    We are also paying more IKF projected at 4.9 million and Garv only 3.1 according to mlbtr I didn't see any agreements in the quick Google search so I may be wrong.

    Checking out IKF baseball savant page I am not impressed. I recall he won a GG at third in 2020, but looking at his metrics from 2021 in OAA, like why not just sign Niko Goodrum?
  3. Ryan_K
    I think his defense numbers have fallen off a bit where he is above average, but concerns about his arm. If we can get him on a 1 year prove it contract say 27 million, then go for it, but I won't commit multiple years to him with his splits more so the RH LH than the home road ones.

    Bold call, I'll say Elijah Green falls to us at 8 because of his swing and miss concerns similar to Jo Adell in 2017
  5. Ryan_K
    I'd like to get like a number 8 through 12 prospect that is not rule 5 soon tossed if we take on the contract. I want to buy some prospect capital, so if we are looking good we can make a mid season addition.
  6. Ryan_K
    Put him in high A or AA, but be sure to surround him with good hitters so we can get some good stats. He could be like Seth Beer so let's get some of that luster back, and trade at the deadline. The other concern is that I remember a report that different leagues in the minors switched out different baseballs during the season without informing teams, so it's hard to tell was a prospect good last year or not.

    I say get Niko Goodrum for SS and if Royce ends up being ready, then we got a good utility guy with speed.

    I think it shouldn't be viewed as two lost year. Rather two years spent differently. One of the biggest issues was his swing, instead of meaningless minor league games he got an entire season of coaching and training by the staff to sort it out without distractions. The ACL hurt, but that doesn't mean he didn't chat with Simmons about how he preps, maybe he learned Spanish to help communicate, and there is VR to help with pitch recognition out of the hand. What I am trying to say is, the kid didn't spend the last two years playing X Box, he had the opportunity to train in ways other players simply don't have the time for and that can make him a long term impact player. Good luck Royce

    I'm a big fan of him, but his own words about how rare of an injury this is for baseball players makes me concerned. Teams can build models for TJ given the large sample size, but with this there are a lack of comparables.

    Sign all three plus Joe Kelly. I think trying to do what the Royals had with HDH during their World Series years is a good approach.
  11. Ryan_K
    he's intriguing. more so for his post playing career. I remember an article saying after he is done playing he would like to be a GM, so he could be an hier to Thad

    I agree a rebuild is a waste of talented players. Are we WS contenders no, but with a reset and an eye towards 2023 WS contenders I could see us making a bid for a WC spot this year with health and some luck

    I agree that we need pitching, but if the FO didn't pursue relatively affordable FA SP I have a hard time seeing them trading a young core member. Besides Buxton, Luis is the most entertaining player IMO. I honestly don't think even trading for a SP would make the Twins competitive, there is too much uncertainty. Now we could trade for multiple pitchers, but that won't let us see what the minor league guys have and the pitching pipeline is probably the key deliverable the Pohlads will judge the FO success. I'd possible I'd trade Miranda if the return could be similar

    I disagree. Baseball is a business and the objective isn't to win games, but to keep the fan base engaged for the whole of 162. A disengaged fan base will hurt potential streaming and other advertising ventures. I like prospects too, but what are the odds they can replicate his BA and OBP. As for defense, I think he has been good since he doesn't get to focus on one position. I'd keep him unless somehow you could get a Julio Urias for him.
  15. Ryan_K
    I'd keep him. If he got good marks in CF, then we might have our own Alex Gordon for the next half decade by putting him in LF. That's a good return for 8 months of Jose.
  16. Ryan_K
    The rule 5 was cancelled, not delayed this year.
  17. Ryan_K
    I think this would be great. Plus we can QO both Rodon and Bassitt after the season. I just hope we don't give up pitching prospects and do a bulk prospects like how San Diego has done. It is also a good point there are only so many year with BB having speed with the power.

    I'm working on a revised blueprint and will post once non tenders and the CBA is resolved. But I have the idea of packaging Elvis Andrus with one of the Oak SP to reduce cost.
