    I don't see anything happening until the owners noticing they are actually losing money. Some owners appear to only be investors in baseball - not really fans of the game, so for them it will be a business decision only. Makes it hard for the fans who give them income and actually have passion for the products on the field. Sucks!

    Knowing Twins ownership when it comes to payroll historically - doesn't it make sense that when looking for Terry Ryan's replacement - something that appealed to the Polads during Falvine's interview certainly would be his track record of being able to develop pitching. Developing your own talent compared to signing free agents is a potential way to spend less money and still put a competitive team on the field. Its been a few years - they let them spend a decent amount the first few years, but now that we need pitchers - this is what Falvine is supposed to be good at, so if I were the owners - this is when I would also ask them "hey remember how you bragged about being a pitcher whisperer" - show me.

    Trade someone for a pitcher unless they can also play CF - need someone besides Cave there when Bux gets injured again.

    Does it really have to be this hard? Have both a righty and a lefty late innings/high leverage guy you can trust available to use in the 9th and send out the one with the better matchups. Don't overthink it.
  5. 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?

    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?
  7. farmerguychris
    Great video - thanks for finding that and sharing, now I feel like someday I can be a catcher too! lol

    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?
  10. 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?
  11. farmerguychris
    Nope - he may hit better next year and he's fine in the field - but I'd just prefer to move on. Especially after he may have played a role in bringing Covid into the clubhouse. He's kind of a me over team dude based on that IMO.
  12. farmerguychris
    Starting to think Big Mike will be our opening day starter.
  13. farmerguychris
    At this point I'm just worried Pineda may be our big FA signing of the year and our Opening day starter.... ?
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. farmerguychris
    Lets be honest - we're all just jealous wishing the Twins made these moves aren't we? That would be fun! Great time to be a Rangers fan I bet.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. 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?
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. farmerguychris
    I really don't think they are serious about drafting a proven free agent pitcher when someone like Gray signs for only 14M/year. In today's MLB, that is a reasonable contract. I expect they are seeking something that has higher club sided value in a trade like we did with Maeda. If can't find that kind of a trade, welcome back Pineda I think will be the best we end up doing. Hope I'm wrong.
  23. 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.
  24. farmerguychris
    I just don't see any reason to mess with Polanco. He's a well above average 2nd baseman, so why weaken 2 positions by switching him to SS and putting a limited Arraez at the 4 spot? I do however like your plan of trying to develop Martin and/or Lewis for the SS role in the future - as early as mid 2022 perhaps?
  25. farmerguychris
    Has Cave shown he is anything better than a 4A player himself?
