    That line up is not going to get it done more often than not..... We really need to get healthy....and fast!
  2. D.C Twins
    Yes... but the real question is whether he is more of a liability than the current alternatives....
  3. D.C Twins
    I have 3 additional points to support keeping Gordon as our super utility.... 1. His salary 2. His salary. 3. Oh there was one other thing...what was it again.... oh yeah... his negligible salary!
  4. D.C Twins
    Ugh.... severe bone bruises can take longer than a few weeks to heal... let's hope that this one is on the more mild end of the spectrum.
  5. D.C Twins
    David "Fiesta"
  6. D.C Twins
    Easy.... Lewis never should have gone down in the first place... so yeah.... whatever excuse to FO needs to fix that mistake works for me!
  7. D.C Twins
    I'm only worried that Buxton's Knee and/or hip aren't right. If so, it stinks, but give him some time to recover on IL. When healthy Buxton will be electric again (same as it ever was... same as it ever.....was)
  8. D.C Twins
    Great article Nash!
  9. D.C Twins
    The central division is B-A-D... BAD! But step one to being a championship team is consistently beating the teams you should and we are checking that box! Still have a long ways to go, but I like the trajectory
  10. D.C Twins
    Agree that I used a whiff of hyperbole But, we'll agree to disagree on the logic of sending him down. They are overthinking this. He is an emerging star with a #1 overall pick pedigree who was at very least one of the top 4 positional players in the line up went sent down (and arguably higher) I have full confidence that he could provide above average defense at 3B or LF (on the days that he is not covering for SS, CF which could be 2-3 days/week given Buxton) immediately at the MLB level. People with FAAAAAR less athletic talent have adjusted on the fly in the MLB.
  11. D.C Twins
    What an organizational embarrassment to see Lewis playing in AAA. Intellectual and strategic malpractice. He was playing SS too.... So, do they plan on playing him in AAA the rest of the year if Correa stays healthy? What if Correa doesn't opt out at the end of the year? Keep rockin' AAA SS next year too? A Correa trade to open up a MLB SS spot would lessen the quality of a team that has a chance to win the division this year and therefore counterintuitive. I've been generally appreciative of the FO over their tenure (not every decision is going to work), but this is self-inflicted wound plain and simple
  12. D.C Twins
    Based on performances in the minors this season, we are well positioned to make impactful trades for pitching at the deadline if we are still in contention. This would also decompress a pending 40-man crunch
  13. D.C Twins
    I was going to write a nuanced and thoughtful explanation for why this was a poor decision but opted against wasting my time because it is so obviously Bat #@$% crazy. The Twins are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay overthinking this. When a #1 overall draft pick shows he belongs in the MLB, you keep him there and figure it out (with regular playing time).... period. Would love to hear an example of a previous #1 overall doing this well in the MLB and being demoted. (and this is coming from someone who was skeptical about his performance this year because of his previous K:BB ratios and time off....)
  14. D.C Twins
    So Lewis has no intention of returning to the minors..... time to start figuring out the plan for him an Correra..... 3B/LF combo?
  15. D.C Twins
    If Mirada sticks in MLB, time for Steer to AAA and CES to AA
  16. D.C Twins
    If Buck stays relatively healthy, they are a 'real' contender for the playoffs. Not a contender for being a 'real' threat in the playoffs this year IMO, but give this core 1-2 years of experience on top of talent.....absolutely a WS contender too...if Buck stays healthy (which should be added to the end of any prognostic declaration about the Twins
  17. D.C Twins
    Great win! But, for all of you that like to talk about Sano's average exit velocity..... just make sure you are factoring in the 0 mph for each of his Ks! That will help you understand why your advanced metrics fail the logic test
  18. D.C Twins
    Buck is Breaking Baseballs. Just Say No to Sano... It's been more than loooong enough. I'll happily root for him to 'find it' elsewhere. Good teams cannot just wait months for a player to have a few torrid weeks. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. The Twins have been meeting that definition with Sano for a few years now. (and yes, they will still be meeting that definition when he inevitably has his hot 3 weeks during the mid to end of June)
  19. D.C Twins
    I don't know what the Twins record will be at the end of the season, but I do know that there is nobody else in the MLB that I would rather have right now than Buck (yes, including even Trout). Buxton at peak powers over the next few years will be something to behold (please to not run into anymore walls hard to save one out unless it is in the playoffs....we need you too much!)
  20. D.C Twins
    I was regularly hard on Lewis for his batting problems in A and felt that many were too overoptimistic about his potential. He is proving me wrong and I'm lovin' it! (Now Sano can feel free to prove me wrong that it is time for him to play elsewhere! :)
  21. D.C Twins
    Buck is Back! As goes Buck, so will go the Twins. I am ready to let Sano have a fresh start elsewhere and now. He is an albatross that could sink team morale and momentum. If he catches fire somewhere else, good for him! I wish him well. It's been enough here... more than enough.
  22. D.C Twins
    Yikes! "Neither is a total longshot. Either of these guys could turn into assets." This description of 40% of a starting rotation is usually not compatible with a playoff appearance. I say 'usually' because, well, I am old enough to remember our 3rd pitcher in 1987.... a one Les Straker Though, unfortunately I we don't have a Frank V or Burt B equivalent in our rotation this year either.
  23. D.C Twins
    Buck will be league MVP this year (if healthy). He is absolutely ready to tear sh*t up!
  24. D.C Twins
    Hopefully the FO REALLY knows something we don't yet know about the readiness of our young pitchers. We have exactly one starter with established long term MLB success that is not a wild card based on recent injuries. That is a HUGE risk. A few injuries (Bundy, Archer) and/or regression due to the league catching up (Ober, Ryan)..... things could go very south, very quickly. Even if the prospects in AAA ultimately have a wonderful career, most will likely struggle during their MLB debuts and not suck up enough innings even if successful. I wish we had not left so much up to luck on the pitching side with our line up being so impressive. Buck, Correa, and Palanco will make this a fun team to watch though even if the pitching implodes.
  25. D.C Twins
    Unfortunately, Cave has the inside track to go North initially. The Twins paid him 800,000 which isn't much, but more than any of the other marginal players They will give him the first month to prove something. I don't like this one bit, but I'm just warning everyone for expectation management I actually would be OK with giving Garlick a 'show me' month (while holding my nose and wincing mildly) because he can provide roster balance with hitting lefties Rooker needs to me in the minors learning how to K much less
