    Yes

    PERFORMANCE BASED PAY .. Well, there's an idea. Why doesn't every player get paid based on performance? Give everyone a base salary and pay them on performance based on everyone else. Naw, that would make too much sense ..

    And as one fan since 61 to another, Bob. Our time is running out to win another WS .. 🤗 Although, my first preference would be a Vikings SB ..

    These are supposed to be out with the old and in with the new. I'd leave Correa and Buxton out ..

    Son he battles it out for the 5th slot and if he gets beat out but we like him, maybe long reliever?
  6. saviking
    Please, please, please trade him. We have enough young, promising infielders to fill in the gap, especially if we can get 2 or 3 hot prospects to boot. Losing that 36 mills will go a long way towards regaining equilibrium of our payroll.

    Thanks for such a detailed and well-written article. Now I feel up to speed. Wes Clarke makes a lot of sense. I love his power profile. Crim is interesting but can't get past the fact he is only five-ten. There are a couple of intriguing pitchers for our bullpen, even if they are starters. That doesn't mean they can't compete for a starter's role down the line, but we do not need another starter at this time. Boy, do we need a power-hitting first baseman

    I asked for a gold watch, and they give me trinkets.

    And the Twins almost gave up on Laurnach not giving him the opportunity until the last second.
  10. saviking
    We are loaded with starting pitchers and he's is our best closer. Why the heck would we do that?

    As for power. The kid is only 19 years old. let the power come naturally. Don't alter his swing to create more.

    The only thing redundant on the roster is the injuries ... Good one. Well, actually, it's not funny, but some things you just have to laugh at. As for the first base comment, I've been saying Wallner would make an altar first baseman someday and solve a position of need. That is, if he could develop into a quality defender, I believe he would be fully capable of doing so. Think, mini Justin Mornoe with more power.

    These are the guys that keep you under the salary ) self-imposed_ limit.

    I'm disappointed we didn't protect Richardo Olivar, but maybe he's young enough that no one will want to put him on their 25-man roster yet. The question is, will we pick someone
  15. saviking
    We have fewer players not on the list that would be at risk of being lost to rule 5 than slots available. It's a non issue this year ..

    I'm not saying I agree with all of it, but it's for being well thought out. Good job
  17. saviking
    How good is his knuckleball in terms of swings and misses, and hits? Does it come out of the same slot angle disguised as a fastball? I'm just thinking about Santana's slider. That one pitch made him great. Can Lewis' knuckleball do the same for him?
  18. saviking
    I whole heartedly agree!

    There is no way I would trade Lopes over Correa and Buxton. He plays full seasons, while Correa and Buxton play partial seasons. But there is no way anyone would trade for Correa, and at least Buxton's salary is based on playing time. In honesty, I would trade Correa for a low-A minor league to get rid of his salary. But even then, I don't think you would find any takers.

    Exactly! When I first saw these articles I assumed he was predicting the core players to build the next years around. Persoanlly I'd be willing to be patient and do a full Detroit style rebuild and jettison any player making 10 million a year or more for young talent. But that's just me.
  21. saviking
    I wonder if Wallner or Larnach have any history at 1b .. If able to field well at first, I think Wallner is a prototypical first baseman. Big target, big bat ..
  22. saviking
    Nice to see a right handed bat that plays outfield.
  23. saviking
    Kala'i is the only one of the group I would have ever thought woukd wind up in Arizona this year ..
  24. saviking
    If they hadn't signed Correa they would have an extra 36 million to spend.
  25. saviking
    Agreed. I've been saying a small market team can't pay that much for a single player unless they can hit over 50 homeruns and knock in 120 runs a year, AND needs to be able to stay reasonably healthy. We've had a few great streaks from Correa but two long horrible starts to 2 seasons and missed a boatload of games. Signing him was a risk and resigning him was worse.
