If they keep it up, you think it'd be worthwhile to pick up tickets for the season closing series at Kauffman? Or is that too late? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkolMasterMN Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 There's something very special about this team! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENINCH Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 (edited) This is the best team the Twins have ever put on the field. Including the 91 team that won 15 game in a row. Edited May 24, 2019 by TENINCH 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDBrocks Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 I love this team. I still think they need another starter and pen arm, but they have the bats to keep up with anyone. Best record in baseball, and a +92 run differential after 49 games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wcblack34 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 I suspect that there is going to be some regression in the power numbers sooner rather than later, but I've been thinking that for the last month...yet here we are! This is a blast to watch. I suspect we're going to see a large uptick in ticket sales and turnout come June. We're now 8 games up on Cleveland. That's a tough lead to blow.

I think with Berrios, Perez, and Odorizzi at the top of the rotation and Gibson and Pineda as your end of the rotation is solid, but getting another pen arm would be great. If the bats cool down, then starter might be a bigger deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adding a guy like Stroman would be huge for this year and next year, as Odorizzi, Gibson, and Pineda will all likely be gone. They don't really have anyone promising close enough to fill in right now or next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think the Twins might try and sign back one of those starters, I'd suspect that Gibson would be the most likely to resign. Stroman, I wonder how much he'd cost, but he'd be extremely tempting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stroman, I wonder how much he'd cost, but he'd be extremely tempting. Graterol is a 2020 September call up at the earliest. Stroman would also come with another year of arbitration, so they would have a little more time to work out something long term. The Twins were rumored to have interest in the off-season. Imagine a Berrios/Stroman/Odorizzi/Perez/Gibson rotation going into the post season this year, then an off-season where you look toward a future top three of Berrios/Stroman/Graterol after 2020.
