    Astudillo may be the second utility man. Gordon and Blankehorn optioned.

    Worth the risk on a one year deal. The ankle injury and mental health struggles could certainly explain the down year. Last year which was by far the worst of his career is better than what we have been doing at shortstop defensively.

    Did they play? It says postponed on the scoreboard
  4. Otwins
    I hope he is as good as the others on that list.

    Over- easily. It will help Eddie to play for Francona who will not let him continually do the over aggressive (some say stupid) stuff. I think he has his best year ever.

    I don't see how Rosario grades lower than Kiriloff for this season. I think Grossman is average which should make him a C. I agree Benintendi is a bit of an unknown but worth a shot for KC. Thanks for the article.

    18 Games!!! Do you think anyone would be interested in getting together to talk Twins? I could rent adjoining suites at the ballpark. I do it once a year anyway for work. I think it is about 18 per suite so 36 total.

    Since Hamilton and Waddell cleared waivers and we were able to keep them I wager one over the internet dollar that it will be a Gibaut.

    I always wonder when a name is revealed to a local beat writer if there is not a motive. Like the Twins have an offer out to Ozuna so it gets back to Cruz. Do they really want Shoemaker? That would be fine with me. Or is there someone else that they want to know there are other offers in play? I guess we will find out.
  10. Otwins
    Would love to see Shoemaker fill the fifth spot. Thanks for the write up

    I think Cave will be the back up until Buxton gets hurt. Then they call Broxton up. Neither Cave nor Kepler were as good as Broxton defensively in centerfield and moving Kepler over hurts us in rightfield also. I think he is Buxton insurance.

    Nice list. Looks like we still need two more signings. One starter and one reliever will complete this roster nicely.

    Your article shows why you have to keep going year to year on the contracts. You will get left paying too much on the last one. Look how many had very good years but were done within two years after a very good season. I remember watching Willie Mays play that last year for the Mets. It was very hard to watch such a great player hitting about .210 and such a great fielder struggling in the field. But his last games were in the World Series so maybe we can hope for the same for Nelson Cruz.

    I appreciate your point. It is a good one. I just think you have the wrong guy. I think the two best back ups just signed. Almora and Legares

    If the Dodgers would trade Price and send the money from Boston what would that save the Dodgers on Luxury tax. Does the portion that Boston pays count on Boston's luxury tax total or LA? Does anyone know? That is the value to the Dodgers. If they resign say Justin Turner for 2 years 24 Million and they are in the 50% luxury tax bracket it would make sense for them to consider moving Price. If money is no object and it may not be with the Dodgers it would be hard to put a trade together. I doubt they would trade Gonsolin or May
  16. Otwins
    I agree with Lew Ford. I think Price is available
  17. Otwins
    Fair Question. I think they are really different type of pitchers but both can be effective. May is more dominant. Colome is more consistent. If you need a strikeout it is May. If you need a double play Colome. I am just glad we have one of them. I think we still need one more reliever and one more starter
  18. Otwins
    I think if you factor in the contracts it is a win for the Twins
  19. Otwins
    Very happy with this signing. Cannot rely on rookies to produce in the middle of the order. After the Simmons signing I thought Cruz became a bigger need. Another starter and two relievers and we are ready
  20. Otwins
    The article by Zulgad sure feels like he has access to information from the front office that seems to benefit the front office by leaking it.
  21. Otwins
    I would add as many starting pitchers as I could. Not sure anyone threw 70 innings last year. It may be difficult to expect 180 innings from starters. Send Dobnak, Smeltzer and Thorpe down knowing you will need them plus probably Duran and Balazovich. Probably need 8-10 starters to go 162 game schedule.
  22. Otwins
    Why not both Clippard and Kintzler
  23. Otwins
    You weren't the only fan of Mastroianni style of play. It was entertaining. I am looking forward to seeing how this works out. Should be fun. Thanks for the article
  24. Otwins
    I think this is exactly what Marwin signed for 10.5 million only it took a two year deal. So if Simmons is replacing Marwin contract wise while upgrading shorstop and providing depth at 2b,ss and 3B it seems like a good fit.
  25. Otwins
    It has been a tough market to read. I think the per year price of free agents has been like a normal year. The contracts do not seem to be as long though. Less than half the teams are spending so will they be full at some point and the remaining players become cheaper? Ideally I think the Twins still need 6 players. Starting pitcher, two relievers, shortstop, utility and DH. Seems like it is hard to sign Cruz and have enough for the other needs unless they address some through a trade. I am glad they are out on Bauer as he would use up too much of the remaining money.
