    3/45 for Kimbrell? That's not a deal, that's a steal. Do it. Give him an extra mil or two in 2019 and let him opt out after the season. We have the money for 2019, not to mention about 70mil coming off the books after this season. If this team won't spend the money on a Kimbrell now then it never will.

    Nice to see Drew Butera get a job, for someone other than the Twins.

    One problem I have with Wade is he did not really prove himself at AAA Rochester. His performance was quite Gordonesque tbh. A problem I have with Cave were the K's. 102 in his 309 PA's is very high. OBP was nothing to write home about either. Granite also with an awful 2018 in AAA. Michael Reed has done little to show that he can be depended on in ML either. I would love to see Astudillo on the roster, I personally favor him over Austin, but I believe his having an option remaining will be his downfall. Please FO Keep Willians. His desire for the game and his personality are things that can't be measured by the analytics. But he has shown he has the talent to compete at the ML level.

    I saw a recent interview with Pineda. He says hes fully healthy. To me he looks out of shape, very heavy. tbh I doubt he holds up. When he goes down is what remains to be seen. But as far as the OD squad looks, I'd switch out Mejia for either Vazquez or Gonsalves. The lineup looks right on.

    I would think Austin will not be the primary backup OF. He does have extensive experience in RF in the minors for NYY. In view of that I expect him to make the team as the 1B against lefties and as an emergency/fill in OF.

    The Vikings do own 1 NFL Championship:) Hope that makes us feel better too.
  7. sweetmusicviola16
    I honestly don't think there is a contest in regard to the 4th OF at all. It is Cave. The only contest that I see in regard to the position players, barring any injuries, is whether we carry 12 players or 13. If we carry 13 then that last one will be Austin. If we carry 13 pitchers, and I for one hope not, then Austin is cut. I think the biggest place of competition is those last couple of spots in the Pen.

    Nolan Ryan had a great fastball grunt as well. GL Luke.

    I heard those same reports/rumors also. Based on what Pittsburgh got from Houston I tend to believe that the reports were pretty credible.
  10. sweetmusicviola16
    Thanks guys. I was thinking the same that it is just a Rochester depth move, and maybe just another catcher for ST as he also received an invite in his deal.

    Twins have signed C/1B Wilin Rosario. He's been in Japan for a couple seasons. He formerly posted some nice numbers in Colorado. What does anyone know or remember about his game?
  12. sweetmusicviola16
    Point is its getting about time to stop looking at ourselves as sellers every year. As far as what it takes to snag a player like Arenado in July I'm not so sure the price is as high as you think. This season the LAD got an expiring Machado for 1 top 100 prospect and 4 wild cards. Hats off to the LAD, they used their farm for what its intended for.
  13. sweetmusicviola16
    Not me. For once in my lifetime I'd like my team, the Twins, to be buyers at the trade deadline because we are shooting for a higher goal than dumping vets to add prospects. This mid-July I'd like to see us trade for Arenado for instance, headlined by Graterol and Rooker and whoever else it takes. Then see us immediately sign Nolan to a 7/245 mil deal. And in late Oct be celebrating the WS due in large part to this deal. Isn't that a big reason for having a farm?
  14. sweetmusicviola16
    May 22, 2018. I believe this is going to be remembered in the end as when Nick Gordon turned his career around. Everything that I have heard from Nick suggests that he now knows the hard work he will need to put in to fulfill the hype.
  15. sweetmusicviola16
    Yes. I like Gonsalves and Gordon. I think very highly of Rortvedt and Severino. But I'm sick of this organizational philosophy of sitting on these prospects until their fire has been completely snuffed out. What's worse to me is year after year we are told how good our prospects are. Yet year after year we are signing so-so FA's to play at Target. This OD could see as many as 8 first year FA's suiting up again. I'm tired of being sold the hope of our farm system and it not being utilized. End of rant. Thanks all for the rankings. It's great reads.
  16. sweetmusicviola16
    Yes it was a mutual settlement. Rox offered 24mil, Arenado asked for 30mil. I guess the team "won" the settlement. Wow indeed.
  17. sweetmusicviola16
    Nolan Arenado with a record 26 mil arb settlement.
  18. sweetmusicviola16
    Littell is the one guy imo who isn't in the top20. That's not to say that he is disregarded as a prospect but that others have passed him by in intrigue and potential.
  19. sweetmusicviola16
    Right now the replacement for Pressley would be Blake Parker. Parker is not even close to the pitcher that Pressley is. Again, no excuse for not having taken advantage of this seasons RP market. Parker would have been a fine 3rd piece to add, but not our top add up until now.
  20. sweetmusicviola16
    We don't add good players because we don't know if we are going to be good or not. If we find the answer to that question is we actually were good then we don't add because the price that the other team wants is too high. Or we don't know if that player will make us that much better. We are only given excuse after excuse for reasons why not to get better. The sad part is many fans are willing to accept those excuses as valid and not hold the org accountable and give it a free pass time after time.
  21. sweetmusicviola16
    steamer projected Yu to throw 179 IP in '18 with a 3.81 ERA too.
  22. sweetmusicviola16
    I'm honestly OK when a team cashes in on a player like they did with Pressley. But bringing us to the present, that's why we should have been players in the huge RP FA market that this off season saw. The players were very much available to replace Pressley, but they didn't. That is a shame.
  23. sweetmusicviola16
    If its 12 pitchers then there is one spot still open. That could be between Austin and Ronald Torreyes. Austin does have some COF in his back ground, so if he can build on that that does allow him to offer some versatility. A wild card is still Astudillo, but with his remaining option he is at a disadvantage. I hope they go with 12 pitchers myself. Edit: I think Cron is already in too. He along with Cruz and Schoop represents too much of the FO's off season imo for them to cut him loose.
  24. sweetmusicviola16
    It will be fun to see where both end up after a year in our system. I am as hard as anyone on Falvine but I'm stoked about this trade. You have to give up quality to get quality.
  25. sweetmusicviola16
    I too am very positive on Alcala. Just out of curiosity, why do you consider him "high risk"?
