  1. If I remember correctly..they were unable to align their schedules. Stayed in contact but unable to workout together unfortunately a lost opportunity.
  2. Well said! Unfortunately they will move on to something else to complain about...that is what they do. Many fans on here seam to only parrot the negative and worst case scenario. I feel sorry for those folks. But hey we are all entitled to our opinions.
  3. Ok..I was on the golf course. Wow! I am happy as hell. I do have to ask from the folks on here that wanted to move on from him or only do a one year contract at most. Am I being over excited, or is this still a bad deal. I honestly would like to hear your thoughts. Thanks
  4. No ...but he can play shortstop. How do you feel about this deal? Honestly asking. I know you were not interested in him for anything longer than one year contract.
  5. Donaldson is not and never will be like Bauer. He's actually a positive person and helps many. But ya..if you read he's a bad person by somebody that doesn't even know him...I guess it must be true.
  6. I definitely don't think they are stupid. I'm sure they are very competent. I'd be ecstatic to sign Carlos for only a one year contract. I just don't see a 1 year offer cutting it. He would have signed already if a 1 year offer was his best option. Just my opinion...but I believe multiple years no matter who he signs with.
  7. Actually year 5 would be and 8 million buyout of a 16 million dollar salary. So total would have been 100 or 108. So not to far off. Guess our memories are both fading.
  8. Here's my thing. We signed Donaldson to what a 120 million starting at age 34 or 35...not sure exact age but it was definitely past his prime years. This is our chance to sign a better player at age 27. That gives us AT least 8 years before he would be the age of what Donaldson was. Think about that. Also spend money on a star..or pay 3 different underperfoming old veterans every year for 10 million each. No thanks! Sign Archer, Bundy, and whoever for totally of 30 million. OR sign Correa for 35 million a year?
  9. I believe the talent is still there. I hear what you are saying...but he missed 2 years of development. He had TJ surgery and also was shut down a year do to milb losing a season. His upside and talent is still there, but missing 2 years of development hurt his time line. I believe he will make multiple starts in the big leagues this year. So in my opinion being 24 while missing 2 years and fully healthy, his story is just getting started.
  10. If you consider 80-85 wins a development year....Id call that great job considering we were only developing players. But heck 90 wins probably wins the division. So hopefully we can develop and win the division at the same time.
  11. 3 new outfielders? I have to ask who are you getting rid of?..and how?
  12. What is it on his BR page that confirms he is not moving up in your opinion?
  13. You would feel much differently if you watched him play and practice in person. His game stands out even against older competition. The league is also notoriously known as being not very hitter friendly.
  14. One of my favorite reads every year Nick..thankyou! I really like Emma. He's a really outstanding person and in my opinion will be atop our prospect ratings soon. No knock on the other guys but as I've stated before he has superstar written all over him.
  15. How does making better trades and receiving more talent in those trades NOT make us better? The Berrios trade literally did impact us as a team.
  16. I believe it is solid wisdom. We gave up a lot less for Sonny G. as compared to what the Blue Jay's gave up for Jose Berrios.
  17. Just wanted to get your take on how you rated Petty to our current pitching prospects. I thought you were comparing them.
  18. I just don't get fans not wanting to spend up. Look..if the owners don't spend it, they are not going to mail you a check reflecting the money saved. I understand the owners being hesitant..just not the fans.
  19. That's kinda harsh and definitely not true. I know the goal is the world series but...definitely not the worst FO of all time. Offseason isn't even over.
  20. I know and understand you and others want the young players to not be blocked and play. But honestly the Twins have been doing everything they can to give them opportunities. The challenge is not if or how to give the kids a chance. We've been doing that for at least the past two seasons. The challenge is keeping them healthy. So you may say let's rebuild and give the young players a chance....but if they are injured...what you are wanting becomes impossible. The FO HAS BEEN trying to get our kids chances.
  21. Hey Cody. Nice article about one of my favorite players. Also seams to be growing into a leadership role from my perspective. I have to ask what you mean when you say his numbers from last year are "kinda fluky". Dis he have unexceptional good luck or something I missed? Thanks
