Sanos value to me is questionable. I do wonder if Escobar has me spoiled. ! I dont know that Sano should be playing anyway, and 2- How long will we ever have him? Anyway Id like your input if you would trade Sano for a catcher or just what you think we should do with him
Bill would make a move...trading for Delmon was good on paper, that is until Bartlett was included...but I digress... Yeah..i know he traded Hardy who was hurt all year and hit 220 when he could play..Nshiokia was a Japanaese MVP...how could we have known? But what I liked about ole Bill..he would make a deal...Terry Ryan is like watching paint dry..if he dont screw ya..mean you havent traded with him... Here we are again...please..paint..crack somewhere!
Do I understand this correctly? Eddie Rosario a top prospect for the MN Twins, smoked pot KNOWING..he could be tested for illegal substances? I wont engage in the merits or dangers of smoking MJ. However if you have the world in front of you and YOU HAVE TO SMOKE WEED...isn't is just a matter of time before your character catches up with you? I have to believe it is.... I think this shows long term weakness and once he comes back if he puts up great numbers..I urge the Twins to trade him,
Scott Diamond beats the Red Wings tonight and was very good. If he resurfaces, and succeeds with his new team, Anderson must be fired this will solidify his critics and he should be fired with or without Gardys approval or if it causes losing Gardy too.then so be it..
Whats with all the Molitor Criticism? He should be blamed for Sano beng a child? Buxton Injuries? Morrison ineptness? Have you noticed Molitor cant bat? Wow...this guy the only coach in HISTORY to take a team from worst to the playoff, is the problem? Did Molitor make Polanco PED? Did Molitor make Dozier look like Father Time? Cmon...get a grip!
We did love you Joe...and now we can see why the Twins insisted on you catching. Frankly a non-power hitting first baseman at .270 just doesnt rock our world. And now once the hottest commodity in baseball. we couldnt trade you if we wanted to. So do we just keep you on th the bench and eat one of the richest contracts in baseball? uh..yeah...We dont have a choice, now do we?
on Eduardo Escobar, the best and most important Twin in the last several years. As a latin player he can probably be effective to his late 30 s , His dugout presence is worth a majority of the money, I heard a player say, that when he was traded from the White Sox, it was the first time he had seen MLB players cry. Thats how I felt too...but on the flip side, if you can get 3 respectable prospects AND resign him, what a coup that would be huh? Anyway Falvine, overspend on him bring him home a
For those of you waiting with great anticipation about where the best beer in the Cities is or what the social behavior of Bonnes and Gleeman is going to be, look no further just download the GATG episodes. For me, I am sick of them, I have no desire to listen to two drunks give their opinions on night life in twin cities or their drinking habits they are so proud of. Please Twins fans recommend other podcasts that are really filled with Twins content, I wont be going back to the circus named,
Im finally going to say it.....Twins Daily Coverage of Spring Training Sucks! The story on Max Kepler today illustrates my point exactly. Ok Kepler optioned....why? How did he hit? Did he play good defense? For those of us who follow the Twins, Kepler had to be one of the most intriguing stories. We barely heard a word. Same is true of our new catcher, yes lately there was some info, but are you like me, and want to look at and examine his stats, maybe even a running total? For the se
Looks like the Yankees got us again. Unless the AA guy has something to offer. If Enns can be sucessful in the Majors then I am coming out of Retirement! We have at least 5 pitchers in the minors that are better than him right now.
Danny Santana is the Twins best player. Twins will make room for him wherever..problem....Twins have a terrific shortstop....(who can not play cf) The best chance for the Twins to win...is to play both Santana and Escobar...and there aren't many options. Trade Dozier? Now thats a possibility...but Dozier had a very good year...but so did Escobar and Santana. Play Escobar at 3b? Plouffe actually had a good year...(lead the league in Doubles) So Shafer has earned a chance not a 4th outf
With his second straight sterling performance yesterday, Samuel, proved he is a valuable resource. Interestingly, Deduno before Slama....hmmm With all the criticism of Deduno, do you really want him to fail? I am delighted that Twins have found a way to use him and this might be his optimum role. His stuff is just so good, remember this, when he is on, he can beat anybody, We need a few more of those, do we not?
