2022 Minnesota Twins

[fknhippie]

Nice to have baseball back, but I'm not very encouraged that the product the Twins will put on the field will be very competitive.

70 - 92, Starting pitching is gonna be real bad.

You sound optimistic.

When trading for Kiner-Falefa is your big off season move, well.....

Sonny! Gary Sanchez is garbage!

so basically, in a roundabout way, they traded Garver for Sanchez.... and still don't have a SS.

Correa?

 

[navamind]

I think they'll be better than 70-92. FWIW, FanGraphs projected standings has them at 79-83, which would be the 2nd best in the division. The Central outside of the White Sox is pretty bad.

Correa?

Nice call.

Sources: Correa, Twins agree to 3 years, $105.3M

Shortstop Carlos Correa and the Minnesota Twins are in agreement on a three-year, $105.3 million contract that includes opt-outs after the first two seasons, sources confirmed to ESPN's Jeff Passan.

Twins signed Chris Archer today.
To make room for him, they DFA'd Lewis Thorpe.

Interesting.

 

[VikingFan2k2]

87-75

Fringe Wild Card contender.

 

[VikingFan2k2]

Tough first game against a very tough pitcher.

I like the optimism! I hate that Kepler is still on this team and I still think we don't have the starters to compete, if they finish .500 I would be surprised. At least if Buxton stays healthy they will be worth watching.

 

[catman]

Joe Ryan pitched 6 very good innings today, but Buxton came up lame on a double. Hopefully, Buxton won't miss much time.

 

[fknhippie]

Silent bats.

Starting to dig themselves into that familiar hole that they never climb out of.

 

[catman]

Unfortunately, the bats have a tendency to grow quiet all at once, especially when pitchers are throwing well.

 

[fknhippie]

Nice pitching performance by Ryan last night, one hit through 7 innings.

 

[catman]

Ober didn't have his best stuff today, but the bullpen did a nice job, especially Jax. 7 in a row sounds pretty good, especially 6 in the division.
