    no.....and can we also not have Sanchez and Jeffers both in the lineup.....we have enough bats (that can actually hit) to not have these guys and their feeble swings both in the lineup......was hoping for more out of Sanchez......but at least a short deal.

    First, editing on the article is horrible!! Next, I have said all along the shorter the Correa contract is for the Twins the better...good player, good guy.....but not 30+ Million worth of value to this team. I would ask him what he wants, being known as an organization that is player friendly, especially top players can only help. If he stays this season and we make the playoffs and give the guys some experience...that's a plus....let him opt out and leave...we had nothing in to get him., so letting him walk is no long term cost. If he wants to leave, find the best place that is agreeable....get as much as you can...and save the remaining $s on this year....

    we have to all hope Correa opts out for a long term contract....that means he was healthy and had a good year.....same spot as I have been with this contract all along....best for the twins if this is only a 1 year deal....the longer it goes..means he has underperformed...and we are stuck with an asset that isn't worth what he is being paid.

    They need to sit him down for a week to 10 days...... Last night was just one more reason.......has a terrible night at the plate, only getting on because Grossman is a subpar fielder....then in his oblivious state.....makes a terrible base running error...not once but twice.....watch the play.....going first to second.....then trying to push and go to third....this guys head is not in the game.....loads of talent..no discipline.......just want to slap him upside the head to wake him up...... But bailed out by two terrible defensive plays....lucky our division cannot play defense..... cannot have your starting 1st baseman hitting under .100........time to sit him down.

    81-81......

    To me this all comes down to Correa....if he is only here 1 yr...then that deal is a A.....if 2 yr's then a B and if by some chance he is here for all three, then we did not get value.....so a D....... Dumping Donaldson was an A......getting back relatively minor contracts but losing catching depth.......still ok with.... This team will not compete for playoffs....so hopefully a couple of these guys will have some value at the trade deadline.....play the young guys and look forward to 23 and 24...... Archer was a good dart throw, for the price worth taking the chance on the guy. Roll out the balls and lets get the season going. Let's shoot for .500 baseball......

    Correa is hopefully a one yr rental....the shorter his contract the better for the team. (he over performs and opts out for a long term deal, somewhere else)......if we see all three years (means he did not exceed contract) so this buys the Twins a one year window to get Lewis MLB ready.
  8. srlarson
    don't waste money on these guys...this season is a throw away anyways....save the $'s and get a real budget for next year....
  9. srlarson
    to me the logical spot for him is platooning w Donaldson between 3rd and DH......give them both some time out of the field..and keep their bats in the lineup.
  10. srlarson
    nothing wrong w Cave...but nothing special about him either....trading for a 4th outfielder just never a wise thing to do. Surprised he has hung around as long as he has w the Twins...... Twins just can't seem to develop Pitching or identify when they have a chance to do something......
  11. srlarson
    hopefully he earns all 29.75.....would mean good things for the Twins, and Him!!
  12. srlarson
    Wade is a replacement level player....so getting anything for him that can help at the major league level is a good deal. Hope he does well in SF....ready for the the season!!
  13. srlarson
    guessing if they can get Odo for 10mil would keep salaries manageable...and lock in another started. 1 yr deal....maybe a mutual option.
  14. srlarson
    those who admitted to using Illegal/banned I put differently than those who use prior to testing and those who are suspected of using....... Without the proof opens a slippery slope.....but for me Bonds, AROD...not a chance...AROD specifically suspended...why would you take after the whole first round, then testing.....WOW.... Should not allowed to be around the game....as bad as Rose betting on baseball....broke the written rules......you are out of consideration.
  15. srlarson
    new #9 batter..... Good D...now if Bux can get his swing and take a spot at the top of the order.....all good.
  16. srlarson
    Find the Number and sign him....he is such a good influence on the club, let the guys watch a pro...how to be a pro!
  17. srlarson
    assumptions Marvin G is gone (9mil), Eddie R don't offer Arbitration (7.75 mil), Decline Sergio R Option (5Mil) Big Quesiton is Pitching....can you get Odo back cheap? Hill? What else will be out there...... Resign Cruz, one yr good money with a mutual option..if he wants two a slight discount in the second with escalators....bring up a young guy to replace Rosario.... They will have to plan for no fans in 2021, and adjust up if possible.....
  18. srlarson
    want to see him take the leadoff spot.....then bring Kepler or Garver in the 2 depending on matchup......love his patience... Arraez Kepler Cruz Donaldson Garver Polanco Rosario Sano Buxton
  19. srlarson
    I hate the bogus crowd noise piped in..... To add some fun....saw the idea of removing the screens protecting the cardboard people.....make foul balls a lot more fun........ Cruz on pace for 200 RBI....if he can play 60 against the Sox..... Sox are not contenders yet....that Defense is horrible!! Still questioning the lineup...... BUT HAPPY ball is back!!
  20. srlarson
    Age 27......wonder what Nelson Cruz has to say about that......Fine bourbon.....better with age!!
  21. srlarson
    I miss the Baggie!!!!! and the plexiglass......
  22. srlarson
    Have always been an Eddie fan, But he is the odd man out...forget Cave and Wade....get to the young guys. Hopefully Eddie lights it up first 1/2 the year and can be part of a trade deadline deal for a pitcher. and let one of the Kids take over. Not a Cave fan at all.......his D was terrible last year.....and if you are going cheap let one of the Kids get a start.........
  23. srlarson
    Not a Cave Fan at all....we have to be able to do better.
  24. srlarson
    Even if they go to 150-160 that is Large % of the budget.......just don't see that ending well.....would rather see that money lock up our own guys (Berrios/Buxton)
  25. srlarson
    I Like Donaldson as a player, but I do not like this signing for the Twins. Committing 20+M to a 34 yr old 3rd baseman (Will be a DH by the end of the Contract) for a team with a payroll of 130-140M seems like a luxury.....need to spend the money to resign Berrios if we cannot attract FA pitchers we better keep what we have.
