WGOM Draft

2020 WGOM Draft: Round 3

48 Comments

Remember, no need to draft a player at his primary position as long as he played the position you want him at for a reasonable time or could easily transition. Also, if you change your mind later you can move a guy to a different spot.

The board.

Half-Baked Hall: 1962

21 Comments

To no surprise, Joe Morgan and Jim Palmer breeze in with 100% of the vote and Amos Otis and Ken Singleton breeze out with 0% of the vote.

1962

Richie Ashburn

That's it. The next best player that retired in 1962 was former Senator Eddie "The Walkin' Man" Yost. I love his player page, but he ain't getting votes.

I'd also like to mention a pitcher with a Top 10 nickname in Vinegar Bend Mizell

Should Richie Ashburn make our hallowed halls?

  • Yes (81%, 13 Votes)
  • No (19%, 3 Votes)

2019 Trade Deadline

166 Comments

It’s been a while since Twins fans could look forward to the trade deadline with confidence the club was a full-on buyer, so it seems like we deserve a dedicated post to discuss rumors, share wish lists, and react to any deals the front office makes.

For convenience, here’s a hotlink to all MLBTR posts tagged for the Twins.

Bonus points to the Citizen who identifies the pitcher in this photo without cheating.
