    If give Davis a shot no doubt though, he is prob due, what 4 mil next season through arb? Send the mets a non prospect and roll The dice. I'd still sigh morneau for another 4 mil for insurance though.
  2. DaveW
    People need to remember that Chris Davis was the exception...not the rule
  3. DaveW
    I don't see how Mobility is so low..other than Correia and Willingham the roster is basically made up of young cheap players. Obviously you have Mauer, but I wouldn't call him old and immovable. Hell, even Willingham could be moved and if Correia pitches like he did this year he is worth the money as well. The majors is obviously a mess, but what is really nice is the 40+ million the Twins could technically be free to spend this off-season

    WAR is a terrible statistic to use on its own. Also your piazza example is obviously flawed.
  5. DaveW
    Assuming he doesn't fall off a cliff he is a lock.

    I have 250 reasons not to root for the Twins to lose...more than 95 games.

    Mauers usage this year was perfect, they should aim for it again next year. Also if they were competitive I am pretty sure he would be back in the lineup, but since they are 20 games out there is a reason to use an abundance of caution
  8. DaveW
    Hrbek, but when it's all said and done morneau should have his number retired.

    If you are going to kick in 2 million in cash in the deal, you prob need to get a prospect who is at least worth a million to make it even close to worth it. I don't see the pirates giving up a top ten prospect just bc the twins kicked in some money.

    Arcia, Mauer, Pelfrey and some of the bullpen are reasons to watch and be excited as well. Additionally if hammer can start hitting again it gives some hope for 2014 as well.

    It's hilarious how people just like to paint TR to be some bumbling idiot. "Well why didnt he ask for a better player?????" Yes clearly a guy with the success and background like Ryan would just happen to forget to ask for the best package possible
  12. DaveW
    I suspect it's the PTBNL or cash in the same sense it was for Drew Butera....
  13. DaveW
    You guys are the worst lol, everyone is clamoring for the twins to trade morneau, they finally do and everyone hates it. The fact that nobody claimed morneau in the first place shows what was his true trade value. Who knows, maybe the PTBNL will be halfway decent like before? It's not like Ryan had a ton of options or anything....
  14. DaveW
    Maybe the PTBNL options KC were floating were garbage? Ryan knows what he is doing. Carroll had zero value and no reason to be on this team. If the "options" weren't worth even taking a flier on, you might as well just take the cash. At the end of the day, who cares? The way I look at it, we traded Caroll and butera and got a pretty decent prospect in return, that is a net win in my book.
  15. DaveW
    Buxton will be #1, Sano will be #2
  16. DaveW
    Willingham+Deunsing+Wimmers+Pat Dean+Plouffe for Macahado Straight up.
  17. DaveW
    I said it before and will say it again. Nothing good can happen it you promote Sano this sept
  18. DaveW
    Of course some of those guys will flame out, but several hopefully will not, and the twins will have 70 mil+ to "fill the holes" that is how you build a winner
  19. DaveW
    Um, pretty sure the guys in AA have plenty to play for, and that of course is the potential to get promoted to the major leagues in the future.
  20. DaveW
    I would keep Mauer right where he is currently, I think he has done a great job with the youngsters.
  21. DaveW
    It is really nice to see the Twins with so little payroll obligations next year, and even more so in 2015. This team absolutely needs to make a big splash in FA over the next two years. I'm not saying they need to go give a 7 year 150 mil contract, but they need a few multi year 30-50 million deals to supplement the youngsters coming up IMO.
  22. DaveW
    I think you have to give Gardy one or two more years, it's not his fault they haven't had one freaking legit starting pitcher the past 3 years
  23. DaveW
    LOL, if that is what you consider a personal attack.I am glad an otherwise potentially solid thread just got hijacked again due to a person making an outrageous claim and then 30 other posts discussing it.
  24. DaveW
    It's a lottery ticket. I don't see the harm in offering him a 1 mil deal with incentives if there is even a 50% chance he will be able to pitch.
  25. DaveW
    Yes, clearly all the sports since baseball was created included no fighting. UFC for instance which was popularized within the past decade includes no such violence. Also, a manager tackling another manager is hardly "fighting", if it bothers you so much, simply don't watch. It's actually pretty darn rare for a baseball player (or manager) to actually connect a punch to another player or manager. A bit off topic, but something that bugs the hell out of me: Some other sports are wayyyyy to PC these days, I have heard about T-ball, Coach Pitch, basketball and soccer leagues for younger kids that don't even keep score these days...do you think that is the way to raise kids and teach them sports? That there is no such thing as a winner and a loser. That everybody at the end of a day is a "winner" and that you should never try to improve yourself/team? Seems like a terrible way to fail to teach youngsters about failure and how to deal with/overcome it later in life. Ditto with all the extreme anti-bullying crap going on, I get that bad bullying has no place, but to protect kids from adversity at all costs is not going to benefit them in the long run. /end rant //Dougie M for MOY!!!!
