    I agree that RBI is still a very important stat. You looked a lot at runner on 3rd but I would like to see stats with runner on 2nd and how effective guys are. I personally like Abreu but don't think I would spend a huge contract on him, due mainly to his age and lack of defense, & position he plays.

    I hate the "M" caps! Keep the TC logo! Its traditional a lot like baseball is!

    AK has a lot to prove. To unseat a gold glove finalist at 1B is going to take much better health and some progress at the plate.
  4. Karbo
    You can take Cave off your list as he was claimed I think. I like a lot of your blueprint, though I would be concerned that they don't have the long relief (2-3 innings every 2-3 days) to get through the short starts of 5 or less innings.
  5. Karbo
    I can live with our starters IF we get at least 2 bullpen guys that can go 2-3 quality innings every other day!
  6. Karbo
    the only concern I have is how much he wore down last year as a starter/regular. Maybe playing DH more will help keep him fresh. I think 5/60 would get it done and be fair.
  7. Karbo
    I agree 100%. I can also addon a bit; Miranda said he will work with Correa on his fielding over the winter so should see some improvement. Polanco played hurt most of the year according to reports. Get him healthy should be improvement Management needs to do a much better job teaching and working on basic fundamentals of defense much more in ST, than they have in the past

    How do you plan around the unexpected? The Twins would be negligent to write Maeda's name in ink as a member of their rotation. If this is the way management feels, they will need 4-5 more starters. They can't count on anyone when it comes to injury. Seems to me they all carry risk, with some much more risk than Maeda!

    I hate to see Urshela go and don't think they got enough for him. However, they certainly need a guy like Farmer that can play decent defense AND hit leftys!
  10. Karbo
    I agree that its hard to give a lot of money to a 5 inning starter unless the guy is total lights out. The question I have is the limited innings on Gray because of his ability to get guys out 3rd and 4th time through, or is it on management following some sort of plan for all starters? If its the former it decreases his value, if its the latter we better get used to seeing younger, unproven starters or older guys in our rotation. The top dogs have an ego to fill and that isn't going 5 and fly!
  11. Karbo
    I believe Farmer is the insurance policy at ss. If they can't sign one of the big $$ guys. Otherwise he can be a Garlick type with a better glove.
  12. Karbo
    He did very well for his rookie season once he adjusted to MLB pitchers vs MiLB pitchers. He's hit at AAA & AA. No reason to worry about him adjusting to the pitching adjustments against him.
  13. Karbo
    Depending on cost I could see him at a corner OF spot for 2-3 mil. Wouldn't go much higher than that though.
  14. Karbo
    It sure seems to me like injuries are a major issue threw out the whole Twins system.
  15. Karbo
    I don't count on this coaching staff to "fix" anything or anyone. The article talks how he was in the strike zone, but there is a HUGE difference between good location in the zone, and meatballs in the zone. Pagan threw a lot of meatballs in the zone. Is that really the kind of command a team needs to be a decent reliever?
  16. Karbo
    I really wish him well. He had so much potential and then just kind of vaporized. Maybe got to hung up on swing plane or just swinging to hard? If he goes somewhere that can help him he will be a nice, cheap pick up.
  17. Karbo
    I'm with many others who can't believe they kept Pagan.
  18. Karbo
    Sorry to see him go. Don't know much about the pitcher we got back, but I was hoping for a little better than 1 A ball pitcher.
  19. Karbo
    Urshela has much better numbers than Rosario had. IMHO the Twins would be foolish not to sign him. I like the idea of moving him back to ss if they can't sign C4. Pagan must go.
  20. Karbo
    If I'm running the FO I go after Correa as #1 need. I like Rodon but I feel a very good ss is the most important add at this time. As a side note, I see many folks saying they think Maeda needs to move to the pen. As I remember, the FO has some sort of agreement with him to be a starter, which he prefers. Correct me if I'm wrong.
  21. Karbo
    Most of the folks that comment on here seem to have a lot more trust in AK than I have. I truly hope he can bounce back health wise, but after 2 consecutive years of injury, I just can't count him in.
  22. Karbo
    Signing Abreu at that price would be a firm no for me. I would not trade Lee as he looks like a budding super star. But I like the idea of trying to find other options to trade for Woodruff or Burnes. Not completely sold on Narvaez, but at the right price, and depending on any other options would be OK.
  23. Karbo
    IMHO just do whatever it takes to re-sign him. He is a true pro and the Twins are short on those.
  24. Karbo
    I like the idea of having a set closer. A shut down type like Duran. Then a couple RH setup guys with a LH setup guy, where 1 of the 3 is capable of closing in a pinch. Then add 2 long relievers, (in a perfect world 1 RH & 1 LH) that leave room for a couple of mid inning guys with at least 1 LH, preferably able to get more than 3 outs per appearance.
