    This type of analysis has SSS issues. In non-Twins games the White Sox are at 500 and the A's are one game below. Conversely the Tigers are one game below 500 in non-Twins games One or two games flips the story from "Twins feasting off of below 500 teams" to "Twins succeeding in spite of poor record against bad teams" Also, if you believe Vegas, the Rangers were supposed to be a playoff team. Also-Also... weren't the Twins really good against the Rangers and Indians (division winners) last year? Where'd that get us?

    C'mon.... he wouldn't even get that much if he became a free agent tomorrow. Why would we give him that with 4 cheap years still to come?
  3. amjgt
    Ummmm.... the current count is 1. Past contract should have nothing to do with what is or is not offered to Sano.

    I agree, but not because they are cheap, but because it has too much risk. Right now the Twins are saddled with a 23M/yr below average first baseman that was (when the contract was inked) supposed to be a HOF catcher. The Twins could replace most if not all of Mauer's production internally, with someone who's pre-arbitration. We'd hate the Twins, in 2023, to be saddled with a $35M "3 outcome" DH who could be replaced or at least mostly replaced by someone making 20% of that. Do, I think he's going to become a 3-outcome DH? No. But anyone looking at this objectively has to realize that's a possibility.

    One thing worth thinking about, from Sano's camp's perspective.... power hitting DH types didn't get paid much money this off-season. Was than an anomaly or a trend? Is that Miguel's floor? Probably. But that's a scary financial floor.

    On the "Touch 'em All" podcast (Basically 30 minutes of Twins content on 1500AM) this topic came up. I ended up yelling at my radio. They did two "who says no" scenarios. Scenario 1: 10yr/250M Their contention was that both sides might not be all that interested. Which I don't necessarily disagree with, but one of their reasons for Sano's camp saying no was that it wasn't enough money. (more on this in a minute) Scenario 2: 6yr/100M Everybody said Sano's camp would definitely say no. Not enough money. This is when I started yelling at my radio, something to the effect of "DO YOU PEOPLE NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THE FIRST 6 YEARS OF SALARY WORKS?!?!?!" Basically, that would be buying out two free agent years for $35M each, as well as guaranteeing the whole contract. AND THAT'S NOT ENOUGH? I understand the desire from the Sano camp to hit free agency a) as early as possible, and B} at a prime age, but 6 years puts him at what? 28? That's pretty prime. My opinion: 6/70 with a team option that would make it 7/100. Also, I'd keep it pretty flat over the length of the contract. Might as well pay a decent amount now, when we're on the way lower end of our payroll range. 2018: 10 2019: 12 2020: 12 2021: 12 2022: 12 2023: 12 This allows us future financial flexibility as well as, if we need to, a valuable, low-cost trade asset.

    No, Dick, having Buxton injured does not cause a problem for Molitor to get Vargas in the lineup. Quite the opposite. Just pure stupidity there
  8. amjgt
    I'm glad Buxton gets to bat again in this game, against what is likely not the A's best reliever.
  9. amjgt
    Well.... Actually.... It hit the top of the wall, so it didn't technically clear the flower pot
  10. amjgt
    This is silly
  11. amjgt
    I know we've been joking about it, but do we have an exit velocity on that Sano bomb?
  12. amjgt
    Well... they had some tickets and realized it was my birthday, so they invited me.
  13. amjgt
    36th round pick last year. Son of someone in their organization. No details yet. Nothing mentioned on the broadcast.
  14. amjgt
    New exit velocity leader?
  15. amjgt
    I still don't think he would've gotten him

    That slider that Gray threw on the first pitch to Dozier was NASTY. Thought he could come back with it and he hung it. DOZIER!
  17. amjgt
    Nice balls and strikes, ump
  18. amjgt
    They keep harping on that SB like Polanco screwed it up. The throw wasn't that good and he was rushing to apply the tag
  19. amjgt
    Of all the people that should know that W/L is a bad way to judge success, you'd think it would be Bert
  20. amjgt
    So was Kintzler
  21. amjgt
    Gallo up... <vomit sound>
  22. amjgt
    I'm curious how foul Buxton's ball to RF was. The camera made it look pretty close.
  23. amjgt
    "Athletic play!!!!!"
  24. amjgt
    Berrios seems stretched out to me

    How the inning went: Polanco struck out swinging. Sanó doubled to deep center. Castro singled to deep right, Sanó scored. Mauer hit for Gimenez. Mauer singled to left, Castro to second. Rosario flied out to left. Kepler hit for Buxton. Kepler popped out to third. MN 1 - DET 2 How the inning could have went without that ridiculous lineup: Polanco struck out swinging. Sanó doubled to deep center. Castro singled to deep right, Sanó scored. D Santana pinch runs for Castro Mauer singled to left, D Santana to third Rosario flied out to left. D Santana tags and scores from 3rd Kepler hit for Buxton. Kepler popped out to third. MN 2 - Det 2
