    Did you see the splits? Cron has a track record; Austin just doesn't. That should matter. (And Cron is hardly expensive).
  2. PseudoSABR
    You're penciling Austin in for 30 HRs and a OPS north of .800 OPS? If Austin produces during ST, I'm pretty sure we can still cut ties with Cron. And we do have holes at both 1b/DH; so we may need both in the lineup, unless you're counting on Grossman, whom I think is real roster casualty.
  3. PseudoSABR
    Yes.
  4. PseudoSABR
    Those splits are not what I expected. Very interesting, maybe he does make a good platoon partner with Austin.
  5. PseudoSABR
    I recall it being discussed here before that players on arbitration don't have their salary guaranteed prior to the season. Someone more knowledgeable/smarter than me may know for sure.
  6. PseudoSABR
    We arguably have holes at 1b and DH; I don't think his contract is guaranteed, like Austin, he could be waived at any point before the season at no cost, so should the Twins find a better option, they can release Cron/Austin. As others have pointed out, I think this probably spells the end for Grossman.

    I'm lukewarm on Mauer. At worst, he goes the way of Ichiro, and retires when he shows he doesn't have it. And at the right price, Mauer isn't a negative player (though of course, we'd want someone better, but with both 1B and DH open next year, I don't think he'd be blocking anyone right away).
  8. PseudoSABR
    Smarty! And non-relevant, which I think is your point.

    How many languages do you know? I studied Spanish for several years and French, too. Neither stuck with me. It's harder and more time consuming to learn a foreign language than people are willing to grant, evidently. Do I wish he knew Spanish? Yes. Do I think it's fair to hold that he doesn't know Spanish against him? No.
  10. PseudoSABR
    What I had heard was that he already talked to Mauer and would welcome him on the team. I'm not sure he's advocating for Mauer, but rather being respectful towards the team's most popular player whose on the cusp of retirement. I mean what is he suppose to say publicly about Mauer on the first day on the job?
  11. PseudoSABR
    I don't see what his intelligence or his education have to do with learning Spanish. It's not as if he could learn it by osmosis, he'd need to study it and probably go through an immersion program, which would take time, likely time away from the work experience that led to the job he just got.
  12. PseudoSABR
    I like his story, his pedigree, and his name. Well done, Twins.

    Some scholarships need to be renewed each year/semester. I had a student "lose" his scholarship when he tore his ACL at Western Michigan. Though it was before Fleck was there. But that's an anecdotal experience.

    No love for Astudillo? For shame.
  15. PseudoSABR
    Except for a track-record of putting that skill-set towards winning...

    Buxton turns out to be worth keeping at the age 28 season, I hope we sign him to an extension, making this issue moot.
  18. PseudoSABR
    I hope we'll see both Lewis and Kiriloff in Arizona this Fall; but I think we can only take one single A player, is that correct?
  19. PseudoSABR
    Nicely done.
  20. PseudoSABR
    I say we run out multiple openers, and let the starting pitcher finish games.
  21. PseudoSABR
    Yes. And please.
  22. PseudoSABR
    Why is he already shooting an already dead chicken dinner? Is this the point? It must be the point.
  23. PseudoSABR
    That's optimistic with you thinking we'll contend next year.
  24. PseudoSABR
    I, for one, am glad to see the Twins sell high on a controllable asset (esp. a bullpen piece). What's the old saying: better to sell to early than too late.
  25. PseudoSABR
    Why not a three year deal; even with a team option for that third year.
