Twins 2020 Off-season Thread

WE GOT HIM

I actually like the pickup. Other then his ERA he seemed solid. Looks like a good bullpen pickup.

Also Royce Lewis was AFL MVP - Impressive

NOTE: Leave his leg kick alone.

Who's on first?

Do you bring Cron back?
Do you move Graver to primarily to first?
Do you move Sano to first?

I think they bring back Cron because he will be a short term fairly low cost guy. He basically followed up his career year with the Rays with a pretty similar year in 2019 playing a significant chunk of the season with that bad thumb.

So here is something fun. Robbie Grossman was a runner up to Alex Gordon for a gold glove in Left field...that came out of...

Berrios was a runner up for a gold glove at pitcher.

Okay so I had to look Monster cause I didn't believe you. This is preposterous for one Robbie grossman. I will say he only played 103 games there so come on people voting. But he did finish with a uzr raiding of 4.2 over double what his final year for the twins was, but this could be because he didn't make a error all year and and played less games less sample size. Buxton has UZR of high 5s usually. UZR Ultimate Zone Rating basically accounts for everything on defense including your range.

Odorizzi gets QO
Perez gets BO
Gonsalves and Stewart get taken off 40 man roster
Gonsalves signs with Mets
Stewart is a FA

I think what bothers me the most which you brought up is he wasn't really a full time player. I wouldn't call him a part time player either but yeah that part is weird. Good for Robbie I guess maybe Jake Cave can improve too. Lol
