    I haven't really thought about the possibility of Park being unimpressive and earning a trip to AAA. I suppose Sano could just slide right back into DH and let someone else play in the OF.
  2. Danchat
    Well, the Twins signed Fernando Abad to a minor league deal today. OK, probably not a response to what other teams in the division are doing, but, y'know...
  3. Danchat
    The White Sox had to fulfill their crave for a NL slugger. Now, Todd Fraizer is better than Adam Dunn and Adam LaRoche, but still, they sure like their NL power hitters.

    Maybe I'd give him a deal with a little ($1M) guaranteed and the rest all incentives if he can pitch well enough and for how many innings. I wonder if he'd be any good in the bullpen. As OldGoat said, he's not ready to throw 200+ innings.
  5. Danchat
    I would be very OK with a trade with the framework starting at Plouffe for Storen. Add a few prospects or other players to each side. I think Storen is underrated.
  6. Danchat
    Ummm, yeah, please no. Go ahead and offer him a minor league deal, but make no agreement to guarantee him a 25 man roster spot. Don't give him any guaranteed money, TR.

    I get the 1 year deal, but 2 years and $16M?!

    Eh... Nunez played about 1/3 of the season, compared to Plouffe's full season. (204 PAs to 632 PAs) To his credit, Nunez had a good season and deserves a bench spot on almost any team. However, if he played a full season, I'm confident his numbers would have regressed.
  9. Danchat
    I think Plouffe, Escobar, Jepsen, and Milone are guarantees. I know some people may not want to tender Milone, but there's no reason to just let him go. The Twins can trade him - maybe not for much, but that'd be better than letting him walk. If they don't trade him, he's an OK starter and some nice depth. Nunez and Fien are definitely debatable. I'm not sure if Nunez is needed with Santana likely taking up a bench spot.
  10. Danchat
    Nice article. I find it hard to project what Santana is going to do in 2016. But he's got potential, so the Twins should definitely keep him on the bench and hope he figures things out.
  11. Danchat
    Wow. Good job getting him cheap, TR. I liked the bid before but now I like it even better. If Park doesn't work out, then we don't have to lose a lot of money. If he does work out, then we got a heck of a bargain. That's a win-win deal in my eyes.
  12. Danchat
    I wonder if the Twins might claim a guy with one of the open 40 man spots? Many other teams have been shedding players like Achter and Pinto, so perhaps TR is searching the waiver wire for any potential. If not, maybe we could still add Michael/Jones/Jorge tonight. I'm not convinced that the Twins will use that roster spot for a Rule 5 guy.
  13. Danchat
    I'm a bit sad to see Achter and Pinto go, but I guess it had to happen. I hope they'll find success with their new homes. I think Rosario and Landa are a bit odd picks. But hey, I'm no GM. I kinda like the Pat Dean add, but I would have liked to see him get a spot start or two during that "let's have Trevor May throw a 3 inning start" fiasco.
  14. Danchat
    I would listen to some Storen rumors but I wouldn't go after Papelbon.
  15. Danchat
    TR said that nobody was going to be moved a few days ago. Then two guys get traded away. If there's a good enough offer for Plouffe, TR will move him. If teams try to low-ball him, he's not going to trade him. It's that simple.
  16. Danchat
    Why on earth does Atlanta want Herrmann? He's like Butera except he hasn't hit as well and he's not as good defensively. This also confirms the obvious that the Twins will be getting a new catcher at some point. That's good. Nice trade, TR. This reminds me of the Butera trade...
  17. Danchat
    I'm excited about the Park bid and I'm not worried at all about Plouffe's status with the team. TR is just saying that they're going to keep everyone just so their trade value doesn't go down. He knows what he's doing. And this is coming from a not very big TR fan.
  18. Danchat
    Not sure if Hicks has very much value... However, I do know one thing. I'm confident the Twins see Rosario as a CF and not as a corner OF. His defensive game is good enough to be in CF, and his bat resembles a CF more than a corner OF because he lacks the power. It's not the end of the world if Rosario stays in LF - he's nice defensively there and Buxton will likely be the CF. But Rosario has more value as a trade piece... it's a very interesting scenario.
  19. Danchat
    Yeah, it's not a good article.
  20. Danchat
    Umm, I believe you should at least raise your best case scenario. He could definitely hit better than that. Who knows, maybe Park has a great rookie season (.270 & 30+ HRs) and then MLB pitchers have to adjust to him.
  21. Danchat
    Just to double check here... so when you say his name it's pronounced: "Byeong - ho bak"? So his last name "Park" is actually pronounced "Bak"?
  22. Danchat
    Does anyone know how to pronounce his full name? I'd like to be able to say it correctly. @SwainZag - MLB Trade Rumors was saying 5 years, $40M.
  23. Danchat
    Wow. I am surprised. And in a good way, too. I never really considered the thought that the Twins would win the bid, but whadda know? They did! I'm excited. I'm pretty confident Park isn't going to be the next Nishioka. He can be a really solid DH and Sano can take over 3B. Hopefully we can get something decent for Plouffe in a trade.
  24. Danchat
    After seeing how many managers got fired mid-season lately, I wouldn't be shocked if Gardy got a job mid-season. Looking at you, Tigers.
  25. Danchat
    If Ramos can stay healthy, I'd absolutely try to get him. I think he'd be a bit expensive, but that's fine for a good catcher.
