Who is Part of the Twins' Long-Term Core Four?
mini_tb replied to Cody Christie's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Then I'm going to add Astudillo to the core six??? of the 87 and 91 teams because he tried a lot and could have been a sparkplug for those teams.- 84 replies

Who is Part of the Twins' Long-Term Core Four?
mini_tb replied to Cody Christie's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
A lot of Twins fans wear rose colored glasses when it comes to Dan Gladden. He had an OPS+ of 76 in 1987 and 80 in 1991. Yeah, he was on both teams, and they mostly won in spite of him. Is that what we're calling a core player?- 84 replies

Lockout Lookup: Buddy Boshers

My son had a hamster named Buddy. To the best of my knowledge, he never lost a game for the Twins either. -
Am I Still Excited About Willians Astudillo?
mini_tb replied to Nick Nelson's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
While La Tortuga is a great human interest story and a seemingly great guy, he is a defensively challenged out making machine. MLB pitchers will continue to feast on his free swinging/high contact "approach". I'm ready to see Astudillo making outs in another organization at this point. -
The Houston Astros Guide to Public Apologies
mini_tb replied to RandBalls Stu's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Their fans in the mlbtraderumors comments are also interesting. Their defense/excuse/justification is always to bring up other cheating scenarios, whether it's steroids, Pete Rose, or accusing all of the other teams of similar infractions. Definitely not accusing all Astros fans of having that mindset - just the mlbtraderumors ones.- 18 replies

I'd gladly trade them Chase De Jong. I wouldn't even ask for much in return.

It would be a bold move if they moved on from Adrianza and kept Arraez. -
9 total bases out of Sano and Buxton. How many times do you suppose we saw that in 2018?

Don't sleep on Morneau. He's one of the league leaders in Wins Above Raplacement Announcer. -
It's refreshing to see both Lewis and Kiriloff at the top of the list with multi-hit games, also Gordon. It helps mask the stench of Thorpe's clunker.

I'd much rather see the Twins try to revive the corpse of Ervin Santana than keep trotting De Jong out there.

Rosa Parks' (probably no relation to ByungHo) house in Detroit was recently slated for demolition, but an American feller in Germany bought it, moved it, and reassembled it in Berlin. Weird but true. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2017/04/10/a-house-without-a-home-rosa-parkss-detroit-dwelling-was-resurrected-in-berlin/?utm_term=.0ad800c5709b -

Rosario Selfish and Reckless...Twins should sever ties...
mini_tb commented on huhguy's blog entry in Blog huhguy
"And now we learn Rosario has two little kids and a wife to take care of...cut him mn now..this guy is reckless and not worth the distress!!" He and/or his wife are obviously very fertile and should be removed from the organization immediately. Same goes for Mauer and his twins. As a matter of fact, family is nothing but a distraction. I bet that's why Mauer is striking out so much this year.
