    The Hughes contract sure stinks without that it would be a lot easier to sign a top pitcher. Not much next year, money to sign Harper!!! funny thought.
  2. Winston Smith
    Bet the Yankees would take him for 3B but probably wouldn't give up much. I'm sure his trade value is down a lot right now. If he stays, which is likely, he has some serious image rehab to do this spring.

    I sure hope Gold Gloves are not used by HOF voters to asses players. Probably the worst most meaningless award offered, imo.
  4. Winston Smith
    I hope he retires. As you point out 36+ yr olds are few and even fewer are the ones that produce. He doesn't need the money and the Twins have guys that can take the spot.

    It's hard to expend much energy thinking about the off season to this point.
  6. Winston Smith
    Hope they are drinking plenty of fluids so they don't cramp up.
  7. Winston Smith
    But, but the Twins have the inside track on players coming over from Norway and Sweden. Who wants sushi when you can get lutefisk?
  8. Winston Smith
    I'm fairly sure it wasn't him but his agents. Nice way to get a book on nearly all the teams for future neg. He likely has always had a small list of teams he'd go to but his agents are milking this for all it's worth, imo.
  9. Winston Smith
    Can he row a boat?

    On a MLB Network roundtable yesterday they were really high on Santana for whatever that's worth.
  11. Winston Smith
    Any proof that he took roids? Wonder why they haven't dropped Hughes from the 40 man, could only hope somebody claimed him.
  12. Winston Smith
    People have Vikings expectations? Odd you'd think they'd know better by now.
  13. Winston Smith
    It could work if you rotated Mauer and Santana at 1B and DH. Santana certainly is better than Grossman. Mauer could probably use more DH time as he gets older. Problem would be if Sano isn't ready to play in the field, move him back to RF? (joke). The Indians are kind of up against salary limits I've read so they may not have the money to re-sign him

    Kepler had an ops of .453 against LH pitching so Werth D could be a little sub-par and still be a big plus. If he is used right he could be worth it. Rosario isn't as bad but still not good. If not Werth somebody like him is a good idea.

    By most accounts Dozier is not an above average fielder but yet he wins. This award is a joke. Buxton is likely to really earn 8-10 of these things, his winning is not a joke.
  16. Winston Smith
    I'd like them to spend the money on JD Martinez who could replace both Grossman and Vargas. RF against LH pitching and DH the other days and he would really round out the lineup batting behind or in front of Sano, imo. Would be really strange to see them spend that kind of money when they are close.

    MYTH #1: The Twins will significantly increase payroll. I think you default to the "won't" until proven otherwise. MYTH #2: The Twins need to add an impact starting pitcher. I think nearly every team would like to add an impact starter. MYTH #3: Buxton's speed is real not "mythical".

    I would change this a little; 1. Can't have too many ​good ​pitchers. 2. Can't have too many good pitchers. 3. Can't have too many good pitchers. 4. Can't have too many good pitchers. 5. Can't have too many good pitchers.

    Time has proved it to be a BS award, no sense getting upset about more BS!
  20. Winston Smith
    I think they can both wait and see what they do next year.
  21. Winston Smith
    I'd rather see them spend the money and maybe lose a draft pick than trade several prospects for pitching. However, I'd like them to spend what it takes to sign JD Martinez first then go after some mid range starting pitching.
  22. Winston Smith
    I wonder how much Alex Cobb will cost? He's decent and 2 yrs away from surgery and pitched well this year. Trade rumor has him getting something like Santana got. If he gets a QO his market could be real small. Anyone know what pick the Twins would give up for singing QO'd free agent?
  23. Winston Smith
    I think I'd trade Rosario for Archer, seems like an even up trade. Hard to tell what kind of prospect package it would take.
  24. Winston Smith
    I could see making a trade for Julio Teheran (his value is down) and taking Kemp as a salary dump from the Braves. Kemp is only owed about 15m hard to find a power type bat DH for that. Taking Kemp would likely mean Teheran would cost less in prospects. The hope, of course, would be getting Teheran out of the bandbox in Atl. would get him back to being a decent starter. Getting out of Atl might also mean Kemp stinks not sure it's worth the chance but if you make a trade for Kemp try to get some pitching with him.

    You aren't getting Darvish for $120M.
