    I too am very positive on Alcala. Just out of curiosity, why do you consider him "high risk"?
  2. sweetmusicviola16
    From a 2018 standpoint Perez was one of the absolute worst pitchers available. The same can be said from a career perspective. It hampers our team when with a bit more cash, or in some cases less even, we could have gotten someone better. As for our pitching prospects, we might as well cut them loose since they don't seem to warrant a chance that they are better than one of the very worst in baseball.

    Kyle is still trending upward however.
  4. sweetmusicviola16
    Yes to offering Gibson that, I'd even up it a couple of mil and have a 4th year option of some sort. Either a buyout or one that vests with starts or IP's.
  5. sweetmusicviola16
    and I was criticized in another thread for suggesting that those guys actually compete for the 5th spot this year. But now its OK for them to be our 3-5 next season and still no experience?
  6. sweetmusicviola16
    If this were part of the plan then 2020 and beyond would have no hope of us getting better either. Now if Kyle were replaced by a Gerrit Cole or a Zack Wheeler then we are making progress.
  7. sweetmusicviola16
    I've read many state that we could QO Gibson after this season if we can't sign him to an extension. This year the QO was 17.9mil. I would guess it will be even more next season. Why would we pay Kyle 18mil or more if we are hardly even willing to pay him fair market value?
  8. sweetmusicviola16
    And if the performance isn't there does that mean a 50 mil payroll in 2020?
  9. sweetmusicviola16
    I don't think Buxton extends coming off of a bad season and some ill will with the FO at this point. I believe Sano will walk and test the waters regardless. Rosario I'd like to see a 4 year deal. That would fix our costs and buy out his year 30 season, I wouldn't go further with him. Gibson, Yes, a 3 year with an option. W/o him we have a very thin rotation looking at next year. Berrios would be hard to guess. I'd guess he won't sign cheap. It would need to be an overpay of sorts.
  10. sweetmusicviola16
    Actually 3/39 compared to 2/32 is a huge gap. 18mil guaranteed. I've read and heard that the Twins offer was 2/26 though and no way was that competitive.If we really wanted Grandal, which I would have greatly supported, then we would have needed to do more than Milwaukee on the AAV or added a year. Your aren't going to get the kind of quality that Grandal is by lowballing however. tbh 13mil AAV was lowballing. I can imagine Falvine received a very quick click when they made that offer.
  11. sweetmusicviola16
    In the 2000's we were told "don't add better pieces because we are already good and winning divisions". 2011-2018 comes along and we are told that"since we are not good at this time and not in a position to compete don't add good pieces". Now 2019 comes along and we are told"that we need to see what our core has before we can add good pieces". There will forever be an excuse for this team not to add good to great pieces to our mix. The reason behind that excuse has been and remains that we are cheap.
  12. sweetmusicviola16
    But in hindsite I'm with a few others. Simple answer, should have upped the offer to Grandal rather than give up Kiriloff.
  13. sweetmusicviola16
    A deal headlined by Kiriloff? Nope, not this year. Not with only 2 seasons of control left. I've long wanted Realmuto, but not for Kiriloff. I'd deal Trevor Larnach as a headliner. Jorge Alcala as a 2nd piece and another low minors player. I hang onto Graterol also, or if he was included no Larnach and the 2nd piece would be less than Alcala. Marlins are overpricing realmuto imo. Similar to what Falvine did on Dozier a couple years back.
  14. sweetmusicviola16
    The Cubs just sign Brad Brach for 3mil. I guess we don't have that kind of payroll flexibility.
  15. sweetmusicviola16
    With the LAD signing AJ Pollock today that would likely take them out of the Harper Stakes I would think. One less competitor for somebody.
  16. sweetmusicviola16
    What about Keuchel? I actually liked him more than Corbin coming into the off season myself. I agree with extending Gibson. Perhaps they have had talks, I'd assume they have since they did avoid arb with him. So they can't agree on dollars and length likely. If I were Kyle I'd likely be rolling the dice on a bigger FA deal myself. But yeah, with one SP signed up for 2020 that is a huge issue in my books. That does not bode well with 2020 being competitive. Frankly I'd do everything to extend Gibson and sign Keuchel. With Berrios that would at least make the front of our rotation a strong point heading into next season. I'd also trash the budget and woo Kimbrel here. Forget about Machado, not that they already haven't.
  17. sweetmusicviola16
    It would certainly be nice to find out if we have any organizational depth.... Which we don't find out unless these guys see more use.
  18. sweetmusicviola16
    I could see Perez being here for awhile, even if he is his career abysmal self.
  19. sweetmusicviola16
    Drew Pomeranz signs with the Giants for 1.5mil guaranteed, that is the kind of deal and player I would support.
  20. sweetmusicviola16
    Comparing Buxton to both Harper and Machado puts it into perspective just how disappointing Buxton has been. Obviously he is not being written off anytime soon but his career compared to both of their's is pathetic to say the least.
  21. sweetmusicviola16
    Tony Oliva, HOF!!!!
  22. sweetmusicviola16
    Bonds will never get in the HOF, though he was the greatest player of his era. What he did on the field speaks for itself. Martinez is now a member of the HallofGood and that's OK. Since Mussina is in Schilling should soon follow.
  23. sweetmusicviola16
    Not another Tyler Duffey I hope?
  24. sweetmusicviola16
    According to LEN III the Twins are viewing Perez as an SP. This makes me dislike this even more. If we aren't going all in for 2019, and this signing implies greatly that we aren't, then this would be a great chance to put one of the youngsters in at #5 and see what they have. We have a half dozen prospects that need to be evaluated so we know if we have something or if we should be moving on. The next wave is soon in need of evaluation and we still have little clue on the present group. The only way this is a good sign is if Perez happens to have a career year and the Twins win the Central b/c of it. If they dog their way to a .500 or just over record with Perez at #5 it's a very bad signing.
  25. sweetmusicviola16
    I don't see Kohl making the team. He comes up if we have a couple of injuries or if someone else performs very badly. I'm liking this Perez signing less and less. We've got a half dozen guys that need evaluating and a chance and all of a sudden a bad Perez moves to the head of the class. The best chance the young guys may get is if we do use a couple of the rotation spots as stackers. Odorizzi stacked with Gonsalves Mejia stacked with Stewart
