    I'd much rather check out incoming Korean-league player Byung-ho Park before I'd give a big deal to Chris Davis. Park will probably be really expensive too, though.

    Well, if President St. Peter's comments have any merit, then we should be seeing Hunter on the coaching staff at one point. Congrats, Torii. You had a great career and you were pretty good even age 40. I hope to see you leading dance parties with the team as a bench coach next season.

    I don't get why Dozier is in the trade talk. He's going to be in the 2nd year of a 4 year deal - I know TR doesn't deal players when they're still early in their contracts. I also know that there's no way this team trusts Polanco to take over at 2B. They'd find a bottom-rung veteran 2B to play there for who knows how long until Polanco can shred AAA, and not to mention learn how to play 2B. Also, I recently got a Dozier jersey for my birthday, so they better not trade him.

    I want to know what happens in an alternate reality where Joe goes into the NFL. Do the Vikings take him first overall in the draft?
  5. Danchat
    This is a nice start. The Twins can offer Robinson another minor league deal later and see if he can come back as the 4th OF if needed.

    I think we might be having this discussion at the end of 2016 about saying goodbye before the 2017 season. Mauer is going to be around in 2016 whether we like it or not.
  7. Danchat
    I stay the course unless there's a make-able trade that includes us getting an ace for Plouffe + Prospects. Use that cap room to get a reliever or two and a catcher, whether by FA or by trade.

    I think the Twins have to hand Escobar the starting SS job in 2016. After a great 2014, they handed the job to Santana and gave him a pretty long leash too. Escobar had a great second half of 2015. Give Escobar the job and see what he does over a full season.

    I do wonder what would have happened if Colabello didn't have the major slump in May/June 2014. But I'm glad to see him excelling in Toronto. Go Blue Jays!
  10. Danchat
    Yeah, I think most of us don't think of May as a rookie. He had one heck of a rookie season, though. He was a pretty decent starter for the first half and a very good setup reliever in the second half. He's absolutely ahead of Duffey in my book. Yes, Duffey's starts were better, but he didn't have close to as much impact as May - partly because he was only up for a month and a half.
  11. Danchat
    OK, this isn't so bad. Dozier - get some rest and get ready to pound the first half of the 2016 season.
  12. Danchat
    It's nice to see how high Escobar ranks. Turns out SS is the one position we don't need to address.
  13. Danchat
    Just going with arbitration, I would non-tender Fien, Nunez, and Robinson. I think Danny Santana (who's out of options) can be the utility guy in 2016 instead of Nunez. Maybe the Twins get can Robinson back on a minor league deal to save money. (depends on how expense his arb $$$ will be, if he's cheap, bring him back)
  14. Danchat
    I was referring to the possible regression at age 39. I'm not too worried about the cost.
  15. Danchat
    I think MLB Trade Rumors reported that Atlanta was asking for "way too much" for AJ. I wonder if he could re-produce those 2015 numbers... that would be fantastic, but there's plenty of risk involved.
  16. Danchat
    Today, Torii Hunter said that there's a "very good chance" tomorrow will be his last game. Not sure if that means anything in the long run, though. I've read on MLBTradeRumors that they expect Torii to make a decision in November. Source; Derek Wetmore via Twitter
  17. Danchat
    Yup, it's been confirmed. I'm a bit disappointed, but it doesn't really matter at this point. I want to see Kepler in the lineup, and that's about it.
  18. Danchat
    Boyer's [hopefully] final appearance as a Twin loses us another game. Can't wait until TR finds another mediocre veteran in the dumpster. I hate being so negative... but guys like Pelfrey and Boyer have costed the Twins dearly this season. Yes, they had their peaks early in the season, but that doesn't matter when they're pitching like this in Sept/October.
  19. Danchat
    I was hoping to see Kepler in the lineup today... but since we're still "technically" in the race, maybe we'll see him tomorrow.
  20. Danchat
    Um, no thanks with Shields. I know he's got a great track record, but I'll pass on another 30+ declining starter. I'd love to get Wieters. Hunter probably gets signed and replaces Arcia. Arcia then rebounds with the Orioles/Blue Jays and finds success there. Interesting how you have Robinson coming back - actually, I'm OK with this - he's a good defender and didn't embarrass himself at the plate. He's a better 4th OF than Hunter is. I think Buxton starts in AAA, but we'll see. Maybe he'll have a good spring training. One other thing. I don't think the Twins will carry two "LOOGY"s-they barely even use Cotts or O'Rourke as actual LOOGYs. I'd like to see Pressly in the bullpen... ugh, no other young guys stepped up there.
  21. Danchat
    I still believe Perkins can be the closer next year. When he's healthy and well-rested, I'd bet he'll be back to his early 2015 form - or close to it.
  22. Danchat
    Yes, this. Or, actually try using O'Rourke as a LOOGY. I know they don't trust him because he's a rookie and walks too many guys, but he's still really good versus lefties.
  23. Danchat
    Dude, you jinxed it...
  24. Danchat
    I don't want to pile the hate on Perkins... but how many games has he lost in this playoff race? Ugh. Molitor needs to figure out how to use his bullpen better. Too many "WTF" decisions so far. May should have been out there right after Santana.
  25. Danchat
    Duffey better not beam Ramirez in the head and get ejected before he can even get an out. Then our bullpen gets to pitch the whole game, and one of our best starters doesn't get to pitch. I know that's not going to happen, but still...
