    Swing and miss is Matt Lecroy over David Ortiz. Sano over Cron is more like a foul ball.
  2. Monkeypaws
    Let it be Gasser - great name for a pitcher.
  3. Monkeypaws
    Great headline ? Hopefully TC Bear can get some teeth with his new team.
  4. Monkeypaws
    Only 3 outfielders? Do some of this infielders double as outfielders?
  5. Monkeypaws
    I'd give them an A+. Haven't seen much lockout bitterness since the Correa signing.
  6. Monkeypaws
    Rocco gets a ton of credit for this happening, from Correa's account of the negotiation.
  7. Monkeypaws
    Correa is, as far as I can tell, only the 4th Carlos ever to play for the Twins. Carlos Gomez of course, Carlos Silva, and if you remember 1994 or 2003-4, Carlos Pulido. The Senators also only had 3, including Camilo Pascual's less successful smaller, older brother Carlos.

    Wow, if anything, the Twins have made this fanbase forget about the lockout. Never seen the like in crazy deals. BTW, getting out from under Donaldson's contract is a good move. MIRANDA time!

    Beat me to it!

    I've watched Raya and Varland pitch at Cedar Rapids - Petty is in good company. Good article. Nice to have good pitching prospects throughout the system.
  11. Monkeypaws
    How can you not root for this guy?
  12. Monkeypaws
    His athletic build is mentioned: what is it exactly? Size and age would be a good fundamental for these-write ups, along with last season's numbers.
  13. Monkeypaws
    Do we have any evidence, quotes, etc. that indicate Donaldson's (dis)satisfaction with the Twins?
  14. Monkeypaws
    Steve Carlton and Dave Hollins, the latter of whom was dealt for young David Arias, who just made the Hall of Fame. Can't unremember Vance Worley's glasses

    The Twins did this last year, a guy who ranks 13th all-time on dWAR per Baseball Reference, and he was criticized heavily for his lack of offensive output. 2.4 dWAR ain't good enough for some at a key defensive position.
  16. Monkeypaws
    I'd call it a tie. Yes, Kirby got the rings, but Rod got the batting titles. They were both best at their position for a long time. But Kirby never had to play for Calvin Griffith. Kirby was the first guy to break the 3 million a year barrier. He was valued by management, and had a better team to play with than Rod. Rod got traded because Griffith wouldn't pay him, and the guy would be an All-Star the next 6 seasons in Anaheim. Pohlads were cheap, but not Calvin Griffith penny-pinching cheap. They went out an got a Blyleven, or a Morris, and put their teams over the hump. Calvin would shed stars once they became too pricey, replace them with our favorite user name, Hosken Bombo Disco, although Disco was really Willie Norwood. Hell, he even dumped Killebrew. Impossible to compare really.

    Wasn't Greene also a candidate to do the pitch and hit thing a la Ohtani? Might explain his lofty status.
  18. Monkeypaws
    Wowza the movement on that slider is unreal - that'll be tough to lay off when you're facing upper 90s heat, likewise the changeup.
  19. Monkeypaws
    Looks like an interesting crop. Anderson Nova and Juan Zapata are MLB-ready in the name department.
  20. Monkeypaws
    Perhaps Falvine feel the same way - their inactivity in the free-agent market might be an indicator.
  21. Monkeypaws
    In familial discussions, we also have our own Nick Gordon to consider. Father and brother did well, and doggone Nick has shown signs of promise. That said, I have an entirely different skill set from my Dad and my bothers. Mom's genes enter the conversation at some point.
  22. Monkeypaws
    Brothers of stars always make me think of Ozzie Canseco, or Keith Gretzky. Perhaps Bryan will fare better.
  23. Monkeypaws
    Old, or past prime - Rogers may bounce back, but the other 3 are past their "best by" date. Doesn't mean they might still contribute, but, ahh, you know what I mean. Not pieces to build around.
  24. Monkeypaws
    Aren't we forgetting Kepler?
  25. Monkeypaws
    How would you grade them using the lil kids grading scale of E-Excellent, S-Satisfactory, NI-Needs Improvement?
