    Even a mediocre season with 120 games played will be considered a success for Buxton because of his injury history. My point was that setting the bar so low is only partial success tho. He has a contract that incentivizes him to be an MVP and I would bet he has that as a goal in his career. I’d be happy with a solid season that he could build off of but I’m still setting the bar higher than that.

    It’s tough for these guys not to play hurt. Even C4 showed up barely able to walk some days but after getting treatment, he would be out on the field, playing hurt and GDP’ng more than ever. Health will bring better results and more success in ‘24!

    I think a few people didn’t read this post the way it was intended. At age 30, a successful season for Buxton should be nothing short of an Allstar season and MVP talk from game 1 to game 180. Its not his fault that injuries have derailed his career. Its a bit late to ask for 100 games of semi mediocre results from a healthy, grown man. He has put in his time with the medical and training/rehab experts, its time to expect expert results from a 5 tool guy. Actual success, even for him, shouldn't be showing up to participate. Success for Buxton in ‘24 should be putting on a show. I said what I said. MVP talk all season long.

    Agreed. There is depth but it is limited which is why its hard to trade it away. There are pieces that will accrue more value if given the development time.

    This is why I have no problem with the FO going slow this year. There is no panic when we have what we have and that is a very deep organization in most positions. Our biggest issues are simply question marks of youth and health. But isnt that really how it should be? A couple missing pieces is all we need to get to 90+wins. That gets us to October and thats where we need to focus but we have until August so there is no real rush.

    We aren’t planning on drafting in the top 20 anytime soon so we shouldn’t trade away the guys that are going to be impossible to replace.
  7. Fatbat
    It's as bad as trading for a player that you know has zero interest in playing in MN.

    A one year rental doesn't work. He would have to agree to a 4-6 yr deal or no trade should happen.

    I was 19 and I am still bitter about it.

    I will take the under.

    I’m inclined to believe that Falvey has had several offers and he has ongoing discussions. I like the fact that deals haven’t been done because that simply means he is working better deals instead of just making a deal. Keep saying “not good enough yet” Mr. Falvey.
  12. Fatbat
    Yeah, the dude loves to hit in October. He lit up the AFL in 2022. Lets trade him so someone else can cheer for him the next 7 years as he rips it up in October. Some guys are just built different. Like they live for the spot light. We have those kind of guys and they are young and controllable. Don’t trade those guys!!

    I’m wouldn’t be giving up pitching to get pitching. The easiest way to improve the ‘24 Twins is to just go buy pitching. Someone should just hit the easy button.
  14. Fatbat
    Luzardo isn’t leaving Miami until Otani plays 1B for a few months in Dodger blue and finds out his pitching career is over… and thats the trade.
  15. Fatbat
    If Manoah’s shoulder is shredded and his career is likely over, he isn’t even tradable and Toronto’s med staff would have to disclose what they know and all the imaging they have taken of it. My assumption is that he is fixable and if thats the case, trading 2 yrs of polo for 3-5 years of Manoah is a no brainer. Just do it and fix the him.
  16. Fatbat
    I’m very impressed with ownership and the union working together to pay the young players that perform the best!! WOW! I’m just gonna venture a guess that the formula is pretty simple. Specified award$ + (Bwar + Fwar) / 2 = total bonus paid down til the $$$ runs out. 🥸
  17. Fatbat
    Great story. Its a win for everyone and I would be surprised if something like this isn’t done soon!
  18. Fatbat
    It sure would be nice to have an extra $10M-20M to magically appear to help pay for a front line SP. I understand why people want to ship Vasquez and Polo or Farmer to accomplish that but it is so very nice to have the depth that we do have on this team. Inevitably, all three will likely be gone by 2025 ST so it’s literally just sit back and see where they go and what we get back. In the meantime, I will never understand why the bullet isn’t bitten first and just buy the player you want/need and then make the trades to fit the budget.

    Potentially 2023 was top 10 buttttt…… 2024 will beat it out!
  20. Fatbat
    Easy math is subtracting 7-10 M (vet) and adding 25M for a #2 pitcher and the payroll is still at 135 to 138M. It can’t be that hard can it?
  21. Fatbat
    Don’t we still have Dobnak in AAA? He could eat innings.
  22. Fatbat
    If we have a rash of OF injuries and Erod is tearing up AA. I can see a way that the break glass OF is called up. It’s about a 2% chance but he is on the 40 man so ya never know. Martin should’ve been on the list and I hope Canterino is in the bigs come June!
  23. Fatbat
    Miranda was injured and eventually shut down. I would throw out his slump. Gordon slumped and then shut down due to a broken leg… thats a bigger concern. Julien can be anything that he sets his sights on since he has flashed some incredible talent. No way he has peaked and no way he is traded unless its a substantial over priced buy from a club giving away and ace SP.
  24. Fatbat
    Yeah, that 3.2war in 100+ RP innings that we didn’t get from Hoffman and Coulombe really hurt but it will probably come back to us in 2024 with a bunch of innings thrown by the guys we still have. Anything is better than the Addison Reed debacle.
  25. Fatbat
    Or it could mean they only intend to do a trade if the right one comes around. Subtract out the traded away contract and add $20M for the new front line SP and $27-30M buys you alot of SP.
