    RIP In Peace, Zoobz. My Dad had a pair of "weekend Zubaz" that he wore every Saturday & Sunday through most of the Nineties. Mom ended up ironing on several dozen patches over the years. That's love.

    Agree to disagree.

    Donaldson made what was described as a "very generous" offer and Eddie declined again. Don't act like there aren't some hard feelings there with 2 big egos involved. They're not airing it out in the press, but I think it's safe to say Eddie & Josh won't be best friends. https://www.skornorth.com/twins-2/2020/02/word-is-eddie-rosario-will-be-keeping-no-20-josh-donaldson-to-wear-no-24/

    I'm not so sure, Eddie's a pretty emotional guy. It's part of what I love about him, but I'd say he's the most likely person on the team to feel slighted by losing "his spot" to newcomers. I mean, the kerfuffle over #20 already shows he's not taking a backseat to Donaldson.

    vs RHP: Polanco Donaldson Kepler Cruz Sano Rosario Garver Arraez Buxton vs LHP: Garver Donaldson Cruz Sano Kepler Polanco Rosario Buxton Arraez Imagine being a lefty warming up knowing that's your first 4. I wonder if Eddie is going to throw a **** fit about being moved out of the cleanup spot? It feels like he will.

    But then there's the Damn Yankees...If the Twins don't find a way to get the #1 seed, I just can't see them getting past the Evil Empire.

    If we could get 1/2 a season of Trevor Bauer (assuming the Reds don't make the leap into contention) for Larnach and #20-30 prospect, would you do it?

    2017 was, by all accounts, the year the Astros cheated the most. Marwin's 2017 stats are such an aberration compared to the rest of his career. He had an OPS+ of 146 when his next best season is 109 and his average is season is right around 100. I think cutting him would be a great message for the Twins to send to the league, but I also don't understand how it would affect clubhouse dynamics. It definitely shouldn't be off the table, though.
  10. Marcusesm
    Perfect! That's right where we need him to be.

    I'm optimistic that they'll make the playoffs again in 2020, but it doesn't seem like they have the "impact pitching" to get past the first round. Gotta hope for a miracle with one of our prospects, if there's gonna be an ace on this staff any time soon.
  12. Marcusesm
    Seems like a wee bit of a stretch. I'd be happy if he just became a top 7 right fielder in the league, don't really need him to be an MVP/Superstar.

    Then they'll say, "we're saving payroll to make some big mid-season trades." Meanwhile, the Pohlad's buy another mansion - http://www.citypages.com/arts/wanna-buy-a-pohlad-bros-hotel-looking-edina-mansion/476000353

    If they're not spending on free agents, hopefully there's a plan to lock up Berrios, Buxton and Sano on front loaded contracts for their prime years. If the Twins go into the 2020 season with a $100M payroll, it'll be a disgusting failure of an offseason.
  15. Marcusesm
    I think Eddie (and Berrios to a lesser extent) are a little butt hurt they didn't get contract extensions last off-season like their peers Polanco and Kepler. They were both likely asking for more money, but it's gotta suck knowing your boys are set for life while you're still arbitration eligible. Might not be a bad time this offseason to extend Berrios and test the trade market on Eddie.
  16. Marcusesm
    According to the collective bargaining agreement, that's not actually true. Otherwise owners would've banned it a long time ago. Either way, we need to stop being such children. It's not our job to protect other people from themselves.
  17. Marcusesm
    Meh. They're adults. I think it's a disgusting habit but if they want to do it, who cares? Our culture has become such a bunch of wimps.
  18. Marcusesm
    Digging the bullpen usage spreadsheet, that's a great idea!
  19. Marcusesm
    My dad will definitely call him Marvin.

    Zero chance the Pohlad's approve a 9 figure contract immediately after finally getting out from under Mauer's deal.
