Lol, I love the "In The Heights" reference in the title. Very sneaky.

Lets Redesign MLB All-Star Week
I'd love to see skills competition that is informed by Stat Cast numbers. For instance, the 5 fastest base stealers according to stat cast go head to head. Top five exit velo guys go head to head. Etc.

3 Nominations for the 2021 Twins Hall of Fame Class
Is Gladden still not in? He feels like a no brainer to me. I'd also non-ironically vote for Punto, as watching him play gave me so much joy.

What others are saying about the trade
I'm wondering if at any point the Twins looked at the entirety of the deal and thought about offering Brusdar and a stud outfielder for Mookie and Price. Seems like a huge win now move for minimal prospect collateral.

Taijuan Walker
I wonder if he'd be a candidate for a Pineda type contract. Take this year to get right, and then next year you're a Twin.

Donaldson Official Introduction Press Conference (11:00am Jan 22)
I thought the answer regarding the number was interesting. He seemed a bit cagey. Was he intimating that he's negotiating with Rosie, or that he knows that Rosie won't be around on opening day anyways?

Dave St. Peter
Funny enough, I was with my wife at Galleria in Edina the other day and Saw DStP walking around. As I passed him, I said "Any signings or trades I need to be on the look out for??" He looked up and smiled and said "Stay Tuned!"

Twins Could Trade for a Former Free Agent Target
I'd do it for the right return price. If Darvish was a Free Agent, he'd likely be seeking 5/100 right now.

3 Things
That feels like an overpay for two relievers, to me. Perhaps I'm way off base, but I sense that Rooker alone could net a pretty decent reliever. That's two first round draft picks, and two MLB ready role players. I'd be totally open to acquiring the guys you mentioned, but think we should also be seriously looking at MadBum. It's time.

Article: Twins Prospect Spotlight: Luis Arraez
I can't help but wonder if he's being showcased as a trade chip. It seems like it would be silly to not try and extend Schoop at this point. I would aim for a 2 year extension, with money retroactive for his performance this season, so it ends up being like a 3 year situation overall. Otherwise, 2 with a team option. Sorry- back to Arraez.

Is it too early to talk about Twins 2019 All Stars?
Polanco and Berrios seem locks to me. Possibly even starters. Depending on Garver's timeline, I could see him making it too.

Article: Who is the Face of the Minnesota Twins?
I think it's probably Buxton, nationally. Locally, I see Rosie and Berrios getting a lot of love. However, I do think Polanco and Kepler's stocks are rising though.
