    Fantasy fan fiction. Thanks for making me worry about Buxton’s Achilles!
  3. Reptevia
    I’m thinking 12-16.

    Oh please. To pretend that this team is one piece away from even competing in this division is pure fantasy. I’ll be listening, but if everything falls into place, they finish 2nd. Prolonged injuries to any of Buxton, Correa or Polanco, and the season is probably lost. Beyond those three, there are legitimate question marks at every other position. They are either hoping for vast improvement and health or no regression to players who had a modicum of success in their short careers.
  16. Reptevia
    Main takeaway: Twins have 3 above average players on offense. They are going to have a really hard time scoring.

    MLB will broadcast games over their app, but the draconian blackout rules will remain.

    Turns out that spending billions of dollars for rights, but then only broadcasting to a small percentage of the fan base was a bad business plan. Who knew?

    If seven things fall into place, it could be a good year! Unfortunately, that list is far from comprehensive. It’s probably more like 12 things…That said, Go Twins! I’ll be listening…

    Predictions: Gallo will barely play 1b if at all. Kepler will barely play CF if at all. Taylor is the starting CF, and will end up with the most innings played there by a WIDE margin. I understand everyone is super excited by the OF defense. Yea! It’s great to have, but only really wins close games. That means we need outstanding pitching because this team will struggle to score runs. [Gordon…”was not that good last year, people seem to be missing that. He was a 1.6 WAR player. He’s a bench guy.”. And that was good for like 4th best on the team? The history suggests Buxton will regress to less than the number of games he played last year. Despite all the rainbows and unicorn kisses on here, this is not a very good team. I’m thinking somewhere around 70-80 wins, and that’s because I’m optimistic.

    “No team can survive throwing seven left-handed first basemen out into the field, no matter how well they hit the ball.” Also, no team can survive with Jeffers, Kepler and Gallo in the same lineup. Three automatic outs is too much of a lead to give up unless we win a lot of 2-1 games. Yes, we have FB pitchers. Unfortunately, a lot of the flys aren’t catchable when they’re in the stands. It should be an interesting real world/real time demonstration of how much defensive WAR is really worth.
  23. Reptevia
    “I agree that Polanco is probably the key position player this season (assuming Buxton is playing 50% of the games in CF and 30% games as DH). This team offensively could very well go the way of Polanco’s season.” This team as is will have a lot of difficulty scoring runs. Remember, Buxton played 1/3 of CF games last year! Your projections are unrealistic and more than pie in the sky.
  24. Reptevia
    I think you spelled Gallo, Kepler, Kiriloff, Larnach and the pitching staff wrong. There really isn’t a player on the team that doesn’t need to prove something this year.
  25. Reptevia
    He has less value than Taylor at this point. Better to see what he’s worth at deadline.
  26. Reptevia
    I think it’s a decent flyer to take-even at this price. Best case: Gallo=Prospects.
  27. Reptevia
    So, if last year is indicative of the plan, Buxton will play about 1/3 of CF games. Taylor plays almost all of the other 2/3. Taylor is the starting CF. It’s ok to say it out loud.
  28. Reptevia
    Given the history of this FO, yes. Yes indeed.
