    Hopefully it's finally dawned on the front office that the bullpen is not as deep as they thought it was. Move Maeda to the pen and put Ober back in the rotation where he belongs.

    I'm getting a little tired of washed up pitchers finding their old magic against the Twins.
  3. LewFordLives
    They're going to miss Coulombe. The Twins bullpen is ok, but if someone gets hurt they're going to find they don't have much depth.

    Thx. I'm not in market so we had the Royals television feed. Ryan Lefebvre didn't mention it.

    Interesting bullpen usage today. Is something wrong with Duran? He looked fine on Thursday, but Rocco goes with Lopez for the third day in a row and then Pagan for the ninth.
  6. LewFordLives
    Duran is the closer.

    That just ain't right. Who gives the Twins a better chance of winning right now....Maeda or Ober? Maeda has not pitched in a year and a half, and he is most likely gone after this year. He has been terrible so far this spring, whereas Ober has been solid. Let Maeda work out the rust from the bullpen.

    AT&T Sportsnet was part of the Warner-Discovery merger. They've already said they are getting out of the RSN business. The old model is all but dead.

    I would love to see Martin take the next step forward. The Twins don't really have a true leadoff hitter at the moment, He always has a high OBP and can steal some bases.

    I remember when they were auctioning off pieces of the Metrodome. One of the blue hefty bags from right field was listed. I thought about bidding, but then it occurred to me.....what if I won? I guess I could have turned it into a privacy fence, but the HOA might have something to say about it.

    Good article, but I'm not as optimistic as some. The results just haven't been there. Management must see something they like. Maybe he can make the adjustments and turn it around.

    It's not just Strahm's contract. Moore/Fulmer/Chafin can see the $7 million Trevor May got from the A's and are thinking they should be able to get at least 2 years/ $20 million. I would like to see the Twins add someone. I don't think the bullpen is as deep as some might think. There will be injuries.

    I was mad about the Urshela trade at the time because I assumed Correa was gone and there was going to be too many questions on the left side of the infield. But with Correa back, it frees up Farmer to play 3B if Miranda falters. And Lewis or Lee might be ready later in the year. I don't see the Gallo signing as making sense in any scenario. I just don't know what the front office was thinking with that one.

    I never liked the dome dog. Nothing but grease. I prefer the original Twins Dog, but last time I was at Target Field they only had it at one or two stations.

    Wow...if true, let's see how long that lasts.

    Bat day sounds dangerous.

    I was puzzled when the Marlins traded Gallen for Chisholm, and upset the Twins weren't in the conversation. He was a perfect fit for the Twins and they had the prospect capital to do it without it being too painful. Maybe the Marlins were targeting Chisholm.

    Would the offseason have been a disaster without Correa? With or without Correa I don't think they're done making moves, so time will tell. I was disappointed they missed out on some SP opportunities in free-agency, but the need may be filled via trade. I still think they need one middle of the rotation SP and one decent reliever. Did we absolutely need a shortstop? We needed someone, whether it was Correa or a stop-gap to get us to Lewis/Lee/Martin. I would have been content with the latter, and so I wouldn't judge the offseason a disaster if Correa had gone elsewhere. I like Correa and I think he makes them better, but going forward I don't think he's going to be the elite player some expect him to be. I like $200 million over six years better than $285 million over ten, but that's still A LOT of money to tie up in one player. (Can you tell I'm a glass half-empty kind of person.)

    I don't think they have a glut of infielders. Farmer is insurance if Miranda can't lock down 3rd and can also play SS if needed. I view Gordon more as an outfielder, but certainly he brings a lot of valuable versatility.
  20. LewFordLives
    Guess we'll just have to trust the scouts on this one. Someone must see something they like. Although I'm as little suspicious of anyone DFA'd by one of the worst teams in baseball.

    Am glad someone said this. Donaldson doesn't belong in the same sentence as Bauer.

    The years absolutely do matter. A dollar today is worth more than a dollar 13 years from now because of inflation and opportunity cost of money (he can invest and earn a rate of return on that dollar he gets today). The Twins deal (reportedly) was less nominal dollars, but it was over fewer years so it was presumably more front loaded. So he may have gotten more money up front than the Mets deal. Depending on how you discount the dollars, the Mets deal might still be slightly higher than the Twins deal , but it's not $30 million in real terms. And when you're dealing with that amount of money, the difference is essentially a wash.
  23. LewFordLives
    Not if you put it in discounted present value terms. The Mets deal was spread over more years. Of course, it's all about the optics of being over $300 million. Whenever they announce the deal with the Mets, even if it ends up being less than $300 million there will be all kinds of clauses and options so that one might conclude, under the best circumstances, it's over $300 million.
  24. LewFordLives
    If Correa wanted to be a Twin he would still be a Twin. The Twins alleged offer wasn't that different from the Mets offer.
  25. LewFordLives
    No way would I include young pitching. I get you gotta give something to get something, but the Twins have no established starters under contract after this year. They need to keep all of their arms.
