    Agree totally with #2. Berrios is our impact starter, and there is a long line of pretty good looking guys to back him up.
  2. Monkeypaws
    Morani looks like a fast track candidate - as he fills in, with those numbers. What kind of stuff are we talking about here?

    Hah, Mr. Beeker has a sense of humor. Seems like a smart young man, with a pretty cool name to boot.

    Get 'em ready. Buxton is a no brainer to us who watch him, probably the most amazing CF I've ever seen. Baseball likes to honor the usual suspects tho, and Mauer's treatment is pretty typical of how I expect this to go down.

    Pitch to a pitchers strengths as opposed to pitch to contact. Hmm, I'm in.

    I think the Twins have some nice young arms on the way. Besides Berrios, you have Gonsalves, Romero, Thorpe, maybe even Stewart. I've said it before, and will say it again - just throwing money around is a fool's errand. I think the owners feel the same way. I hope the new regime will be able to uncover the future Klubers and Arrietas on the cheap. They are out there.

    Are we certain that Berrios is not gonna be the guy moving forward? He certainly has the stuff and the make-up to be a top starter. His 23 year old season was quite successful as well.

    Getting Darvish just isn't gonna happen, and that isn't a bad thing. I wanna see Falvine put their magic to work and unearth some hidden gems. Hell, Santana was a rule 5 guy. Liriano part of a package deal for a vet. Cubs got Arrieta and Strop for Clevinger and Feldman. I know fans here are tired of the scrapheap approach, but I find that much more satisfying when it works than throwing giant wads of money around. That isn't in the Twins DNA.

    Close? I guess you and I have different lifestyles John

    Riverbrian and Chief got it right. Watching BB go wild in the field are some of my favorite Twin moments, and I watched Bob Allison play. Generational excellence should never be second guessed. BB is still just 23. He'll learn in time not to kill himself. Hell, Tori's ran through an outfield wall in his youth

    Somebody needs to give them a "this is not inevitable" speech here.
  12. Monkeypaws
    How secure is a 3 run lead. Hmm, with their pen? Hope the management are taking notes tonite.

    Whaddaya know, another dramatic game 163 with the Twins. Left they were leading 3-0, come back losing 5-4. I fear that game ending BP in NY. Well, play the damn game and see what happens. Just saw the Buxton catch - hsmf

    A stunned silence falls on Yankee Stadium....

    Most improved: Berrios. He was worse than awful last season. Berrios 2016: 3-7, ERA 8.02, 74 hits in 58 innings Berrios 2017: 14-8, ERA 3.89, 131 hits in 145 innings. That is a complete turnaround. Buxton's numbers are better, but not to that degree: Buxton 2016: .225 BA, 10 HR, 38 RBI, .714 ops. Buxton 2017: .253 BA, 16 HR, 51 RBI, .728 ops, in about 160 more at bats.

    Belisle looks like he's chewing on a dog dump
  17. Monkeypaws
    Like to see Duffey working the fastball. Free innings to try something new.
  18. Monkeypaws
    Hell of a wild card to be able to play. They should let him PH against the Tiger pen a couple times just to get that awkwardness out of the way. We have pinch runners galore if he actually gets a hit.
  19. Monkeypaws
    You do if out of the 14 they are the handful you can actually count on.
  20. Monkeypaws
    That 82nd win is pretty special: return to winning baseball, relevance, possibly the post-season, the whole shebang.
  21. Monkeypaws
    Eephus, that is the exact example I was gonna put out there. Tim Young scored the overtime winner that broke the curse in the playoffs, and the Stars rarely lost there again.
  22. Monkeypaws
    Love the joy a foul ball brings to a child !
  23. Monkeypaws
    Nice numbers from Vasquez and Lujan. They would have popped my eyes coming from 19 year olds, but from 23 year olds, guys above average league age, not so much. Still, efficiency should be rewarded.
  24. Monkeypaws
    I don't like retiring numbers. A team hall of fame is sufficient. Especially the single digit numbers!

    Remind what kind of stuff Littell has plz. Like his profile
