    Upton would have to be convinced he could get enough playing time at 1B, all 3 OF spots and DH. It seems there may be more of an opportunity with the Pads if he wants more opportunity. THat will be hard to top.

    Arreaz at 5 is iffy i do like the concept of this year only rankings. But the tier groups mess up actual rankings

    Twins will go 91-70. They will have a rain out that doesn’t get made up because of the condensed schedule. I am bullish on their record cause while their pitchers have serious risks. I can see ways to minimize several of them and if I can so can the Twins. The pitching will be better then expected because of the potential and flexibility of our pitching being in new roles and succeeding.

    I vote Al

    Exactly This!

    Reading on mlbtraderumors that Paddack lacks a good third pitch. Might he start in our pen first to work on third pitch? maybe adding a slider to go with his fastball and change?

    I am not a fan of trading Rogers. I was kinda hoping we extend him a few more seasons. will be interesting to see what the offers are for. if we can get something worthwhile maybe.

    he doesn't walk much. close to 1k per inning. last year had HR's in check vs the other 2 years. ut he is giving up more hits. Still it looks like he gave up runs in bunches looking at his whip and with pitching back to the mean his era should drop. if we just give up Larnarch for him that works for me.

    I think Rooker could be the Twins DH this year once he gets over his shoulder issue and gets on a roll. I say DL him if the shoulder is the issue and keep him when he comes off the DL and play him and see what happens. There is nothing wrong with giving someone who can hit with power a chance to show he can hit regularly enough otherwise.

    What is your favorite Butera moment with the Twins?

    The leash was longer because the next 4 ranked options were all injured at the time we wanted to replace Shoemaker. These guys were all hurt Dobnak, Thorpe, Smeltzer, Duran and there was no one else that would be considered ready at that time.

    I think this rotation is set up to have stacked days. Bundy and Archer should be able to get through 3-5 innings. Jax or Winder in the pen can be counted on for 2-3 innings. now we are in the 7th or 8th innings and we can go to the regular bullpen guys to finish out the game. I think if we can get games like that out of them we will be fine. just we need to make sure that we are taking them out at the right time. Also Ober and Gray don't go deep into games all that often either. I hope this year we see more 5-6 innings from Ober then the 4-5 innings from last year. I think Ryan has the chance to be a solid 5-6 inning guy.

    Debate topic.  who is the better Prospect/ Pitcher Winder or Duran.  I don't want to debate but thought that would be fun since it looks like both will make the team.

    It never happens to Ofers. Kubel says hi.
  15. Brandon
    If that is the case then we could trade someone like Garlick or Rooker or Cave to get the deal done. Cause no one wants Hosmer at this point. I wonder if we also ate some of that contract if we could flip him to KC? Maybe SD pays 25 million we pay 10 then KC pays the remaining 25 million and get their 1B back.

    Guys we do not need to panic about our C depth. We have Jeffers then Sanchez then Goday and the Banuelos. Banuelos is a good defensive C who will hit like Rortvedt has already hit in the majors. Meaning his bat is mediocre at best. That is what you want from a 4th C. We are good. He will be waiting in AAA for the call. He was a 5th round draft pick we acquired from Seattle for the ability to spend a million on international players Or for literally nothing.
  17. Brandon
    Maybe we get Yu Darvish and some cash say 15 million to help cover last 2 seasons of his contract for a package built around Kepler.

    On the plus side, the Padres have extra starters and could use a low cost LF.

    There was a discussion article by Ted on main page for grading the offseason.

    When you look at it as Simmons Donaldson, Garver, and Rortvedt vs Correa, Urshala, Sanchez. The Twins gain with Correa over Donaldson and Urshala over Simmons but how much is given back in the Garver over Sanchez. on the pitching side it would be nice to have a better starter but at least Bundy and Archer have potential. Also Buxton extension was key too. Really there should be an A- and B+ options as this is where most were grading the Twins earlier.
  21. Brandon
    Too bad we can’t DL him to give him 2 or 3 minor league starts to build up and hone in a little bit more.
  22. Brandon
    Maybe this year we include the retreads and judge based off of how unlikely they were to make the team. Im rooting for Banuelos to get some time with the Twins. We got him from Seattle for international spending capacity so they could go after Ohtani. He is a good defensive C reported at time of trade.
  23. Brandon
    Your logic is sound and well articulated and thought out . “ It just has to work cause I need it to. “. Best argument ever
  24. Brandon
    I dont think 3B is as big of a downgrade as you do. Donaldson only played what 60% of the games there. Didn't Arreaz get a lot of starts there? he is returning. Urshula is better defensively and less on offense. at DH its a downgrade depending on who is rotating in. Sanchez will still catch a lot of games. and C is downgraded but by how much exactly. Jefferson is the better defensive C just not near as good offensively as Garver. Sanchez can cover most of Sanchez power. He just won't hit for average. though i suspect his average will improve because he will get more rest since he will only catch about 35-40% of the games. With Buxton being available in 80% of the games is a huge bonus as will having correa all season. THe offense will also have Killeroff all season and Miranda could get called up and make an impact. I think our offense will be fine. Pitching still has issues however. ..... We could win 85+ games and be a playoff contender. there are 12 teams now.
  25. Brandon
    You are missing the MIranda factor in this. Miranda could come up ad start mashing. If he can do that then the Donaldson trade becomes a huge win. Here's to hoping.
