    I love Sano but my epiphany on him came a few years ago, in a plate appearance against Chris Archer in fact. All of us had already seen the same streaky Sano by that time, either locked in or zoned out. Sano was in one of his slumps, and Archer worked him to 1-2, then 2-2. Then I thought “yup, here comes the high outside fastball waste pitch, followed by slider low and away on 3-2, for swing and a miss,” and... that’s what happened. I’ve only seen one game so far this season but I assume Sano still hasn’t changed much, otherwise this thread wouldn’t be here. I think Sano is fine, there’s nothing really “wrong” with him, but he just doesn’t see the pitch out of the pitcher’s hand as well as the average MLB-er. So it takes Sano that extra moment to recognize the spin, get his body in motion, and by that time, it’s too late. So, knowing all of this, he makes up his mind to swing a tiny bit earlier than he should (also accounting for all the check swings we have seen over the years). Anyway that’s just one idea.

    There have been various TD members here arguing that Twins might have to take a gamble on a low year, high AAV contract, to get one of these guys. And here it is! Correa has missed some time but he is the real deal in the field and at the plate and especially in the clubhouse, as we are learning. It’s gonna be fun!

    Just to fill in more context: Duran threw 115 innings in 2019 as a minor league starter (about 5 innings per start), he threw an unknown number of simulated innings in 2020, and was down to only 16 innings at triple A in 2021. Have the Twins announced an innings limit for Duran for 2022? Seems like there will be one, granted, not all innings are alike. Is 50 to 70 a good guess? That’s a light but okay number of innings for a typical big league reliever over a full season. As a starter, 50-70 innings won’t get you to the All Star break unless the starts were very short. The big league bullpen seems like the right place for Duran. I don’t see the point of shipping Duran to AAA right away.

    Welcome back!

    Damn! I cannot say I am displeased with the starting 9. This signing certainly gives context to this goofy cryptic Tweet from yesterday:

    Well you were right they did trade Donaldson! i really thought Kiner-Falefa was going to be the full time short stop for the next year or two until Royce Lewis was ready for his chance, or Martin. There was some logic to that move to acquire him. But now Kiner-Falefa gets traded right away again to the Yankees. So What do I know?

    Maybe Luis Gil!!!

    It’s just us. Although, Texas, Cinci and the Yankees have been involved in some recent moves as well.

    I was looking forward to watching our rag tag bunch of misfits from last year oh well. Go Twins!

    Agree. Garver is the better guy to have than Sanchez.

    i just don’t see how much ground this makes up on Chicago this year, and it cost us a #1 Pick But the Twins do need pitching in the present, badly.

    Twins also acquire an AA arm https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=peguer003fra

    here are my initial thoughts: uff da Petty was our number one pick, so I guess I don’t understand the draft and scouting and selection process here
  17. Hosken Bombo Disco
    With a DH now in both leagues, Garver is likely to be more valuable going forward than he was previously (setting aside the comparison with Arraez)

    This, from the fellow who hates Mitch Garver with “the intensity of a thousand white hot suns”??

    You are in mid-season form already. I love it!

    MLB player pages still in lockout state and no headshots yet—no official deal yet? (I’ll show myself out..)
