I like this lineup. Reason to watch along with rodon

Yea here we are again. Wanna see Rodon, Trayce, Avi & Saladino dominate but let Webb give up the lead for a loss. Top ten pick would really help those in the Heyward camp.

Abreu cold lately...

 

He really has to learn to not just give away at bats.

 

A lot of talent and good concepts of hitting... but he also really is unsound mentally up there at times.

 

I really think he struggles with the schedule. RV needs to give him more off days IMO.

I think it's more likely we see Mark Buehrle in a Sox uniform next season than Heyward...not when some team out there's going to give him $140-180 million.

 

There's just no way we put all of our eggs in one basket when we have so many positions to cover.

 

You have to spread out that money, or allocate it more efficiently in economic terms. Other than Adam Eaton and Abreu, it's hard to argue any members of the current starting line-up are likely to around after the 2017 season.

By the way, let's hope the Twins don't put out a "Twins' Way" notebook on how they go about beating up Chris Sale pretty consistently.

 

 

Never would have thought Sano (coming off the injury) would be the one who delivered on all the hype and more compared to Buxton...but it just goes to show how much love there is for five-tool players and how often we end up disappointed when they fail to meet their projections. It's early though, for every 50 Cameron Maybins or Kenny Williams, Jr., there's usually one Trout or Harper.

I'm really not worried about Sale with the Twins. It's not like they owned him in the past. In 2013 the Indians kicked the s*** out of Sale (22 ER in 23 innings), but since then Sale has had ERAs of 2.18 and 1.80 against them the last two seasons.

He's made key pitches all night when he's needed to.

 

Watching him from the start of the season to now, he's made some BIG improvements. Excited for his future.

 

You can tell he's focusing more on command than velocity.
