  1. I'm not a fan of spending big on free agents(not that i should care it's not my money), I just look around the league and see subpar player blocking up roster spots due to the size of their contract. I think Twins' fans are lucky that Mauer provides the value he does, not what you signed him for but better then Pujols. I think this is the year to sign a premier free agent pitcher, you have some contracts coming off the books soon and, if your lucky you trade away an extra pitcher at the deadline if the younger arms are forcing their way onto the roster.
  2. One thing to remember with Kepler is he just has a lot less baseball experience than probably any professional his same age as he did not face the same amount or level of competition growing up in Germany. I would guess he is getting by more due to athleticism and his baseball instincts will continue to improve with more experience. I also think he is the one that you could put off signing to an extension for another year, unless he signs a more team friendly deal or they feel he is a good bet to continue to develop.
  3. I guess I was mostly stating he is the one Molitor has used and most likely will continue to choose to use, so I guess I'm satisfied so far with what he's doing with the opportunities.
  4. Best closer with the most saves on the Twins' 25 man roster, and they sure as hell shouldn't trade for another one during the season. I also doubt they could talk Molitor into using someone else within the current system.
  5. Not sure where to bring this up but... Chih-Wei Hu's fastball in limited MLB appearances was an average of 93 mph, why am I thinking on of the knocks on him when traded for Jepsen was his fastball velocity was below average?
  6. Will we see Granite join the Twins this year as a 4th outfielder so we can keep Grossman out of the outfield?
  7. St. Louis doesn't have a first round pick and lost 2 picks for the Astros hack.
  8. So can a team take a low ranked college senior in the first round sign them cheap and use the money to sign all the sliders.
  9. Even better would be a pitcher that could catch and catcher that could be a LOOGY.
