    Do me a favor and hang around awhile anyway.

    I don't think we should rebuild but we have articles suggesting that it's time to trade Sonny Gray, Mahle and Maeda. Not signing Correa seemingly is the reason the articles seem to be suggesting this. That is way too much weight being placed on the signing of Correa. We may not have Rodon at the top of our rotation but we have 9 starters that look like they could be decent. Let's see if they are. We have 13 starters currently on the 40 man and 12 if Ronny gets moved to the pen. Mancini might makes us better... Drury might make us better. We have some 40 man trade candidates. So... Correa has signed with Giants... What's next. I don't believe the roster is done. I'll reserve judgement until the off-season is completed.

    I typically get the blame whenever someone doesn't go perfectly at my house. I might as well get tagged with this one if blame most be found.

    Or you could hope to finally see New Hampshire.

    Correa is still only one guy. If this team was just a Correa away... I might feel different. What's next.

    I won't argue your thoughts. I expressed concern at the beginning of free agency under the assumption: That chasing a big contract would require freezing the money available for that contract and therefore cause issues offering that earmarked money to others. However... Since the Giants made the deal. The comments... even articles are suggesting that signing Correa is the difference between competing and starting the rebuild now. That is way too much weight on a single player.

    I have never seen a year when the Twins had "Too Many" of anything. I have however read multiple articles and posts every year suggesting that we have too many of something. I beg for a log jam. I beg for it. It has literally never happened.

    In my opinion, We are placing too much weight on Carlos Correa.

    I admit that I don't know why? However... Is the roster done? Claiming "bad roster construction by this FO" with off-season remaining is like walking into a unfinished basement and telling a person while he is working on the basement that the basement looks like ****. If the roster is done... I'll join you in this sentiment.
  10. Riverbrian
    I've read enough comments from others to know the sentiment exists.

    Ugh... Might be Emilio's middle name. However, I feel it is important to note that this article is a push poll by asking who was "hurt more". More importantly... the article is laying out a comparative damage assessment one year later and asking for opinions. Asking one year later is kind of evil when one team traded for an expiring contract while the other team received 3 players with multi years of control. So... I feel compelled to say it again. Both players acquired by the Padres are no longer with the Padres. The players acquired by the Twins are still Twins.

    I'll never understand the need to choose 9 thinking number 10 can't play. Or 11 or 12 or 13 or 14...............

    Drafted players are not finished products. Alex Kirilloff, Ben Rortvedt, Jose Miranda, Akil Baddoo and Griffin Jax were the first 5 picks of the last Ryan Regime draft. They have been developed almost entirely under the Falvey/Lavine regime. Who gets the credit? Chicken or Egg while you are at it.

    For More! Do I understand that you have asked for more, after you have eaten the supper allotted by the dietary?

    Through the years it does seem that GM's and POBO's are very loyal to their teams. There have been a few that have been lured to another organization for more money and car wash coupons but not many. Typically, it is someone in the 2nd chair changing teams for a 1st chair. Twins ownership does seem to exhibit stability, loyalty or patience because the people at the top have gotten nice long runs in comparison to other teams who adjust more often. These two things lead me to guess that we should settle in for the long haul and support our front office instead for wishing horrible things to force a change.
  16. Riverbrian
    Nicely Done. I don't have the answer either but the out loud thinking was refreshing.

    Last year... Not so much. This year. (Shouting off in the distance) What's that? Hey I gotta Run... I'll get back to ya.
  18. Riverbrian
    My guess was that the Padres were at a money wall at the time so creativity was necessary to land a talented bullpen arm. Starter, years of service made Paddack much higher value so the money to pay Rogers evened out the deal and kept the Padres budget inside where that wall was. Of course... that wall has come down since. ? Just a guess of course.

    That picture of Jack Morris might be a clue... Or is that a photo of Chili Davis.

    Well... Thank You. I'm not going to get any sleep tonight because I'll be trying to figure out how this is even possible. Freel hit 22 Home Runs so he probably couldn't reach the OF. ? Gallo has the strength to reach the warning track with his pop ups. His home run total of 177 is tops on the list while his 12 GDP is lowest on the list. The Twins just got a rare player indeed.

    I could also be wrong... because you are right... we don't know. I know I don't and I assume that the truth is probably where it usually is... somewhere in the middle buried out of sight in a pile of nuance. In the void, alternative theories fly around the globe at 21st century social media speed. I just push back against these incredible accusations that the front office is capable of doing things that very few people in all walks of life would do. 1. I'd guess that cards are kept close to the vest but there are only 30 teams in this small group. I'd have to assume that if Boras says that the Pirates are offering 10.5M (For example) and the Pirates were not in at 10.5... Boras could never play that card again. Because the Pirates would eventually let everyone know that that they were not in at 10.5. 2. Gallo isn't saving face for the Twins front office. According to the responses on Twinsdaily. It was pie in the face. They wanted him because they think he can help is the only thing that makes sense. 3. My guess... is you are right on this one. Smaller market team that doesn't want to move prospects to plug a hole. Brewers maybe, Orioles? I'm guessing but I think you are right. Anyway... I was just pushing back. I'm as lost as everyone else in this world.

    I'm not sure I agree but I like the minority viewpoint pulling up a chair to the table. Put your helmet on. The Rocks should start coming soon.
