    Hopefully our current young group of players can progress and mesh into something close to the 1987 team. While I'm not optomistic about the outcome of this season, I am excited to SEE THE KIDS PLAY! May Mr. Kelly hit fungos in spring training for years to come!!!

    It would (will) be very interesting to see Dozier play a full season in a more fitting line up position with consistent protection behind him (and not pressing to do it all himself)...it could make a significant difference...

    ?? Option #4 ?? (though obviously also not ideal)....Escobar at short with Planco getting reps at multiple positions throughout the week (2B, 3B, SS, OF)....averaging 4-ish games a week until Dozier situation gets worked out? I guess my honest question is how bad is Escobar's defense vs. Planco's?

    Every time I see the name "Phil Hughes", I think "wildly unnecessary contact extension." Go New FO! Let's hope for his sake and his livelihood that he recovers. But, I honestly don't think that him returning to #3 starter quality (versus washing out) is going to move the needle that much for the twins season (it would be great if he played well enough to trade him...but alas...the limits of said contract). In fact, we'll probably be better off in the long run moving toward youth ASAP.

    He was an exceptional talent and hometown story. We will be happy and thankful for him for years to come as he contributes off the field to the team and community. He earned every cent given from the Twins via his play and marketing over his entire career. BUT...It is my hope that they platoon him and/or give him multiple days off a week as mentioned previously. Place him in situations to succeed as much as possible. This will benefit the player, team, and fans. Joe...the first step is admitting there is a problem...

    When the "good" is "sharing co-American League Player of the week honors" .... that's pretty much all that needs to be said.

    Agreed....New data and circumstance would change the construct (and/or desire depending on the level of back room rancor) for any future LA deal. Let's hope for a few other GMs sitting on increasingly warmer seats in the same division/league to come sniffing mid-season.

    We are rightfully concerned that Dozier my lose value during the season. But, I think we stand to gain A LOT more information about JDL than they stand to learn about Dozier during the first half of the season...which could alleviate some concerns about a trade-center piece with a potential "pre-existing condition." Also, the risk of waiting is worth the benefit that an actual competitive market may manifest sometime over the next year to drive up demand. And we have more time than they do. Even with young player progression, this team is not going to threaten anyone in 2017. (not going anywhere for a while.....)
