    I have a feeling that Cave will play more and out perform Broxton next year. And that Happ will get a contract as a back of the rotation pitcher somewhere and will live up to those expectations.
  2. yeahyabetcha
    I hope the Twins invest in Buxton first (if he even is interested in signing), starting pitching second, SS third. Not interested in any of these options.

    I find it ironic that the author was able to throw Happ and Shoemaker (who were signed as back of the order options) under the bus as main causes of the Twins poor season. But than offers 3 options that are in someways similar to them as expensive top of the rotation pieces. Happ was probably the Twins best starter in April, than had the worst stretch of his career when he came under the full tutelage of Wes Johnson, than helped pitch the Cardinals into the playoffs after he was traded. Why?

    I hope he is allowed to start the season at AAA to see how the season works out. He would probably be my first in line if a starter is injured. Everything changes if Buxton is traded however.
  5. yeahyabetcha
    For the Saints?
  6. yeahyabetcha
    Doesn’t Sano play first base?
  7. yeahyabetcha
    Why can’t Kirillof be the regular left fielder?
  8. yeahyabetcha
    I give him a C, but my main complaints are maybe more organizational than on Rocco. For instance, the trend to pull starters earlier and rely on bullpens to get the last 12 outs of nearly every game. But most teams do it nowadays, Boston did last night with Eovaldi. It worked out last night, but what if one of 4 relievers used, had a bad night.

    I respect your opinion, but I disagree with almost everything you say and the assumptions you make.
  10. yeahyabetcha
    Do you think Happ helped or hurt the Cardinals chance to make the playoffs?
  11. yeahyabetcha
    What amount do think the Twins payroll should be set at?
  12. yeahyabetcha
    If Buxton were to stay healthy next year and play near the pace he was at this year what kind of offers do you think he would get?
  13. yeahyabetcha
    Springer got 6 years/150 million. If I am Buxton, I bet on myself staying healthy next and would look at that contract as a starting spot.
  14. yeahyabetcha
    My first choice would be to sign him, although 7/$200 scares me. But if I were him I am not sure I would sign for anything less. But let’s just say that he doesn’t want to sign a long term deal with the Twins because he wants to test the open market in a year. If that were the case the Twins should explore the trade options. Not sure how to answer the punt question….the only minor leaguers that I see as early in the season options are Miranda, Celestino and Rortvedt. Meaning I think the Twins already have to bring in a SS, 3 starting pitchers and at least one bullpen arm if they are gonna compete with the Sox. And that is with signing Buxton.
  15. yeahyabetcha
    So if Buxton counters with 7 years/ $200 million, what do you do?
  16. yeahyabetcha
    What if his asking price is $300 million for 10 years?
  17. yeahyabetcha
    If his bat is that valuable that it should be in the lineup more than 100 games a year, he will likely have to stop catching. The problem is how do the Twins do that? And who catches then?
  18. yeahyabetcha
    Not a fan of how he manages, but I think you put too much blame on Rocco. He probably manages the way his bosses want him to.
  19. yeahyabetcha
    I don’t think Scherzer was available….
  20. yeahyabetcha
    I truly doubt it is Rocco’s solo decision to be limiting Ober’s usage this year. I believe it to be an organizational decision.
  21. yeahyabetcha
    Which free agent pitcher do you think the Pohlads should commit 5 years and 125 to 150 million of their dollars to?
  22. yeahyabetcha
    If the choice for the starting SS next year is Gordon or Simmons, I take Simmons
  23. yeahyabetcha
    Not sure how 12 starts this year is a better indicator than 5 years worth in the minors.
  24. yeahyabetcha
    I was in attendance for this game, first time in a couple of years. It was a beautiful night to be at the ballpark, unfortunately the home team seemed to be just going thru the motions.
  25. yeahyabetcha
    #6. Even you state he is not ready. #5 Speed is barely used by the Twins now. Buxton and Gordon both have it and it doesn’t seem to be utilized. This regime values homers. And this guy hasn’t really hit that well at AA #4 and #3 Don’t know a lot about these two, can they field the position? IMO that is important. Can they handle a part time position? They did have nice seasons, but not sure they would be much of an improvement. #2 if he isn’t playing every day, I would prefer he starts next year at SP #1 I do like his versatility, has pretty much quit hitting though. And he bats right handed. I am not even that big of a fan of Cave, but he did hit right handers pretty good a couple of seasons back, and was playing hurt much of this season. Wondering why you didn’t mention Larnach, Martin, Rooker or Garlick
