    After seeing what I did last year, I was baffled why the FO decided to let Astudillo go and keep Pagan. The Turtle not only was a better pitcher, but he could catch in a pinch and was an okay hitter. Again baffled this year why they are keeping Pagan when Astudillo is available.

    Does Kep flat out refuse to even attempt to go the the left side, even bunt, or is he simply incapable of doing it??? A few bunts up the third base line with the third baseman by second would a stopped the overload to right.

    If so, what do you see happening to Polanco??

    My father in law, and avid avid Twins fan, albeit pretty cynical, assures me that Buxton will be out with a season ending hang nail by May 15th.

    Agree with that. I also would like to see if they can get anything for Pagan and Lopez, but I seriously doubt there would be any takers.

    I keep thinking the teams will spend themselves into oblivion with these insane contracts, but it never seems to happen. The fans just pay more and more and more but that doesnt drive enough fans away to send a message to baseball FO's. Good for the players if they can get it.

    Calvin Griffith was right. "They'll ruin baseball". It has just taken a bit longer than he thought it would.

    I doubt anyone would want to pick up that $11M contract based on his recent productivity.
  29. Florida Flash
    Did it really take $11M to sign this guy?? What other teams were standing in line offering this kind of money,. Yet they didnt want to pay Gio $10 M, which I also thought was high, but I think Gio is a much better player than Gallo at this point in time. Nevertheless, I will be pulling for Gallo, but think that money could have been better spent/

    Kepler will be better with the new shift rule since he insisted on hitting into the 7 guys on the right side of the field. Why he didn't simply bunt to the left, or even fake it once in a while was baffling to me. Maybe he just can't but I find that hard to believe. Do that a couple of times and the shift on him would stop.

    It seemed to me that with only a few exceptions (Arrez and hmmmm maybe there is another one) everyone was swinging for the fences, because that is where the money is. (ie they still seem to love Sano, 200 K's if healthy, .090 ba, 20 hr's if healthy, slow, but hey, maybe he will hit a home run once in a while) Standard Twins scenario, bases loaded, nobody out, result: strike out, double play. Rarely a sac fly. They dont have to win all the time but they do have to be fun to watch. Leaving runners in scoring position so often is not fun to watch.

    As best as I recall I predicted .500, they did worse. Although for the first time in my life, and I have been a Twins fan since day one here, I called the whole division right. Had the East winners right also since I pick the Yankees every year. Picked the Astros also, of course both those picks were no brainers. I had Red Sox, Toronto, and Chicago in playoffs. No way did I think Rays or Seattle would have the years they had..

    If the Yankee's want him, that is a done deal, end of story. Same with the Dodgers, (if the Yankees aren't in it) although it would be fun to see a bidding war between those two "the sky isn't even the limit" teams. I think the Twins are out as I think Correa has to be disgusted by the total collapse of the Twins and lack of much offense this year and what looks like the near future. Red Sox or Philly (who would want to live in Philly?) are my choices assuming the Yankees or Dodgers opt out.

    I hate to say it but I think the Vesili Warriors or Miesville Mudhens can beat the Twins if they put on Yankee uniforms. No offense meant to Vesili or Miesville.

    For sure a new FO!!!!! If we get a new manager, hire a baseball guy that never heard of a spreadsheet.
