    Last 2 years Bader, Columba and Santana outperformed their contracts. 3 other contracts were minimal wage player. France was better than expected. There is no problem

    How would you know they are not talking to players now?

    The Twins hav.e 2 frontline starters, a 4 WAR player in Buxton a 3 in Jeffers they need to have Jeffers be a 4. He seems capable of being that. Now that he no longer has rookie status there is just pessimism thrown his way. If there was a closer that would be a strong core SWR last year was what suffices as a fourth starter What will determine if the season is to have success , beyond those. 4s health is the uncertainties. There is the comeback kid. Does Ober come back to what he was before last year. There was a blogger here who claimed he could be Cy Young worthy There are the 2 maybe brothers in Lewis and Wallner. Maybe they will put it together, maybe they wont. Both are capable of playing a great game, just not last year. There is the mystery three. Which 3 starters are going to the failed starters at the back of the bullpen. There are the 4 mirages. As in was that a mirage and will it be back? 4 pitcher mirages in Prielipp’s relative health, Funderburk’s post deadline pitching, Topa and Sands competent years. The 4 position player mirages would be Martin after the deadline, the new catcher’s season last year, Jullian’s rookie season and Clemen’s existence. A good start to the season may be essential, but it will not help for deadline additions if they are contending

    The Orioles need front line starters. Plural. Also middle of rotation. Would the Orioles be signing a 1B if they thought the M and M boys were going to be 2-4 WAR first basemen would they be signing Alonso? There is as good of reason as any to not. Give up anything of value for either one of them.

    You do not like that you are called out on not understanding that it was the reserve clause which allowed Calvin to keep the players he liked because there was no competition for their services. Quit trying to twist things to fit your agenda. This is after you say I should quit trying so hard on my posting. That is the funny part of your posting. Along with the words in caps.

    Fried,, Snell, and Burnes contracts last year compared to Scott, Trienen and Estevez’s contrives. Yup relief pitching is as important as starting when you look at the dollars spent. Fried’s contract alone might be more than what was spent on all of the relievers signed last year. A reliever with a five year history of being injured every year manages to stay healthy for 4 months with limited use was only going to bring back an extremely low chance lottery ticket. People can quit whining about the return for Stewart

    If they were doing just to make a profit, the roster would be all pre arb through. Arb 1-2 players. There would be no need for half the coaches they hire nor 3/4 of the front office.

    The Polanco trade. The centerpiece or reason for the trade always depends on the point the author wishes to make.
  9. old nurse
    You are the one making the big deal out of players staying and made a big deal out of that the team stayed together in the 60s. They had a choice, play for the Twins or don’t play at all. That is a far cry from 6 years of control. The money is different, too. Yes , you are right that II try so hard to get you to see how much you miss. I t is a futile endeavor. Do me a favor and just mute me

    Mouncastle’s arb estimate is 7.8m. 5–7m accepted? Off his last year’s production maybe. Opt outs do not benefit a team unless they are hoping for a 1 year deal. If the player gets worse, the team suffers, if they get better, they are gone
  11. old nurse
    Mountcastle could neither hit nor field last year. France could field SWR might be an overpay for Mayo. SWR would be about their third best SP whereas Mayo is extra in AAA. With the dearth of. SP, SWR is worth mmore than a AAA player

    AI can’t be blamed for not understanding the reserve clause allowed teams to keep players

    A player who didn’t recover from shoulder surgery isn’t the answer, either.
  14. old nurse
    Only if his shoulder is healed. His throw in seriously declined last year
  15. old nurse
    Yup, moving over to 2b will cure all of Brooks Lee’s issues. The range he is said to lack will be cured

    The no new names by early December is a problem worth complaining about?
  17. old nurse
    That has nothing to do with fine motor control.
  18. old nurse
    The reserve clause made it so a team could stay together.. The player had 2 choices. Play for the team that owned their rights or retire. Play for what they pay you, or retire. Battey retired after the 67 season, Zoilo was picked by the padres from the Dodgers in the expansion draft Rollins was selected by the Seattle Pilots in the expansion draft
  19. old nurse
    Easier versus harder was not the issue. Fine motor control is.

    According to Forbes data from 24, the twins revenue per fan is$50 a spike in attendance would have to be quite large to afford a 20m player
  21. old nurse
    The good teams in the 60s and 70s had the reserve clause. Gagne, Gladden, Puckett and Hrbek were the only continuity in the championship teams
  22. old nurse
    There are very few tall people with fine motor control. They usually play basketball.
  23. old nurse
    The odds increase to about 25% with one commonality that Rodriguez, Gonzales , Jenkins and Culpepper have.
  24. old nurse
    Yet every year there are rookies that rake
  25. old nurse
    Maybe the problem was, and another coach. Later with the same fate, the player’s ears
