    We traded a bad expensive pitcher if we're actually looking at his stats and contract. Had we signed Berrios we wouldn't have Correa. Would we have been better last year with Berrios or Correa? What about going forward? I argue trading Berrios for something rather than letting him walk because they weren't going to give him $100M was the obvious and correct move. We also did see SWR at the end of last season and he looks to be a mid rotation starter, assuming he continues to progress.
  2. AlGoreRythm
    You do realize Arraez has already missed time in multiple season for his knees at 25, whereas Correa had never missed time for his ankle in 7 seasons... Obviously comparing apples and oranges here.
  3. AlGoreRythm
    Have you looked at Berrios numbers last year? He was awful. Even with Austin Martin's bad season that trade is looking quite good.

    I agree with everything you've got here other than Larnach's defense. Larnach and Gallo seem to have very similar defensive profiles. They're massive guys whose size almost masks their athleticism. They're both able to make plays up against the wall that smaller defenders can't get to without climbing it. The defense doesn't look flashy because they appear to be big plodding guys, but their size often make plays look more routine than they'd be for other players because of their height and reach. From what I saw of a healthy Larnach the past 2 seasons give me confidence that with more reps at Target Field, he'll provide Kepler level defense, with a better plate approach. Totally agree with the Celestino analysis and the plan for Lewis on his return.

    Why on earth would you mess with success regarding Duran? He was one of the top 3 relievers last year, if not the very best. He's had issues staying healthy as a starter in the minors and it was pretty obvious last season that his velocity ticks up a couple MPH when he's coming out of the pen rather than starting. Trying to make him into a starter again seems like a recipe for the IL and we certainly need him at the bank end of the bullpen. Without him there we'll end up seeing a lot more Pagan than anyone wants.

    Forgive me but your claim that certain podcast hosts are unbiased yet assuming anything on social media cannot be true even when it's posted by the guy we're talking about is just silly. Guess what, those podcasters almost certainly took that survey on social media. Not that it matters because it's obviously still a self selected sample of fans who took the survey. It's not scientific, it's a survey. Not a fact in any way. We aren't talking about getting news from social media, we're talking about his specific posts, actions, videos, opinions, etc that show him for who he is. Those matter whether or not you care to pay attention to it. My point is that you are forming your opinion without all the information and actually seem to reject the idea of seeking out all the information. Guess we can all be glad the Twins haven't hired you to do their due diligence.

    This would be a VERY narrow, self selected sample size of Dodger fans. Obviously not a fact nor anything that can actually be measured. How can anyone tell you what most Dodger fans want? I would certainly want to search out more information about what most Dodger fans want before forming an opinion. And probably would want to check on what Bauer's activities on social media amount to before deciding how open I was to bringing him in. My guess is the Twins and most teams ARE aware of those activities and will likely choose not to deal with his toxicity, and rightly so.

    None of those moves individually or all together make near the impact Correa made last year. It also leaves like $20M on the table from last year's payroll. Hell, you could probably do most of that AND sign Correa and not be far from last year's payroll. And remember, the question was "how do they spend the money?" The "internal options" at SS are all question marks at best. I wouldn't consider Farmer a "stable veteran" as much as a utility man who can play SS if needed. You're worried about Correa's metal plate? What about Lewis' ACL that's been torn twice? Does that make you think he's a sure thing to play SS in the MLB? I'd need to see more once he comes back before assuming he's the SS of the future. Lee has spent half a year playing professionally and I doubt if even the Twins have a good idea if he can play SS at a Major League level. Correa plays SS at an elite level and has been consistently elite throughout his major league career. Not only do you know what you're getting with him, unlike the options laid out above, but you're getting at worst a top 5 SS. Likely for the first half of a 10 year contract anyway. Your idea is certainly a possibility, and probably all of it's more likely than Correa returning to the Twins, but does any of that add wins let alone replace Correa's 4 WAR from last season? Not even close. Correa is basically the only way they can add wins without trading away player capital at this point.
  9. AlGoreRythm
    Are you talking free agency? Who's left you'd want to spend that money on? Other than free agency, how exactly do they spend the money? I'm fully aware you're not into the idea of bringing Correa back, but where and how do you think this money can be spent in a more impactful way? There's no one left in the free agent market I'd want them to sign and the only other way to bring in impact talent is trades, which is almost certain to amount to spending talent capital (either major league talent or farm talent) rather than just money. How do they spend the money?
  10. AlGoreRythm
    They literally replaced the head trainer as one of their first staffing moves this off-season. They also were probably not looking deeply into medical issues that could be an issue down the road 10 years in his 1-3 years contract.
  11. AlGoreRythm
    This is possibly the worst analogy I've read on this site. What you're saying is you'd rather have a worse shortstop that makes references to things you're familiar with, which is dumb.
  12. AlGoreRythm
    If you were him, then he'd be you, and he'd use your body to make silly comments about taking less money. Be honest with yourself for a second and you know you'd take the best financial option, which is more money over more years.
  13. AlGoreRythm
    His defense has been decent but certainly not incredible. He's had some very good plays, some that looked better than they were due to his lack of range, and quite a few plays that should've been made but we're either outside his limited range or just bobbled/dropped/knocked down. He's far from a butcher, but certainly not anywhere near incredible or gold glove status. For reference, Baseball Savant had his ’22 Outs Above Average as -5 at 3rd this year
  14. AlGoreRythm
    I want them to move on from Urshela simply because I can't stand his walk-up song at bat...
  15. AlGoreRythm
    No way that's possible. I'd take whatever odds you offer on that bet. You're relying on the possibility the Nats would offer a huge deal to Correa. Nats wanted to sign Soto to that deal because he's like 23-24. Correa is 28-29. A deal like Soto's would carry Correa through the end of his career in all likelihood. He's good at a premium position, but would that be the expectation for the entirety of a contract like that for Correa throughout his 30's? Unlikely. 5 extra years of his 20's is why they offered Soto the deal they did.

    I find the write up very humorous. It isn't subtle, but it does a great job of joking about those confused over very simple issues of public health and not so simple issues of conspiratorial thinking and being aggrieved over anything that makes them uncomfortable.
  17. AlGoreRythm
    After the 2 strange seasons, that sounds like a recipe for injured pitchers...
  18. AlGoreRythm
    Sorry dude, no offense, but please proof read before posting or use grammarly or something. I couldn't even finish reading this because of all the spelling and typographical errors throughout.

    I was on of the few that saw this happen, along with 3 of my grade school friends and my father. He brought us as my belated 13th birthday party and we each took turns sitting in the yellow seat where Puckett's HR landed from Game 6 in '91. The game was not televised either, if memory serves, so it was much more momentous to see it happen than I could really fathom at 13. However it's one of the childhood memories I cherish most. Even kept the ticket stubs!
