    It's an interesting question and a good problem to have. Who has more long term value, Sano or Buxton? Asked another way, what car sitting in my garage will be more valuable in the future, the Porsche 911GT or Ferrari Testa Rossa? To be clear I don't own either and you can't compare ball players to cars but its just an example I thought of after reading the comments above. In my mind, long term means 5-10 years. I see Buxton being a huge impact player for the next 3-5 years. However, as he ages he's gonna lose a step or two in speed, etc. Long term I think Sano has the edge. He could be pounding out homers playing a DH or 1B role until he's 40 if he stays in good shape...A la Cruz, Ortiz, Thome, Bonds, etc, etc...

    I personally hope we start off with the Yankees. I think we will kick their #$@%! Let the long balls fly! I'll sleep well regardless of outcome. This will be so fun to watch (I may vomit a few times during the series but exciting it will be).

    I'm all in on Arraez. The kid is a gamer. He will be our starting 2nd baseman next year. It will be fun to watch how he does during the playoffs. I think he'll eat the Yankees pathetic pitching staff for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

    This news hurts but it's not going to put this team into a death spiral. The Twins do have other pitching options and those guys either step up or they don't. If I were one of the new pitchers that got called up I would look at this as my golden opportunity to be a hero and help win a World Series. It will be fun to see if anyone can step up and make something happen.

    Thank you. It's Labor Day and my mouth is mute. I meant moot. Spell checker agin... Sory!

    The pieces to this bullpen are coming together better than I expected and the timing couldn't be more perfect. I like the assortment of arms we have available for the playoff push. More than enough quality for shorter series during the playoffs. Nicely written article. Thank you Sabir.

    These are the type of games we need to keep winning to make the whole Cleveland thing mute before we even begin to play them again. Let's take it to Boston next!

    Let's go Gator! Throwin' heat!

    The push to the end has begun. I like our chances! Bring it Yankees! I'm betting on Minnesota!

    I'd also add Buxton and Sano. Both had horrible seasons last year but have come through beautifully. A number of us had written them off (Sano for me) but very impressive when they are on the field.

    Definately odd man out. I really like Schoop but Arraez is the real deal. I think this kid has a great future. Love watching him take at bats!

    Is Kevlar allowed in MLB? Maybe if he wore chain male(SP?) it would help. It might actually weigh him down enough to stop running at mach 5...

    Great article. My sister works for the Marlins and loved hanging out with him. He was a clubhouse favorite. She called me and said our fan base will really like him. Her prediction is already coming true. I'm going to forward her this article. Thanks for writing it!

    I'm not too worried about Dyson. He's got dominate stuff and should rebound. I'm enjoying the enthusiasm of Romo as well. That attitude will help us in October.
  15. twinssporto
    Nice comparison. I think we still have a bull pen problem to deal with but until that's fixed I'm gonna take your approach. I like baseball. Don't really like the roller coaster but will keep taking my high blood pressure meds...

    A few take aways after watching the highlight reels and Rocco's interview: 1. This lineup is so crazy good. I'm literally speechless on how dangerous they really are. They all look so confidant and sure of themselves. The "mojo" they are displaying on a daily basis is impressive. I think these guys are seriously playing a game that says, if I don't hit, no bother, my brother, the guy behind me will hit it. Good luck pitching around somebody. If I was a pitcher facing our full lineup I'd be like...Fudge! Hopefully I get out of here with 5 runs or less. We've managed to decimate most of the Cy Young guys this year anyways. 2. Rocco looks like he might have hit his stride too. He looks as relaxed as an Exlax pill. When we are at full strength I will take this lineup over any Astro or Yankee team all day long. 3. Yes, I know our bullpen can use some support and maybe our starting pitching too but if nothing changed, I'll take the odds this team goes the distance in October...As Jack Morris famously said, "In the immortal words of Marvin Gaye, Let's get it on". Tom - Thanks again for another great recap. Much appreciated!!!

    Move along...Nothing to see here.

    Stu - in light of our Twins overwhelming performance this year, you need to write at least 2 or 3 blogs a week. I love these. It's inspiring! By the way, the only thing Tanner is missing is a few pots of black coffee brewing in the background to go with the cigs.

    This article needs to find its way into Falvey's email somehow...Hilarious. Thank you.

    I raise my hand. I think the Twins can make it a 100 win season almost every year. I'm so deep down this rabbit hole I'm looking for an in-patient treatment program. By the way, Betty Ford quit taking Twins fans back in 2015.
  21. twinssporto
    That last Yankee game in the pouring rain wasn't a real good indicator either. I think they can pound the Yankees when the time comes. They should have won that one against the Phillies too. It was a strange game all the way around.

    Offensively this is the best Twins team I've ever seen. That doesn't necessarly correlate to a WS championship but it sure as hell makes them more fun to watch. I'm not an actuary but I'd also assume their chances of going deep into the playoffs this year are a lot better than 25+ teams in the league now.

    Quick update from the BWCA...we just had a group of paddlers go by our camp. They asked if we had any beer to spare. I said, “not tonight, just bourbon”. They said thanks but “we’ll keep moving along”. Just as they passed by, the guy in the last canoe turned and hollered, “do you know how the Twins did today”? I yelled back, “hell yes!...They won again”! Quit asking stupid questions”! Figures....beer drinkers versus bourbon drinkers. They let anyone into this place...Gotta go back to tending the fire now.

    It’s our last night in the BWCA woods. Listening to the game again in the boat today. Caught a bunch of fish...frying up some fresh walleye tonight for dinner. Will pour some more bourbon, thank the good Lord for our bounty and the WELY “end of the road” radio station. I’m half tempted to stay up here until the winning streak ends. Don’t want to jinx anything. Guess I’ll stay in the woods til October. Please send donations to PO Box: 1987-1991 Ely, MN 55114 Go Twins and cheers from somewhere near the Canadian border.

    I always knew this team was going to be great this year. I bet $1500 on the Twins to win ALCS back in December. Begged and pleaded for Perez signing and Cruz. Screamed for an extension for Kepler and Polanco...drafted Buxton, Odorizzi and Garver for fantasy league. Foresaw Rocco playing the shift in ways only actuaries could understand. Sorry...got lost in the camp fire. I might need to slow down on the bourbon...Loons won’t stop screaming. Camp finally dried out. Twins won too. Ecstasy!
