vs the Tigers, going 18-1. Sheez, thanks Gardy.

    It was a gopher ball.

    I thought in Minnesota everything hockey just short of Lou Nanne's career NHL highlight reel takes precedent over all.
