Bump....Correa.....nice.

If Gary Sanchez gets more at bats than Arraez......he just can't get more at bats than Arraez okay. 

If Luis is still here of course...

I don't think they are done yet. 

[SiouxScore]

Love the Correa signing even though it is basically a one year deal.

Need to make a move for one of those Oakland starters. Have some depth to deal from with Larnach, Sabato, Cavaco, Martin, Lewis, Wallner, etc as position players.

[Wilbur]

So the lineup....hmmm...truly a guess because you can't not have Arraez in. 

1. Buxton-CF

2. Arraez-LF (Listed as an infielder)

3. Polanco-2B

4. Correa-SS

5. Sano-1B

6. Sanchez-DH

7. Urshela-3B

8. Kepler-RF

9. Jeffers-C

What about Kiriloff?  What about Larnach?  What about Gordon or Royce?  Rooker?  I don't know.  How long will they watch Gary Sanchez not hit his weight?

Hopefully they can trade for Montas without giving up Lewis or Martin.

Chris Archer ya say?  Okay.  

1. Gray

2. Ryan

3. Ober

4. Bundy

5. Archer

Bully:  Rodgers, Duffy, Alcala, Smith, Thielbar, Stashak, Cotton, Smeltzer.

Not a world beating group by any means. 

[Wilbur]

Arraez killing the ball this spring, doesn't have the arm to play 3rd, so Urshela is the guy there, but he needs to play every day.  You can use him as a DH every day because Sanchez won't hit his weight.  

Any trade takers on Kepler?  Yeah, too late....

[Wilbur]

I understand trading Rooker.....but we just traded our best left handed relief pitcher for a guy with a 5 ERA.....

If they can fix him, then the Twins have a rotation that you go... okay, they could do something now.

If the Twins can tap into the potential that Paddack has then this is a fantastic trade for them. Losing Rogers hurts but he's in the final year of his contract, he's almost guaranteed heading to free agency to get paid, and he's coming off a pretty significant injury. Paddack has three more years of team control. Bring him in, get him back to his rookie year ability, and you have a legitimate starter for quite a while.

[Wilbur]

Leave Arraez on the bench.  Great call Rocco.  If he's not going to play trade him for someone that will help.

Sanchez with the first of many ofer days. 

[SiouxScore]

First save opportunity goes to Duffey and he promptly blows it. Only reason I can see for Duffey to get the first chance is just because he has been here longest which seems like a Rocco move.

By this rate Correa will be gone by August.

Alcala or Duran needs to be the guy to close out

[Wilbur]

You can't trade your closer with zero clue who your closer will be.  

And if we are such big percentage and numbers trusters then why is Duffy out there when he's blown 9 of 13 save opportunities in his career?

Year four of Rocco.  At some point he's got to be held accountable.

Rocco isn't the guy that traded the closer away on opening day. He has to deal with what the GM gives him. Seems only fair he should have a little bit of leeway to figure this out.

[Wilbur]

Buxton is just on fire.....

Please stay healthy.....

[SWSiouxMN]

If Duran is going to pitch like that, 

The Twins have their new closer.

This time of year is when you can come up with fun statistics;

1. Buxton is on pace to hit 121 HR's and drive in 162 RBI, which is good news because...

2. The Twins are undefeated when Buxton hits two or more HR's in a game, and they only win 33% of their games when Buxton hits fewer than 2 HR.

I can't with Rocco.  I just can't.

Welcome to Minnesota Mr. Paddack.  I'll give him the benefit of the doubt here because its the Dodgers.

They suck again. Dodgers come to Target and win both games

Rodgers with his 3rd save in three chances.

  

Will gladly eat crow if Paddack and Pagan become legends.....
