    The only point to be added is that you have double the stress on the body by playing the outfield and running bases.. Remember that most of his injuries have come in the outfield. He only knows one way of playing. And that's fast and hard. I don't think it would help a lot to move him to a corner position.. It would only take our best fielder and put him in less of a helpful roll to the team. Anyway you look at it he will get more dh time.

    The twins aren't going to lose him. Experts have said he will get 17 to 18 million. Both sides have said he is coming back. The reality is there will be a base of probably 150 to 155 million per team. The team will have to spend the money. Will they just let him go ? Then attempt to to aquire a broken down old vet for more money than he's worth. Besides we could lose both Bell and Larnach. That's almost 14 million saved. And there are others that can go. Also if there is a lock out, players don't get paid. Maybe if they are lucky they will get two thirds of there season.

    Great response. Also we do have Bell , lee and caratini who are all switch hitters. I don't see a problem with the mix. Elwe just need hitters to come closer to there potential.

    My understanding of the situation is that a player is still eligible for poy if he is brought up after the trade deadline. That and other reasons were why the twins waited. Good luck to him.

    Twins could get more from yankees. Send jeffers and larnach to them. Get hess and one of the other pitching prospects mentioned. Also we would be over paying, so throw in a good major league reliever. They are presently missing a lot of there hitting. The twins they would get would make up for some of that. They are mostly our best right and left handed hitters. Not in every category but overall.these moves would mean we would still be in contention. And could work out a better deal with Ryan. Remember one thing whatever you are willing to pay someone. Will likely be about half. They don't get paid during a lockout. Also the twins will likely save some money next year on lopez. They won't hang on to him all year. He will be a trade candidate.

    Seems to me this writer is on to something. Get another starter. Hold and use the other guys as hybrids. Relievers, openers, and sixth starter. Shelton is pretty good at using his pitchers. He also is not afraid to to switch people around. One more thing.,Cole sands. He's almost back. And he was considered the possible closer at seasons start. Is he or Matthews not better than a couple of people presently in the bullpen?

    An extension could be an option. But will his agent ask for a lot more? Will they have to give a qualifying offer . There is a lot to look over.you have other contracts to deal with. Lopez has one more year . It would make since to hold on Ryan and negotiate an extension. Then see if lopez is pitching well. If he is good he could be on the trading block. He is paid eight million more than ryan next year. And the twins have stated they may not trade jeffers. I don't see us keeping all three.

    If we keep him, we must fill a hole. Relief pitching. Probably two guys needed in the bullpen. From the looks of the division we would have a chance. It would cost good prospects. But some of those guys we have been talking about for a few years. And even when they have good springs we won't keep them on the major league team. If we wait to bring players up when they get to be almost thirty.we will be paying them out of the price zone for this teams management. And getting less productive years.
  28. Stew
    Yes bring him up. Dump Outman
  29. Stew
    At one time gonzalez was on lists. Another injury casualty? Twins bosses still think he could be one of the first to contribute if healthy.
  30. Stew
    Yes, but Ober should have a better year . We will see.

    Buxton is the best trade bait. But how much more money do we need to save . The only way Buxton leaves is if we lose both ryan and lopez.. If that's the case, we will spending of about 55 million. And our attendance will be 4 or 5 thousand a game. Think about that. You run the risk of permanently losing some fans. And you can never financially recover . Because these owners will never let loose with enough money to get the talent back in.
  33. Stew
    I have an idea. Make the twins a triple A club for the dodgers or Yankees. When they want a player they can pay the pohlads for the players. That way they can keep there down.
  34. Stew
    We shouldn't trade any of them. We are one great left handed hitter away from competing. You may think I'm crazy. But I think we will cheaply rebuild our bullpen. That will mean we get a hitter we need. And we won't be bad. If you look at it realistically,. If we would have kept our bullpen and had a healthy Lopez we probably would have won 13 more games. That would mean we would have been close. I realize I'm not running the twins. But I would spend about 140 million on the roster. That could get us a cheap backup catcher and two relievers. And leave enough to spend as much as twenty-five million on a big bat. Will the twins do that. Absolutely not.
  35. Stew
    Are you crazy. He is almost an ace. Under team control and paid a low amount of money. We need to give things a year or two. That way we get full value from him. And have a chance to be competitive when the young kids come along.
