  1. Sanchez has been called the worst catcher in baseball. So on the one hand it might seem he is just a breathe away from unemployment, and on the other hand an arbitrator might award him +7m if he plays. Considering the twins off-loaded 25m from Donaldson's contract for this year, it makes no sense for them to take back 7m for a player they might cut anyway. I would say they could do better by signing almost any minimum wage catcher and apply the 7m savings toward a starting pitcher. If the twins really like Sanchez and want to keep him, and if Sanchez realizes he is close to being cut, perhaps they could agree on a low base salary loaded with incentives. But definitely do not keep him for a guaranteed 7m.
  2. On another site I read an article about Story's statistical splits. I had no idea that he is such a Jeckle and Hyde player. His batting avg at Coors Field is great; on the road it is terrible. Power numbers are similar- many more home runs at Coors than away. Average it all out, and consider defense, he is among the best. But if these statistics are reliable, we would have a problem: ALL his games will be "away" games, both at Target Field and across the American League. There will be no more Coors Field advantage to inflate his performance. So pardon me if I don't jump on the bandwagon until I find out if these splits are an aberation.
  3. Inside this 66 year old body lives an 8 year old boy who doesn't give two hoots about contracts or economics. He loves his favorite players and is sad to see them go. He worries that we won't be as good without them. Allhe wants is to have enough good players to win lots of games and be world champions. This boy will never grow up.
