    Better switch position. Twins have their shortstop for the next 7-10 years if they are smart and sign Correa long term!!
  2. MGM4706
    Think you may be over rating Miranda. He has no position that a team would trade a top player for and be able to say "we got our 3rd baseman or we got our 1st baseman. Miranda is shaky at both positions. Would have to be DH and continue to work on a full-time position. Twins moved Miranda in to cut down a run at the plate this week. Ball was hit to him. He hesitated, took a couple steps to first then threw home. Runner safe. That was baseball 101. Catch and throw home. Why did he think Rocco moved him in close?

    I think the REAL Truth is that the Twins have won DESPITE Baldelli! Frustrating is his handling of pitchers. Other day a reliever was pitching and couldn't throw a strike. Not even close. Guys in the booth commented that the guy was way out of rythum. Camera went to Baldelli. His face was buried in his darn notebook!! He left pitcher in for 5-6 batters and lost the game. If he had taken him out after 3 batters with 3 walks they may have won. Watch the GAME! Not the notebook. Fans saw it on TV. Booth guys saw it. But Rocco did not.

    Bring him up. Miranda struggles at first. Twins brought him in close yesterday to cut a run at the plate. Ball was hit to him and he hesitated, took a step toward 1st then threw home. Safe! Why did he think Twins had him in close? Larnach is back to waving at curve balls. Some AB's are available there
  5. MGM4706
    Good article. Buxton should be sat until healthy and then play fulltime. Having your best player only playing part time is ridiculous!! And why hold to a plan but then play both ends of a double header?
  6. MGM4706
    Don't be so set on Larnach being a lock. He still has no clue on how to play a wall and can't hit a curve all. Why teams throw him a fastball is a mystery!!
  7. MGM4706
    Put Lewis at Firstbase and be done with it. Have you seen the play at 1st? It cost us the game last night with the lousy throw 2 feet behind the Pitcher. Otherwise LF. Stop trying to chase Correa away. We know the Twins would love to dump Correa salary and say "Oh, we have Lewis". But KEEP BOTH!!
  8. MGM4706
    Donaldson was ONE of the few players who showed ANY fire for the Twins last year. Others went through the motions and collected paychecks!! He got mad at his own failures and the teams. Twins need more emotion like his!!
  9. MGM4706
    Some good comments but you missed on Larnach. He has No Clue on how to play an outfield wall and scouting reports have made him suspect at the plate. Put Lewis out there NOW.
  10. MGM4706
    First, LF or DH. LF has been filled by less than average fielders so you don't lose anything with him out there and eventually might be a gain. Larnach has no clue on how to play the fence as an example.
  11. MGM4706
    There is one BIG mistake the Twins made and that was letting their batting coach from 2 years ago leave instead and paying him more to be an Asst. Mgr. He had ALL the Twins making solid contact for extended periods. It has not been close to the same since he left for just a little more money and a title. A Twins blunder for sure!!
  12. MGM4706
    I don't see the knock on Donaldson! To me he was one of the only players that showed any passion about the losing ways. He hated it. Others just went on playing and collecting checks. As for Correa, forget the Clubhouse. Look at the field stuff. He is always in dugout encouraging and congratulating the younger guys. Always smiling. Get him signed long term and stop talking about Royce Lewis!! Lewis either goes to 1B or LF. SS is out!!
  13. MGM4706
    Start playing Royce lewis at 1B today in St. Paul!! He is athletic enough to pick it up quickly and then get him up to the bigs Would cover a lot of ground at 1st.. Time for him to live up to #1 prospect name!! Would give us another outfielder too.
  14. MGM4706
    Forget OF. Move Lewis to Firstbase and then fastrack to Target Field. Sano has refused to be coached on hitting to all fields. Trade for a prospect.
  15. MGM4706
    Correa is fine. 3 multi-hit games in a row. Sano needs to go to St Paul or another team for a young prospect! Enough with Ortiz comparison. It aint happening. He is unwilling to change his swing and use the whole field so ship him out!
  16. MGM4706
    STOP with the Exit Velocity crap! That's always the bail out with Sano. "He struck out 20 times this week but did you see the Exit Velocity on that hit he got Wed?" Ridiculous! Worst part and every former player Twins announcer like Smalley and Morneau have said it. He refuses to work on using the whole field. Look at Miggy for Detroit: 3000 hits but still over 500 Home Runs. Sano could be same hitter but he doesn't understand that after all this time. Keeps wanting to pull the ball and impress with that darn "Exit Velocity"!!
  17. MGM4706
    Not until he can stay on the field! One of the best when playing. But there is a reason he doesn't qualify for some of those categories!! Can't help from the bench. Twins are 8-8 because he was out.
  18. MGM4706
    Larnach got some hits but still has no clue what he is doing in the outfield. Gardenhire in St Paul needs to teach the kids how to play a wall. None of Twins young guys know how!!
  19. MGM4706
    Wow! The Twins have "MASTERED" helping young Pitchers? What universe are you living in? Gardenhire got fired because of his refusal to fire his good friend as a pitching coach who never improved any of the Twins pitchers. He took the guy to Detroit and same issue. Pitching never improved. The the Twins get a solid D in helping young Pitchers over the last 15 years?
  20. MGM4706
    Didn't Rocco's Cyber-Metrics binder that he stares at in the dugout tell him to hit for Kiriloff in the 9th? The kid was lost at the plate. 3 K's! Otherwise good game.
  21. MGM4706
    Not much ahead of him so he should come quickly.
  22. MGM4706
    Seth: You forgot two highly important issues!! One: Teams run on Jeffers at will. (So walks quickly turn into doubles) (Average staff = Lots of walks) Two: He struggles hitting curve balls. Much like Sano.
  23. MGM4706
    Enough of hoping for Lewis. Even when healthy he struggles hitting curveballs and hasn't even seen the good ones yet. Same as Jeffers. He can't hit curves either. And we have strikeout guys at the corners!! Plus who is playing left? Larnach is dreadful in the field and the last 6 weeks was lost at the plate. Not sure where the runs are coming from. And with the pitching staff we will need 6-7 runs a game to be competitive! Good Luck with that
  24. MGM4706
    Folks. Open your eyes! This is a salary dump. (Again)! Now we have a starting catcher who can't hit a curve ball and who teams run on at will! Lost one of the few players with any fire in Donaldson. Got an average past his prime Pitcher. And will have two average, but cheap players on the left side. Still nobody that knows how to play left field. Look for a 90 loss season.

    "Pitching Pipeline Coming"?? Amusing comment!! You have really drank the Twins Kool-Aid!!!
