I kept hearing that the 2nd year of team control was the reason he's here. But it doesn't really matter if he's going to continue throwing meatballs over the plate.
Or alternatively it could be that he signed a semi lucrative extension when many players are working really really hard to improve their weaknesses so they can cash in?
Mahle has a career 4.2 FIP.. Giving up all of these assets for someone you' wouldn't be excited about pitching game 1 of a playoff series seems like a pretty big mistake.
Feels a lot better than a sweep. Win 2 from the Rockies and go from there. The bullpen could use another long start though. A short start could be disastrous.
Could be very fun to watch Martin, Arraez, AK, and Miranda in a batting order. The OBP would be something to behold. And it could happen as soon as next year.
I can't shake the feeling that Jose Miranda is one of the best 50 prospects in baseball. I can't remember a Twins prospect mashing AA/AAA like this at 22/23. 300+ at bats isn't that small of a sample.
Wallner could move up quickly. Can't be long until we see him at AA.
I don't care too much either way. I'm just tired of watching him strike out. It's not fun I also think it's time to end the Polanco at SS experiment. He doesn't hit well enough to cover his bad defense. Bring up Lewis, Arraez at 2nd. Polanco will be a serviceable utility man.
