    I actually like getting Maeda. I don't like the price being Graterol. I agree that getting a controllable SP is going to come at a steep price. But imo that price should have come out of our surplus, ie Kiriloff, Larnach, Lewis etc. Trading away a Graterol who can fling the ball at 100mph plus is a hard pill to swallow. It really doesn't even matter if Brusdar is only good for 60-70 IP for season. We needed pitching yes. But giving up pitching when you had a surplus elsewhere is a poor move. Graterol is just as much of a win now player as Maeda is imo. I'm neutral on this deal at this point.

    If I understand the deal that the recently signed Chacon got from us his is an milb with a guarantee of 1.6 mil. He gets another 1.9 mil if he actually makes the team. It seems that this would be a fair deal to offer Walker as well. A small money risk for a potential high reward.
  3. sweetmusicviola16
    392.2 IP in 18-19. That's good for 8th in the AL both seasons. Top 10 in 2019 in ERA, ERA+ and FIP. What's he supposed to do? Some team will be happy to call him their Ace in 2023 and pay him 30mil plus.
  4. sweetmusicviola16
    This is the best offer listed in this article so far. But tbh if Berrios were an FA this off season you couldn't sniff him for this price. Wheeler got 5/118. This is the kind of deal Berrios would get as an FA. Easily. Granted he's not going to get 24 mil per season for the next 3 arb campaigns. But on the other hand he's not going to sign away his first 2 prime FA seasons away cheaply either. That's what's being suggested when people throw out 5/60 contracts. Should he continue to progress as he has every season in his career thus far he should make around 30mil plus through the arb process. He then becomes an FA a year younger then Wheeler was when he hit the open market. IF Berrios stays healthy he has some huge paydays ahead of him.
  5. sweetmusicviola16
    Exactly. But my bet is he's far closer to his 2017-18 self than his 2019. One thing that stands out to me from last season is he was killed by the HR, he gave up a career high. A tweek or two and we could have a very solid addition to our team. Good sign. If not he is easily sent packing and we fall back to Dobnak/Smeltzer/Thorpe.
  6. sweetmusicviola16
    I beg to differ with Seth. I think Chacin has some good upside. This is just an milb signing, and a good one. Better sign than Hill and Bailey imo.
  7. sweetmusicviola16
    March 14 1994 Webster was traded to Montreal as part of a conditional deal. I wonder if that deal was ever fulfilled. If not maybe we could get Lenny back. Except for the Expos are no longer.
  8. sweetmusicviola16
    I might swap Rosario and Garver in his lineup too. Crazy good lineup for sure.
  9. sweetmusicviola16
    Wow! In my opinon this is a mistake, but Wow!

    I'm for this. Let Crane pay his players for nothing. What a crook. Won't happen of course.
  11. sweetmusicviola16
    Crane also knew darn well what was going on too. What a farce. Reap millions with a WS and get a slap on the wrist. An organization that turns a blind eye and Hinch gets to fall on the sword.
  12. sweetmusicviola16
    And I don't get a union that will tolerate this. Beltran is guilty and gets nothing because the players union will resist punishment? What a crock. Hang Beltrans *** out to dry. Now he's a manager. Kick him out. No to him and others who are cheating for HOF either. This imo is as bad as Rose. Honestly, worse.
  13. sweetmusicviola16
    So Beltran and other players who participated will not be punished. Boston, other than Cora, nothing. Crane's Asstros lose 4 draft picks and 5 mil. That's an easy incentive to cheat. This destroys the integrity of the game. Personally this could signal my walking away from this game.
  14. sweetmusicviola16
    What responsibility does Crane have in this cheating? If suspending him were possible I'd suggest doing so. Can't tell me he didn't know, and approve. Who benefited more than him?
  15. sweetmusicviola16
    These suspensions are genuinely good news. Harsh enough? idk. What more can they do? Put an asterisk by the WS title?

    1984 was actually a fun season until the final week. The Twins were neck and neck in the old AL West with KC. I believe we were 81-75 and the teams were tied. The Twins however were swept by lowly Cleveland, including a game that we led 9-0 as I recall and ended up losing 10-9. Then with all wind out of our sails we got swept by KC in the last series. But 1984, they year that Hrbek, Brunansky, Gaetti and Viola matured into legit ML ball players. It was also the rookie year of a guy from Chicago named Kirby Puckett. Cal Griffith. I will always remember him fondly for the most part. He could no longer afford an ML team and had to rid players as they progressed in the game to to lack of funds. But had he not sold the likes of Smalley, Wynegar, Ward, Landreaux, Erickson off we may well have never had 87 and 91 as WS champs. It was the return he got for the players in his firesale that made up the core that will forever be in Twins lore. Calvin and those he hired did have an astute eye for young talent.

    Or enjoy today's North Dakota State FCS title. Final today: NDSU 28 James Madison 20. This marks NDSU's 8th title in 9 seasons. Today's win was their 37th in a row. A true Dynasty in our backyard. I'm a lifelong, 52 years young, Twins fan and I think this off season leaves something to be desired too. But I can find plenty of other resons for joy in life though. A big hooray for the Sano signing too. Great value, and since we aren't into big FA deals it's nice to keep a potential beast in Miguel. BOSOX won't get Big Pappy2 anytime soon.
  18. sweetmusicviola16
    Exactly. Cruz and Gonzalez come off the books after 2020 and Donaldson's contract would replace their money essentially. Save the prospects and sign JD if you insist on getting a 3B other than Sano.
  19. sweetmusicviola16
    Trevor Hildenberger signs an milb with the BoSox. Invite to major league camp as well.
  20. sweetmusicviola16
    Sano with his now 4 year deal in hand has now vaulted up this list. I'd put him in a tie for 3rd with Polanco right behind Berrios and Kepler. With his ability to dominate a game with his bat it could even be argued that he's now our #1 asset. Pitchers don't fear either Kepler or Polanco. I believe they do when it comes to Sano. Great extension by Falvey.
  21. sweetmusicviola16
    Why is it that the player is somehow bad that he wants to get optimal value for his services rendered?
  22. sweetmusicviola16
    My thinking as well. Makes me very optimistic that they won't go to the arb hearing and that a 4 or 5 year extension is doable.
  23. sweetmusicviola16
    Righteous indignation. Really. So I guess only the opinion that Clippard, Avilla and Romo are "impact" is a right one then.
  24. sweetmusicviola16
    I would likely switch Polanco and Berrios in the rankings. If trade values is what is driving these rankings I'd find it hard to believe that anyone would have a higher value than Jose Berrios with the high demand for front end SP.
  25. sweetmusicviola16
    You'll get .75 after this gets turned into a class action and the rest of us get our share!!
