    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.

    Tony Oliva, HOF!!!!
  3. 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.

    Not another Tyler Duffey I hope?

    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.

    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
  7. sweetmusicviola16
    Fully agree, considering that we have already seen how volatile these players have been thus far in their young careers. As has also been pointed out, we only have 3 more seasons of Sano. What then?
  8. sweetmusicviola16
    Unless we are ever offered a knock your socks off offer, Sano, Buxton and Kepler stay on this team until their team control has come to an end.
  9. sweetmusicviola16
    And lets be honest, Cron, Schoop, Parker, Torreas and Perez are all dipping into the discard pile.
  10. sweetmusicviola16
    It hasn't really been hit on here, but imo part of why this team continues to struggle is this constant dipping into the discard pile for a huge % of it's pieces. Looking at the potential opening day roster half of the players haven't even played a full season of ML ball together. This is a huge problem and Falvey continues to magnify it. I'm a huge proponent of using the FA system. It is one of the pieces needed to put together a winning team and shouldn't be ignored. But it shouldn't be used as a revolving door system either. Focus in on a couple of guys needed to supplement those already in your system. Same thing with trades, which we seem to hardly use. Use some of the excess milb talent you have and bring in that final needed piece or two, Odorizzi is the type of trade I'd like to see more of. But lets find a way to stop this high turnover of the roster year after year please.
  11. sweetmusicviola16
    Or Option C: Bring up some of the young players and bear with them in the growing pains. Sign an FA or two a season to a longer than a one season deal and trade some of the excess milb talent, for some ML depth, that isn't getting the same chance as the first group instead of sitting on these guys and seeing them be DFA'd in a short time. What's the stinking point of having this highly vaunted minor system if you don't use it?
  12. sweetmusicviola16
    I was wanting to see a Drew Pomeranz signing speaking of possible upside. Yes Like Perez he stunk to high heaven in 2018. But unlike Perez he has actually succeeded at a high level during his career.
  13. sweetmusicviola16
    Yes, if Perez is the 5th starter over Mejia we now are left with having to secure 80% of our rotation new for 2020. How does that bode well for success? If Perez is getting the starts over Mejia we still won't know what we have in Mejia, and if so I'm guessing they don't really think they have much in Mejia at all.
  14. sweetmusicviola16
    In that last sentence lies the problem. We have been told for years that we needed to wait. Wait for Arcia. Hicks. Buxton. Sano. Gonsalves. Gordon. Now its wait for Lewis and Kiriloff. This Perez signing indicates to me that they have no confidence in the young pitchers that we have been told to wait for. So we continue to get more Correa, Nolasco and Perez signings. I'm tired of waiting. Especially when we just witnessed one of the best relief pitcher FA markets in history. We get Perez instead of Robertson, Familia, Herrera, etc
  15. sweetmusicviola16
    Instead of Justin Wilson we get Martin Perez..... Lovely.
  16. sweetmusicviola16
    Your last sentence asked us who we would like to see the Twins sign or trade for, so any others you passed it on for us to bring up and debate. I think the guys you pointed out are all credible lower tier options. This is a good food for thought article.
  17. sweetmusicviola16
    I didn't like the Sanchez signing either. We have no way of knowing if Sanchez would have done well as a Twin either. The difference between the two signings is that Perez is an ML signing and Sanchez wasn't. Perez is owed 3.5 mil plus any buyout of 2020, he will get every oppurtunity to be on the team now regardless of how bad he may end up being. Had Perez been an milb signing I would still not be excited over it but I'd also take no issue with it.
  18. sweetmusicviola16
    Even if he's replacing Duffey, why replace bad with bad?
  19. sweetmusicviola16
    I could see this as an invite to camp. But not on a guaranteed ML deal.
  20. sweetmusicviola16
    Why? Perez is awful and always has been.
  21. sweetmusicviola16
    Offer Kimbrel a 1/18. Or a 2/35 with the 2nd year being a player opt out deal. I would still want one of the remaining guys we're discussing here added on top of Kimbrel.
  22. sweetmusicviola16
    Coming from the left side Justin Wilson looks worth while. He can be wild, but so can Kimbrel, but last season an 11.4 K/9. I'd still like to see Mychal Givens be brought over from Baltimore by trade.
  23. sweetmusicviola16
    Hunter Strickland and Alex Wilson are a couple more that would improve our pen. Though neither are flashy but will likely have one great Twins asset going for them, Cheap.
  24. sweetmusicviola16
    The issue isn't with Ozoria at all. He may well turn into something. The issue is cutting loose Curtiss to get him. We know what Duffey and Magill are and likely Parker as well. I wouldn't be surprised that Parker is the second coming of Belisle. Belisle getting reps over Curtiss or any other Twins farmhand should upset the fans. My predictiom is that if Ozoria becomes ML close in 4 years that he will receive the same fate as Curtiss.
  25. sweetmusicviola16
    Sounding like Allen is headed to Anaheim. Kimbrel will be all that's left out of an amazing group of FA relievers. Maybe it will be Kimbrel. Not. Not for an FO that is averse to taking any real risk.
