    The Yankees had seen enough of Torres at shortstop, moved him to 2B and Urshela to SS to finish last season. Manager Aaron Boone even announced Urshela as the starting shortstop beginning spring training. If we keep him, I wouldn't be surprised if he's the starting shortstop opening day for the Twins. A team could do a lot worse than having Urshela at ss.

    Kohl Stewart as a reliever could be interesting.

    I think all Twins Yearbook photos should be in this format.

    Willians Astudillo signs a minor league deal with spring training invite with the Miami Marlins.

    My crazy hunch here is we're lining up pieces for a trade with the Marlins for one of their starters. I have a hard time picturing Sanchez and Urshela in a Twins uniform, especially Sanchez.

    My favorite Twin after Buxton. Crap. Looks like its Ryan Jeffers and Ben Rortvedt behind the plate. Kiner-Falefa can pick it, could win a gold glove at SS for the Twins this year. He's 26. A creative trade with pitching prospect to boot. I hate losing Garv-Sauce but this trade is dealing from strength to filling a need big time. Ronny Henriquez is a small (5-10, 160) righthander who held his own in AA ball at age 21.

    At least we got Juan Minaya back.
  8. AceWrigley
    Oh well, at least the Twins won't have to face him now.

    Hey, has anybody done any prospect ratings?
  10. AceWrigley
    OMG . . . finally!!!!!!

    I was flabbergasted how uncompetitive the Twins were; they didn't have a winning month until August, and that barely at 14-13.

    You might be right about Smeltzer having the delay benefit. Maybe he can become Jamie Moyer II.
  13. AceWrigley
    Ha, I already changed it! lol.
  14. AceWrigley
    Oh yeah ... oops.

    I'm not in favor of banning the shifts but if they do I hope they limit it to 2 infielders have to be on each side of the diamond with the limit allowing a defender to "straddle" the line between home and 2b.

    I think Palacios and Strotman have the most to gain from a good early showing.

    Also add Royce Lewis to the mix here. Considering the offensive black hole we had at short last year (though good defense), whoever wins the job doesn't have to be an offensive force if they can hold down the job defensively. My Ace-in-the-hole pick is Palacios, but ask me after a few weeks of spring training, if there is one. As for the Rule 5 draft, it seems redundant now for this season.

    I saw that too. If this is true and accurate, seems to me to be an an indicator that the MLB offer is a little painful to a few owners. Maybe the perfect deal is the point where 23 owners and 51% of the players agree to it (if 51% is the min).
  19. AceWrigley
    This. Where's Kenesaw Landis when you need him, lol.
  20. AceWrigley
    It's always people with power and money that take steps to ensure they remain the people with the power and money.
  21. AceWrigley
    Go Lobos.
  22. AceWrigley
    Wow. Johnny Goryl is now 88 years young. He exceeded his rookie limits during the 1958 season. Keep on truckin'.
  23. AceWrigley
    We "lovingly" called him Coconut Head. When he came up to bat, we'd yell, "Hey Coconut Head!". I can't really remember why. Powell got traded to Toronto and when I went to a few games there in 1982 at Exhibition Stadium (which I always thought meant an exhibition on how NOT to build a ballpark) I informed the few fans around me that his nickname was Coconut Head, which they thought was great inside knowledge and I instructed them on it's proper usage. So he came up to pinch hit and we all yelled, "Hey Coconut Head!" You could see him pause and slyly look around like oh crap, those dudes from Minnesota are here. I think he got a base hit. Good fun.

    That would be awesome for him, the Twins and especially Twin's fans.
