    He gets on base well if he can hit around.270. He has elite HBP skillz. He has moderate power. Normal doubles and half the HRs you want from a good 1B. If he hits like that with average defense he would be a value for 1 million.
  2. Brandon
    Exactly! 👍

    Looking at Ty’s stats he is a 25-30 2Bs and 15-20 HR potential. His walks are light be he does have elite HBP skills. If he can get his average to .270 he would be useful. Though I suspect his cost is low enough that someone can take his playing time away and he could spend more time on the bench or even get released I’d he is not producing.

    I’m guessing Derek Falvey read this article and the first remaining option being Ty France. Falvey must have thought…. Forgot about him great idea let’s make this happen……
  5. Brandon
    The message here is that somebody is definitely going to play 1B.
  6. Brandon
    These guys and Severino is plenty of floor depth to get through the season. Also Emma could come up and move Larnarch to 1B.
  7. Brandon
    Duarte must still be rehabbing. Jenkins will likely get some AB if he hits well in minor league games, Eeles is a miss so is Emma I hope they resign Henriquez and give him an invite.

    I’m hoping the Twins can put together a deal for someone else. Maybe Alcala, SWR and Castro for Cease? Or I think Hellman or Keirsey are the ones outrighted off the roster.
  9. Brandon
    We have Ober, Ryan and Lopez under contract for the next three years. SWR for 5 or 6 and Festa and Matthews for 6. That is some rotation stability for the next three seasons. Yes someone can get hurt but we have people almost ready to step in their place.
  10. Brandon
    With our rotation set for the next three seasons and 4 seasons from now we could still have SWR, Festa and possibly Matthews as developed starters that would give us almost 2 more years of likely rotation stability. It makes sense to take a group of high school pitchers now to develop over time and soon college pitchers so that a large number of pitchers are ready when we start having holes in the rotation again.
  11. Brandon
    having one of the top 2 pitching staffs in the game is a great way to win a lot of games. go get Cease and Desist and keep more runs off the board.
  12. Brandon
    At least we have the Cease rumor to vicariously live through. Getting him would give us the best rotation in MLB. That is pretty exciting. And that’s about it on the transaction side of things.
  13. Brandon
    He costs near the league minimum and he can be a 3-4 starter. He was that for the Twins last year. That is very valuable, especially to a team that is past their budget with several holes to fill. My trade proposal fills three of their 4 holes for even cost. All they would need is a DH. We have Castillo for LF till ERod is ready. And several potential backup Catchers already, so my trade doesn’t hurt the Twins much.
  14. Brandon
    I would think Larnarch, Woods-Richardson and Vazquez would be more than enough as we get out of Vazquez contract and replace Cease with a low cost starter who can compete. We might need a low level prospect back in the deal too to balance things and Larnarch is a low cost Profar replacement in LF.
  15. Brandon
    I think a rotation of Lopez, Cease, Ryan, Ober, Festa would be a crazy good rotation for the season and probably the best in the league. If the Twins could trade Vazquez, Woods-Richardson and any number of prospects to even out the trade and maybe 2-3 million cash to help SD cut 5 million-6 million in payroll in the trade and get a low cost starter and a prospect Twins get Ace level pitcher for rotation. I think the Twins could sell more tickets with that move. Get a RH OF / 1B who can hit ok and that is a winning offseason for a team that didn’t need much to begin with this offseason.
  16. Brandon
    Wallner was omitted from the list in the article. after 3 season Ober, Ryan and Lopez are free agents. Festa will probably replace one of them. If we replace the other one or two who leave then the competitive window stays open. Good starting pitching is the key. Also need to find a good SS to take over for Correa at some point too. But we already have young offensive players who will be here 4-6 more seasons and more on the way. In conclusion we will be competitive forever😎
  17. Brandon
    I assume because he has done it before he can do it again. He was two bad starts from doing it again last year. The issue with him is can we get any innings from him.
  18. Brandon
    If not SWR then likely Festa. That would make sense to me as Festa has a high ceiling.
  19. Brandon
    I just had to say this was a great response. Like reading an article.
  20. Brandon
    My quote is figurative. Last season even though he had a 4.9 era he pitched much better than that other than one really bad start and I think his last start before shutting down. You take out his worst two appearances and he was in the 3.s for era. So he could do that for a full season if he can avoid being injured
  21. Brandon
    I could see many former players chipping in 5-10 million to have a minority stake in the team. I doubt they are looking for a former player to dump over 100 - 150 million or so into ownership of the team to get them to the 10% ownership level giving them a bigger interest in the team's success. and we wouldn't want that anyways as that could hinder the team from going all in if a former player has gone all in with his wealth on ownership.
  22. Brandon
    There were two catchers who signed this offseason for around 8.5 million that were just as valuable as Vazquez last season. If Vazquez fits perfectly into the Twins plan as a defensive C he is probably worth more to them than the rest of the League. and since the argument is he is worth half what he is being paid. and if he is well liked on the team and the payroll crunch is this season. why not do this. sign him to a 2 year 8 million extension. (4 million per year) then restructure the contract so he gets paid 5 or 6 million this year instead of 10 with adding money on the back end of the deal. make the contract something like 6 million in year one, 6.5 million in year 2 and 7 million in year 3. that way we spread out the overpayment over 3 years instead of 1. and while payroll is the biggest crunch this year, he has the lowest salary.
  23. Brandon
    I'm torn on trading Paddack. on one hand we get Festa as the 5th starter and developing further in the majors. On the other hand we have less depth. I feel like Paddack is good for 130 innings this season at a below 4.00 era which is a value at 7.5 million. back to the first hand, I guess the 7.5 million saved is important and this is the area to do that.
  24. Brandon
    I doubt the new Twins owners move on from Falvey. I do think Our manager is on the hot seat. But the Twins overall are historically better then the Twins have been over their cumulative history under Falvey. The Minnesota Twins overall have a below .500 record and have a .519 win % under Falvey. 620-574. I think he will still be here after the Twins are sold. I wonder what they could do with a 180 million payroll.
  25. Brandon
    Wouldn't finding a way to avoid a second half collapse be a more important thing to be concerned about since we had 2 of those in the last 4 or 5 seasons now.
