    Let’s get beyond Correa. He had three chances to resign with the Twins for more money per year, and he failed. Let him take his trash can elsewhere

    I never want to hear or see Carlos Correa again

    It’s a fair question, yet I’m an optimist. Sano has had to mature as a person. My impression is that he has done that. Nothing improves your performance like failing and get back at it again. Sano had a poor 2018 season accompanied by injuries. There is no one who has displayed more exuberance since rejoining the team than Sano. He is carrying an incredibly good attitude. If Miggy can carry a .250 batting average, continue to perform well at 3B, and hit his share of big flies, I’ll be pleased.

    Twins now have some history will pop-up players. Larnich flashed his last year in college.

    Like the pick. He’ll need to fix that loopy delivery. Base runners will have field day

    The player at AAA that’s advancing is Luke Raley (OF/1B) with a .275 average including 5 home runs. He’s been on a tear lately. The talent pipeline is starting to blossom at AA and AAA levels. While I like the potential Rocker provides, don’t sleep on Raley. Another return from the Dodgers for Dozier trade is Devin Smeltzer. He just advanced to AAA after carrying a .060 ERA at AA Pensacola

    Sano really hasn’t had a spring training this season, so I suspect we are weeks away from his return. Perhaps months away given his early form at Pensacola. Sano had a three-run homer over the weekend but has been quiet otherwise. He was 0-5 today with 2 strikeouts. His BA is .091 Still early, he could surprise us but early returns show he needs to improve his timing and approach at the plate yet. Then, once he starts clicking, he will need to catch up at AAA. I’m suspecting mid-June right now.

    Top-to-bottom, the farm system has vastly improved.

    I like the signing. We don’t account for the missed games due to injury and illness, but they are inevitable. We also don’t take into account the jammed schedules resulting for primarily early season weather related rescheduling.

    Kirilloff’s batting average .362 compares favorably Mauer at High A level (.320). I mention that because Mauer made it to majors the following season (2004)

    Got to feel bad for Dick Bremmer during the late stages of this season. It’s hard to pump life into a dying corpse. The season has been disappointing in terms of win-loss. Berrios and Gibson are at best middle of rotation pitchers. Oder is serviceable at the backend. Stewart and Gonslaves are headed back to AAA to start next season knowing what they need to do and not do at the majors. Our middle infielders should be used for trade chips in the off-season. We need upgrades at SS and 2B, along with pitching. The good news is Lewis and Kilrliloff should start at AA next season. Assuming they perform well, they will advance to AAA by mid year and make the September expanded roster by season’s end.

    What can you even say about this game? —- It’s officially football season. The only question now is where in the 2019 do the Twins draft?

    All are performing well. Minnesota Twins traded SS Eduardo Escobar to Arizona Diamondbacks for RF Ernie De La Trinidad, RF Gabriel Maciel and RHP Jhoan Duran.

    Kernels middle infielders Helman (.379) and Davis (.308) are two players to keep an eye on. Each player is 22 years of age.

    The middle infielders in Cedar Rapids are very good