#1 DFA the Putrid Bat of Robbie Grossman, while his former ability to get on base was a powerful aphrodisiac, his now lack of ability to hit or walk, has made him an unbearable burden...goodbye and good riddance Robbie #2 -Opportunity lost, the player I have been the most interested in is Mitch Garver, cmon Mitch, hit a little and become the full time catcher, so what does he do? stink it up! Castro couldnt hit a barn and one game after watching the two hitters before him walk on pitches th
After watching Sano just drop a pop up that any little leaguer would have caught, it is time for me to comment. TRUTH Sano is a better outfielder than a 3b, you clamored for a trade of Plouffe, then for Sano to move to 3b, what now brown cow? IF Sano is ever to play the field, the only position for him is currently occupied....by a horrible contract... So yes maybe Sano can play the field...but it would have to be at 1b Dont run from this, I was the only one saying Sano wont be any bet
1. Starting pitching MUCH better...(keep Correa) Our starting pitching has been much better, we have an ace now..Gibson is pretty much online..but do expect more short outings..but also long outings..he is getting better...Twins will move Nolasco..to pen..drop Swarzak and bring up May. Pino will be decent for remainder of year, Our Starting rotation will be Ok the rest of the way. 2. Collabello - has matured from his exit, look for him to perform above average the rest of the year. Ma
Ok, I really think he is tied with Berrios.....I cant understand the constant banging of Gibson. Yes he has pitched some terrible gamea but he also has pitched some gems, and has been competitive in other games. Yes he fails about 25% of the time....but do you have a better option? Not only is he the best option the Twins have as middle rotation pitcher.....but he should come back next year as well, Souhan is wrong. On this subject do you realize how many clunkers Berrios has thrown? Wh
About the only reason to watch the Twins now is to watch young talent, So why is Pinto riding the bench? Is there a catch doctor in the house? Can he be so bad that he cant even be the backup catcher? What did he do to get into the doghouse? Every time i see Suzuki penciled in, I am a lot less interested...are the pitchers requesting Suz? Help me figure this out...please!!!
Angels just lost their Ace, What would they give up for Hughes? I m guessing you could get a Starter, and two prospects...If you are blown away..you have to take it...I know, I know..Hughes and Contract etc..but We could replace Hughes or close to it..AND add...two quality prospects how do you not take that? Same with Dozier...we are looking pretty good in the infield at the moment...escobar to 2nd...If you got two top prospects for Dozier, would you move him? I would While thinking about
The issue is NOT who can get the most out of the Twins younger players... Its not really about style...either..... I find it interesting that there is emphasis on both Sano abd Buxton basically endorsing Molitor...which may not be the case at all. They might be just saying, and I think they are..that Molitor is knowledgeable and helped them. We can debate all day long the merits of either to manage the twins..but this is going to come down to one thing... Who will put the fans in the
If the Twins send Hicks to Rochester this will send a very poor message to their fans. Mainly, Team politics are more important than winning. The base is excitied about Hicks. After today, its hard to imagine the Twins without him. Keeping him on the big team would send very positive messages about the organization and their will to win, not always salvage the dollar. It would also be a big signal to their young players, prove you are good enough and we wont worry about the money
I did something I rarely do. I shut the game off. I watch on my computer so I have to take whatever feed I get. I was watching the Yankees broadcast, their play by play guy reported the following. Mauer moved to first base because of knee problems, (said it twice) Sorry Yank fans, you show respect for one of the greatest players of our time, a three time batting champion, that was disgraceful! Then said about three times this was Perkins first blown save of the season...but thats not what
Obviously you want Joe in the lineup wherever you can get him. The problem is he is playing the one position we can reserve for far less talented players. Colabello should come North, but where do you play him? Yes he can DH, but why wouldnt you put Mauer in the outfield or 3b, talk about competition for Plouffe...Another issue now with Sanos arm, can he play 3b? He might have to play first...yes I keep Joe in line up no matter what, but we are wasting him at 1b
What a brilliantly managed game! Irvin solid, Hildenberger ok, but gives up tying home run. I was surprised Molly went to Buse at that juncture, but Al was up to it and pitched very well. Then Molly brings in Belisle and he pitches well, leaves him for another innning..and voila Rosario! So criticize all you want but our manager had close to a perfect game this night!
C Check 1b Check 2b Check SS Check 3rd base - Can improve CF -Check Thats it guys, we need two outfielders, Could use a better 3rd baseman Backup Catcher - Pinto Would Improve us but will Twins do it>? Pitchers - Hughes, Gibson, >>??? This all adds up to another losing season The only position that we cant improve on is 2b...wow
I really hold back what I would like to say about then payroll arguments here. The fact that people don't accept the amount taken in dictates the amount going out requires one of two things. Extreme financial ignorance or fanatical bias that prevents the acceptance of something some basic. I did not change the argument. It's the same idiocy over and over. Do you really want to be on the side that suggests revenues does not determine spending capacity?
At this point in the pre-season, I’m just so happy to be seeing games again, I don’t care about the Twins record in 2023. I think they’ll win it all, unrealistically speaking 🙂
