  1. We know Boras won't allow an extension, unless it is an overpay. So I am not bringing him up with the upcoming lockout. Jenkins needs to add more strength and stay healthy for longer than 20 games at a time.
  2. It isn't about the salary for me, it is the assets. I would be fine giving up a combo of Tait, Culpepper and E-Rod. Definitely not Jenkins, Houston, or any minor league pitching.
  3. Cute pipe dream! I believe Buck wants to stay a Twin for life and the Twins will make that happen. Extending Ryan is a disservice to the future of the Twins. The risk/reward just isn't worth it fir a franchise like MN. Ryan is looking at a $40m per contract, we can not afford that. Trade him for 2-3 top 10 prospects and can thus season.
  4. Ryan has pretty much said he will not extend and there might not be a season next year. Keeping Ryan is crazy IMO, even though I would love to keep him. Bell is a guy that I would offer a team friendly extension to. We need more professional hitters like him.
  5. With the proposed changes by the owners and the response by the MLBPA, I would put the chances of games in April at less than 20%.
  6. Consensus rankings was somewhere between 50 and 75, so not a huge overdraft IMO. If you love a guy and don't think he will last until your next pick, you take him early. Slot is around $2.3 for Tinney at 43. The #50 slot is $1.9, so I am hoping for a pre-draft deal around that # or less
  7. Love the shot in the dark! He has huge power, although there is a lot of swing and miss. To go this high, the Twin's brass believes he can hit, so let's give him 3 years. Wondering if there was a predraft agreement on an under slot contract
  8. Anyone familiar with what Preston Johnson brings to the mound? I know the Twins signed him out of indy league after Baltimore gave up on him. He looks like a workhorse on the mound at 6'4" and 250#s. Looks like the Twins are trying to stretch him out
  9. QO is said to be $23m plus, if there is a season next year. Lock in the assets in a trade and ride with Caritini and Jackson
  10. I remember multiple writers on here saying how irresponsible the signing of Caritini was because we already had Jackson. Both have worked out great and I am good with both of them being back next year.
  11. We have too many average bats in Minneapolis and St Paul. Fedko is an easy swap out right now for Roden. Jeffers should be called up shortly and they can't move Jackson without risk of losing him on wakvers and we will need him when Jeffers is traded in a few weeks.
  12. If you have trouble throwing strikes in St Paul, a promotion to the bigs isn't going to help.
  13. After seeing these boxscores the last month, we need to invest heavily in pitching in the upcoming draft! Outside of 1-2 arms, there isn't much to get excited about
