    I don’t know enough about Pickett or of any of the potential upcoming draft candidates. I do know starting rookie Qb’s seldom bring a playoff team, especially when the roster is gutted also. But having said that, if the new regime identifies a draft pick or finds a draft partner that brings in a new Qb that they are very high on, they should do it. But I would not like to see Cousins “cut” or whatever, without a valid replacement plan in place. I am also open to extending Kirk to reduce his cap hit, if the new regime believes in him.

    Thankfully, I don’t think there is a GM or head coach candidate in existence that would think cutting Kirk, eating his $45 cap hit and starting Mond next year would be a good idea.
  3. yeahyabetcha
    Are you advocating just cutting Theilen, Smith and Cousins and taking the cap hits that would entail?
  4. yeahyabetcha
    The defense will need a rebuild. Everson, Sheldon, Barr, Vigil, PP, Breeland, Woods are either gone or could be gone . That is a big chunk of minutes played to have to replace. Add to that the Hunter contract situation that will need to be addressed and a new defensive coordinator, and yes it will look different. But even with all that the i prefer the Vikings going into the offseason that the attitude that they will in playoff contention next year.

    I think I agree with you. If Kirillof handles it, he gets the most time at first base. Dh can be shared by Sano, Donaldson, Arraez and Garver depending on health and production.
  6. yeahyabetcha
    Are you saying the roster should be “torn down”? As a season ticket holder, I would not like to see something like that happen. Also, if the GM can not work with a coach with a strong personality (which seems to be most of them) he should not have been hired.

    From the small sample size of what I observed, he needs to figure out some things at the plate yet and when he was playing left field any hit to the gap seemed to be a double for anyone with at least average speed. Hopefully he gains some experience in St Paul to start the season and improves.

    Grienke will likely only get one year offers from teams. Why would he choose the Twins?
  9. yeahyabetcha
    Vegas is great for professional football and hockey teams. Opposing teams love to travel there. Not sure if the same is true for baseball fans, but who knows. The Carolina’s seem to make sense, but I don’t really think expansion is necessary or needed at this point.
  10. yeahyabetcha
    I suppose there is stat that shows Arraez is a better fielding SS than Simmons as well.
  11. yeahyabetcha
    Would you offer him a 3 or 4 year deal?
  12. yeahyabetcha
    Why don’t they just bring up last year’s entire draft class and see if they are part of future or not?
  13. yeahyabetcha
    I vote no to Story or to moving Polanco back. I prefer trading Sano, Arraez for pitching. I am ok with an infield of Kiriloff, Polanco, glove first SS free agent and Donaldson. Gordon and Miranda as backups.
  14. yeahyabetcha
    How much did Rodon make last year?
  15. yeahyabetcha
    Ok??? They could have added this $800,000 to some heavily incentive laden Buxton contract!
  16. yeahyabetcha
    No. My point is not to sign any free agents. More so, it is that because of baseball economics it is necessary for the Twins to use other avenues of players acquisition than trying to outbid the Yankees for “top” free agents. It would be great to sign Correa to some large 7 year deal, but doing so will impact the roster now and for future years.
  17. yeahyabetcha
    There may be current players to be resigned and free agents to go after in the next 5 years. Will signing 2 or 3 huge contracts now , allow for that? There are many posters already advocating eating many millions of Donaldson’s contract to get rid of him. How many contracts like that do you want the Twins to take on?
  18. yeahyabetcha
    But it simply isn’t spending 40-50M this offseason, it likely means a commitment of hundreds of millions over 5 plus years. That seems to me to be a case made for the article topic.
  19. yeahyabetcha
    The title to the article is “A case against signing the top free agents”. I don’t think it means that they should spend no money. I guess I don’t think that every time the Twins lose out is free agent it was because ownership was cheap. And no, I am not a Pohlad , nor do I work for them.
  20. yeahyabetcha
    Maybe they should off Correa a 1 year/$60 million dollar deal
  21. yeahyabetcha
    So they aren’t using any of it? Also, the statement that they should be able give out $40-$50 million allocations next year is a bit misleading, because signing two long term free agents this off season probably means a 5 year commitment of $200 million.
  22. yeahyabetcha
    We will just have to agree to disagree as to what “did just fine” means
  23. yeahyabetcha
    I guess we will just have trust them to use our money wisely.
  24. yeahyabetcha
    It sure is easy to spend someone else’s money
  25. yeahyabetcha
    I take it you never saw him play defense
