Local Man Selects March 16th as Byron Buxton Panic Day
jjswol replied to RandBalls Stu's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
The Falvey regime keeps their cards close to their vest. It is kind of amazing how they manage that process. -
The Twins Dark Horse Designated Hitter
jjswol replied to Ted Schwerzler's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Why would you take a young up and coming hitter like this and turn him into a DH? I have a better chance of being the Twins DH then this happening and I haven't picked up a bat in over 57 years.- 34 replies

I am not overly concerned about Pagan, he either performs or he doesn't. I am guessing he is on a short leash to begin the season. A bigger gamble is Carlos Correa because if he goes down with an ankle issue Minnesota becomes the laughing stock of MLB and ownership pretty much has no choice but to jettison Falvey and Levine. See, there is always a silver lining to be found.

It seems that a lot of people have Gordon as more valuable than I see him.

Trade Target: Twins Should Say "Hello" to Adell
jjswol replied to Seth Stohs's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Seth, I agree 100%. He has not panned out in LA (so far) but I would love to see him get a shot with the Twins. He reminds me if Shane Mack in a way. A change of scenery might be just the thing to get him to the next level. I think he is a risk worth taking, it just depends on what the Angels want in return. -
There is no such thing as a total no trade clause. There is always a way around it, it just depends on how bad you want to make a deal.

The Top 20 Minnesota Twins Assets of 2023: Part 4 (1-5)
jjswol replied to Nick Nelson's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
If he can finally find a way to shake off the injuries and stay somewhat healthy. Isn't that like saying if Miguel Sano didn't strike out so much he would be a great player? Instead he finds himself looking for a job.- 25 replies

There is absolutely no reason to think that Buxton is going to be healthier as he ages. The Twins needs to catch him in one of his healthy productive streaks and trade him as quickly as possible. Get as much as you can for him as you can while you can.

Fine and good but you can't assume that these players would have signed for the same dollars to play for the Minnesota Twins.

Jordan Balazovic Ends Season on a High Note
jjswol replied to Cody Christie's topic in Twins Minor League Talk
I sure am glad I don't have to make a decision on him. The man threw only 5 innings twice this year, both happened in September. In 21 starts he never hit the 80 pitch mark. His stats for this year are dismal. https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=balazo000jor. Still very young but being young doesn't make you a pitcher. I would try to move him before his so called potential disappears totally.
