    The times we live in. "No one is perfect," Darvish wrote. "That includes both you and I. What he had done today isn't right, but I believe we should put our effort into learning rather than to accuse him. If we can take something for this, this is a giant step for mankind. Since we are living in such a wonderful world, let's stay positive and move forward instead of focusing on anger. I'm counting on everyone's big love."

    A J Alexey may be the first one dropped

    There seems to be a lack of supply from one of the pipelines. No international free agents listed. The first 2 years of international signings by this FO and none developed enough to be protected. Nor selected in rule V

    The FO thought so highly O’Day Wisler they let him go. The Rays dud the same thing.

    Trade Values are an opinion. Projection models on individuals is inaccurate, defensive measures are inaccurate. Bat for an arm is always a good trade as year to year statistics will show that good arms are tougher to find 14 and 16 different starting pitchers used the last two years shows the need for quantity. In any given year there are only about 50-60 pitchers that accumulate 2.5 fWAR. Quality is a premium.

    Berrios would not negotiate an extension. Trading him was the only option. If not traded he would now be gone for nothing but a late first round pick. SWR did make an appearance last year

    2 were traded for. I was specific for a reason as signed by the Twins. Much easier to judge talent a few seasons in the minors

    There are three players on the 40 man roster that were IFA signed by the Twins. There are 3 IFA signed by the Twins as IFA on the top 30 list on MLB.com. Maybe their luck will change with these signings.

    When someone comes out with analysis of the data available to show the effect of the shift ban you can pass judgement on Kepler and Gallo There is another month for the Twins to make trades, and do the bullpen gem mining. So far they have a better catcher. Pretty much the difference will be relative health of the team and bounce backs from injury.

    There is no one way. Vlad Guerro Jr, Sano, Severino and Wander Javier. All big ticket, 4 different outcomes

    Anderson with the Mets, Zaidi with the Giants are analytics guys. The long contracts were to get him in the door, the medical reports were to get a saner contract. Middle infielders break down early. Ozzie Smith was elite until 38, Jeter 36, Lou Witaker about that same time period.. Most start declining about 32. In my opinion they were playing to the greed of Boras

    The wonderment of people’s perspective

    Nothing over or underpriced for the players they are

    Well, the Twins began as the Washington Senators and back in the day they had this fella named Joe Cronin. So for franchise history the bar got set a little higher.
  15. old nurse
    Because more than likely that is what is up for bids
  16. old nurse
    The new Brian Duensing well, not really a deal sweetener but more like cheap vinegar or Fox Deluxe
  17. old nurse
    Any team that trades for Kepler I would think that it would be a contending team trying to plug a hole in the outfield. He has 2 years of control left. That is not really a building block for a developing team. Larnach, Kirriloff, Arraez or even Wallner would be something a team could build around.

    Justin Morneau would not argue baserunning is dangerous when I had hardware put in my ankle they told me eventually it was going to deteriorate. That was 40 years ago
  19. old nurse
    In terms of the position players I could of sworn it was a list of players you wanted to see in St Paul
  20. old nurse
    The Twins had a base running guru. They fired him. They need to send Celestine to a hitting school if there is one. The coaching here does not seem to help
  21. old nurse
    2018 was Sale’s last good year. Who was the last player to come back after 4 non seasons to be elite for 2 more years
  22. old nurse
    Spend money on twilight players. It did not work in the 90s for Ryan
  23. old nurse
    Coming off the season that was a lot of players have something to prove. The order is easily obtained. Go by salary. It is incumbent upon the 7 and 8 figure players to play p. Remember when 6 figures was astronomical?
  24. old nurse
    100 % are still breathing. That is individual success. What you are calling success to get 80% is a mystery to me.
  25. old nurse
    Other teams would engage Boras on a contract. Signing one is a different matter. I would suppose Boston could be a landing spot. It will probably be less money and years but it is not the teams that backed out of their offers even though it was the reasonable thing to do for the clubs
