    I only like Hand if the FO thinks he's a viable closer committee member that would enable Duran to be used in multi-inning situations when necessary. There are other viable LOOGYs out there if they're wanting another matchup bullpen arm.

    Should the Twins have interest in Matt Barnes who was just DFA by Boston? I'm a bit intrigued...

    Celestino is clearly tracking in the right direction; and I hope that he keeps it up. But bestowing upon him the moniker of "Contact King" seems premature when he's struck out in 23% of AB in MLB play to date and in 31% of 895 MiLB AB.

    I disagree. That would be akin to moving Mauer to 1B. Mauer played well there but his athleticism & throwing arm could have been leveraged better in a corner OF spot. Lewis is far too athletic to station him at 1B at this point of his career. Agree on cutting ties with Sano. Although I have seen him make an effort this season to be be more patient at the plate, that's not his comfort zone. He inevitably defaults back to swinging far too freely.

    I LOVED the portrayal of Ron Washington in that movie. And he got to deliver some killer lines. Agree that depth issues are more concerning at the other positions you cited here.

    It saddens me that Jeffers has been the DH when Sanchez is catching & another position player isn't rotating through DH that game. Certainly we ought to have someone who represents more of an offensive threat in that role. Miranda perhaps? I mean, Celestino, Garlick, Gordon & Jeffers strike no fear in the hearts of opposing teams. The starting staff has been a very pleasant surprise. But the bullpen inspires minimal confidence.

    Duffey reminds me so much of Eddie Guardado in his pitching approach. I'd really rather not see him in the closer role, though. He doesn't seem to have that same craftiness that Eddie G had to find some way to get most guys out. That said, Pagan as a Twin so far has reminded me of Brandon Kintzler - no nasty out pitch he can rely on to end an at bat. IDK who should close. I don't really want that to fall to Duran either. Maybe Joe Smith until Alcala returns?

    Hmmm. I had forgotten about Upton being a FA. I wouldn't mind him on the Twins roster for the veteran's minimum salary. Celestino should definitely be returned to St Paul if he's going to be used that situationally.
  20. Eicemann
    I agree. Neither is Ober. I think the Twins will now start with a 6 man rotation to start the season & tighten it to 5 as circumstances warrant. Could be due either to injury or poor performance among the current 6 options.
  21. Eicemann
    I'm rooting hard for Derek Fisher to put it together and make the team as a 4/5 OF. I just don't think it's going to happen for him. Would love to see a speed guy in that role who could also serve as a situational PR (e.g. Billy Hamilton).
  22. Eicemann
    I'm most excited for Duran because (hopefully) it means that his elbow issues are behind him or at least under control. Would also love Winder to solidify his baseline performance in St Paul and be a viable option in June.
  23. Eicemann
    Most excited to see Lewis because it will likely represent progress on his part. The arrival of Miranda or Martin will likely signify a roster void to be filled due to injury (Donaldson or Buxton) or perhaps a trade (Arraez or Kepler).
  24. Eicemann
    I fundamentally disagree with moving Polanco back to SS. He has demonstrated superior performance at 2B. If you're concerned about creating a logjam at 2B and favor Arraez over Polanco, then trade Polanco at the peak of his value now. Don't force fit into SS to fill a void and decrease both his on field performance and trade value in the future.
  25. Eicemann
    I'd love to see the Twins take a run at Rodon. I just don't see it happening. T. Walker intrigues me, as does Hamilton in a reserve OF role. He's a better complement to the starters in that role than Captain CAVEman. Your bullpen still needs work IMO. I like Giles, but adding him isn't enough,
