  1. I never read the entire article, that's on me. :) They tend to get a little long :)
  2. Making the offer isn't a problem but with Boras as his agent, it will not get accepted and will get a 4 year, $80 million+ deal somewhere else. He's gone.
  3. Keaschall is a DH. Lewis is a DH. Clemens might be a DH. I could go on, there are more, but I think we all see a glaring issue with this roster.
  4. He has definitely earned a contract for next year and maybe a raise. This is most likely his ceiling as an offensive player but I'll take 3 more years just like it if possible.
  5. 💯 I do not see a path where they pay Jeffers the same money as Buxton. Boras will make sure Jeffers is in the free agency pool and he will get more than $17 million/year for multiple years.
  6. There are no Joe Mauer's on this list but we shouldn't expect that either. The MLB draft is always a crapshoot but Culpepper and Jenkins look like ball players.
  7. 💯 accurate. The expectations were zero to start the year, defensively this is a bad team. Offensively, they've played well enough to be 5 games under .500 but I refuse to give Zoll and Pohlad credit for adding $8 million at the deadline for guys that are ok, at best. This team will change over the winter; we need a #1 catcher, and the OF needs to have actual OF'ers not DH's. It will be interesting to see who we keep and who moves on.
  8. Seems like a lot of questions for a guy to answer in 1 month. Culpepper looks be a very good player but this road to, let's say 90 wins, seems long. Upgrades defensively and offensively are really important and, if payroll stays at $110 million, our young guys will have to be good.
  9. A qualifying offer to Jeffers would most likely be north of $20 million/year. I don't see the Twins doing that, with any player, in the foreseeable future.
  10. Buck's last HR was June 26th. It is very hard to count on him for more than 100 games/year
  11. Injuries have always been part of a teams success or lack of success. Great/Good teams have depth with respect to talent and that is a shortcoming for our Twins. The pitching staff and the OF have had key injuries this year and the guys we've rolled out when injuries have happened to those 2 groups, we've struggled.
  12. Josh Bell is a pro and he's been a pro all summer for this team. No way he comes back with all the young guys on the doorstep but, if this team makes the playoffs, it will because Bell has a special last 5 weeks.
