    Trade someone for a pitcher unless they can also play CF - need someone besides Cave there when Bux gets injured again.
  2. farmerguychris
    I think its pretty obvious that long term its Miranda's job to lose. However with all the chatter about possibly moving Martin or Lewis to CF, could one of them be in play for this role as well?
  3. farmerguychris
    I'm a bit nervous about this - The White Sox knew what they were doing when they non-tendered Colome and we picked him up (yes I know he got better later), no one knows more about Rondon's medicals than the Sox do - I'm suspicious why they didn't want to bring him back. Low floor / High ceiling type of guy I guess, but how do you make a good offer on that?
  4. farmerguychris
    Great video - thanks for finding that and sharing, now I feel like someday I can be a catcher too! lol
  5. farmerguychris
    Solely based on their lack of interest in spending what appear to be reasonable contracts for the FA pitchers who signed - I'm pretty sure we're heading towards #3. Could it be because they know this will be the last year they can be cheap and save money with a possible cap floor in 2023 (too late to likely implement in time for 2022) so gotta save the money now while they can?

    Unless we can get a starting pitcher who is ready to pitch in 2022, I wouldn't mess with what we have for another year. If it ain't broke, why fix it?
  7. farmerguychris
    If he's physically ready to go by season's start - lets let him play SS for us this year. Since we don't appear to be interested in fielding a competitive team due our lack of interest in starting pitchers, why not let him get some experience in the majors?
  8. farmerguychris
    Starting to think Big Mike will be our opening day starter.
  9. farmerguychris
    I can see everything shaking out like you indicated, but also agree that it is more likely than not that Sano is not part of our team then and someone else will be our DH.
  10. farmerguychris
    I'd kind of prefer we go shopping in the pile of players not having the "one team's trash" label in their description.
  11. farmerguychris
    Would love to have him on our team, however with that said - can't see any possible way the Yankees trade him to us for anything we would be willing to offer them. Do they want Jake Cave back - he must have some special powers we don't know about.
  12. farmerguychris
    I'd absolutely tender Arraez, Can't trade him while he's still able to walk on those knees if we don't tender him first. Garver is a no brainer to tender.
  13. farmerguychris
    To see us not sign anyone of significance as the top players fly off the board is very very disappointing. What will our starting rotation be like come August when injuries have hit us?
  14. farmerguychris
    Yea- good point - I think I'd prefer to keep Taylor at SS and put Gordon in center in that scenario. Not sure I'm ready to rule Gordon out at SS, but I think the Twins pretty much are.
  15. farmerguychris
    Just another reason why I think Chris Taylor would be a great signing for us - can start at short, and play CF when Buxton is out.
  16. farmerguychris
    I know a lot of fans will gripe about this signing - $15 M for a player who's always hurt. Fact is however if he plays even half the games every season, we're still getting what we're paying for. For a full season he should be a $30M player. Thus any games he plays over 80 simply is added value.
  17. farmerguychris
    I think something should be done if a team every loses 100 games - yet alone tanks it. To have a professional team lose that many games indicates the owners have absolutely no interest in even trying, which reeks of a baseball team being "just a business" that couldn't care less for the fans who support them. I fully support something (such as a salary cap floor) that would encourage teams to at least put a product on the field that warrants fans spending their money to see. Yes - I know its a business, but some owners don't have to spend absolutely as little as possible to prove that.
  18. farmerguychris
    Cruz would fall into the Want category instead of the Needs. We have too many Needs to consider putting significant money at something we Want when we have in-house options that while not as great as Cruz, allow us to spend our dollars elsewhere. He's a luxury.
  19. farmerguychris
    Chris Taylor is my choice all the way - Won't require a 200M contract and can play at SS until Lewis is ready to go. Then you can use him as your utility guy. Try to trade current utility guy Arraez for something now since his knees will prevent him from ever reaching his full potential.
  20. farmerguychris
    I don't think it necessarily applies to people who are fan enough to subscribe and post on sites like this - but really, this is what a percentage of Twins fans really deserve. They complained about Mauer, well like the article said - here's a possible opportunity to experience the opposite. Have fun with that - I think we'll wish they signed him if he walks.
  21. farmerguychris
    I'd move Arraez - sell high on him. While we all enjoy his hitting - he's not going to get any better with his bad knees. Instead, his value is only going to decline as injuries pile up until he simply can't play anymore. Its a shame for such a young guy, but not everyone was meant to play sports in the bodies they were born with. Get something for him now while we can.
  22. farmerguychris
    So Nick - thanks for the article. Of your 4 suggested reasons. What does your personal insight tell you as to what is truly the most likely reason? I know you are giving suggestions, but what does your gut tell you is the cause?
  23. farmerguychris
    How the Front Office handles this off season is really going to determine how I feel about them as leaders long term for our Twins. They've demonstrated in the past the willingness to spend money on players like Donaldson and Nelson - but perhaps they're being forced to rein in the spending now? To lose Berrios on what appears to be a fair contract, and now to potentially lose Buxton as well isn't a good look. If they "whiff" on all the FA starting pitchers this year and elect to go with retreads or in-house guys won't look good despite their ability to develop pitchers elsewhere. If we elect to simply resign someone like Simmons at SS will also simply add to the impression that either they simply don't truly desire to put a quality product on the field - or are the Polads turning frugal again after low revenues in 2020 and 2021? Either way - as fans we should not be pleased. They have a lot on their plate - I hope they elect to be competitive.
  24. farmerguychris
    Who was our top SS in St. Paul? Are they even a possibility as a stop gap for half a year until Lewis is ready?
  25. farmerguychris
    Hope we can keep both Garver and Jeffers as our backstops for another year. Give them more time to see how good Jeffers can be, and don't really feel good about who would be an acceptable #2 if one of them were traded for a position so frequently injured.
