  1. Mike the money isn't spent until the season starts. They can have Cron in training camp and owe him very little if they let him go part way thru camp. The $5MM is not spent money.
  2. It's the end of November! Redundancy will be figured out in March. The money means nothing until sometime in spring training.
  3. One tool player OBP and nothing else. No speed, no defense, no arm and no power.
  4. Mauer had an OPS+ of 99 while Cron had 123. He'll make less than 25% of the money, so what's the problem? If he doesn't work out it's only a very small amout of money invested.
  5. I would think this is the end of Grossman.
  6. Because he can't handle the bright lights and big city. He pitches like crap in NY and good away. 6.98 era at home, 3.17 away.
  7. So you're saying the Pohlads don't need food stamps?
  8. The big question is "if he can be counted on". The last 3 seasons he's ave. 100 games.
  9. Do you really want to go into the season hoping that Sano is a full time anything? Has he shown that he can be depended on? Get a real 3B and let Sano play 1B/DH, much easier spot to find a decent/replacement level fill in..
  10. The Twins are well known for taking on salary that others won't so you are saying it's a done deal?
  11. I think I'd rather have Moose who plays 3B where we only have an iffy Sano. His bat is close to what Santana does and wouldn't need a trade and likely costs less. I just don't think they can count on Sano, fool me once type thing and Sano can play 1B or DH if he shows anything.
  12. The Athletic only costs 4 bucks a month, well worth it. Dan Hayes has been doing a really nice job so far on the Twins.
  13. As an unwritten rule I'd stay away from NL starting pitchers.
  14. I disagree. If the bullpen is managed properly there shouldn't be a need for 8 relievers and it would give the Manager more FLEXABILITY if he has the extra bench player.
  15. This may be the first time anyone has exaggerated on Twins daily. I hope this doesn't become a trend.
  16. According to Fangraphs Polanco was one of the worst defensive SS in MLB. Lets get a good defensive SS and move Polanco to 2b where his defense isn't such a negative.
  17. I bet Riverbrian would do a great job!
  18. Maybe until the first time he sac bunts in the first.
  19. Now get him some better players. Don't go into the season hoping Buxton and Sano turn things around because, fool me once...… If those guys do turn it around make it icing on the cake. Get some better players stop with the mediocre!!!
  20. I want a manager who will post an intro for the game thread with witty informative BS (ala Riverbrian) and is good at math (analytics) but not in the game thread. Being nice to Seth would be a plus.
  21. I'm happy for him and his family. He always seemed like a good guy when he was with the Twins.
  22. Really "a big mistake"? Don't you think he and his agent are smart enough to make the correct decision for him and his family? It isn't always, just mostly, about money.
