    Truer words never spoken. So nice to see!

    This move should also energize the other Twins players...I bet they will have fun at camp today.

    You could knock me over with a feather!
  4. twinssporto
    I'm in! Looooooong time lurker here too...;)

    This is not a scary Story. I say get him in a Twins uniform!
  6. twinssporto
    PLAY BALL!!

    I tendered my sirloin steak last night (sirloin instead of ribeye because of inflation) with a meat cleaver. Does that work with arbitration eligible players too? Does it make them better players??? Things to think about...

    Trading him is crazy unless there his a huge return. Think Herschel Walker Vikings/Cowboys crazy.

    If that is the case about Lewis, ranking him as our best or second best prospect is depressing...Does Lewis project as a top 200 minor leaguer or top 300? We probably need to change or update the 2022 handbook.

    I think Miranda is the real deal. I hope they bring him up next year (like early April). Give this kid a shot! We don't have to jettison any decent players to get him into the "show"...Just get him into the action and see what happens. We need to quickly combine that core group of young players with the veterans in order to launch another WS team.

    Thanks for all the posts this year! Great job and very informative!
  12. twinssporto
    Totally agree. This isn't just a starting rotation issue its a bullpen issue as well. We need LOTS of arms....Lots and lots of arms.
  13. twinssporto
    I kind of agree with the above statement. Rooker is "rooking" hard to play his way out of this lineup. I love it when a minor leaguer like Miranda makes problems for the front office. Instead of joining the free Brittany movement, jump on the free Miranda bandwagon!

    Arraez is the real deal. Great instincts batting. There will be numerous batting titles.
  15. twinssporto
    All valid points but if we pay him $20 million a year to hit .247 and play in 80 games it's a huge mistake. We don't have enough money to pay him and sign other good athletes. I don't want to cheer Buxton for 80 games and be in the American League Central cellar 20 games behind by June 1st.

    Great write up! Thank you. Had to look up this word..."such as a significant stride and trebuchet arm action"... "Trebuchet" Excellent vocabulary Lucas! The Atlantic or ESPN doesn't have this type of talent!
  17. twinssporto
    Thanks Nick - great writeup. I think this kid will be a huge star. He just looks like he belongs in the big leagues.

    I'm probably more optimistic about 2022 and 2023 than the average fan. We know Garver, Kepler and Sano can hit at the major league level. Maybe it was just a fluke year. If those 3 can start hammering the ball again I think we will be in great shape with the new guys right behind them or playing beside them next year. Hopefully our starting rotation will roll as well with a few of these young arms getting called up.
  19. twinssporto
    Kepler or Sano should have made contact with the ball. Seriously, at least one of them should have made contact. Nope...Whiff! Time for a new hitting coach.
  20. twinssporto
    Trading him is nuts. It's a free lotto ticket. Let the kid play. We will get zero in return for trading him...ZERO!
  21. twinssporto
    Get them up here to start throwing for goodness sake.
  22. twinssporto
    Correct on all points. As I said in my post I listed the 3 exceptions (Sano, Buxton, Arraez). The others you listed are correct too. However, Kiriloff, Larnach and Jeffers are all apart of another age group. My point is timing. Take the 87 Twins as a simple example. Puckett, Hrbek, Gaetti, Brunansky, Viola, et al came up together. That was a strong core to grow and gel together. I thought the Twins had this going with Polanco, Kepler, Rosario, Buxton, Kyle Gibson, Sano but it seemed to die somewhere. Just an observation...
  23. twinssporto
    God speed Nellie! You were great to watch and cheer for. Go get yourself a ring!

    Signing Josh Donaldson isn't the problem. Most of us were excited when he came to Minnesota. Signing Nelson Cruz was one of the best FA signings I've ever seen the Twins do. They almost balance each other out. The problem I see is timing. Most of the teams that have won a World Series the last few decades (including the Twins) had a core group of young players that all came up together with a few decent veteran FA signings sprinkled in to supplement that core group of players. Our timing with our core group of young players never seems to be coordinated or timed out well. I think the Twins take entirely too long to bring some of these younger players up. (Buxton, Sano, Arraez the most recent exceptions). We need to develop the minor league teams better and get a solid core of great players moving through the system together. The Rays, Astros, Padres, Marlins, Royals, etc. have shown that model works well and is a lot cheaper than pinning your hopes on FA signings.

    Thanks for pulling this all together in one spot. One of the reasons I come to TD. Much appreciated.
