    Until we know what the unique escalators were in that offer, I'm not complaining. Was it 7 years with potential for $120? $150? $200? Both sides need to be realistic if they want an agreement. Heck, Sano will make $14m next year, so no way it was less than that.

    No doubt! We have way too many guys that just swing for the fences

    You might get a low A guy with moderate upside trading him. Let Rooker play the next 65 games and get a real feel for how he has adjusted to MLB pitching. He is probably more of a 4A player, but we have the opening to see what he can do. Side note, sure hope there are a few studs available in the draft next year and this one year dip helps us long-term
  4. HrbieFan
    Wouldn't mind it if he is traded and Bux is locked up long-term

    Barnes has looked a lot more MLB worthy at St Paul than Jax. Aside from his AAA stint in 2019, he has progressed nicely. Twins need to use the balance of the season to figure out if we have anyone to pencil for next year(but we have all said that before).

    And Cleveland has came up with 2 bats in the past 10 years. Yes the Twins need to do better on developing and drafting pitchers, but it isn't all about throwing darts

    But, bighat that posts here says that Trevor isn't any good because he has a high SO ratio after 2 months in the majors. Sidenote to the site owners. These pop up ads while you are trying to type a reply is annoying AF! Can you offer a pay option to avoid this crap? No one pays attention to these ads or clicks on them on purpose. SMH

    Not going to go against the Royals recent draft record with pitchers. They are actually graduating some very good arms to the MLB team
  9. HrbieFan
    He is a rookie! If all things had gone normal this year, he would still be in St Paul. Judging a guy buy his first few months is never a good thing

    How about a new hitting coach!
  11. HrbieFan
    Donaldson is one of the few good hitters on the team. Yep, let's eat the money and get someone that will help win in 3 years, if we are lucky. SMH

    Wonder what we could get from the Dodgers with Bauer likely getting a long suspension? As for the deals above, I like the Jays and then the Mets best. Never deal with the devil and I'd prefer Berrios go to the NL
  13. HrbieFan
    Jose, Jose, Jose, Jose....I'm feeling hot hot hot!
  14. HrbieFan
    Outside of coming back from the injury, he has hit well every year. Hope he is ready for the AA challenge when the draft class is signed
  15. HrbieFan
    Arraez has too many MLB games under his belt to be considered a rookie. Larnach and Kirilloff do not.
  16. HrbieFan
    The guy can't stay healthy! How do you spend crazy money on a guy that you can't rely on? Let him get healthy and hope he doesn't tear a fingernail and trade him in the off season
  17. HrbieFan
    I don't have the numbers in front of me to compare, but I put Berrios and Wheeler in the same category. Wheeler got 5 years and $118m and the Twins were in it to the end(supposedly). With Berrios having been a healthy SP and many believe he has more in the tank, I would be willing to say that is a good and more than fair offer. As for Bux, no team is going to give a guy $20+m when he has proven he can't stay on the field. He is just one of those players that seems snake bitten. Maybe something along the lines of 5 years $70m with a lot of games played bonuses. If Bux plays 150 games, he is easily worth $25m per, if not $30+m. I just don't see the Twins being the team to take that big risk, although they did with with Donaldson.

    Winder and Miranda need to be in St Paul
  19. HrbieFan
    I'm not going to be that guy this year. This year has been a dumpster fire that no one saw coming. Before the year all of us and the national pundits had the Twins battling the White Sox for the Central. After the successful reclamation projects last year, we weren't concerned about the pitching staff. Colome has been a disaster! Happ started out great and now is throwing BP. Shoemaker was a 5 and fly guy on a good night last year and has regressed, let him be a an opener and go 4 innings. Pineda hasn't been healthy, Maeda has been a shell of what he was last year. Biggest dropoff the past 2 years has been the bats and it coincides with loosing our hitting coach. Kepler, Sano, Garver, Polanco, Donaldson all have disappointing numbers this year and most of them had horrible years last year. As for the front office and drafting, we are just starting to see their picks at the MLB level. Larnach, Jeffers, and Ober look like they have a future. Then you have prospects like Lewis, Enlow, Canterino, Sands that offer different levels of promise. Unfortunately it looks like this disaster of a year will bring an end to a few studs in Bux and Berrios. Unless the Twins are willing to overpay for them, I believe both will be on their way out before next season. Sure both will net some good prospects, but we need MLB pitching, not prospects.

    I am no MLB player, but mine was pain free and back to normal in about 3 weeks. Lesson for all, do not spar with a tree
  21. HrbieFan
    What do we gain by keeping Cruz at this point? Let him get a chance with a contender and let the team work towards a top 5 pick.
  22. HrbieFan
    100% agree! One thing to protect an arm from tossing 100+ pitches in 4 sloppy innings. This was 4 clean innings! Do they not trust him a third time through? He needs to learn because this year is lost. They let Happy stay out and toss batting practice for 6 innings, let the kid get the W
  23. HrbieFan
    Can we please get Cano and Moran in the majors tomorrow!
  24. HrbieFan
    4 HRs and 4 runs, just fricking sad! We so need Arraez back to get on base. Everyone else just tries to hit long balls
  25. HrbieFan
    At least we got a HR with guys on base! I am tired if this team not being able to manufacture runs or get on base for the big bats. Positive for the night was Jax coming in on back to back games. Is that smart for a guy that was a SP in the Minors and went on normal rest? I want to pay attention to this team, but they make it so hard. There is no fight in them and little to get excited about. Maybe we'll be back in 2023 ?
