    How many American born players get a 3 year deal of $12 Million right out the chute to play in the bigs? ZERO! And Thanks for the geography lesson. Maybe the right player to call out would have been Nishioki from JAPAN! He worked out real well didn't he. I'm pretty sure the intention was to refer to the international market in the area of Korea and Japan. Wonder why the guys in America that can't make it in MLB go over there to play? Because the competition isn't at the same level as here in the Majors. DUH! So why give any money away to a superstar from over there. He'll more than likely just be average here if he's really that good, or he'll just be another Park or Nishioki.

    Has Vargas really gotten the chance to prove himself full-time? No! Kinda hard for some players to get in a groove when you only get to play twice a week. I think he deserves a shot to be the full-time DH slash 1B backup. For the money, he's a good candidate verses an expensive Free Agent. Let's give him one "last" or should I say his "first" true shot at being a full-time player even if it is at DH.

    Escobar had 6 errors in 79 games at 3B, Frazier had 13 in 133 games, very comparable. Maybe Escobar's range isn't quite as good but Frazier isn't getting any younger so his range will continue to deteriorate.

    Not sure why anyone thinks Frazier would be a good acquisition. Just because he can play 3B if Sano can't is a poor reason. Escobar proved he is more than capable of filling in. In fact, in 2017 Escobar almost matched Frazier in Home Runs per AB, hit 40 points higher than Frazier, is just as capable defensively, is younger, and cheaper. As for Santana, why would the Indians let him go, especially to a division rival, and on top of that he isn't going to replace the Golden Boy at 1st or at DH. If Sano can't play 3B then you got too many bats vying for the 1B/DH spot. Bautista at this point would be another dumpster dive as his BA and HR stats have declined the last 3 years. He's toast. Better to spend money elsewhere.

    Just hire Torii to be a coach and let's pass on all the crusty worn out veterans that will only take roster spots away from the young guys. I thought when Ryan left, this organization would quit dumpster diving for worthless players. Colon proved otherwise. Let's hope that is the end of it.

    CC Sabathia would never pitch for the Twins, he hates the Twins.

    He's good at throwing young players under the bus. I fully expect their #3 catcher to be playing in the outfield. And there will be no pressure on him to do well in the playoffs since the Tiggers are in full rebuild mode.

    Give him what he wants. Most productive hitter in the lineup the last 2 years. Need to keep a leader and veteran in the dugout for all of the youngsters they have now. If Mauer is worth $23M Dozier is worth just as much or more.
