Trading Gio Was A Mistake
William K Johnson replied to Cody Pirkl's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Thought it was a mistake then, think it still a mistake now. Miranda cannot play third base but at least we have Farmer to hold the spot until Lewis is ready.- 108 replies

Rumor: Twins in on Yuli Gurriel
William K Johnson replied to mnfireman's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
Miranda will play first/DH while Farmer plays third. -
Miranda was terrible at third last season. When he did catch the ball, you never knew where the throw was going. Honestly, he didn't even handle first very well. He is a right-handed DH.

Jose Miranda cannot play third base. Farmer slides there.

Now we move Farmer to third. Miranda at first or DH. It also gives additional time for Lewis to heal and Lee to develop.

Give Miranda a chance until Lewis returns, then decide if either Lewis or Farmer shift there.

Offseason Status Update: Time to Pivot
William K Johnson replied to Nick Nelson's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Everyone needs to take a deep breath. Losing Correa is not the end of the world. Farmer is a decent shortstop, and we will know by the time Lewis is ready whether he helps or hurts. Honestly our pitching staff looks better on paper than most years and our bullpen will most likely be a lot better now that we have an established closer. Catching is now acceptable, outfield has many options, and infield has many interchangeable parts. My biggest concern is third, where Miranda has shown no ability to handle it defensively. If he is given the chance and proves unable to handle it, either Lewis or Farmer shift there when Lewis is back. I still say the trading of Urschela was our worst offseason move.- 38 replies

Would Chris Archer not make a great long reliever? Why not look at that option for him.- 41 comments

You are correct. We should go with Jake Cave as our left-handed outfielder and Placidios as our back-up infielder. And we wonder why this team can't move forward.

Liked seeing Gordon at third. He needs some reps there in spring training next season so as to allow him the ability to play three infield positions and all outfield positions.

Let's see if I got this right, we get beat by Josh Harrison (how many teams have released him) and somebody named Carlos Perez (first major league RBI) beats us in the eighth inning. Then we load the bases in the ninth, only to have Mark Contreras strike out to end the game. Not Byron Buxton, Max Kepler, Jorge Polanco, Trevor Larnac, or Alex Kiriloff, but Mark Contreras. This season cannot end soon enough.

What To Do With Gio Urshela?
William K Johnson replied to Cody Pirkl's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Of course not, but have watched enough Twins games to know that we have something good at third base after watching the way the position has been butchered over the last several years.- 82 replies
