    A player earned the number being retired. The teams waiting years to retire the number are waiting for what? If the player earned it they shouldn't have to wait.

    Hicks would have been tanking his first year as a Yankee.

    Pomeranze had a great 2017, a good 2016. Injuries seem to derail him. Guessing which of Buchholz or Pmeranz would hold up for a season is a poor bet. As minimal wage fliers that would be fine. Counting on them for a season would not be a building sort of move.

    There were only two good long term options to begin with.

    The front office was still adding multi million dollar contracts in spring training to get to last years high payroll. In terms of trusted sources I do remember a deal a few years ago was going to be done in 24 hours bringing back multiple prospects for Dozier. Mud repeated.

    Duensing syndrome?

    After Harper there would be hoping Brantley could stay healthy or players that hope they can overcome old age.

    From the where are we now thread there was the report they were looking at the medicals and dollars of 3-4 players. To those curious as to who those players were, they found out 2 of them. The aged and aging veteran MI available and preferred by many here would be more likely to be looking for security in a contract. Length is security. With Gordon and Lewis coming it is not unreasonable for the front office to look at one year players. A one year player in free agency is going to have a few warts. For Schoop it is a slightly lower than average OBP but he has a higher woba for is career. Woba, if the stat guys are correct, is a little more indicative of runs scoring than OBP Schoop having a bounce back year or better will be adequate at 2b. He likely will not be as good as Murphy or Lowrie, but his contract reflects that. If they use the money to sign back end RP rather than 5th inning players hoping to be back end pitchers the club will be ahead. That was IF.

    Live long and prosper. You will need to waiting for Portland to get an MLB team. Portland did not support the PCL team. Considering there wasn't that big of drop in attendance for a northwest league team located in the remote suburb, the chances of getting a team with a fan base of 3-4 thousand people is remote. About as remote as the Twins signing Harper and Machado.

    Simply put the report says something they have done.. It may reflect all they are going to do, it may not. It all depends on how you choose to see it. They brought in a lot of players last year. Given their ages Cruz and Lowrie may well be 1 year signings with options

    The Twins asking for medicals and $ for 3-4 players looks like bullpen and MI fishing. They could be looking at players in need of a rebound year to increase their value. Any of the non tendered players also might fit this description.

    To reach a record payroll the FO signed a team record number of free agents Of that group the bargain basement Duke had the best season. Complaining about total payroll spending is missing the issue. The Twins could have a record payroll and be worse than 2018 if the money is not well spent.

    no he had1 great season, pedro florimon away from Coors field
  15. old nurse
    It means that he was overused 3 seasons.

    Reed has pitched a lot of games per year. Most pitchers break under that load. The hard part is knowing when.
  17. old nurse
    It is hard to have an intelligent conversation with that sort of hyperbole like the TSA bit. I do not know what security has prevented or stopped. I don't see much publicity on that. You do hear about incidents with loss of life. Knowing only a little is not terribly useful for making broad judgements.

    Simple is like yes/no Simplistic Security inside a stadium will not make it safer.

    Goldshmidt would be nice. One year of him is worth a prospect better than a comp pick. Two or three high risk high reward prospects will be the likely return if he is dealt to a non contender. As far as Carlos Santana as plan B goes Tyler Austin has a chance to provide what Santana has done the last 2 years. I do not think they would deal for Santana. Austin was brought in for a purpose other than to save a couple million dollars.

    Relievers are different than position players on the aging curve.

    Yoor response showed that you make a simple question a hard one.
  22. old nurse
    It was a simple yes/no question. Nothing more until you made it so.
  23. old nurse
    So they should wait until there is an event to have security?

    http://www.wholehogsports.com/news/2018/nov/15/sources-wes-johnson-leave-arkansas-twins/ “If you get into biomechanics, you find out really fast that a pitcher cannot repeat his delivery," Johnson told WholeHogSports in 2017. "You’ve got over 600 muscles in the body. To think that the roughly 240 that we use in pitching are going to fire at the same time - you’ve got a better chance at winning the lottery. TrackMan gives me a chance to show guys a consistent release height and some things we can repeat." Johnson has spent the past two seasons with the Razorbacks and has been credited with the development of several high-round draft picks and prospects, including Blaine Knight, Trevor Stephan, Kacey Murphy, Isaiah Campbell and Matt Cronin.

    Given the FO's apparent aversion to age there is little chance of them signing these players or trading for Santana
