    I suspect Rosario is non-tendered or traded as there are potential replacements in house. I like him as a player, but he's a bit too boom or bust on a team that has way too many boom/bust type players. Rodgers probably stays as he's a bounce back candidate... even at that cost.

    while I'm high on Rooker, I don't think his 19 MLB at bats outweighs his minor league career. If you're concerned about streaky hitters, replacing a guy like Sano with Rooker will likely not yield better results. I'd rather get a bit more data on Rooker before I rely on him... As for Sano, I think we're going to have to do some moving around, like it or not. I'm not sure a lineup stacked with boom or bust types is going to get us much more than the elusive play off win, much less a world series. So for the right offer, I'd probably move him... it would have to be a good offer though.

    I understand a trend, but balls and strikes is one technology can fix and one that quite frankly will end the frustration that a lot of fans have. It's a game integrity issue. Perhaps it changes the outcome, perhaps not. We don't know, but the idea that it shoudln't be fixed is preposterous in my opinion.

    If he wants to come back, he should stay. He's not the problem on this team. I'm fine going a year to year until he shows he's done.
  5. diehardtwinsfan
    Cruz should absolutely return... he DHs until he proves he cannot. Sano can stay on first.

    as someone who didn't watch the game, can I ask what happened in that abomination of the 9th inning?
  7. diehardtwinsfan
    for the right price sure... not sure his contract situation... and 4 games is a bit of a small sample. Like others, I doubt we see much in terms of block buster trades... Bundy has too many question marks to fetch an exorbitant price, but if the price was right, I'd get him.
  8. diehardtwinsfan
    definitely a baseball diamond on the tv... if video isn't allowed, that's a violation.. whether they were cheating or not.
  9. diehardtwinsfan
    it certainly worked out for Houston. Hopefully it does for us too and at the end of the day we can say that this was a trade that ultimately benefited both teams... I guess the real question is whether or not Pressley would have helped us advance in 2019... I don't think we beat the Yankees with him, but I do wonder if we had a better seed and didnt' have to play them due to a better seed.
  10. diehardtwinsfan
    We're 9-2 and already have a decent lead after playing one of our harder stretches... I'm liking the way this season is shaping up... Hopefully, we can get Buxton, Sano, Garver, and Donaldson on track...
  11. diehardtwinsfan
    Seems to me that the value of a deep lineup is being able to let those injuries heal instead of playing a player at 90% and possibly making it worse... If you see a rash of these things, I'd be worried.
  12. diehardtwinsfan
    this... hopefully this is due to Arraez getting a bit stronger. Like others said, I don't want to see his contact ability change.. you need that, especially in situations with runners on where a walk isn't going to do much.... now if the contact ability stays the same and he gets a bit more power... let's just say that's makings of a very good career.
  13. diehardtwinsfan
    number 1 might not be an over-reaction...
  14. diehardtwinsfan
    60-0 here we come.
  15. diehardtwinsfan
    I've got to think if you've looked past 2019, that Rosario probably has a couple top 5 60 game performances.
  16. diehardtwinsfan
    this logic is wrong because you're only taking 50% off of one group (black males) and then applying it to an entire population ignoring the fact that there are zero women baseball players in the majors (and probably the minors too, but I haven't looked). I'd love to see a female professional ballplayers some day, but I highly doubt I see that happening in my lifetime much less women making up a noticeable percentage of MLB players. 13% of Americans are black... that's true. Approximately 13% of American males are black as well. Until women make up a sizeable percentage of baseball players, there's no need to adjust that number downward, and even then it wouldn't be done because black women become part of the conversation.

    I would argue that baseball really needs to re-invest in the inner cities of this country as well as youth programs all over the country. The path to getting to the majors is much harder in professional baseball and its popularity with the youth continues to dive... that to me is a much larger problem but would also make headway here.
  18. diehardtwinsfan
    I'd rather them be disrespected and come in with a chip on their shoulder than to get too much respect and get overconfident.
  19. diehardtwinsfan
    I blame Randball for the curse.
  20. diehardtwinsfan
    hopefully we get good Buxton and not slow start Buxton... Cause good Buxton is a huge difference maker.
  21. diehardtwinsfan
    A lot of that rest is keeping him fresh for the dog days of summer so to speak... with a 60 game schedule, I think he might end up playing in a higher percentage of games. Obviously, being a catcher, he's going to get some needed days off, but I'm hoping he sees a higher percentage of games than he would have in a full 162 game season.
  22. diehardtwinsfan
    the sample size will be a big factor here too. Bad teams can be decent for 60 games... Good teams can be bad, and occasionally great.
  23. diehardtwinsfan
    was this an anti-body test or a positive test? There are pretty big differences and unfortunately plenty of states as well as the CDC have been conflating the results.
  24. diehardtwinsfan
    Other than rentals for dirt cheap, I doubt you see any trades... going to be a quiet market I think.
  25. diehardtwinsfan
    in a 60 game season, I'm guessing that health is going to be a much bigger X factor this year than most.
