  1. The union wants to stop teams from doing what the As are going to do IMO. I am shocked the union didn't get a floor salary # for every team.
  2. I'd do a one year deal with him, worst case he becomes a trade asset in 4 months
  3. No college pitchers in your top 8? Is it a weak year for them?
  4. How cerebral is Ryan on the mound? Does he know what happens if contact is made on a certain pitch? Does he set up his pitches? He seems to have a bulldog mentality on the mound and I love that in his makeup. I see his control of his fastball and think of Maddux painting the corners or inducing a pop up. Neither guy has much for gas, but you don't need it if you can paint.
  5. Not that he is horrible on the road, it is that he wants to paid on his Coors Field stats. Top 18-20 SS doesn't warrant $20m+ per with OK glove. Strong pass at that price. Now if it was 1 year around $10-12m, sure.
  6. Gordon did play some SS down the stretch and did fine. I'd rather roll him out vs some over the hill Simmons
  7. Strong pass! Look at his home/road splits. He is nothing away from the mile high city. 241 avg, 310 OBP, 442 SLG vs 303 avg, 369 OBP, 603 SLG
  8. I also would want to know the type of knee injury before making a decision. If he DJD in the knees, I don't extend him and move him if he has good value. If we can't get something of value, I keep him until the knees become a real issue
  9. Starting to get into some legit big league prospects. If the Twins don't make any moves and instead go with a 6 man rotation, Sands and Srotman are options. Though I see Strotman in the pen, unless his control is fixed.
  10. I like Steer, he has a loud bat. Needs to cut down his Ks a bit and continue the power. Not sure he sticks at SS, though I believe he can be a regular in the Bigs
  11. Arraez is one of my favorite current Twins, as I'm more of an on base guy vs slugging. Anyone know what his knee issues are? Is degenerative joint issues or is it that he has had ligament issues over the years.
  12. How he became a Twin really doesn't matter to me. That trade is looking like am A+++++ right now. I am just not excited about him as a prospect
  13. Loved watching Shane Mack play. There are a lot of good RP arms available this year, hope we hit the lottery
  14. True, but his lowest WHIP the past 4 years has been 1.42. He also regressed when he left the Rays pitching system last year. I am hopeful, but wouldn't put him in the top 10 of our SP prospects.
  15. I just don't see Strotzman as a big league SP option right now. His walk rate is just way to high for a MLB pitcher. Maybe the coaches can fix it, but I'm not betting on it
  16. Even if Dobnak can become an effective long innings guy out of the pen, it will be a win. If we roll with a bunch of young SPs next year, we are going to need a guy that can go multiple innings a few days a week.
  17. Those first 5 are less than exciting. I follow the minors quite a bit and had only heard of 2 of these guys
  18. Woods-Richardson is a big part of any future Twins success. Can they harness his potential? Do they cut down his repertoire to focus on his 3 best pitches? More importantly, can he stay healthy to allow the Twins to build up his arm to 120+IPs?
  19. Only if you getting someone like Mantas or better back in the deal that is controllable for multiple years
  20. Sign Big Mike, trade for Gray or Montas and find a reliable back end bullpen guy. I'm fine with Gordon at SS until Lewis is ready.
  21. Doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure out how the players proposals would hurt many markets. As a small market writer, the OP should at least have a clue. Players want to remove the soft cap, hurting small markets
  22. Have any of the owners taken a salary like Scherzer?
  23. Now please stay healthy Buxton! Very solid contract for both sides. Wish they were in on Gray before he signed with the Rangers for around $14m per.
  24. Is the $140M Canadian or US dollars?
