Twins Off Season Commentary

[powerchord86]

Well this should create a few extra headaches for Twins pitchers this summer. As if they needed any more...

Anyone planing to head out to Twins Caravan or Twinsfest?

Caravan stops here on the 19th so gonna check it out. Usually do every year.

I am definitely getting antsy for some baseball...

I've never even considered it, or looked into it, but my interest is piqued.

Not sure where you are but here is a link for the schedule listing the stops and who will be there..

Twins Winter Caravan 2016

I'm at the route 1 Fargo stop so it looks like I'll be hanging with Trevor May, Tyler Duffey, Tony Oliva, Rob Antony and Cory Provus.

I think I like the route 2 lineup a little better though.. (Paul Molitor, Byron Buxton, Casey Fien and Dick Bremer)

I'd go to either the St. Paul or Minneapolis.

Minnesota Twins Rumors - MLB Trade Rumors


I thought Milone was alright last year. I'm glad to keep him around.

More importantly

Because he was held down for much of last season, Sano is still controllable through 2021 and does not project to qualify for Super Two status. That means he won’t even be arb-eligible until 2019, though if he continues to drive the ball as he has then he could get expensive very quickly once he reaches eligibility.

Thinking we Should update the banner. Maybe this...

Or this...

I like the idea, but those are a little too busy. If there was something to be done, I'd want it to include Puckett, along with a couple others. And maybe an image of Ron Gant falling off 1st base.

 

[powerchord86]

I'm just tired of looking at the old Metrodome banner at the top. Thought the new field might be cool.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Teams all around us making moves and we stand pat. Resign fucking Milone? What a joke. We're all already blocking our young talent with massive contracts.

A rotation with Duffey, Berrios and May was already Impossible.

He better be in the pen.

 

[powerchord86]

Or we could go something more like this route...

Appears as though the Twins are going to stand pat with the bullpen, pinning hopes on the young guys they have in the minors that they are claiming to be ready. Biggest move was avoiding arbitration with Jepsen.

Twins, RHP Jepsen agree at $5,312,500


Hopefully they got some lefthanders down there that are ready to bridge between the 5th and 9th innings.

I was waiting to see another lefty come in for the pen as well. Apparently he must be in the minors. Or at least I hope so!

 

[powerchord86]

Sounds like Plouffe will be sticking around for now as well..

Twins, 3B Plouffe agree to $7.25 million deal

According to what I read, they have a couple that were drafted in 2012 (without looking up minor league rosters), that throw 95-99... we'll see...

kind of a "meh" move... just bought out his arbitration.
