    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.
  2. Winston Smith
    Well he doubled his pay so it can't hurt that bad.

    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.

    They are worth whatever someone will pay them. A lot of teams need help and the free agent list is thin so players will likely get paid well this winter. Will they spend big? I really don't think it's in Jim Pohlads dna. Maybe a few smaller signings but nothing big, imo. Martinez is the only one I'd spend big on.

    I'm afraid 4 for 60 is the new 4 for 48. Prices aren't staying the same as they were 3-4 years ago. With most teams needing pitching the group of mid rotation guys (Lynn and Cobb) is very thin so the demand will be high.

    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'm willing to accept, after reading the comments, that his Dr's probably know more about this than any of us. So I'll hope for a speedy recovery at wait until spring to worry about all the side stuff. Good luck with this!

    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.

    Manny Acta and Sandy Alomar have a Clev./Falvey connection.

    Joe Girardi? Ron Washington?

    Sad day in pitch to contact land.
  13. Winston Smith
    Time has proved it to be a BS award, no sense getting upset about more BS!
  14. Winston Smith
    I bet the Yankees are sorry they didn't snap up Gardy before the Tigers got him.
  15. Winston Smith
    I don't think the problem there is the players but it's the owner. Still a very good team even after Harper leaves, imo.
  16. Winston Smith
    I think they can both wait and see what they do next year.
  17. 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.
  18. 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?
  19. 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.
  20. Winston Smith
    What does your guarantee pay us if you're wrong?
  21. Winston Smith
    Yes!
  22. 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.
  23. Winston Smith
    You aren't getting Darvish for $120M.
  24. Winston Smith
    Not a good comp Seth. Torre took over a very good playoff team. Gardy is taking over the worst team in the league, just starting a re-build with a middling farm system.
  25. Winston Smith
    Hope he is happier losing there, he certainly didn't appear to handle all the losing here well. Of course, most of us didn't. Sorry Gardy, I hope the Tigers re-build takes a long time.
