    Exactly what I was thinking! After we invest heavily in our pen and at C, I will worry about 1B.

    That is too bad, definitely not the way any parent or kid wants a meeting to go. As a teenager we took a bus trip to the Dome through the American Legion. A few of us worked our way to the dugout area during warmup. He got done hitting and saw our group of 5. He went into the dugout and came back with an autographed bat, batting gloves, Twins towel, autographed hat and 5 bags of sunflower seeds. I was the biggest kid, so he gave me the bat and told me not use it as it had small crack in the wood. We were all kings for a day!

    See you later Banda, Ober and Trevor!

    Prices are not going to get cheaper and the floor that the owners want will make have the teams spend nearly a half a billion combined. Yes, the larger markets may drop some, though not nearly that much. I am of the opinion that small market teams never extend pitchers with injury history, so that eliminates Abel and Prielipp. If I am the GM, I am trying to lock up Lee, Keaschall and maybe Walker. Walker's nagging injuries and now a surgery, scare me a bit. The Twins need cost certainty and to try and maximize every dollar spent.

    In 6 bad starts he gave up 33 runs, so that is only 35 runs allowed in the other 16 starts. Give me 4 more of him please!
  6. HrbieFan
    Totally agree! Is he a superstar? No. Thought i believe he can be a valuable part of a winning team. If I am the GM, I am trying to buy him out of a year or two of FA and make him part of the cornerstone of the franchise with Walker

    Those Whip's are way too high! The cupboard is bare

    Poor move by our GM(s) to not get an AJ type package for him. If you want to live like the Brewers, Ray's and Guardians...you have to be responsible with your assets. Get Ryan healthy this move and flip him in the off-season
  9. HrbieFan
    How about injuries and our last GMs fire sale? Give this team a healthy Bux, Joe Ryan and Pablo, we are 7+ games over .500

    They couldn't move a proven bat in Larnach. Doubt Mendez would have brought back much more than a donkey. E-Rod is the one they need to see what he can do in the bigs
  11. HrbieFan
    Keaschall doesn't have an OF arm! He is serviceable in the OF. Love his bat potential and wish he could have mastered 2B
  12. HrbieFan
    Are there any rankings available for our DSL players?
  13. HrbieFan
    Anyone know what his defense is like? He has hit at every level and I don't need power, if he has the leather
  14. HrbieFan
    Hope Pepper starts working on his 3B skills. Houston is so much much better with the glove. He is the reason why the FO should have used Pepper as trade bait for a quality, controllable SP
  15. HrbieFan
    Shocked that Jeffers is still on the team! Do they spend on Jeffers to meet the new floor payroll that is proposed? Would 3 years $55 get it done?
  16. HrbieFan
    Is Mendez strictly a corner OF and DH? He looks like he could still add 30#s to his frame
  17. HrbieFan
    Exactly! That would be a step down from even Kreidler
  18. HrbieFan
    Good to know! He has exceptional talent and the games I saw him, he was dominant. Yanks would have to include another top 20 prospect and hope this is a fluke injury.
  19. HrbieFan
    Exactly where I am at. We all love Wallner's big bombs, but he has proven to have more holes in that swing than Swiss cheese. Why can't a reliable bat like Bell be our DH next year? I believe the Twins hold an option on his contract. Has Wallner cut down on his Ks or is he just taking advantage of bad AAA pitching?
  20. HrbieFan
    💯 It would irresponsible for the Twins to go after any rentals to appease the media jackels and ignorant fans. We are a power hitter, 2 SP and at least 3 RPs away from even winning a series. If I get to play GM, I am looking into Hunter Greene with his team friendly contract and RPs with at least 2 years of control. Could we use the assets we get from Ryan, Jeffers and whoever else we move to target Greene. Does Larnach have much value? I would assume we could get a much better prospect than we got for Bader last year
  21. HrbieFan
    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.
  22. HrbieFan
    Culpepper is one that I would dangle to the Angels in a Detmers package
  23. HrbieFan
    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.
  24. HrbieFan
    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.
  25. HrbieFan
    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.
