    By signing Bundt you are buying time for a minor leaguer to step up and take his job.
  2. Brandon
    Exactly
  3. Brandon
    This move is a head scratcher in that this is the first win now move they made all offseason. All of the other moves said this is a transition year. We could have had Bassit for so much ch less

    I guess the biggest positive about this trade is that I don’t have to be vested in this season so I probably will not follow them as much this year. This doesn’t feel like a good trade at all.

    So we trade a catcher and 200 OPS points to gain a SS and maybe 80 OPS points gain. Why not resign Simmons and keep Garver? We come out ahead this way.

    The Twins did resign Minaya today to a minor league deal. So we have that to talk about. but I will say we trade for Bassit and extend him. And sign Pineda at SS we signed several options so look for some other low level signing to compete for SS. And sign an inexpensive OF to compete for LF with other in house options.

    Gibson was projected to go top 5 in that draft. There was concern of him needing Tommy John surgery which he did. That is why he fell in the draft. We were ecstatic to get him.

    wasnt hrbeck a top prospect? infact the 1980 - 1982 Twins minor league system was full of them.
  9. Brandon
    I remember him hitting a player then Deleon Young got hit in retaliation and went after Jose instead of the opposing pitcher
  10. Brandon
    in being fair, we drafted him at 16 years of age. Being that he made it to the show is beating all reasonable expectations. Though I would have liked to see more production. in terms of more AB, HRs, RBIs and fewer K's. but he can still be a 400 HR hitter with 1000-1200 RBI if he gets after it when all is said and done. I hope he has more years with the Twins after this one.

    Sano's bat took off last season after the league cracked down on pitchers. So, I think that solves his biggest problem at the plate. I suspect Sano will have a big year this year. He is primed to have a 40 HR 100 RBI season.
  12. Brandon
    I consider not starting the season on time a big FU to the fans. So, I will give them and FU back. I will not spend money in anyway shape or form for at least a season maybe more. (only exception is a Twins World Series Appearance)

    They Twins have another option for 2B, SS, 3B. I doubt he was signed to play SS. He could get some games there. It does seem the Twins budget has been cut. We will find out of no other IF get signed. But like this article states he us likely to split time at 2b and 3rd and compete with Gordon for time. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/02/twins-sign-former-top-pick-tim-beckham-to-minors-deal.html

    With Bundy a low cost pick up and if the Twins go out and get another low cost pickup like Odorizzi or Pineda or both (sorry can't think of other pitchers off the top of my head) and say we are all good on pitchers then we easily have money for an Story book finish to the offseason.
  15. Brandon
    If the Twins trade for an Odorizzi and then for a Bassit type of pitcher then we would have room in the budget for Story at SS.
  16. Brandon
    As long as their paycheck clears the bank, the Twins are not failing anyone. Especially someone getting paid 92 to. 100 million.
  17. Brandon
    What if David West worked out? Headlining LHP in Frank Viola trade. I will also go with the closers Burdi and Chargois Matt LeCroy if he made it would we be as upset about losing Ortiz? Nishioka. If he made it would we be more successful in landing Japanese players?
  18. Brandon
    I like your idea better. I just think writers suck and have no business deciding anything. That is not their lot in life. They report on what others do....
  19. Brandon
    I think for Torrii ti be a borderline HOF he wouldnneed to have more counting stats. He needed around 800-1000 more AB to be able to hit them. 200-300 hits 40-50 HRs. And 150 RBI. He gets those numbers added to his career totals he probably gets in.
  20. Brandon
    found it..... I scrolled up earlier and i guess i missed it.

    This was a fun article. THere should be a way to like articles or emoji them like we can with comments.

    Phil Nevin or Hall of Famer Steve Carlton

    It is read a s a hard floor. I was just throwing out this idea and starting a discussion. There is nothing wrong with trading for bad contracts. I was just pointing out that they will be more common with a floor. My issue is with tanking. Even if you are only a 70 win team you should still try to win 72 games. Every win should matter for a team even a losing one. It tells how close you truly are to the top.

    The Twins just need to shake up their talent acquisition methods a little. They struck early in the offseason a few years back and that was the last time they did that. They do not do many trades in the offseason. Though deadline deals usually get done. Usually, selling instead of adding ..... Dumpster Diving can only go so far. Getting Donladson and Cruz and reasonable rates are not always going to be the norm. If all we do is dumpster dive then others will start following our lead as we do the same predictable thing over and over again. Though I wonder if we will get lucky with Story and get him on a shorter-term contract. but anyways I think this offseason we will resign Pineda and trade for a starter and I hope we sign a SS or middle IF especially one who can hit since our pitching is more likely to be downgraded from last year to some extent.

    I think the Fans should vote on the hall of fame. the writers are pretentious and do not fairly or equitably represent us.
