    Well its what the brewers paid...why not us?even if we front loaded it . say 25 million in 2014 and 9 million per, for the last 3years as for my source is none , but if the Brewers could sign him , why cant we?
  3. johnnydakota
    Sorry wrong thread, but someone was asking about the Twins spring training telecasts,the Trib says they will broadcast every home game this year
  4. johnnydakota
    I had him pegged in the 16-17 million dollar range
  5. johnnydakota
    Well that should come out before they actually sign him,Kinda like Baltimore did. If he is healthy and signed for this , I will be really depressed, as it is another missed oppertunity

    Just goes to show you have been putting your hand in the wrong bush:th_alc: It would of and should of been the Twins signing Garza, wow It would have been the best off season since gravey was invented, the Twins adding a Legit #2/3 and #3/4 starter, and still having Stewart and Meyer in the pipeline....wow
  7. johnnydakota
    So if we had shelled out 13 million a year more could we have had Garza?
  8. johnnydakota
    we could have had all three, and I would be eatting crow for 6 months
  9. johnnydakota
    we could have had him for 1 million a year more then Nolasco, if we got both it would have been a great off season , now , not so much
  10. johnnydakota
    wow, did we miss out on this deal? would it have been posible to get a 3 year 48 million dollar deal? Well good luck Garza
  11. johnnydakota
    I didnt say get rid of Fien, but last year we saw them both struggle at times(Burton and Fien), and if we can find a couple of relievers who are just as good and cheaper, then we have tradable assets,Right? to me this offense is not good, and the defense is just as bad in some areas, and we could use a Garza type starter, so like last year why not trade from our strength?
  12. johnnydakota
    Gee 4.59 career ERA is about the same as Hughes and Pelfrey right? I understand we want a better option, but if there isint any , why not do like we did last year with a couple pitcher who didnt make it out of the minors, I already forgot the starters name , but the lefty perez, was the other.To me there is not a problem dumpster diving , as long as it isnt the only avenue of getting players

    Florida Marlins , Prince fielder...Yes you are correct about maybe a player gets hurt, or maybe he doesnt play as well as you hoped, but if you sit at home with your tinfoil hat on, afraid to make a mistake, you will miss out on many oppertunities. last seaon we got 3 pretty darn good starters( not my words) and a pair of magic beans(my words) where are our magic beans this year?there are 5 avenues to getting players , national and internation draft, rule 5 draft, trading ,signing quality free agents and of course dumpster diving. to me if your not using all avenues conssistantly you are not doing your job... but hey maybe thats just me As far as spending we have extra income , that if not used will be lost , it will disappear into a blackhole never to be seen again, so use it, even if you dont spend it all at least use most of it, as we sit now we have used about 33% of the 50-52% we are allowed to spend.

    To me you keep shooting till your empty, then reload....we started out great Nolasco signed , and you can read what I had to say (good signing Terry) then Hughes, and it was( ok this guy has had a couple of pretty darn good years and his splits are good)...next it was Pelfrey and ,correct me if I am wrong , most here just were not happy about this 1...then Terry stopped, we had reached our payroll of last year and its time to put away the checkbook and wait and see. to me you keep spending, maybe you dont keep all your free agents for the entire year, you use them to make some trades come june and july, for young arms and prospect to fill the holes we have in our system. Or you sign a Garza to say a 3 year 51 million dollar contract and front load it 20, 20 and 11 million now in the 2nd season we can trade him during the season or in that winter when he is owed only 11 million , there are ways to use the money thats avalible and not block prospects but actually add to your system,and still have bullets for the future

    So then we agree, in 2 or 3 years we will know how they turn out?
  16. johnnydakota
    Well I will agree with some of your post...you are pretty confident:jump:
  17. johnnydakota
    And how did those 3 work out this year? Maybe in 2 or 3 more years we will know if they are the real deal ,or not. Do I want them all to be All Stars? Hell ya, do I want Nolasco,Hughes and Pelfrey to finish 1-3 in the Cy young voting ? Hell ya, Do I want my team to win the WS each year ? Hell Ya ... But if you always do ,what you have always done. you will always get what you have always gotten....
  18. johnnydakota
    We did it in the softest division in the AL, we had 2 MVPs and a CY young winner,along with 1 of the best closers. If we were in the east or the West , would we have won more then 1?
  19. johnnydakota
    I was using last falls reports, me bad, if they have changed in the off season
  20. johnnydakota
    So if I glean correctly from your statment is that over the last 13 years ,the Red Sox, Giants and the Cards management have done a much better job then ours has? hmmm interesting Maybe we should add some of those teams personal to our brain thrust, maybe even a guy from the Rays?
  21. johnnydakota
    the premise of that statment is that we built a stadium so we could keep our own players and sign quality free agents, I just pointed out that we have done niether......
  22. johnnydakota
    well you are wrong about the best farm system , I believe we are ranked 5th and 7th by the 2 most ackowleged periodicals
  23. johnnydakota
    But those teams didnt go 1 and done the last 6 times they made the playoffs ....did they?
  24. johnnydakota
    Well as long as we have a plan A,B,C,and D....Just dont want to get caught with our pants down again this year
  25. johnnydakota
