    This post is clearly missing 3-4 meaningless name drops. Otherwise well said.
  2. TheLeviathan
    I hope they front loaded it. If they did....perfect start to the offseason. Love it either way though.
  3. TheLeviathan
    I have a small but important quibble with an otherwise excellent post: I dont think most "are" middle. I think they might be if the political environment encouraged it. As is, too many otherwise upstanding, conpromise ready, listening folks in the middle lose their way and polarize.
  4. TheLeviathan
    It's the cool place to be. It's also incredibly frustrating because roughly 75% of the population has planted their flag in crazy town/
  5. TheLeviathan
    Right, you aren't even aware that there were conditioning concerns there. You should go look back at some excerpts of Jack Morris on Barreiro's show. Morris rips Sano, but he also ripped Perkins so I can respect his consistency and fairness. I can't say the same for everyone else ripping Sano. If injuries are your concern, I expect you to start a thread soon about how Buxton can't stay on the field either. For whatever reason, Sano ripping seems to be something of a sport for some fans. I just don't get it. This kid is one of the best talents we've seen in our uniform in decades and it feels like we're trying to run him out of town.
  6. TheLeviathan
    No threads here blasted Glen Perkins like this. Certainly not with the intensity and frequency. Nor did our favorite local Sano basher. (Reusse) And his move from 3B seems entirely driven by speculation of TD posters, so Im not sure what value that really has other than a self-created reason to attack our best player.
  7. TheLeviathan
    This was an unprecedented offseason in scope and success for this organization. That is genuine praise for our current FO and a sad indictment of others.
  8. TheLeviathan
    We all want this for all of our players, but only Sano gets villified to such a degree. I appreciate those in this thread who point out the three simple facts that matter: Sano is a ferocious power hitter, the team needs his ability, and he has been a capable fielder. Some who want him to be Villain #1 might be wise to remember that.
  9. TheLeviathan
    No.
  10. TheLeviathan
    I preferred Cobb, but I love this move. It was needed.
  11. TheLeviathan
    Give him a 1 year deal for 15M.
  12. TheLeviathan
    I tend to agree, but I wish there was a third option. (You know, throw a bone the fan's way. Or improve minor league conditions from indentured servitude)
  13. TheLeviathan
    Learn how to pitch. Especially with your left hand if possible, I'm sure someone will!
  14. TheLeviathan
    No one is faulting them for not overpaying. They are welcome to walk away from Lance Lynn and what it would take to sign him. Just don't extend a needless offer with no chance of success before you walk away. If you're interested enough to talk to the player, that can't endear them going forward.
  15. TheLeviathan
    A fair point, however there is some precedent for low offers for power hitters and I'm guessing the teams exchanged numbers closer to what was agreed on. By the swiftness of the denial, it seems the Twins either badly misread what Lynn wanted or went ahead with an offer despite that. Not sure either is a good thing.
  16. TheLeviathan
    Why would he ever take 2/20 in March? It's an obvious lowball with no chance of being accepted. Unless you secretly want to make Lance Lynn feel bad about not signing his QO, I don't see any point to it.
  17. TheLeviathan
    Why not just say "not interested, we're not prepared to offer you what you are asking for". Giving that offer seems insulting.
  18. TheLeviathan
    I can't imagine they spit-balled something like that. There is no upside to an offer that obviously doomed to fail. I kind of hope the reporting is wrong. I like a lot of what they've done this offseason, but this will make the second bizarre contract offer to a pitcher. Starting to become too much of a trend for my liking.
  19. TheLeviathan
    2/20 seems like a rather non-serious offer IMO. Not that they have to sign him or anything, but I guess I don't see the point in even offering that.
  20. TheLeviathan
    Well, towards the end the article insinuated that what Miguel is accused of is less severe than several recent cases. So that may be part of the reason to think that. However, it also acknowledges what you said - that we're in unknown territory. I expect some kind of punishment, but I don't think it will be "severe".
  21. TheLeviathan
    The NHL system for amatuers and two way contracts could conceivably work in baseball.
  22. TheLeviathan
    The players are gearing up for an ugly, ugly fight. I don't think baseball will truly fix these issues until they find a better way to split media revenues and get away from local contracts. Ever since the first few major media contracts were signed the escalation in free agency prices and the resulting counter-measures by front offices have been building to this. It won't be solved easily. I'm not sure it can be solved until MLB goes to a revenue format closer to the NFL or NHL. (I think the NHL is a better model for baseball to follow in general, but it has problems as well)
  23. TheLeviathan
    I like Dozier, he's proven me wrong with his improvements in consistency, but I'd be really hesitant to give him more than 3 years. Also, this offseason makes it really difficult to predict next offseason. I'd put the odds at resigning Dozier about equal to a work stoppage and just about anything in between.
  24. TheLeviathan
    I would bet on 13 pitchers.
  25. TheLeviathan
    His inability to stay healthy worries me about anything too rich or too long. I'd wait another year and see, even if it costs me.
