I agree with Ober to the pen instead of trying to push up his innings limit. Let’s see what he throws when he’s only got to do an inning or two. Probably more fastball velocity, and maybe he lasts an entire season.

Lots of guys at Serum’s this afternoon are going to mad about this article.

I also find this signing to be less than ideal.

Yeah, but like, zero throwing errors from the shortstop position.

If this is adding a guy to back up 2 or 3 positions in the infield, it’s a good trade and I like it. If it’s a trade for a guy to start somewhere all season…oofda. (I think it’s option 1)

Does this mean Miranda is the full time 3B now? Or Arraez? Heck, if they sign a SS, is Lewis going to 3B? Urshela was solid, but not solid enough to hold other people back. You can get similar production from someone younger and cheaper.

My wife is giving me $20 to spend on parking at the SCSU women’s hockey game. I’m pretty sure that it’s free. If Carlos accepts, I’m willing to act like the parking really did cost $20, and give him the money. I’ll risk it. I’ve been in trouble before.

Thanks to everyone at Twins Daily for the reports all season. It’s a nice way to be familiar with people when they eventually make it to the Twins. Also, my wife would karate chop me in the larynx if I got milb.tv. Watching more baseball, and with granier picture, probably wouldn’t pass

Absolutely should be up. What do they have to lose?

$20 is just way too much. $10 is pretty much the sweet spot, and that’s after adding the Twins. There’s just nothing on there worth watching besides Twins and Wild games (for me). No point in cancelling cable and getting 10 different streaming services that add up to the same price as cable. I used PS Vue and Sling, but it cost too much for limited content.

I want to like this more than once.

Credit to both him and the Twins. The Twins are smart to platoon him like they do, and his effort and ability to make himself an option at multiple positions has been impressive. He made himself from a guy that might not make it, to a guy that’ll be in the league still in 5-7 years.

People are hustling to call “no dibs” on the minor league report writing the next couple days.

They’ve definitely upgraded their pitching today, which is nice to see.

Hate to give up such solid prospects, but you can’t get decent pitchers for free. Miranda doing so well helps, too. Hopefully it pays off. Also, the rotation for next year is lining up to be pretty solid.

I think he’s great for what his role is as a utility fielder. If you can get 3 or 4 years out of him in this role, that’s really solid. Obviously not ideal for a 5th overall pick, but you could do worse than what you’re getting out of him. I don’t think he ever takes anyones starting spot, but he’s going to get in a lot of games at a lot of spots going forward.

Well…****.

It was a dump, but I have so many memories of going to games there that I can’t look at it any other way than fondly. All those days in high school and college when we sat in the cheap seats and had a great time.

Edit: Bryan made me double post and I don’t know how to fix it.

F’ing Bryan.

Got one guy signed:

What you do is you tell Kepler and Rosario "Hey, if you see Byron going full speed towards that fence, you tackle him. That tackle will be better than him hitting the fence."

Killebrew is 39 years old in that picture? You could have told me that he's in his 50's, and I wouldn't have asked questions.

I work in a small office, and we'll be staying open. That'll be interesting. We work with a lot of doctors offices (dentists and pediatricians), and they are doing their best to get the message about how they keep their offices clean, and what to do if you're feeling sick. My oldest daughter's school is on spring break, and it sounds like they'll be back on Monday. That one makes me a little nervous, since they only have spring break every other year, so a lot of people head out of town on trips. Hopefully nobody brings anything back. My wife is also a teacher, but they haven't had spring break yet. They're also trying to figure out what to do to prevent everyone from getting sick. These are the types of things nobody plans for, and when you talk about them in meetings, it's when 75% space out, because "that's not gonna happen". Welp...it's happening (and not in the fun Twins way).

I think it's a little early for him to get cut, but I think missing that camp time didn't help his cause. I agree that he'd definitely get some opportunities this summer, but going on Twitter and being pissed about it rarely is a useful way to go about it. Doesn't make them move you up faster, and rarely makes them trade you faster, since you won't bring back as much right away.
