    I'd guess both of these guys will be on one year deals. Teams aren't taking chances anymore on older players that are trending downward. It's too bad for them, but both are gonna have to bite the bullet if they want to continue making major league money. I would take either or both. Overpay for one year if you think that does it. Never hurts to bring talent in. And if they flop, it's only for a year. DFA and be done with them if you have to.

    Exactly. The more things change, the more they stay the same. The medical staff for this club has to be the worst in professional sports.
  3. Battle ur tail off
    No it's not. It was either a lie to what really happened, or it has been treated by a 3rd world doctor. There isn't any cut you could make that would have a player out that long. Maybe he sliced his achilles tendon. That would make more sense. A cut on the heel though? Yah right.
  4. Battle ur tail off
    Buxton's approach has always been his problem, more than his mechanics. He generally has swung at bad pitches. Guessed alot of the time and gotten himself into bad counts and situations. If he can control the strike zone a little better, that is the key.

    I don't mind the signing. Versatile guy that can hit. He's good insurance for when Sano get hurt walking his dog or going out to get the mail. I still would rather have had the Twins spend real money on a difference maker, rather than bring in him, the pitcher from Texas, and the Angels pitcher. Use that money on one good guy instead of 3 marginal ones is my line of thinking.

    Your post here is great, but this comment about Rosario seems a little funny. It's almost as if you haven't watched games and just are typing this looking at numbers. Rosario has been the heart and soul of this offense the past 2 seasons. He's a fixture if I'm the GM.

    I'll bet it is too. And I will also bet he ends up being the second coming of Logan Morrison.
  8. Battle ur tail off
    I also think he might be a better defensive player than he is given credit for. I'd feel safe with him playing either corner infield spot and catching once or twice a week.
  9. Battle ur tail off
    Yep, he's casting a bit in the older ones and doesn't look like he has much weight transfer/lower body working for him. Looks much more strong/connected in the second video. Maybe the guy has it dialed in now and we are in for some consistent power?
  10. Battle ur tail off
    Also, what other kind of guy you want around to come in and pinch hit for you? He literally doesn't strike out and will put the ball in play almost every at bat.
  11. Battle ur tail off
    I just find a roster spot for this guy almost no matter what. I don't care if you have to start him at 1B or move him around and get him 3 days a week all over the diamond. This guy is a baseball player and has the kind of fire you want around your team. Plays the game HARD. I think he adds a win or 2 this season, just by being around the club.
  12. Battle ur tail off
    Maybe you aren't looking at the players you are choosing from here. All 3 are castoff players. My choice would have been to go with Sano at 1B and find a 3B. Could have tried to get Escobar back here to play there, or signed Josh Donaldson.

    You're right. But even an OPS around .750 ish. 5 mil a year seems like a deal for this type of production for a middle infielder.
  14. Battle ur tail off
    If they were smart, they might front load it though, or just pay him 5 mil per year. They have the money now, might as well use it. No sense in being cheap to him now and paying more later, it would make him much more tough to move if indeed that is something that has to be done later.
  15. Battle ur tail off
    If he OPS in the .800, for sure it is. 5 mill a year for a strong hitting middle infielder is fair.
  16. Battle ur tail off
    Do what you just did with any player and you can make them look good. If this guy didn't have this bad stretch, they would be great. Hope you are right though and he is just young and small.
  17. Battle ur tail off
    And this was probably the right play. Put Romero in there if you aren't going to sign the best FA pitcher out there. Put Romero in and buy or trade for the best bullpen piece you can get your hands on. Even using the large lefthanded kid in the rotation would have been preferable IMO. At the very worst, the guy shows he has a little something to the league and you can flip him packaged up for something decent. The league by now knows Perez isn't worth much.

    Just win baby and it would happen. When you suck 9 out of 10 years, you don't build a loyal fan base. Look at the Vikings. Yes, they have disappointed but have always been competitive and have had ownership groups and front office management that brought in the best they could. Their fans reward them for it.
  19. Battle ur tail off
    This is why you employ a scouting department. You have stats guys, baseball guys, guys that need to know how these FA's tick, their work ethic, etc. These guys are PAID to do this stuff. Do some research and scout them. That is how you do things smarter. Figure out, is signing a one year wonder like Logan Morrison worth it? Or could we fill in with someone in our system and get similar production? How about a 1 year contract to a pitcher that hasn't been any good - ever? Is he going to be better than what we have in house? Or is this just wasted money to look like we are out thinking everybody?
  20. Battle ur tail off
    And if that were enough to get him and that offer truly is out there, then he would have signed already. Don't let the reports about Twins offering money get to you. What they are offering is below market value, you can bet on that. They know there is a very slim chance he signs that type of contract, but by leaking that info - The "Hey! We tried!!" is still alive and well as per usual.
  21. Battle ur tail off
    It sounds as if they are so far over the luxury tax line, they don't want to push it much farther. I also think that playoff performance soured them some as well as others or he would have been signed already.
  22. Battle ur tail off
    Yah, cause they've done such a beautiful job of identifying and developing pitching prospects.

    If just Kiriloff does it, that would be a tough decision, but hard to turn down. We are talking about the best catcher in the game that is still young for a kid that is an extremely talented hitter, but is in A ball. He might turn into a stud major leaguer, but he also might not be a star at all, hell, he might not even make it to the major leagues. That said, if the team is up for trading Kiriloff, yes, I would shop him to the Mets or someone and bring in a #1 starter type first before I give him up for the catcher. That said, Kiriloffs value is huge right now. What happens if he has a bad season this year? Or he gets hurt? He could go from coveted prospect, to a guy no one wants all in one season. Hard decision...
  24. Battle ur tail off
    Those 4 won't flop because they are one year deals. The front office thinks they might flop because they are marginal players to start with. That is why he is talking like that IMO. He knows those 4 are scrap heapers and may be decent, or may be terrible.
  25. Battle ur tail off
    I like Polanco. He takes good at bats most of the time and has some pop in his bat. He can run, high energy type guy also. He's my SS until someone takes the job from him, at which point I move him over to 2B or something. Perfect 1-2 hitter. Gets on base at a pretty good clip and with his speed...
